They don't have Christmas on Mistmantle, but they do know how to celebrate the Heart in winter. I've been Christmas shopping lately, which means that I may as well take a sleeping bag to the bookshop and move in. It got me thinking about what the animals on Mistmantle would like for Christmas.
Needle might like some green velvet and gold thread to make herself a really gorgeous cloak. Feathers might be nice around the hood. Perhaps I could have a word with a swan. She suggested that Urchin might like a complete set of the symbols for the Threadings Code to decorate his rooms at the Spring Gate, but he'd be quite happy with a bowl of walnuts and a basket or two of apple logs for the fire.
Speaking of Apple, she'd love a new mixing bowl. She left the cordial to ferment in her old one and it ate a hole right through.
Crispin and Padra are building a slide for the small animals. Last I heard, it started on Watchtop Hill and stopped somewhere just short of the tower.
And for Hope, who has wonderful new glasses, I'd like a telescope so he can see the stars.
If anybody else has any ideas for presents under the Mistmantle Tree, please tell us.
