Comfort Corner

[fuzzyred]

The carpet is thick, soft and cream coloured, while the walls are a yellow bronze colour. In the corner along one wall there is a large sofa, able to seat 4 or 5 people comfortably. Along the other corner wall there is a smaller sofa for 2 or 3 people. In the middle of the furniture, there is a low, round coffee table, perfect for colouring at or for other craft activities.

There is a scratching post and a cat tree for climbing, which are both along the wall opposite the couch. A few fluffy beds have also been put out, in varying sizes, in case any one prefers the floor. There is also a large sturdy perch and a marked off area that says "Landing Pad" in case any winged friends want to visit.

There is now a blue chaise chair in the nook as well, which has been placed near the couch and is good for both sitting and spreading out lengthwise.

There are two baskets off to the side. One contains fuzzy blankets, a variety of fuzzy and textured pillows, and a collection of stuffed animals while the other contains a variety of art supplies, ranging from colouring pages and blank paper to crayons and coloured pencils, and more besides.

Extra offerings today include pancakes, waffles, caesar salad, macaroni salad, bread and fixings for a sandwich bar, and all manner of teas for drinking.

*shambles in bearing pumpkin pie and roast pork and a side of baked apples.* Happy New Year!

*flops on the couch and asks for a J snuggle*

That sounds like lovely food! *makes a plate for herself* Happy New Year! (Would this be the Pagan one?)

Yes! *gives a J snuggle* Cuddles are the best!

One of two us heatherns celebrate, yes. Samhain is celebrated more in terms of leavings; Yule is celebrated more in terms of arrivals...

Ah, that is a very interesting perspective, thanks for sharing :) I found Ysabet's Samhain ritual very intriguing as well, though it's not something I could do myself.

[technoshaman]

There are two schools of thought as to rit and they don't often overlap. Ysabet likes to write hers all the way out, and go word-for-word. I am most comfortable when I am completely winging it, speaking from the heart. But then, I am _also_ most comfortable in small groups or even solo, too; such strategy works better when you're small than when the group is large enough to need Serious Projection of Voice...

Eh bien. We're all on the same side.

It makes sense that different kinds of people would have different styles, and that different styles make work better for various size groups as well. I suspect the level of comfort might influence things a bit as well, at least in the beginning. Following word for word is easier for a novice than winging it (at least in my personal experience.)

Indeed :)
