Most of the common rooms at this time of year were quiet and empty, as most students went home to see family over the winter break. Most, but not all students.
Those students who remained were always woken up, either by the gifts that had been placed upon their feet, or from the sound of other students opening their own gifts. Either way this was quite a warm morning for all the students waking up Christmas morning to find gifts waiting for each of them. There were gifts with Isabelle's name on them, some with Alora's, and others with Arcturus's.
The common rooms were all decorated in holiday decorum and each looked wonderful. The fire was going and it was very warm and cozy inside. No classes were held, so many students took the opportunity to explore the castle, while others just stayed in the Common Rooms to relax. The occasional student could be found studying or reading, getting a head start on the upcoming term.

Isabelle woke up and went straight for her gifts at the foot of her bed, unwrapping several pieces of clothes from her parents and grandparents and inspecting them for quality, and checking in the mirror if the colors fitted her.
She opened a gift from her sister, which was a sketch of Henson, her bat, and she smiled as she looked at the handmade necklace that came with it. She put it on. It had blue and black beads on it, and the charm in the middle was a sculptey bat with a W on it. A little tacky, but still cute.
Isabelle walked down to the common room to sit near the fire and enjoy the sunrise, feeding Henson, as she waited for breakfast time, where she would meet up with Lilianne. Her best friends were spending the holidays with their families, so she looked a bit confused without her usual entourage to blab with.

Arcturus opened his eyes blearily at about 2:30, finally deciding to get up. He yawned and pushed off his blankets to see a pile of presents at the foot of his bed.
Woah! Do they normally do that?
This was the first time Arcturus had stayed at Hogwarts for Christmas, so he had no idea that they brought presents to your bed. He figured they must do it for everyone.
He leapt down and started ripping through his presents. He got a lot of good books this year! A couple nice shirts, and some candy. An excellent haul, on the whole, he thought. He sat back, contented, to read one of his books and munch on candy.
