Hello again. My wife and I welcome you to our annual Secret Santa party. This year I’ve booked a mega-lodge to fit all of our guests. There will be activities such as skiing and sledding down Mt. Fjellberg. Yamelle is somewhere around here... probably. But first we must look over the rules; it should be the same as before. I’ll just read what my wife has written down for me.

Here are the previous years of gift-giving!

What do you do? You can participate in several ways:

For Quest Authors/Signing-Up
For authors, all you need to do is declare which of your quest characters will partake in this exchange. Include their name and a link to the quest or wiki page. A picture is helpful as well. If posting multiple characters, you must state whether they’re a GROUP or INDIVIDUALS. Once we reach an appointed date, everyone will be randomly assigned their partner.

Alright! This is the fun and important part, so follow carefully! Once a match is made it is your job to write and illustrate what your character would give to their special someone! Perhaps something from their world. Or something personal! Maybe a novelty pipe cleaner. Or a box of animal crackers! Maybe a signed djent stick!
You’re not obligated to have the character respond to a gift received. But the process of your character finding/deciding their partner’s gift is expected. It can be done in one picture, five, ten, animated; doesn’t matter as long as you don’t tire yourselves out! Posting before or after Christmas is no problem either! You have until the 25 in the month of July!

Pairings will be made on December 5th. Latecomers will have until the 10th. Names will be posted with spoiler tags to keep things a secret! Have a look through past Secret Santas to get an idea how it works.

For Suggestors
Suggestors may also participate and gift a quest character! Post your idea for a present and who will receive it! Disclaimer: it will be up to the author to illustrate their characters accepting the gift. It’s a busy holiday, so they may not have time to respond.

Any character unfortunate to not receive their gift will be compensated by Christmas in July! Sometimes artists need extra time after Christmas and New Years.

And I believe that’s all she wrote. So start lining up and we’ll have some fun after the pairings.

The Ridiculously Huge Boobs Dragon Sorceress loves getting gifts. She loves it so much she'll even stoop to giving someone else a gift if it means she'll get something in return.

Merry Yuletide, peons!

A gift for Scrimbalt would be appreciated, but is not necessary.

Having undertaken an arduous ascent midst the frigid, snowy peaks of Mt. Fjellberg your skill at Pathfinding proves invaluable. Mounting the a chariot seat foisted by grand cables, you are carried aloft over sweeping slopes and craggy, frosty valleys where daring souls brave agile pursuits plunging towards the wilderness beyond.

At last, the immense lodge near yonder summit, an imperious vantage of opulent power looming whence lords and ladies slip beyond the likes of sodden serfs and peasants bereft of riches the likes of 'PTO.'

For your grand undertaking, you are accompanied by Zarin at the insistence of your party, knowing not what obstacles or hazards this adventure may bear. You had sought knowledge among those men and women in puff-jacket uniforms: allegedly, the libations to be had include 'egg nog' -- an elixir of some notoriety.

Having garbed yourselves in comfortable attire for what pagan festivities await, you take a moment to ensure that your hidden satchel is well prepared: festooned with offerings that you might bestow unto others, for it is said that it is better to give than to receive.

Santa-Fest
Even if it’s not related to gift-giving or whether you’re not participating in secret santa, anyone can post a festive image and have characters enjoy a cuppa-joe, mingle, and talk about winter sports! You won’t even have to stick with characters who are participating in the santa exchange!

We have reserved a giant ski lodge thanks to Dama pulling some strings with his massage clients. But feel free to participate in snowboarding, sledding, skiing, and even ice skating on the banks of this pearly white mountain! Guaranteed to be Yeti-free. I’ve checked! I don’t even know what a yeti is, but I’m sure I would’ve found one. Just bring along some bear spray and they may be sensitive to bells and whistles.

Now get out there and find a gift!

They cuddle their beloved bird and stuff their snout in his feathers. His racing heart slows down, remembering where he is. He’s at the Mt. Fjellberg Mega Ski-lodge for a Questden Getaway or something like that.

Eventually, the two have enough chaste and very clothed cuddling and decide to get up in their booked room. Zenith slips out of the bed in their pajamas, something they can’t quite wear to breakfast. “I wonder what they have to eat here…” Cooper gets out of bed too, making the bed before getting dressed themselves. They’re wearing their matching lighter pajamas, as they’ve had a toasty bird to sleep with for the night. The two are both somewhat out of their element, as Zebra Finches thrive at more moderate temperatures and Cooper’s had their fur shorn. Zenith checks on their present for a personification of fears, and since they were a bee, they figured it must be a hard climate for them too. They managed to find a nice sweater, one with a cute embroidered flower pattern.

