Harvey loves the holiday season. It's something that he looks forward to every year. Spending time with family and friends and the ones he's closest to and cares for the most. There's always a spike in crime around the holidays of course, but the week of Christmas to New Year's is spent feeling more relaxed than most any other week of the year for Harvey.
Taking a break from his Christmas shopping, or maybe it will end up being a part of it -- he hasn't fully decided of that yet, Harvey ducks into a jewlery store and is greeted with smiles by the clerks and escorted over to look through cases of rings that he couldn't possibly choose just one from. He spends two hours looking through each one, examining the qualities and various styles until he finds one that he's sure is the right one.
He hadn't expected to walk in such a store much less make any purchases. The clerk assisting him smiles and wishes him good luck and a Merry Christmas. Harvey smiles brilliantly back at the woman and nods, saying the same back to her. In his mind, though, he's telling himself Happy New Year instead. The coming year is going to start looking up for Harvey Dent and that is definitely one slogan he can get used to and believe in for himself.
