The jingle of the bells could be heard as Father Christmas drove his sleigh into the stables of Cair Paravel. He had just returned from his yearly venture out of Narnia and into the Other Land.
The man quickly stepped out of the sleigh and handed over the reins of the Reindeer to the Stable dwarf. It had been a long run. It seemed that more children were born every year in the Other Land.
He would rest well tonight.

"Father Christmas!" A young man's voice exclaimed. Peter walked across the straw-strewn floor to shake the man's hand enthusiastically. "It's so good to see you back again. How was your journey?"

"Ahh! Peter!" Father Christmas enveloped the High King into a large bear-hug. Pooey on that hand-shake business! When one has jollyness nearly stored, one gives hugs. "Just lovely, Your Majesty. Just lovely."

Peter turned and tried to hide a smile as he listened to the two beavers quarreling. Finally, he burst out laughing. "Well, you needn't have carried that all the way here. We could have sent someone to bring you!"
He knelt and gave both beavers a quick hug, and then turned to smile at Father Christmas. "It is good to see all three of you again."

Father Christmas smiled as the Beavers approached. He had always liked them above all Speaking Animals. They were down-to-earth, and witty. A very good couple of people. "Good day, Beavers. Mrs Beaver you look as lovely as ever. Mr Beaver, have you lost weight? It's showing, my friend."
The old man winked and patted Peter on the back. "Yes, my friend, were are the others? I have something for all of you. Beavers included."

((You don't mind if I post now, do you?))
[Three days ago] With the holiday spirit surrounding the faun like an aura of holiness and a cheery little tune about his lips, Tumnus the faun felt obligated to visit his dear royal friends at Cair Paravel. The faun packed a few fresh-baked tea cakes seperately in clean little kerchiefs, put a about a half a dozen eggs in a warmed bowl with a lid and tied it off with string, and last of all, a a good bottle of cheer, given by Bacchus and Silenus. The placed the lot into a satchel, which he slung about his shoulders, wrapped his red scarf snugly around his neck, and took his umbrella in hand. Curling his tail over his arm, he set out.
***
[Current Time] "Ah! Holiday tidings, Your Majesty, Father Christmas, and Mr. and Mrs. Beaver." called Tumnus, reaching the group. He bowed a little bow to each.

Peter was overjoyed that many of his friends and close allies were coming together. He shook the faun's hand vigorously.
"Welcome Mr. Tumnus! Lucy and Susan will be delighted to see you! Why don't you all come in and we'll have dinner together?"

"Ah, that would be simply marvelous, Your Highness, and oh! I've almost forgotten! This is for you and the others, yes. A batch of my own tea cakes, eggs, and a bottle of fine wine." said the faun, holding out the little basket.