"Dear Mr and Mrs. Knott,

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas. I understand you've just moved into a new house, and that can be stressful. Dealing with otherworldly entities and madness can also be equally stressful, believe me, I would know. So I've put together a care package for you to help you cope. In the package you will find:
- A Cthulhu shaped stress ball, take out your aggression on it, it also makes a funny fart noise
- Eldritch Sanity Tea blend, a cup of this and you will feel amazingly relaxed, its packed with calming herbs and flavors
- A notebook made to look like an old grimoire, use it as a journal to help you remember things you might have forgotten
- A cookie-cutter set
- Some sage to burn and bring good energy into the house, every new house needs a cleansing after all!

I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Be safe!"

Oh ho ho! It's holiday season once again!

But for two soldiers on leave, things aren't so smooth sailing off the cuff.
In a distant ski lodge, the air is abuzz with gift-giving and merriment.
But for one individual... Ozone feels herself sinking into the couch, further and further. So much for holiday relaxation.

"You seem tense", observes the airy servicewoman, a mug of hot cocoa in her hands. "I've yet to think of a decent gift idea myself."

She clenches her fists.
"They're kids, Mnemo. They're living in some kinda messed up city where they're not even allowed to have things. I'm gonna make this one hell of a gift for those two."
Children. Back in their own world, there had only ever been one in particular that anyone could have known. Yet, the idea of youth spent on someone else's whims frustrated the woman to no end.

"In a way, we're much the same, are we not? We didn't even have childhoods, but we've been training to fight for our whole lives."
Ozone shakes her head.
"There's a difference, when we came outta the tubes, we were already adults. Kids shouldn't be working, they should be playing!"
The red soldier shrugs.
"While we can't change their circumstances, do you have any plans for the gift?"

Options flitted through her mind. Toys? Books? Maybe tools?
"Something practical. Something they can actually benefit from. Anything too flashy and it'll get confiscated."

Mnemosyne takes a sip.
"Snacks are an option."
When neither of them were bakers or confectionists?
"Not enough lasting impact. Do you really want to give them something that they'll only experience once in their lives?"
A poorly chosen gift may as well be an unusual form of torture.
"Then something to protect them in our stead."
A brief moment of silence.
Ozone perks up.
"I think I've got an idea."

A quick jaunt back to Site 70 to regroup and reassess.
In a dim room, a doctor nurses a headache and multiple taxation forms.
"Nanoweaver."

Two intruders aggravate her existing headache.
She doesn't even bother to turn to look at the others.
"What? What is it, I've got a lot of things to be worrying about now."
The doctor hasn't quite been the same since this years' summer hullabaloo. Rumors abound of crimes committed on foreign shores. It was a misunderstanding, she swears!
For now, she evades the gaze of the multidimensional lawkeepers.

"We're making gifts for two kids this year, doc. Got any resources to spare? I don't think heavy machinery or power tools is gonna fly with 'em."

Ozone prods at the doctor.
"Cmon... It's for a good cause and the smiles of two kids!"

Bah humbug.
"Ask again in a few hours."


This time, it's Mnemosyne chiming in.
"It is a simple materials request. And a bit of a glance or two after we draft the blueprints for a brief project. If you were to stand trial later, your goodwill would reflect positively on your character testimony from both of us."
The geneticist sighs.

"I... yeah, I've got some things left over from my activities this summer. You'd be doing me a favor by getting rid of it."
In the corner of the room, a supply box glitters.
"But you'll have to design it yourselves. I've got a lot of spare meat to deal with before the ITO (Interdimensional Taxation Office) catches up with me."

And thus, materials had been procured. Now it was the simple act of fashioning it into something useful.

Plans are made deep into the night.
Ozone emphasises a sense of minimalism.
Mnemosyne advocated for a comforting grasp.

And the good Doctor lent her expertise to putting it together.

After a brief period of engineering... it's complete.
Perhaps it was a blessed coincidence that their colours happened to be particularly festive.

A pair of scarves, engineered with materials and technology from beyond this world.
Thermo-reactive fibers that tighten or loosen based off of temperature, making it appropriate for any weather or circumstances.
Practically indestructible.
Covert, but charming.

Even if few people are there for the two, they'll have each other.

