Santa isn't the only one with a list, checking it twice. Only, Hatter's is primarily groceries, with the odd Christmas present thrown in. Unfortunately, this is stressing him out, and he's wired beyond belief

You're going to bleed eggnog if you keep drinking it at that rate.

=D

[passthetophat]

Oh- uh.

[He furrows his brow. This was, what, supposed to be his daughter, right? He strategically and intelligently sticks the carton behind his back.]

Drinking is... bad.

Privyet, not!father /o/ I did not choose G this time.

[anastynastya]

[ Anastasia rolls her eyes and starts reaching for the carton. You'll have to be faster than that. ]

That all depends on what kind of drink it is.

This time, it only went to secret!F xD

[passthetophat]

Right. [He smiles, then frowns, in quick succession. It deepens when she snatches his eggnog, and he pouts a little.] How old are you? And why are you never here, young lady?

Next time it should go to Z.

[anastynastya]

It's just eggnog, isn't it?

I'm thirteen. And I'd be here more often if I could sneak out of school without getting in trouble for it, but the last time I tried, I got caught and scolded as usual. [ frowns ]

I'll do a Christmas A-Z, except by Christmas I maybe mean New Years. Give or take a major Holiday.

[passthetophat]

No, it certainly isn't.

[He snatches the carton back.]

But! [Holds up a finger] I do have some regular eggnog in that meticulous excuse for a refrigerator.

[Twirly twirly exaggerated walk to the fridge, because he's even more overly expressive after a few drinks. He triumphantly presents her the carton.]

[anastynastya]

So what's the difference between this one and that one? [ takes the carton from him and stares at it ]

[passthetophat]

[Takes it back from her.] Alcohol is the difference, and you're too young for it.

[anastynastya]

… oh.

[ rolls her eyes ]

Well, if you're going to have it all to yourself, don't overdo it.

[passthetophat]

Course not. Your "mum" will be sharing, as well. And anyway, mind your business.

Stop skipping school.

[Triumphant smile.]
