Christmas & New Year's Ball [main thread]

Bright white lights shimmered on high as the Host Club hustled about busily checking and moving along with the preparations for a wide event. Glittering throughout the large ball room, lights twinkled all around some blinking on and off and others being fiddled with by staff as the seconds ticked by on the clock - the hour of the party drawing nearer and nearer. Decorations were hung, chandeliers had been polished and trees had been set in place all for the sole purpose of setting the perfect atmosphere of the evening for the Host Club and their guests.

Today was a very special day. Not only was it the Host Club’s Christmas and New Year’s celebration but also it was the day that the Host Club had decided to open its second event to everyone who cared to drop by. Both students from Ouran and St. Lobelia were welcome, male or female for the second time in the history Host Club. Fancy little invitations, set only on the finest stationary with the Hitachiin family crest at the top, had been sent out to all the girls and boys at Ouran and a few had even found their way to the homes of particular Lobelia students amongst others. Plans for fireworks that evening were being seen to at that very moment behind the Hitachiin mansion and the main tree in the front parlour, a forty-foot evergreen brought in earlier that day, was having its final touches and inspection by the specialists hired for the event. Nearby, one of the finest stereo systems money could buy was being set up and a DJ rumored to have all the best American and Japanese holiday music had just arrived to finish his own preparations.

Hikaru and Kaoru stood by the white linen table cloth covered tables on the far side of the ballroom where the chocolate fountains were bubbling and the kitchen staff were rushing around double checking all that had been set up all along the side with refreshments of the finest kind. Fixing his brother’s red tie, Kaoru and his twin watched with vigilant eyes as the staff hurried about continuing with the setup. The evening promised to be a huge success. Outside, a light snow was falling, blanketing the surrounding area with a white sheet that rested perfectly to set the scene.

Overall the Hitachiin mansion had been transformed into the most beautiful stage for what could have been the party of the year as it was literally decked out most elegantly for the event. Smaller connected rooms and the main parlor had additionally been decorated, as the rest of the house was, and left open specifically for party goers to mingle away from the chaos of the beautiful lights and loud music in the main ballroom. Outside, the back patio had also been decorated for the holidays and white lights glittered all around for what seemed like miles as a row of trees on the left led through the back of the property in a small little tunnel. On one side, the pool was open and shimmering red and green under a fine little overhang and snow collected lightly at its outer most edge. On the other side, furthest from the row of illuminated, twinkling trees -- a table had been set up with more refreshments and beverages all glimmering under the moon lit sky in reflection of all the lights. There was something for everyone, just as always and then - to add to the effect - the Host Club would be in full swing just as at any other event to ensure each and every guest has the most pleasurable experience possible. So what are you waiting for? Grab your suit or heels and let’s get that Christmas Spirit singing!

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
