[At first, Ellie blinks a little in surprise, but then she holds her arms out, spins, and strikes what she must believe to be a 'model' pose. Hip jutting out, one hand on it, a dramatically curled wrist and a prissy expression.]
[When he finally stops laughing Jamie sit up and drags over some stuff. Glass baubles with handmade pictures on it or origami shapes inside a clear one or glitter bombs.]
Christmas decorations! Sandy's going to grow us a tree that we can decorate so I thought it should have decorations we all made.
Maybe, but I don't know, I might be able to manage it.
-evergreen, huh?
[Ellie closes her hands around the wood chip, carefully concentrates. Between her fingers, the linked boughs of evergreen begin to grow in a little circle, joining together in a braided wreath by the time she's done. It looks passably nice.]
[Even though he saw it on his first day here, even though Sandy has the ability - it never gets old seeing it. Which is why he watches in rapt fascination.]

[Guys who like sparkly stuff. Ellie reaches out to prod at a cutout snowflake, just barely smiling, but it's a real smile.]
It's kinda nice. Looks like a home.

[Jamie grabs paper chain links from the couch and drapes it around Ellie's neck like a boa.]
We're getting ready for the holidays.

You're funny, Ellie.

Christmas decorations! Sandy's going to grow us a tree that we can decorate so I thought it should have decorations we all made.
You wanna help?
[Action]
Fair warning, I might suck at it.
[Action]
Doesn't matter.

[Ellie laughs, then gets a wood chip out of her pocket, tossing it in the air once before catching it.]
What are those?
[She points out a wreath hanging on the door, curiously.]
I bet I could do some of them.
[Action]
[Something he learned here when he read up on ice, snow and all things wintery.]
They're wreaths, made from evergreen trees.

[Ellie closes her hands around the wood chip, carefully concentrates. Between her fingers, the linked boughs of evergreen begin to grow in a little circle, joining together in a braided wreath by the time she's done. It looks passably nice.]
That's getting easier.
[Action]
Still pretty awesome though.
[Action]
[She holds out the little wreath.]
[Action]
[Yep, there's a mischievous grin.]
[Action]
[Jamie, she is always game for this. Always.]
[Action]
Santa!

[As he describes it he also mimics it.]
[Action]
[So it is real. She half thought everyone was making that junk up.]
[Action]
[lol, he doesn't know if it's real. The only hat he's ever seen North wear is his black fuzzy one.]
