[ There's the sounds of hands clapping and then a soft giggle. ]

It's almost Christmas, isn't it? This is my first Christmas away from home - it's very exciting.

[ She pauses, and then hums in thought. This is all a little too much for her. ]

How do you normally celebrate Christmas? I'd really like to know.

Back home we didn't really do anything. I mean... I think we got a day off every other year but I think that's about it.

[withindark]

Oh, that's so sad! You should have lots of fun here!

[ninthserenade]

Sad? How?

[withindark]

Christmas should be celebrated with family and presents!

/feels a bit better *replies*

[vampirize]

I don't really celebrate it that much- it's really turned into some kind of consumer holiday, really.

/SNUGGLES

[withindark]

A consumer holiday? How?

/HUGS

[vampirize]

People now compete to see who has the most lights or decoration on their house on Christmas Eve. And you can't forget how people practically stampede over each other in order to get the latest bargain at the store. The holiday's has almost turned into a farce.

<333 i'm glad you feel better!

[withindark]

Oh... I always thought Christmas was a time for family, even... Even if Father wasn't able to be there.

I've never celebrated Christmas.

[But quietly...]

But if you want to get a tree, then fine.

action forever <333

[withindark]

I... I don't think a tree will do me much good, Zen.

[ She giggles to herself. ]

You can have one, though!

[fjdnavlksdf why did he forget.]

I'm fine without one. Is there something you'd want to do?

[Despite his kind words, there was a strange harshness to them. He obviously has no idea how to be nice. :C ]

[withindark]

What I would like to do? Oh.

[ She pauses. She doesn't want to ask for anything because she can feel the slight harshness in his tone, but... ]

I would like to spend Christmas with you, Zen.

[withindark]

It's a celebration! Something fun and new.

[withindark]

I think it depends on who and where you are. At home Maka and I would spend it together. Sometimes, Father would be home - but that was rare.

[withindark]

It's fine. Father... He did what he could.

[ After a moment pause, her voice comes back and she sounds happier. ]

Yes! All the people you care for.
