[He's really not happy about the snow and cold returning, firebender or not. And he's really not happy, still, with what happened during the mistletoe curse day or whatever it was; stupid Agni-damn plants.]

I still don't get how you could live in this weather your entire lives.

[Yeah, Water Tribe kids, he's talking to you.]

Aw, c'mon, Zuko...it's sort of a nice break from the warm, isn't it?

...I got a present for yooou~!

[manofgnee]

Because Christmas is fun!

[pyromatics]

We celebrate the Summer Solstice in the Fire Nation with a Summer Festival. Anything to do with celebrating the cold, winter and snow - that's the Water Tribes.

[manofgnee]

Christmas isn't about cold. It's about giving, and caring for friends and exchanging presents to show that we all like each other. There's also lots of cool food and neat, albeit weird, traditions!!

[pyromatics]

... I see. [Keeps mum then; there is no such thing as giving and exchanging gifts at the Summer Festival. Everyone just goes into Caldera City or around the Capitol for shows, wearing masks, dancing, etc.]

[manofgnee]

C'mon, we gotta teach you about Christmas!!

[pyromatics]

It's pointless, isn't it?

[manofgnee]

No it's not.

[pyromatics]

I'll never celebrate this 'Christmas' when I return to the Fire Nation.

[manofgnee]

But you're here, so why not celebrate?

[pyromatics]

Not my thing.

[manofgnee]

Aw, but it'll be fuuun!!

[pyromatics]

[SIGH. Agni, Hanna... You really do know what buttons to push. Just like Aang.]

... Fine.

[manofgnee]

[He's basically just like Aang.]

AWESOME!!

[pyromatics]

[He is! And this has Zuko cringing and responding in a deadpan tone:] Yeah - great... ... ... ...

[manofgnee]

[Hanna just makes a happy noise.]
