[Over the past few weeks, 336 Brady Lane has been slowly accumulating a mass of holiday decorations. Wreathes and ribbons are hung on the front door and windows, and a fresh Christmas tree (it appears to be real?) can be seen in the living room from outside. Lights are wound through the bushes and up the trees outdoors, and look quite nice and

[She'll take "non-Japanese holidays she knows nothing about" for $200, Alex.]

Oh, wow, when did you do this, Finland?

[vaimoksein]

[At least she can 1UP him in Japanese holidays that he knows nothing about!]

I'm sure you've noticed that I've been putting up decorations over the past few days now, but these flags are only going to be up for the rest of today.

[timidbraveheart]

Really? Why's that?

[vaimoksein]

Today's actually my birthday! My Independence Day, really.

[did somebody say sweet cake-like smell?

yes this warrants investigation, ie. just walking a little closer to one of the open windows...]

[vaimoksein]

[Yes indeed!

By now Finland's used to expecting Sealand whenever sweet things are in the vicinity, so he pokes his head out of the window to find.... someone he actually doesn't see all that often.]

Moi, Hong Kong!

[always drawn to foooood]

Néih hóu.

...Decoration's look good. What's with all the flags though?

[vaimoksein]

Kiitos!

Well, it's actually my birthday, so....

[thief_of_truth]

[Oh man, something smells delicious. Have a Kay walkin' on by.]

"Wow, Finland, you're really getting into the holiday mood, huh?"

[vaimoksein]

[Better than his other food, am I right?]

Of course! The holidays are my favourite time of year, after all.

[thief_of_truth]

Smells like you've been pretty busy in there.

[vaimoksein]

I have been! I've been working on this since yesterday.

[sveariket]

[In the morning, when Finland gets the flags out and starts putting them up, Sweden will stand in the doorway and watch him.

He really likes that cross, tbh. Just... what exactly is the meaning of this?]

D' y' need help?

[vaimoksein]

[Turns back to the doorway.]

Thanks, but I'm good! What do you think?

[sveariket]

...Why?

[vaimoksein]

Why I have the flags up? Well, today's my birthday, so....

[hwamei]

[ Going around town on her drone kid's bike when she gets a whiff of that smell. She parks her bicycle nearby and tiptoes a little as she leans in to look and sniff around. ]

Mm... Is that cake?

[vaimoksein]

[So classy, Taiwan. Finland leans out of the open window upon hearing her voice.]

Moi, Taiwan!

It is! I'd be happy to give you a piece once it's finished.

[hwamei]

[ aaaaaaa--

oh it's Finland. ]

Ah! Um, thank you! But isn't Finland celebrating Christmas too early?

[vaimoksein]

It's never too early to start celebrating! But so far I've only put the decorations up. The rest is for my birthday.
