Mab can not pass the threshold with evil intent. That is not who she is. And that is why the angels let her in.

I think it is more complicated or perhaps more simple, why was Ethinu confident that the Turtlenecks would get past the angels?

Apparently because they were human enough for that purpose or the ones chosen for that mission were. The distinction between human and not human is vague in the dresdenverse.
But that has nothing to do with why Mab was allowed to enter because she is clearly not human enough and would have been stopped if she was a threat. She clearly was not and the hospitality rules for Sidhe explain why.

Their lunch I suspect is a planning session taking place on St Nicholas Saints Day, 6th December.
We know on a related note from The Good Folk that Harry has taken back the Placard from McAnally, as the “Royal Guard” we’re able to break into his ale store.

I would think some little fairies breaking in to raid the kegs would be a bit beneath what the placard is for. I doubt whatever it does would kick in for that sort of thing. Seems like the wording implied people being protected.

The Placard may have already been returned to the island for safe keeping. And stealing a keg or two of ale doesn't actually hurt anyone. I wouldn't be shocked if that had done it before and that Mac actually takes that into account when he makes his ale, that a keg or two would be lost to greedy little Brownies and Pixies. They need beer to go with all that pizza, right? ::)

No Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer?!?!?!
He has more childhood belief than there is in Eldest Gruff or the Erlking.