Eager for any distraction from the doldrums of a rabbit tittering and teetering through hijinks, you open the package and within discover an impressive piece of technology: a CELLULAR PHONE. Promptly, it begins ringing in a irritating fashion, so you fumble with the soft mushy plastic buttons until managing to answer the call. "Crystal Crumpsy, we don't have much time." A mysterious voice informs you from the other end. "We need to get you out of there so that we can participate in a Clandestine Santa operation before THEY get you."

You're rather confused by all this, so you try tilting your head at a forty-five degree angle to see if it makes more sense. This barely improves your clarity. "If you don't hurry, SUGGESTORS will make your decisions for you. You need to get up from your cubicle and FOLLOW THE WHITE RABBIT." They hang up. With a shrug, you rise and follow the WHITE RABBIT emergency exit plan on the wall, trundling down thirty-seven flights of stairs.

It does culminate in being able to fulminate your cubicle farm, however -- an EXPLOSION rocking the downtown area as you make a daring escape. Afterwards, you are REMOVED FROM THE THREAD by a crew of colorful characters who explain the plot of THE MATRIX to you.

Together, you traverse another thread in a HIGH TECH VEHICLE while being pursued by TERRIBLE SQUID ROBOTS intent on preventing you from doing your holiday shopping. Despite their best efforts to waylay you, you and your new friends are able to acquire and craft a variety of gifts to be delivered less than a week after $HOLIDAY!

You are ZERO, and you have received a $HOLIDAY gift box! It is poorly wrapped and misshapen, but the gift-givers seem to have meant well at least and appear to have been through a lot to get here. Inside the lumpy box, you find a variety of objects as your PRESENTS.

First, is a KUNG FU cartridge for an old VIDEO GAME console. Inside THE MATRIX, C.C. was able to learn a wide variety martial arts with this cartridge, so your gift-givers hope that you may also be able to download remarkable fighting prowess similarly.

Second, is a $50 GIFT CARD to SPENCER GIFTS. a quirky retailer specializing in a variety of strange relics, artifacts, magic items and dubiously adult-themed party favors and games. A GIFT CARD is an excellent way to err on the tastes of your gift recipient and in no way implies reckless haste in providing a present.

Third, are a pair of festive 'ear' warmers which are, remarkably, appropriately sized to adorn yourself with. As these are not a retail-available article, it becomes clear that KAIA and ZARIN actually knit them together. Perplexingly, this presents a paradox when compared to the GIFT CARD, for gift-giving preparedness.

Finally, the entirety of the bottom of the gift box is filled with a collection of EXQUISITE BRANCHES pup-picked by C.C. herself with a high degree of confidence that you will find them to be both tasteful home decor and useful equipment for any manner of predicament or situation.

Happy Holidays, Zero!

Tineola: “What a nice lodge they’ve rented this year!”
Gail: “Oh, very! The fireplace keeps it nice and toasty, which is good because I’m pretty lukewarm-blooded myself.”
“I can barely keep myself from staring at it… but then my eye keeps getting drawn to that dragon lady made of plush fabric instead. She looks so soft and huggable!”
“I bet those two interests would go well together. So, what are you making?”
“Oh, I’m still working on my secret santa gift. …You know, it occurs to me, we’re scarcely present in our respective quests! We should have prepared some sort of introduction for ourselves so our partners would know what we like.”
“Oh, ssshoot… That would have been a good idea, wouldn’t it? Well, I’m a student in college studying archaeology. I grew up on our planet’s moon before I moved planetside for college, and I like all the arcology kid classics: books, astronomy, plastic models... Not that I’d ask for those, they can get quite expensive! What about you, Tineola?”
“I guess we both have our guilty pleasures… Oh, I’m a traveling tailor and part time adventurer, both of which go into feeding my bad habit of nibbling exotic fabrics. I’d prefer anything but clothes, please - I’d feel terrible after chewing holes in a gift. (Well, unless it was meant to be chewed on… thanks again, Eudora!)”
“Interesting. Well, I’ve got to go - I see someone waving at me over by the couch, I think my gift’s already here! Good luck, Tina!”

Ortessus: Nacha Cone-Joe? Sounds like a notor-xingastian space trucker. But I’ve done my research and meticulously worked on my secret gift throughout the better half of the season.

Ortessus: Call it a hobby of mine--but I offer a most tempting gift.

Ortessus: You have a button.

Ortessus: You may choose to press the button at your leisure. You can only press it once--for it is one-use only. Multiple presses in succession grant nothing greater.

Ortessus: But prepare for the consequences that follow--for it would be fabricated by your hand, and mine will remain clean. I only supply the tools as a clerk would innocently sell a hammer.

