Raúl had no idea that hosting a party would be this hard.
Now, as he ran through Latvia's -surprisingly not that small- house while carrying a raw turkey in his hands and clutching it close to his red apron, making it sure it didn't slip, he asked himself just how he'd gotten in this situation. Agreeing to help with a Christmas party... he should have known it'd be so much work!
"I got- I got the turkey!" he called out, dashing to Latvia's kitchen. Or, at least, where he thought it was. It turned out to be the bathroom, and so he had to run down the hallway in the opposite direction and try again.
This was ridiculous.
"Biggest one they had! It weighs a ton!" really, it was only about fifteen pounds. But Spaniards were known to exaggerate. "Where in the world is your kitchen, man?!"

ღ..::Latvia::..ღ  Open your ღ to the joy of Christmas! Kārlis had a pink frilled apron on..He was busy putting the cookies in the stove when he herd Spain screaming from upstairs"I got-I got the turkey!Biggest one they had! It weighs a ton!" a small pause and then the familiar voice spoke up again"Where in the world is your kitchen, man?!"Latvia finished pushing the pan with the cookies in the stove and went to peak his head out the kitchen door frame"Be careful with the turkey!And really my house isn't that big to forget where the kitchen is..At least remember it is on the first floor not on the second raul..."Latvia went back to the kitchen to start making the gingerbread mans from the ginger dough.."Oh and Raul, put the Turkey on the counter..There isn't enough place on the table right now.."
I still have to wrap my gifts up and Decorate the house with those mistletoe thingies..I wonder what really are they for..?France said to put them in as much places as possible...
The Latvian continued to push the gingerbread men from the dough..He glanced at the window..It was snowing outside so strongly you really couldn't see anything in the distance..."I wonder when will everybody arrive..?"Latvia pondered out loud.. Watch out ღ there are mistletoes all over the place! [hehe I'm trying out a different posting style too >;D That's a cool pic Aqua ;3]

"I'm trying to be!" came Spain's cry and he turned another corner that led downstairs, where he'd heard the Latvian shout. Okay, kitchen was downstairs, not upstairs. Got it. He made sure to commit that to memory as he carefully made his way down the stairs and soon enough, yup, he saw the kitchen down the hall.
Raúl was quick to make haste. Within seconds, he'd skidded down to that area and had set the raw turkey on the counter, being so glad that he finally didn't have to carry it around everywhere. He dusted his hands off on his red apron and after he heard the other muse out loud, he turned his head to glance outside. Oh, it was snowing! It hadn't been when he'd come over to the Latvian's house, so the flurry had to have started not long before.
And it looked so amazing. They were strong winds, yes, but they were so beautiful in their special way. It reminded him of his own flurries back home- strong, yet still so majestic. This would truly be a White Christmas.
"I hope they can find your house, with this coming storm." Raúl laughed meekly, and walked over to stand by the Latvian. Christmas really did bring out the best in everyone, he figured, because normally he wouldn't be helping Kārlis. There was a hint of a grudge held due to an incident that had happened quite a while ago, but all of that was forgotten. The spirit of Christmas had gotten to him and that, he figured, was why he had accepted the invitation to help with this party.
"But the party doesn't really start in about two hours. We have enough time to decorate and stuff, though." the Spaniard grinned widely and, as it is custom in his country, gave the Latvian a kiss of reassurance on his cheek. "Now, anythin' else you need help with? I got the tree done earlier- but we still need the presents- OH, the presents! I can go help with those if you want."
. This Christmas, you have my heart · · ·
. You have my voice and you have my life · ·
. You have my love ·

