Wow, The Nutcracker really was a lot of fun, I'm really glad we went. Everyone was so good at their roles, it really was so much fun.
It's really Christmas tomorrow. Heh, it feels like time really has gone by quickly. It's going to be strange. I know not everyone celebrates Christmas here, but I wanted to give out some gifts all the same, call it my excuse to really show how grateful I am to the people I've met here and those who have been with me through everything in our own world.
[Private to Alexiel;]
[ ✘ ] I'm not sure if this is appropriate, really, but did want to see if I could find something for you all the same. I wasn't really sure what to get, so I hope what I found was all right.
I know it's not much but you've done so much for me, and the others, while we've been here. I know it doesn't really come close to how grateful I am, but it's a start, right?

[ ✘ ] Since I had no idea what to get for you, it was suggested that I got you a colouring book. I wasn't sure if that was a joke or not, though. With that in mind, I got something like that, but hopefully you can put it to more use. I'm not sure if you're really an artistic type, as it were, but I'm sure you'll be able to find some use for them, hmm?

[Private to Sakura;]
[ ✘ ] I know we haven't known each other too long, but I really wanted to get you something all the same. Thank you for being so willing to be friends and for giving Kanda someone to relate to as far as nationality goes. It shouldn't matter, but I think deep down he appreciates it.
I hope you like the little gift. I was going to buy you a pack of Tarot cards of your own as well, but I think that's something you'll need to pick out for yourself, special connections to the cards and all that. I hope that makes sense, somehow ♥

[Private to Elaine;]
[ ✘ ] I'm sorry, I honestly had no idea what to get for you, but this just seemed so pretty. I hope you like it, even though it's just something a little silly.
It's good to see you're around again, thank you for everything.

[Private to Setsuna;]
[ ✘ ] I'm really sorry if this isn't really to your usual tastes but I was at a bit of a loss to find something for you as well. Even so, I hope it's not too bad and you can at least find a use for it while the weather is cold.
Thank you for keeping me company whenever possible. I hope we can have more opportunities to get to know each other better as time goes on. We should really head out for lunch again sometime soon, what do you say?
---
[Private to Lenalee;]
[ ✘ ] It's hard to admit to all the things you've done for me, all the things you've taught me and how you've helped me grow. Or how you will because I know the City pulled you in from an earlier time.
Regardless, 'thank you' doesn't even come close, but it's all I've got so far. It's not much, but it was a pretty trinket. I hope you like it.

[Private to Rabi;]
[ ✘ ] Heh, it was hard trying to find you something, even harder because we were shopping together! Anyway, I'm sorry it's more of a practical gift than a fun one, but it seemed to be pretty durable and given we'll all have to go back one day I figured you'd need something to stuff any notes and books you might have into.
Rabi, you... Thank you for being such a great friend to me. I had no idea I'd end up being part of such a unique band of people. I could never have dreamt of having a better group of friends. Thank you...

[Private to Miranda;]
[ ✘ ] This is sort of to go with a present Rabi has gotten for you, so I hope they go well together and you like it. Mostly, it's for the cold weather lately but if you wear it I hope you keep your hair down; it looks much better that way.
Please believe in yourself. There is so much that couldn't have been possible without you; you're such an important part of our team and I'm confident that one day you'll trust me when I say you're no-where near as hopeless as you seem to think. The very opposite in fact.

[Private to Ran;]
[ ✘ ] I'm sorry this is such a little gift, but it was very much a spur of the moment thing that made me think of you.
Hopefully, you'll find some use for them.

[Private to Kanda;]
[ ✘ ] ...it's nothing special, really. I doubt you really celebrate Christmas at all but I just remembered you saying you liked lotuses during a curse It's just... W-well. Do whatever you want with it. It was just... something I grabbed on impulse.

December 25th. That was when I met Mana and he decided that would be my birthday. So I'll be a year older this Christmas. Well, that's not accurate but it's the only birthday I've ever known. It's going to be strange.
Mana, I don't know what more this city has in store for us, but I like to think you're watching over me in your own way. Thank you for that, and for being my father. I miss you, but thank you for the memories.

Ahhh... All done now. But... who keeps putting mistletoe everywhere? It seems to be in such random places, too.
[ooc; If I've forgotten anyone PLEASE tell me ;__; I have a habit of being made of fail. And of course, affected~ So feel free to bump into him and kisses will happen. Ohnoes ♥ XD
Edit: No-one saw the fail... e_e]