Ortessus: It’s up to you now. I’ll be a comfortable distance away and enjoy my time on the balcony sipping a nice cold mug of root beer.

Dansha: “Me.. Mne-mo-syn…. And O-zone. Yeah, those names are definitely out there.”

Peachy: “Keep reading!”

Dansha: “Right. Uuhh.. Mne-mo-syn is… a soldier created artificially to fight a grand war, now concluded. She was created out of the essence and memories of ancient heroes… What?”

Dansha: “Uhhm, she is highly professional and reserved, but loves sports when not on duty. She also has…. Wind powers? Says here she can control wind currents to create big gusts of wind that she uses to throw off her enemies and… *snrk* make her weapons float in the air and shoot without having to hold them. Pfft! And she likes both ranged and melee combat.”

Peachy: “What’s melee again?”

Spots: “The opposite of ranged.”

Dansha: “Mano a mano, yeah.”

Peachy: “Uuuh...Hey, what about Oz-on?”

Dansha: “O-zone is… also a soldier made for the war. Uhm.. from different heroes than Mne-mo-syn. She’s also pretty professional, as well as abrasive, but she likes her fellow superior officers and is good friends with them.”

Spots: “Sounds kind of like the sticklers here.”
Dansha: “Mmhm. Anyway, she prefers subterfuge and uses lots of traps and contraptions and… ‘big guns’, whatever that might be…. Oh! Says here, it’s weapons that shoot metal pellets with gunpowder!”

Peachy: “Oh, yeah! Gunpowder!”

Spots: “For clearing tunnels, right?”

Dansha: “For clearing tunnels, yeah…. O-zone also uses other guns, of different kinds. From ones that spew poison gas to.. flamethrowers?!”

Peachy: “No way!”

Spots: “That sounds awesome! You sure we can’t just invite her over?”

Peachy: “Nah, your neighbor doesn’t draw that good.”

Spots: “He is not dumb enough to cross someone who lives next door to him again, either.”

Dansha: “Then who made this?!”

Peachy: “I told you, it was given to me in the magic mushroom cave!”

Dansha: “You mean the one with the fluorescent toadstools? In those dingy tunnels you always visit?”

Peachy: “Yeah, those!”

Dansha: “And there is someone there coming up with these characters and showing them to people?”

Peachy: “No! It was the mighty mystic mushroom! He came to me in a vision and invited me to take part in a grand gift swap, where one gives gifts to someone secret and receives gifts from someone else in turn. When I woke up from the vison, this letter was next to me.”

Dansha: “…..Peachy, I told you not to eat the toadstools again.”

Peachy: ”Hey, I’m perfectly fine AND I got a gift invitation!”

Dansha: “And you; why are you going through with this? You can’t possibly believe her!”

Spots: “I mean, I… kinda do? Somebody wrote that letter and I don’t think I would be able to convince Peachy not to go along with it if I tried.”

Peachy: “No, you wouldn’t!“

Spots: “Besides, she really insists she got this from someone mystic and that she’s done this before, and she’s never pranked me before.”

Peachy: “No, I haven’t!”

Spots: I’ll send you flying out of the mountain if you ever do, though.”

Peachy: “No, you won’t!”

Dansha: “You guys are duller than the whole rockface, you know that?”

Peachy: “Sure, whatever you say… Hey, does the letter say anything else about these two?”

Dansha: “Hmm… not much, just that they are living on a military base- Sorry, a secret military base- doing routine drills and training the last new soldiers, and that one is a problem girl that gives them headaches. Can relate.”

Peachy: “Hey, there, O-zone! I heard you like carrying big guns and all sorts of crafty doohickeys, so I made a big crafty cannon, like the ones folks talk about when telling tales from abroad, just for you!”

“Its ammunition is made of broken tools and training spears that’ve been thrown away and picked up over time. Many of them are kinda dulled, but they’ll probably hurt a lot when you shoot them at your enemies!”

Spots: “I helped make the cannon!”

Peachy: “Oh, yeah. Spots helped me lay down the brick work for your cannon. She’s learning how to work in construction and is really good at putting blocks and concrete together!”

Spots: “Mmhm!”

Dear Gurial Gamel Soul,

Pleased to make your acquaintance! My name is Ssus Ssus. Budding salikai scientist and your assigned Secret Santa.

I notice on your info sheet that you loved both pranks and money. A very relatable taste, I’m quite certain. So much so that I decided to bring a gift that caters to both, in the form of a zeny nano-replicant gun.

