...Goodness is it really only four more days til Christmas?
It probably won't be too much of a shock to either of you, but Christmas presents may be a bit lacking this year. ...From me that is. Really very sorry about that, and I'm feeling horrible about it so any sort of chores you'd like to pass up (groceries, bathroom, anything) I'll more than gladly do them. (But I am not organizing your, ahem, toy collection, Chizuru. I mean it.)
...You're doing well, I hope? Sorry I haven't called I've, uh, been thinking.
..Not in the bad way, mind! Just-- thinking. Heh.

What are your plans for Christmas?
