Hey, so...do you think Santa will be able to find us all here on Christmas Eve? Maybe we should build a signal for him or something. You know, like up on the rooftops. There could be a landing strip for the reindeer, or maybe like a big Santa-hat spotlight. Or both. Or we could get flares. Do they have flares around here? Maybe we should get flares.

Only eighteen more days until Christmas Eve! YOU BETTER WATCH OUT.

[...Uh-oh. Consider her thought process derailed as this new argument brings a different concern to her attention.]

What if Santa doesn't come on Christmas Eve in parallel dimensions? His itinerary is to hit all of the back-home world on Christmas Eve night. What if we get pushed to the end of the list?

[ardent]

[...Hmmmmm.]

He'd still have to deliver to the locals, right?

[nostabbing]

Right. But maybe Christmas doesn't happen on Christmas here. Maybe it happens on the twenty-sixth.

[...]

Or New Year's.

[ardent]

Christmas can't happen on New Year's! That would be complete chaos! Defying the proper order! And besides, what would we even call it?

[nostabbing]

But there are people here who don't even know what Christmas is! Maybe they do call it something else!

Maybe there's only Newyearsmas here.

[ardent]

Most of the people who don't know what Christmas is seem to be other foreigners, though! Do the locals know what it is?

[nostabbing]

[... :|a ]

I didn't ask.

[ardent]

[... :|a ]

Maybe we should look into that.

[nostabbing]

You mean like go talk to people?

[ardent]

That would probably make the most sense, wouldn't it?

[nostabbing]

Maybe I can ask them while I'm getting the lights and tinsel and stuff.

Oh, and hey, we need to go punch down a tree, too. Maybe next week sometime.

[ardent]

...I'm pretty sure you can't just punch down a tree, aneki!

[nostabbing]

Eliot does. He always comes with us to get the tree and complains about it the whole time and then ends up with phone numbers from five or six single moms who are getting trees with their kids.

[ardent]

Well, yes, but by punching it?

[nostabbing]

...Maybe he karate-chops it.

[ardent]

...We're bringing kyoudai when we go to get the tree.

[nostabbing]

Can we go next week? Is that okay?

[ardent]

That would be fine!

[nostabbing]

Great! I'll wear my scarves.

[ c: ]

Or you can borrow the red one if you need one. And I got you a hat.

[ardent]

I have enough, I think; I should be all right - you can wear them!

...Though now I'm wondering what kind of hat you're talking about.

[nostabbing]

Hang on, I'll take a picture.

[................]

Why?

[nostabbing]

To keep your head warm.

[ardent]

It's a bit much, though.

[nostabbing]

No, no, you don't have to pay anything for it. It's free.