ღ..::Latvia::..ღ Open your ღ to the joy of Christmas!
"If they will get lost we won't have a choice but to go look for them.."The Latvian said shrugging...He was done with the gingerbread men..Kārlis sat at the table waiting for the cookies to be to turn brown and crunchy so he could take them out and put the ginger people in the oven "True, but still there always are people who arrive early..."Kārlis chuckled because he was that kind of a person who does that, but he really didn't want anybody to get here before the preparations for the part weren't ready...
He was sitting thinking about what more needed to be done when he felt something against his cheek..He glanced to his left and then he understood what it was and when he did his face was in the color of a Spanish tomato..
None of the nations have given me as much as a kiss on the cheek and now Spānija on Christmas eve..?
Kārlis lifted himself of the chair while his feet still felt a bit wobbly.. "Ahahaha I-I'll get done with the presents myself..Because your gift is included and if you would see it, it wouldn't be that interesting to receive it, no?"Latvia was trying to shake the awkward feeling he had off..He still was in the color of a tomato..A click sound ringed from the oven"A-ah The cookies.."Latvia ran to take them out of the oven..They were now brown and crunchy just like cookies have to be..He putted them in a basket one by one..After Kārlis was done getting the cookies off the pan he putted the gingerbread people on the pan and pushed the pan back in the oven.."Hey Spain!Care to taste a cookie?They are freshly baked.."The Latvian said while forgetting the previous incident..Kārlis walked closer to Spain with the cookie basket in his hands...The smell of the cookies was very yummy and if there weren't any guests coming he would have ate the whole basket..."Oh and I just remembered!Could you please hang the mistletoe
thingies or whatever are they called around the house..It's just that remembered that I forgot to do that.."
Watch out ღ there are mistletoes all over the place! [thanks ;D I edited the pic a bit[the guy was blond]]

Raúl watched the other's face slowly heat up to a red color that -amusingly- began to match the color of his apron. At simply seeing this sight he felt his own cheeks heat up and a weak laugh escaped him. Maybe he's not really familiar with that stuff, he thought to himself as an excuse, and shook his head. Besides... what am I doing? I need to save those for A-Tsai! his eyes lit up and his cheeks heated just at the mere thought of the Asian nation, and his stomach did some odd little flip at the thought that maybe that nation would show up later today. Hopefully he did. Everyone had been invited, at least as far as he knew.
"Okay- if you say so," Raúl drawled in regards to the presents, then leaned forward to take one of these new cookies that were fresh out of the ov- HOT HOT HOT.
He should have KNOWN. They had just been taken out of the oven! What was he thinking! He was just glad he dropped it on the counter in time before he got a blister or something. "It's- it's hot." he explained, and laughed meekly. "But it smells REALLY good, so-" he pressed himself against the counter then, and ushered the cookie into the apron pocket with the help of a stray fork nearby. "I'm gonna keep it there- and- yeah! The mistletoe things. Whatever they're for. They're nice decoration, though!"
A wide grin was soon on his face and he was trotting down to the table, where near one of the chairs, he saw one of the many boxes for decoration. A quick peek inside told Raúl that he'd found the box of mistletoe and holly, and so he took the white-berried and red-berried plants and began to trail down the other hall. Occasionally he'd jump up and stick either a holly or a mistletoe on a random doorway, and he made sure that they were on a lot of doorways. France had told them to put as many as they could, because it'd be great decorating and 'très intéressant'. How it was going to be 'very interesting' was beyond him but he figured he'd find out in a few hours.
Maybe A-Tsai knew what they were for?
He could ask once he got here!
If he ever came, anyway. If anyone came, for that matter.
. This Christmas, you have my heart · · ·
. You have my voice and you have my life · ·
. You have my love ·
[Ooc| Really? :0 that's awesome~ Hmm. I wonder when the others will start arriving x)]

ღ..::Latvia::..ღ Open your ღ to the joy of Christmas!
Latvia couldn't help but laugh seeing raul pushing the hot cookie in his apron pocket with a help of a fork..Then Kārlis herd Spain asking about the mistletoe thingy"I have also no idea what they are for but I like the way they look..I'm sure we can ask either A-Tsai or any other of the nations..I'm sure they might know.."Latvia said while leaning against the counter and putting the basket with fresh cookies on it..Kārlis lightly rubbed the back of his neck with the tips of his fingers in exhaustion..
I still have a lot work to do..
While thinking about what still had to be done he spotted a Christmas decoration on the table.."..huh...How did that get there?"He walked over to it and picked the fragile decoration in his hands..It was a Christmas tree decoration his father had given him when he was only 5 or 6 years old..It was white,made out of glass and it was an angel..Kārlis though he had thrown it away but he couldn't have possibly because it was right before his eyes..Yet he couldn't help but smile seeing the familiar ornament, he picked it up and went to the living room to hang it in one of the branches in the christmastree...Latvia wanted to hang the ornament in one of the highest branches but he was too short to do that so he got one of the old chairs he had putted by the side of the wall while earlier cleaning the house..Kārlis pushed the chair close to the tree and climbed up on the unstable chair and putted the fragile angel on one of the highest branch..Just when the ornament had been putted on the branch he herd a loud Snap and he was sent flying down from the chair..He landed on his butt.."Owie..."He wined while quickly getting up and rubbing his bum..It wasn't painful but it still hurted a little bit..Through his whining he had looked at the christmas tree and smiled..The ornament was there in the trees highest branch and it was shining like a crystal in the light.. Watch out ღ there are mistletoes all over the place!

