Tip didn't have a lot of favorite things about this time of year -- in fact, she resented the hell out of it as a general rule, though she'd learned to keep that much quieter and not get it all over anyone else -- but if she had to pick something, she'd pick the gremlin carolers. Hands down.

Hence her listening with rapt attention as an especially small gremlin in a little newsboy cap and scarf belted out a beautiful if unintelligibly growly rendition of "O Come O Come Emmanuel".

She applauded wildly when it finished. The little gremlin bowed and then held out its hand expectantly.

". . . Wait, since when did you guys start expecting tips?"
