This Christmas certainly feels more quiet than last years, but of course, appearances are often deceptive, whether consciously so or otherwise. At any rate, the scientists are certainly feeling far less giving when compared to last year; I wonder whether it's related to choice or a result of inevitability

Gift for whom?

[angelic_lawyer]

That's the question, really, isn't it?

[rules_the_north]

Not for the people.

[angelic_lawyer]

No?

I don't think I'm anyone's 'gift', Pardner.

Sounds like you've been here awhile.

[angelic_lawyer]

How nice for you, then.

You could put it that way.

[in_texas]

How long has it been?

[angelic_lawyer]

[...] Fifteen months, more or less.

What happened last year?

[angelic_lawyer]

If I remember correctly, the scientists gave us Christmas crackers. There were also stockings, but I'm not sure if they were given a little closer to Christmas.

You mean they actually did something nice? What was the catch?

Some individuals found themselves in supposedly festive costumes.

[blameshimself]

Arrivals substituting as gifts, hm?

[angelic_lawyer]

Yes.

"The more the merrier" is a saying, is it not?

[blameshimself]

I suppose that's true.

However, it leaves me wondering if I myself am a "gift." I arrived not too long ago, and I doubt anyone would really consider my presence to be a gift.

So, I must say, I agree that if it is the case, their choice was rather poor.

[angelic_lawyer]

It was just musing rather than anything else, on my part.

Hee hee, remember last year, Santa was supposed to bring presents?

[angelic_lawyer]

I remember.

[nunsensebridget]

I wonder if they'll try again this year... But I said that I would be too old for that by now, so I can't write to him this time. I got my first kiss then, too- I hope that doesn't happen again!

[angelic_lawyer]

I suppose we'll have to wait and see. Mm, yes. The mistletoe was a little awkward.
