Family crisis...uh...Christmas
Dec. 24th, 2022 04:38 pmThe table was not set, the kitchen was at least six degrees hotter than the rest of the house and Leia was bustling around the stove.
Two pots were covered and simmering on the stove top, the oven had a covered roast in it. Rolls were cooling on the counter, along with two pies. The whole place smelled of savory, spice and fresh baked bread. It was gearing up to a full holiday meal, in Leia speak though that meant more than enough for everyone and far too much for anyone.
If Leia did anything, she overdid it. It was a trait she'd been gifted by both her parents. Luke somehow managed to get the calm, serene, and thoughtful genes. Which was probably why he wasn't the one fretting over if the potatoes were going to be too thin or the gravy too lumpy.
She knew she wasn't due to have the entire family there for a while, and Han was helping with something. She just had to make sure everything came together.
