I'm sorry for not having a proper gift for you this Christmas. You know how I am, I wait until the last Hogsmeade weekend before Christmas to shop for anyone, and this year, it seems to have been a bad choice to not shop early.
I hope you forgive me for a lack of present for you, and you'll accept my help in any area needed as a replacement. Just let me know what I can help with (as long as it's legal, and you don't want me to do something dangerous), and when you would like the task completed.
I'm sorry it's not a proper gift, as I said, but I hope you have a good Christmas anyway.

Happy Christmas, love. I'm sorry I don't have a gift for you, but I hope spending the day together will make up for it.
I can't ask the elves to make a special meal for us, as per the Headmaster's request, but I think spending the day together would be just as special. Feel free to slip in at any time. Teddy and I'll be here waiting for you.
