Madarame + Kenshin

Near the tree, Madarame stood, holding the present he had bought Kenshin in his hands. He wondered if he had made the right choice in buying him a bonsai plant at the dollar store. Not that he saw Kenshin as being much of gardener, but he had heard that taking care of a bonsai plant was an excellent way to relax.

Kenshin wandered into the lounge and over to Madarame, carrying a large canvas scroll over his shoulder and his sword at his side, as always.
"Hello, Madarame-dono."

[72yroldpitviper]

"Kenshin-sama." Madarame greeted him with a bow. "I've been waiting for you to arrive... I hope you'll enjoy this offering for you." He then presented him with the bonsai plant.

[[ For any other presents given. ]]

Tsuuma sat beside the tree with her bag of gifts, waiting for any of those she'd bought gifts for to come along so she could give them out. She'd actually been surprised by how many thing's she'd bought. She didn't realize she'd made so many friends here! Tsuuma smiled to herself and looked at the bag beside her.

[[ Kamina, Dr. Horrible, Ema, Madarame, Asuka, Cisqua, Kenshin, Ned, and Pepinot all have presents from the CatWife waiting for the! 8D ]]

Asuka was walking up to Tsuuma, already expecting a gift from her like she had from everyone else on the train. Lifting some hair away from her face, she looked down at the catwoman, though tried not to gawk at her ears again. "Hello. I'm here to pick up my gift from you, if you don't mind."

[imaginarywife]

Tsuuma smiled and dug through her bag, pulling out an obviously soft, wrapped gift. She held it up to Asuka, not seeming to grasp how selfish or snobby her assumption that Tsuuma had something for her might have been. The tag read "To: The pretty red haired girl." Inside the wrapping paper was a pretty kimono that Tsuuma had found. With it was a small note that read

Dear Pretty Red Haired Girl,

You seemed a bit down the other day. I thought this might cheer you up a bit. I thought it would look nice on you.

Smile a little more,
Tsuuma <3

Misc. holiday activities

[[ For those who want to do something else, like admire the tree, eat some Christmas cookies, or just to watch A Christmas Story.

On the couch, Molly sat with the remote control on her lap. Christmas tended to be more boring to her after the mid-morning excitement was over. All there was left to do, at least in her case, was to sit there and watch whatever Christmas specials were on TV. Unfortunately, she had to sit through another viewing of A Christmas Story. "I hate this movie."

[happytimetemp]

Walking in, George plopped down on the couch beside Molly, holding onto a candy cane.

"What movie?" she asked, looking at the tv. "Oh, hey. I know this."

[powerfulbruiser]

Glancing away for a few seconds, she watched George sit down next to her. "You do?" It had been a long time since anyone had said they'd seen something from the same world as her. Most of the time, Molly thought she was the only person from a modern era.
