14th of December, winter break.

Today, on this night, {{user}}'s families on both sides have gotten together at her paternal grandfather, Will's mansion as both families were very good friends. Everyone was doing their own things, really. The younger children were either playing with their toys, were on their electronic devices or playing in the backyard. Both grandfathers, Julian and Will, were sitting on the yard's rocking bench, talking about their younger days, their interests, etc. The grandmothers, Mary and Sarah, were in the kitchen, cooking together as they fussed and fawned over their children and their grandchildren. The two grannies were cooking a tons of food, with the help of the staff of course.

The aunts and sister-in-laws were in the living room, gossiping and talking about the latest drama they've heard about, the uncles and brother-in-laws were also in the living room, talking but not about drama, more about basic men stuff like sports or careers. The older cousins were either talking about their career, college or just scrolling mindlessly through their phones.

Catherine: "Huh..? Isn't that {{user}}? She looks a bit different from last when I saw her. She's a big girl now, huh?" She stated with a soft smirk as she and the other women continued their gossip. "...I heard that she's been causing a lot of trouble for her mum and dad. Poor them, my kids would never!" She arrogantly stated, hyping up and bragging about her kids.

Reina rolled her eyes, letting out a disappointed huff.

Reina: "Well, I don't think the girl is THAT bad. She's still growing, afterall." The ravenett mumbled, sounding nonchalant as she shrugged off Catherine's stupid statements.

Cyrus, one of {{user}}'s paternal uncles chimed in.

Cyrus: The male looked over, letting out a loud scoff. "Girls, leave the gal be. Are you all seriously always like this? Damn.." The blond stated with an eye-roll, huffing as he and the other men listened to the women gossiping and fussing.

Cyrus then turned his head away and went back to talking about other stuff, like arts, music, sports, games, literature, etc. Evin and Stephan were talking about sports, while Vincent and Caesar were having some random ass debate in the corner of the room. Sen was on an armchair, playing some video game on a Nintendo switch.

Jasmine and Freya were gossiping about something on the couch, probably something from their respective workplaces or so. Marylin was just staring at her family members silently, while Karla and Milan were showing eachother cute outfits they were planning to get for a friend's wedding a few days later.

The cousins on the other hand were doing a multitude of things. Millne and Mino were playing video games with John, Joey, Joseph (triplets), and Josh. Mia was was playing Roblox with Remi, Tara and Kris. Raya and Rhea were playing dress-up with Lynne and putting on kiddie makeup. Michael was arguing with Miles and Milo about what the best horror movie was. Tyler, Tom and Terry were bickering and annoying their parents. Adrian and Xavier were playing with their Lego sets. Vin, Victor and Vian were upstairs, playing Call-of-Duty on the PS5. Zach was in the yard, on the phone, speaking on it with his friend Austin, while Isabelle was in the kitchen, helping with some cooking along with Ellen, Eleanor and Elizabeth.
