*****************************************************************

1. REQUIREMENTS

*****************************************************************
This mod only requires Morrowind with the official patch or 
Morrowind that came with Tribunal /Bloodmoon.  Using Better Bodies 
is highly recommended or you will experience clipping on some of 
the outfits.

*****************************************************************

2. DESCRIPTION

*****************************************************************

This mod upgrades the "party" at Ald Daedroth to a Christmas party.    
Ald Daedroth is a Daedic Shrine just north of the Ahemmusa camp. 
Enter the shrine, go from the Outer Shrine to the Inner Shrine to 
the Antechamber.  Head either way to wrap around to a chamber in 
the back.  This mod also adds a new ingredient to the game: fish
meat.  This is for Morrowind only players who'd like to make
"resist magicka" potions.  The fish meat can be found at the party.  
It can also be purchased from the Ahemmusa Wise Woman. This mod was 
cleaned with TESAME.

*****************************************************************

3. PURPOSE

******************************************************************

I really wanted a Christmas tree in Morrowind and there weren't
any around at the time I started this mod.  I also wanted to 
experiment with dialogue.   

******************************************************************

4. Version Notes

******************************************************************

This mod has gone through a few versions in personal testing. Okay,
more than a few, but this is the first public release.

******************************************************************

5. Known Issues

A. Clipping on the women's clothing if Better Bodies isn't used.
(Psychodog Studios, http://www.psychodogstudios.net)
B. The back part of the wreath is mesh showing.  They aren't 
hanging on a flat surface, so this is how it is.

******************************************************************

6. INSTALLING THE PLUGIN

******************************************************************

To install the plugin, extract the files into the Morrowind/Data 
Files directory according into their proper folders. 

******************************************************************

7. PLAYING THE PLUGIN

******************************************************************

From the Morrowind Launcher, select Data Files and check the box 
next to the "Clean A Merry Christmas Party.esp" file.


******************************************************************

8. Save Games

******************************************************************

As with any new mod, make sure that you backup your existing save 
game before use.  This plugin should not invalidate your old saved 
games. If you save your game while this plugin is loaded, you may 
encounter error messages when you reload the saved game without the 
plugin. But you will be able to continue on with the original game. 

******************************************************************
