*With a glass of festive liquor to her left and some still-wrapped Christmas decorations to her right, Kaylee's kicking back and giggling.  There's lights already hung up, it looks like.*

Holidays weren't so big 'round home.  Maybe on th'Core, where there's time an' money an' all, but t'was always pretty simple f'me.  Just prettyin' things up

[He's quiet for the first few seconds of his response, brow-ridges furrowed in thought.]

I...I think this a great idea. And, and I want to help.

*A big, bright grin.*

Shiny! That'd be real nice.

[michaeljangelo]

Yeah?

[He brightens up a bit himself.]

Okay. Um...well, we never really did much with Christmas back home. It was more a spectator sport than anything else. So while I've got ideas, what sorts of things do you like to do?

[shiny_lilkaylee]

Yeah. I ain't ever done it too grand, just a meal an' maybe what gifts can be given, but mostly just bein' with folk.

I think that can totally be arranged. I love to cook, and usually it's just me and Raph eating. He's a meat and potatoes kind of guy, so this would give me an excuse to try something new!

That'd be real nice. What counts as Christmas food seems t'vary, so there's plenty choices.

Back home it depends on the neighborhood or borough you live in. Some people do lasagna, some do ham, some duck. Heh, Chinese take out is a good bet too.

Do you have a favorite?

Oh, I ain't picky. Any'f it sounds nice.

[His eyes get this faraway look to them, as if he's retreated to somewhere other than their here-and-now conversation.]

Well...okay. I've...hmm.

[shiny_lilkaylee]

Hmm what?

Video

[michaeljangelo]

Huh?

...

OH! Oh sorry. I, I was thinking about the menu. I've always wanted to try and make a Sweet and Sour turkey.

Don' worry on it.

*A slow nod.* That sounds real nice.

[His face breaks into a very wide smile. It's the kind of smile that if you know him well, often results in you being the one to worry.]

Oh I'm not worried. This is going to be awesome!

*Kaylee's just going to give him the benefit of the doubt and smile along.*

Sounds it!

[michaeljangelo]

[That's probably wise.]

I'll be honest, I could never really tell, but...do people make Christmas Eve more of a thing? Or is it Christmas Day?

...

Wonder if there'd be enough interest in both...

[shiny_lilkaylee]

Think it depends on who it is? Prob'ly could go both ways.
