The Holidays on Shadow.
Dec. 24th, 2007 04:34 pmSallie Reynolds is Christian as strictly as anyone is in her where and when; enough to have passed on to her son some form of an actual denomination as he grew older.
Having Jack and Kate and Piotr over this year? The holidays are feeling a lot more hectic, for Sallie, but she's been smiling almost nonstop. She knows Jack's noticed as well; he's stopped looking at her worriedly while he thinks she's not paying attention, enjoying his own lopsided smile as she makes him eat a second helping of everything.
Dinner is a spectacle even by Sallie's standards -- there's the normal amount she cooks extra to give out to her staff the next day, but having three people in the house besides herself? Ham, potatoes, red corn (a specialty on Shadow -- another terraforming quirk), and as a last-minute addition, wassail.
The influence of Milliways.
