[ON CHRISTMAS EVE]

[themagichappens]

[there are two giant robots dressed as Santa and Mrs. Claus. Where they got outfits that fit, nobody knows.]

As usual, you've come up with the most... interesting idea.

You did agree to catering for the season.

Perhaps in some amount of haste.

((Seeing as Livejournal is yet again being Starscream, the wife and I are bowing out for now. WILL PICK UP!))

Have you been a good boy?

[redemption_fail]

. . . What sort of question is that?

[Yes, he has been relatively good for the last few months.]

[themagichappens]

One that surely deserves an honest answer.

[redemption_fail]

What's your definition of "being good"?

[themagichappens]

That is for you to decide.

[redemption_fail]

[Neither good or bad---just confused?]

So it matters at Christmas?

[themagichappens]

According to human traditions, yes.

[redemption_fail]

It was supposed to matter everyday too. So what is your--the mythical figure's role in this then?

[themagichappens]

To bestow gifts upon the deserving boys and girls.

[redemption_fail]

You're giving out presents as well?

[themagichappens]

In a way.

[redemption_fail]

As rewards for good behavior?

[themagichappens]

Yes, of course.

[redemption_fail]

What a strange tradition . . .

Have people taken you up on this generous offer?

[themagichappens]

Strange, indeed. It is a tradition created by you humans.

More than they know.

[redemption_fail]

Presents are usually not given to strangers or received from them.

. . . That's reassuring.