This device was designed and employed by a powerful group of counterfeiters, in order to both perfect their trade and create a deadly weapon to defend themselves against authorities. Unfortunately for them, they only managed to create a single working prototype before their operation went awry and I managed to procure it from among the evidence piled up outside their main base.

Each shot fires a set of self-replicating nano-machines that turn everything in a twelve inch radius of the hit area into seamless, randomly-serialized coins worth one zeny each, which is the main official currency employed all across known space within the Milky Way Galaxy.

It’s perfect for both breaking your buddies’ painstakingly-made house of cards and start a get-rich-quick scheme in the process. Just please, don’t point it towards any person or creature, living or dead. That would be extremely irresponsible and potentially horrifying.

I wish you some very merry festivities and some cheeky, yet ultimately harmless, adventures to come!

Happy holidays, Gurial.


And a very Merry Three Kings Day to you, Derklord. I hope you are having some truly splendid holidays!

Dear Misses Autumn and Apricot,

I am deeply obliged by your heartfelt holiday gift. I can scarcely believe the interest and effort you put into my project!

I found your trash to be of the highest quality, and has already contributed greatly to my research.

I’m happy to say that with it, I have been able to formulate and fully develop my first batch of autonomous, multi-cellular trash fauna!

These “dumplings”, as I have designated them, are able to feed off of base refuse and common garbage, and have the potential to self-replicate through budding upon reaching their mature stage, making them the ideal bottom-feeders to form the basis for the next stage of my ecosystem. A sad role to be sure, given their docility and sociable behaviour, but a real ecosystem cannot exist without a fully-fledged food chain.

Thank you both once again for this wonderful present and for your passionate commitment to my work.

May all your endeavours come to fruition and are just as lovingly supported!

Happy Holidays,

Ssus Ssus.



Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Donut, thank you so much for this and your many other gifts throughout the year!

“Why are you so quick to trust this weird magic, gremlin robot thing? For all I know this thing could be from my competitor Feena’s Funa Brothel, and I know that Feena has always held a grudge over the popularity of our bots brothel, besides Mike…. Who knows where that lever has been….. I shiver just thinking about it.”
Mike looks appropriately defensive, which serves him right from getting cock-blocked from life’s greatest pleasure, or is the term just blocked? Either way, Mike’s talking now!
“Why are you so curious about this little guy? I mean, true he might also be a murder-loving sex robot, but I’m sure it’ll be fine! Booty had probably killed me more times than this little scamp ever could.”
“What.”
“Oh right, huh. I guess I never told you about that, anyway whose to say where or where that lever’s been, who knows maybe It would….. Enjoy it……”
“Okay, but before you pull that thing, maybe describe what it does? Or what might happen?”
“Okay, okay…” I see Mike get down to my level, talking to me in what seems to be some kind of baby talk. “Hey, little guy, may you ask us what will happen if we pull that lever?”
“Oh, well…. I can’t say exactly what you know, my magic being completely random, but I assure you it’s something completely great and will not backfire!”

“However, if it does backfire..I won’t be responsible for you…. Suddenly losing your clothes and getting all naked, you being set on fire, your insides becoming outsides, nothing happens, I explode, you get transformed into a marketable plushie, you get sprayed with water, you getting someone else's gift instead, you and Boudica switching bodies or voices, you switching sex, the rapture beginning, your forced to 100% Fear and Hunger, and Fear and Hunger Termina, I end up transforming into an evil sex robot, I learn of all of your sins, and all of your mistakes, Your form getting shifted in some sort of way, You transform into money, I kill Santa, and much, much more!”

Those two seem to be gazing dumbfounded obviously basking in the beauty of what can happen when I backfire.
“But... it’s most likely just going to do something lame and really boring, like give you what you wish most, drop you in a fantasy dimension where you can live out your greatest fantasies, or give you a puppy. I hate the puppy choice.”
Mike expectantly looks at Boudica, who looks to me, and after a while, sighs, “Fine…” Mike makes a joyous human noise while Boudica and her large mounds approach me. “But NO funny businesses out of you, okay?” I look at her and sense a warmth in my heart that I’ve never felt before. “Yes, mommy.” She immediately recoils back and begins to clench her fist, but she looks at Mike and lowers her aggressive demeanor.

Meanwhile, I see Mike as Happy as he can be reaching towards my lever…

Whew, Glad to be out of Derklord’s mind after a while; now, let’s see who's on my list…. hm……
Well, what do you give a bird and a fairy? Something funny, but what…..
Well, I could go into their minds and learn every little aspect about them, and I would also know what places they appear in Lazy Fairy except for POV 7, but nah, let’s do it old school.

