24/25

The rooms need to be ready for Santa -- smudging, cleansing, exorcising, and the like. This year Xiu is in charge. (She has a lot of experience in explosions.) Xiu has a lot of lesser known gifts, which include baking with acorns, digging very deep holes, and weather forecasting. It's hard to know what to do when you hit all the marks in life. Santa, though. His pull is heavy like a heavyweight on a tug-of-war line.
