Thor had been studying Midgard traditions this year, and had insisted on trying out every one of them. They'd just done Diwali, and Christmas was next up. Frigga had managed to acquire most of the required decorations from Midgard herself, and they were about to decorate the palace. "Brother!" Thor yelled, racing through the halls. "Loki! We're decorating!" Loki emerged from behind one of the columns. "Where?" "Everywhere!" Loki grinned at him. "We're covering the whole of Asgard?" "Everywhere in the palace, silly." "I know. Where first?" "Follow me!" Loki fell into step next to him as he walked swiftly back to the throne room. Frigga looked up from laying out the decorations in front of the pine tree and smiled at them. "You didn't start without us, did you?" Thor asked worriedly. "No, dear, I'm just putting them out." she replied. "Good." he said, picking up a strand of tinsel and winding it around the tree. He couldn't get the end of it high enough and tried to jump. Frigga chuckled. "That's not going to work, darling." she said, taking it from him and winding it up the tree. Loki picked up another strand and inspected it, holding it up to the light. "It sparkles." he said. "Yeah, it's glittery." Thor said, winding a piece around his younger brother. "Hey!" Loki said, throwing the piece he was holding around Thor and looping it around his back. Thor spun around and the ends twirled out with him. Loki laughed and his brother stopped and picked up another strand to put around him. He slowly advanced and Loki ran around to the other side of the tree. Thor ran at him and they chased each other around the tree while Frigga laughed at them.