 Eyja af Ís
Isle of Ice
-(not really)- ~Baldur~ Baldur struggled a little bit with the things he brought with him. He held a wrapped basket in on hand and a bowl of something in his other hand. The small nation had brought food and presents for everyone but thankfully the presents could fit in the basket he had wrapped up carefully. Now the thing was how was he going to alert the people within Latvia's home that he had arrived. He didn't want to set down the items he held but it might come to that. He could always hope that they would get wet from the snow.
It was then he felt a little weight on his head, his father's puffin had followed him to Latvia's home. The small black bird hoped off Iceland's head onto the railing before walking up to the door bell. It pressed it's colorful beak on the button. Baldur heard the small melody and hoped to get inside soon. After all his economics were still down and he didn't want to make his cold worse by standing outside.

Kārlis was busy staring at the Christmas tree with his angel ornament on the highest branch in the tree when he herd the door bell ring.."Ah..?Who is here so early already?"Latvia quickly went to the door to open it because he didn't want anyone to freeze outside..The Latvian opened the door to see the familiar Icelandic nation with his puffin standing outside.."Oh Iceland!Come on inside before you get a cold or something..Need any help with those baskets?"Latvia asked because it seemd that Iceland had a hard time holding them
Watch out ღ there are mistletoes all over the place!

Eyja af Ís Ég vilja til vilja þú a Gleðileg jól , frá the botn af minn hjarta! og a Hamingjusamur Nýár! ~Baldur~ "Y-yes I do, y-you wouldn't mind taking the broccoli slaw and Icelandic vodak would you?" Baldur said a little worried that he had arrived to early. The thing was he was worried of arriving late because back home there were some nasty snow storms coming and Iceland didn't want to miss Latvia's party especially since he told the other he would make it.
"I-I'm sorry for arriving so early." He said realizing that it probably wasn't best. That he should have just found a hotel to stay in for awhile instead of appearing on Latvia's doorstep. As he stood in the walk way happy to feel the warmth of the house. He looked about. Latvia was really going all out with the decorations and he had to admit it just looked so warm and inviting. I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas, from the bottom of my heart! and a Happy New Year!

ღ..::Latvia::..ღ Open your ღ to the joy of Christmas!
"No Not at all!"The Latvian said while taking One of the baskets with the food and taking Iceland's cold hand in his free warm one to drag him inside the house, out of the cold that was outside on his doorstep..The Latvian let go Iceland's hand as soon as he was inside and continued to carry the basket to the kitchen with both arms because it was heavy..
Poor Baldur..He must have been freezing with all those baskets in a snow storm like this..
"I-I'm sorry for arriving so early."Latvia peaked his head out of the kitchen door frame after he had putted the basket down"It's no big deal Iceland, It's okay you can help us with Spain if you want..."Latvia walked out of the kitchen with a long light blue scarf out of nowhere and went straight to baldur..He wrapped the scarf around Iceland's neck for warmth"You've got to be careful...The economic crisis is enough and I believe you don't need a worse cold than that do you?"Kārlis finished wrapping the scarf around Baldur"There!Now you'll be warm.."The Latvian said with a smile but his smile soon flattened when he felt a scent of something burnt reach his nose.."T-The gingerbread men!!"He exclaimed while running to the kitchen as fast as he could..
Watch out ღ there are mistletoes all over the place!