For the bird, I’ll include a cat; how about a small little kitty cat with an orange bell, whose coat is a mixture of a tiger with a light brown coat and some brown eyes? She’ll be playful, but she’ll hold an obnoxious truth. She’ll meow in the middle of the night at 11:00 a.m. mwyahahahahahaahhah.

For the Fairy, I’ll give her a sword, not just any sword, but a sword that A fairy can use. It might not be practical, but hey, it’ll work. This also holds a secret, and those who hold this sword summon a more petite fairy by their side that’s the embodiment of RPG Fairy tropes, mwhahahahahahaha

I love being a personification of fear, especially when no one will ever know it’s me. I can be mildly disruptive and laugh evilly without being called an old-time trope! Mwhahahahahahahahha!

Okay, that’s enough laughing. Hmm…. Something’s missing. Oh, I know something perfect! It's a book complete with every single NSFW image Of Autumn that Donut has created hahahahaahhahaahahaha

Okay, much better! Now, all it needs is a note! Oooh, I thought of something perfect.

Perfect. Now, just tie it all together, make sure there are breathing holes for the cat, put on the bow, put it under the tree stealthily, make sure they don’t see it’s me,

find a stealthy spot, and wait to see their reaction. This is going to be great.

Happy Belated Christmas Donut! (Sorry for the bad art), And sorry that Autumn and Apricot got paired with the one character that wants to ruin their Christmas

tippler immediately decides tragedy should strike and Mike is transformed into a rooster. Roosters are intelligent creatures who feel pain, but sadly do not have the capacity to maintain a human personality. Mike has essentially perished.

The relief is so great that Boudica becomes Catholic. It is a merry Christmas indeed.

Hello, Mr. Spikey! I hope interstellar shipping delivers this in time... I’ve brought you a gift from my hometown: A genuine moon rock! There’s nothing quite like resting your head on a nice toasty heat rock that’s been under the heat lamp. It’s pretty easy to get these when you live on the moon, but not everybody makes the journey all the way out there, so that’s what makes it special!
…Oh, and I’ve included some freeze dried ice cream too. Just in case you’re not as into rocks as I am.
Merry (belated) Christmas!
-Gail

Hello, miss… Ridiculously huge… Hello miss Dragon Sorceress!
After, eheh, a very intense gift selection process, I have found a treasure from my personal collection that I believe will be quite fitting for yours! This gem is called the Dragon’s Heart. Supposedly it’s made of an actual dragon’s heart that petrified, according to the cursed item seller I got it from. Anyway, when you have this gem, hoarding stuff makes you bigger and stronger! …Being poor does the opposite. It also makes spellcasters prone to spontaneous spellcasting, not that I’d have any personal experience with that. But hey, you’re just spending magical power the heart gave you, so not much of a downside, right? Live large and prosper, miss RHBDS! Happy holidays!
You received: the Dragon Heart! (Magic item, very rare, slightly drippy, requires attunement.)

That was an exciting holiday retreat, wasn’t it? It seems I overstayed well into the summer! But I’m here to compensate any last-minute gifts that never arrived for the giftees.

It happens, doesn’t it Dama? And that’s okay, we’ve got everyone covered.

For the gentle moth, Tineola. It was fun having you in the village last year! You were quite popular with the outfitters and couturiers too. You were all they ever talked about!

I’ve been cleaning my attic, digging around Vikta’s stuff during his weird phase where he’d engage in online writing games with his virtual friends. Seems he had ordered a 5-Piece Lamp Set of some character. So here! With it includes: Left Arm of The Rogue One, Right Arm of The Rogue One, Left Leg of The Rogue One, Right Leg of The Rogue One, and Mac the Rogue One.

Don’t worry about keeping it! Vikta always denies ever owning this.

Ortessus! You look so bulky in your suit. Don’t you have anything else to wear during your R&R? It’s still good to see you!

I believe we have some fireworks left from one of our earlier holidays. It was raining that day so we couldn’t use them effectively. But I’m sure you’d find a use out of them!

Although I could use them for the next year... Naaaah you can have them! ♥

Anthony the Artist, eh? You know, I’m something of an artist myself!

Anyhoo! Because my husband draws in many customers around the world, plenty small family businesses sell trinkets through his gift shop. I found this cute set of Precious Moments Figurines on display and I bought a 12-piece set!

Awe look, that one is peeling potatoes! How precious indeed~

And I think that covers everyone! I hope to see you all back next year!
