Email to Kurt, Alison, Haroun, Moira and Hank

Just a quick email to let you all know the firecracker and I made it to my parents' house in one piece, despite the best efforts of weather and holiday traffic. I may not survive the holiday itself, since Mom has already started with the force-feeding (Haroun, massive amounts of workouts when I get back to burn off all this food), but Jubilee is in her element. I think my sister Carlie has adopted her as a long-lost twin - I can hear them giggling and plotting through the wall as I speak. The world may never survive. *grins*

I have to say it, it's good to be home. Have ao good holiday, all, and I'll see you on Saturday.

Maddie.

Lots of good - slept like the dead last night and I'm about to go help Mom with Thanksgiving dinner. As always, she's got enough food to feed an army, but I know she'll donate anything leftover and non-perishable to the local homeless shelter.

How're things in the madhouse? It occurs to me you're not exactly a Thanksgiving type, given you're German. Is the whole thing completely incomprehensible to you? Or just a good excuse for everyone to relax and possibly eat too much? ;)

Maddie.

Chaotic, as ever. Jamie and Rahne have taken over cooking duty, since Lorna and Alex have gone away, and I do not think they have left the kitchen all day.

Thanksgiving seems a fine holiday to me. It is true we do not celebrate it at home, but the reasons behind it are worthy ones. And, of course, the relaxation and overeating play an important part. ;)

Kurt

I think our resident chef needed the break as much as anyone - we tend to forget Lorna does occasionally have a life outside the kitchen. And I'm sure Jamie and Rahne will fill the breach admirably. Although, do me a favour? Make sure Rahne doesn't a) end up with the cleanup and b) doesn't go back on duty in medlab afterwards? She needs a break as much as any of us, I think.

Maddie.

I will see to it. Jamie, as we are all aware, can handle the cleanup by himself with no difficulty, if he does not manage to recruit any helpers. And I will make sure Rahne rests, afterwards. She seems to have become the mansion's venison provider, on top of everything else - she caught another deer this morning. :)

Kurt

*laughs* I think deer stalking is becoming Rahne's stress release. It's a little unusual as those go, but whatever it takes. And thank you - I tend to try and keep an eye on her, make sure she isn't overdoing it. The quiet ones tend to be easy to overlook.

Maddie.

This is true. Although even some of our more vocal students have been remarkably quiet lately. Which may be a cause for concern as well...

Kurt

Drama overload, perhaps? There's only so much fussing and fighting you can have in the face of all the crap that's been happening.

Maddie.

It may very well be that. I will be trying to keep an eye on them, all the same.

Kurt

Make sure you aren't doing it all alone, Kurt. Otherwise I'll have to kidnap you for a change. :)

Oh, Jubilee says hi, by the way. She and Carlie have been playing makeover and uh-oh... Um, help? They're looking at me with that scary 'we're going to do something weird to your hair in the name of fashion' look.

Maddie.

Hello to Jubilee in return, then. And I do not think there is much I can do, I am afraid. ;) Philadelphia is a little out of my range, even if I had been to your parents' house before.

Kurt

I'm doomed. *mocksighs* Ah well, it's been fun. See you when I get back.

Maddie.

Have a good time!
