You know what I suddenly really miss

[Not talking about the mistletoe. Not even LOOKING at the Vine as she responds.]

I'm letting Kohaku cook what she wants. I'm sure there will be Christmas cake somewhere in everything.

[is_a_good_girl]

Oh, wow, lucky.

[ritsu_kouyou]

She goes entirely overboard if I don't reign her in. [a soft sigh] I don't feel like doing so this year. I'm sure there will plenty if you desperately want Christmas cake.

[is_a_good_girl]

Eh, I... I wouldn't want to ask anything else of you. You've helped me out a lot more than I probably deserve.

What is this "Christmas" you speak of?

[is_a_good_girl]

It's a holiday where I come from. It started as a religious holiday for Christians, but it's mostly secular in the rest of the world now. In Japan, it's all pretty commercial.

I used to sit down with Suwako-sama and Kanako-sama and we'd all have a chicken dinner and eat Christmas cake and exchange gifts. I never had any boyfriends, so I always just ended up spending the holiday at home in the shrine...

Since moving to Gensokyo, a place trapped in a time before Christmas became a thing in Japan, we've kind of just forgotten about it.

I'm familiar with such celebrations. [She's not very interested in them, either.] So there's no particular point to it, other than gifts and a feast? You may do that at any point here, so I'd say do what you like, when you like.

[A pause.] You reside in a shrine?

[grandtheftmecha]

Were you thinking some kinda Christmas party? I'd be up for that.

[is_a_good_girl]

I dunno about a party...

[grandtheftmecha]

I dunno much about Christmas Cake myself, though.

[is_a_good_girl]

If someone knew the recipe...

[bluetruths]

Hey, that sounds pretty good right about now.

[is_a_good_girl]

I know, right? It's a big tradition in my house to have one every year after chicken dinner!

[bluetruths]

The question is finding one now.

[is_a_good_girl]

I guess asking the Queen if she has a vendor would be silly...

[doihavepanties]

Can't you prepare your own cake?

[is_a_good_girl]

You're supposed to buy Christmas Cake, not make one.

[doihavepanties]

Ah, is that how it goes?

[is_a_good_girl]

Of course! You buy it, and then share it with the family!
