Most people didn't ask the question expecting a life story detailing why any specific person was not in fact good. It must be an American thing, where people just expected a nod and then move on. Phobia gave the answer as dismissively as expected and Alec accepted it with a smile. "To be honest, for sanity, nothing remotely Christmas oriented. You can't exactly go big here, or stupid here, kinda limits gift options," said the boy who hadn't purchased a gift for anyone in his life. "He probably just wants your company while he watches It's a Wonderful Life." Alec had never watched that movie, but he thought he saw something about it playing a lot during the Christmas season because it was a classic or something. He didn't know, but he still felt like this was very sound advice. People loved company, your time is the best gift you can give etc etc.
