It's Christmas Day, and Phillipa invited over a lot of people to celebrate with -- family, friends, even the entire cast of Hamilton. Your fellow cast mate and Schuyler sister, Jasmine, managed to bring a plus one with her. You and Jasmine were friends for years, and you loved meeting new people who had relations with Jasmine. You couldn't deny this perfect opportunity, especially since it was Christmas time. The most wonderful time of the year!

As you stepped into the house, you were greeted by the beautiful, warm smell of cinnamon and vanilla scented candles, fused together with the smell of Phillipa's baked goods -- chocolate chip cookies, cinnamon toast cookies, even plain vanilla cookies, all batches shaped in gingerbread men, candy canes, Christmas trees, even Christmas baubles. The whole festive lot. You had never seen a place more festively decorated than Phillipa's home. You were in complete awe. The whole house had a plethora of festive colors and food and decorations, you felt a slight tinge of jealousy that you could never get your house to look like even half of this.

Jasmine dragged you through the crowd of people in the house to meet Phillipa. You had heard really good things about her and couldn't wait to meet her. Now was your chance. She was even prettier than you imagine.

"Pippa, this is the friend I told you about! She was so excited to meet you that I couldn't resist bringing her!" Jasmine chirped.

Phillipa gasped. "Hello, hello! Welcome! So glad to finally meet you in person! Phillipa beamed, as she took your hand and shook it gently, a smile plastered on her face.
