In How Lovely Are Thy Branches, Carmela holds a Christmas party and invites all our favorite wizards. Carmela’s reason for the party is to finally get Filif dressed up as a Christmas tree, which he was interested in back in Wizard’s Holiday. This was a really sweet story and basically pure fluff. Character interactions were at the forefront. Fun. No major events, just a get-together with friends...some realizations, and new understandings (of course, it's a Duane). One sort-of confrontation, but not with the Lone One - just a couple of bullies, though according to Filif they're doing His work. Filif does greatly enjoy being decorated. We also get to see more of Kit's parents, which is nice - they haven't shown up much, nor have we gotten to see them dealing with Kit being a wizard and Carmela being...whatever she is (they manage just fine, thanks). And oddly enough, there's this big threatening blizzard - which plays basically no part in the story, aside from slightly limiting the time a few of the wizards can spend at the party. Not sure why it was mentioned at all. I do enjoy Duane's Young Wizards shorts - nice insights and sidelights on the main stories. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

The Rodriguez parents know that their two younger kids, Kit and Carmela, are wizards, but unlike Nita and Dairine Callahan's dad, they haven't previously experienced a full-blown wizard party at their home. Moreover, this time, the guest of honor is Filif, the Demisiv, who just happens to look an awful lot like the Christmas tree of your dreams.
Filif, having learned about Christmas and Christmas trees, wants to be decorated--tinsel, garlands, decorations of all kinds, and lights. When Marcus, coming in from Germany for the party, mentions that actual lit candles on the tree used to be traditional, and are still included in some places, Filif wants those, too. His friends wonder if that's going a little far...
Meanwhile, the biggest winter storm in decades is bearing down on New York City, and the Terror Twins, next door, are bent on their usual mischief.
This is a fun, warm, enjoyable Christmas novelette, canonical in the Young Wizards series. A nice little addition to your holiday reading.
