Thinking of Christmas already? Hadn't even crossed my mind.

I've never done a Secret Santa either, though I remember one of my friends from home mentioning it over Christmas last year. That could be fun.

[thief_of_truth]

I'll see what everyone else thinks, and maybe we can get something together.

[perfektsymmetry]

Great, that sounds good to me. We should have a party then, too.

[thief_of_truth]

Yeah, a party sounds like a great idea!

[a_gentle_boy]

Christmas is . . .

[Lucas racks his brain for a few moments before coming up with the answer. He'd heard of it a few times here and there.]

It's like a celebration of Winter, right? I think that's a great idea.

[thief_of_truth]

Yeah, close enough. There's some religious history behind the holiday, but most people just celebrate it by exchanging gifts with people they care about.

[a_gentle_boy]

Can I just give things instead? I don't think there's anything I would really want . . .

maybe more petroleum jelly and painkillers

[thief_of_truth]

Sure, I guess so. But are you sure there's nothing you want? I don't mind getting you something!

[thief_of_truth]

Yeah! It's a winter holiday where I'm from. Family and friends get together and bake cookies and exchange gifts with each other. It's a lot of fun!

[thief_of_truth]

Hmm? No, I'm pretty sure it's always been in December...

[rogue_pineapple]

It's not even Halloween.

I've been real good this year, so get me Tsunayoshi.

[thief_of_truth]

It's never too early to start planning, though!

But, uh... Tsuna's not really mine to give.

[rogue_pineapple]

I suppose so. Christmas is such a banal holiday though.

As the assistant rain guardian, I'm sure you can convince him to show up at my house.

[thief_of_truth]

Couldn't you just ask him yourself? You've known him longer than I have...

After sex advice, I'd like to believe that Ema's on the list. XD If not, oops.

[glowing_science]

Talking about Christmas already? Honestly, you don't have to get my anything...

Although I never did get to hear about how your big night went.

No way, she's definitely on the list

[thief_of_truth]

"Everyone keeps saying that. You guys are all way too nice. It's okay to be a little bit selfish on Christmas!"

[Laughs~]

"But yeah! It went really well. Mission accomplished."

Wow, I fail. So sorry about this!

[glowing_science]

Honestly, I'll be happy with good company, food, and some alcohol. I think we should organize a party or something... if not on Christmas proper, at least near it.

And I'm glad to hear that! No big hang ups, then?

[thief_of_truth]

Well, like you said, it was kind of awkward at first - like, neither of us knew where to put our hands, and it was hard finding a comfortable position and stuff - but we eventually got into a pretty good rhythm.