Raúl found out that it wasn't too hard to put up a bunch of mistletoe in multiple hallways, but the holly gave him trouble. Those leaves kept poking him! In the end, he saw that it took him quite a while to fill up at least three hallways, and by the time he was starting the fourth one -which was upstairs- he started smelling something odd. Smoke?
SMOKE. OH MAN.
"LATVIAA!" he yelled and put the decorations aside for a while, leaping down the stairs and dashing to where he remembered the kitchen was. "Something's burning, something's-!" he stopped his yelling, however, when he saw someone else standing in one of the decorated hallways. It was- oohh man, he knew who this was. Hang on. Let's see...
"Iceland!" he finally remembered, and waved meekly. "You're early! But that's all right. Glad you could make it!" he then fidgeted a bit, messing with the hem of his apron. Now he realized... everybody would eventually end up seeing him in this apron, looking like a housewife. Not too embarrassing, but it was a little awkward.

ღ..::Latvia::..ღ Open your ღ to the joy of Christmas!
The Latvian opened the oven and got the pan with the gingerbread men out..They were as black as coal and smelled awfully.."Oh dear.."The Latvian said while coughing a bit because of the smell..
I don't have enough gingerbread dough to make new gingerbread cookies...
Latvia peaked his head out of the door frame with a frown on his face to announce the news"Guys..I burnt the cookies and I guess there won't be any gingerbread cookies in the party because that was the only gingerbread dough I had...."His head hung low and his voice seemd a bit cracked..Kārlis even felt like crying but he pulled himself together.."I'm not much of a good host aren't I?"
What, you gonna cry about some cookies?Pull it together once and for all..When this all will be over you can cry as much as you want...
The Latvian lifted his head with a smile as if he wasn't sad or anything about the gingerbread cookies and spoke up once again"How about we start to cook the turkey, guys?"
Watch out ღ there are mistletoes all over the place!

Eyja af Ís Ég vilja til vilja þú a Gleðileg jól , frá the botn af minn hjarta! og a Hamingjusamur Nýár! ~Baldur~ Baldur nuzzled into the scarf after Latvia placed it around his neck. It was soft and warm. Of course he took his boots and heavy jacket off and placed it off to the side so it wouldn't be in the way. He jumped when Spain had ran down the stairs saying he smelt something burning.
"H-Hello Spain. I'll be glad to help anywhere I can." Baldur said mixing his two sentences together. Of course when Latvia popped his head out from around the corner looking rather sad. Baldur was worried that the other nation to call off the party. When it came to ginger bread dough an idea popped up into his head.
"You can call Beowulf, he doesn't live that far and I'm sure he'll have some ginger bread dough to bring over!" He suggested after all Denmark always seemed to have extra of everything. He walked towards the kitchen his sock clad feet warming his toes as he wondered what he could do to help with cooking the turkey.I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas, from the bottom of my heart! and a Happy New Year! ((so cute he left the scarf on! ;3))

Raúl flinched upon hearing the news coming from the main host. Gingerbread men? Burnt? But- but he'd heard that they were such an important part of Christmas! They needed gingerbread men, didn't they? They absolutely needed it-
But then, Iceland came up with an idea. Beowulf! Oh, who was that? Wasn't- wait, that was Denmark. Hmm, it didn't take him too long to remember that one. After all, how could you forget a character as lively as him?
"Good idea- call him, just in case." he piped up while digging into his apron pocket and taking out the cookie. Yes! It wasn't as hot now, and he took a bite, giving a groan of satisfaction the minute he did so. "HNNN, Latvia, the cookies came out fantastic! Everyone will love them." he grinned widely then and turned to run back upstairs. He'd left the box of decorations at the top of the stairs, after all. "Uh- you guys can cook the turkey! I'm almost done decorating here and then I'll come help out!"
Raúl made sure to run up quickly, because there was a lot to do and only a few hours to do it. Soon he was at the top of the stairs, and decorating again, smiling and humming a little tune in Spanish to help pass the time. "Feliz Navidad," he laughed to himself, putting up a mistletoe and holly not far from the bathroom. "Prospero año y felicidad~"
