Embers Avenue donated space for the party and provided coffee to keep energy running high. Emperor XXVIII Shelley and Empress XLIV Poison Waters helped round up the volunteers. Besides all of their assistance as wrappers, deliv erers and buyers of presents, members of the court also have organized a drive to get a good holiday dinner to each of the families on the list.
