Repose

[By request, and saved by a benefactor, all that's delivered to Sue is an envelope containing two cards. One it a horridly bright, tacky Christmas card that reads 'Merry Christmas and Best Wishes!' but inside is an actual gift card for 6 large to the nearest retailer of Tom Ford. Hope it works for you, Sue.]

[The stuff arrives in individually wrapped paper that looks to be handpainted with watercolors in crazy-mad swirls. There's a game, there's some mugs, there's a shirt, there's a book, there's a poster, there's an incense burner, there's a wonder, and there's a speaker with a little game installed.

The final item comes in an envelope, and it contains an experience for two. The note inside is written in calligraphy of alternating colors, and it says, "Get turnt, baby!"]

[No presents from her this year, but she can at least send messages on the forum. All the same, but each is locked separately (except Sam and Cris, which is locked to both of them).]

[Individual Locks to: Patrick, Destiny, Dahlia, Aedan, Sam/Cris, Daniel, Jude, ...and Seven]

Merry Christmas. And Happy New Year.
-Marta (Sunshine)

[Beginning December 24th, the Repose post office is making daily holiday deliveries, per town tradition. Any presents dropped off there are dolled up in holiday regalia - silk bows, colorful wrapping paper, festive gift tags, packing tape spangled with dreidels, twinkling lights and tinsel, candy canes. Gifts are left at the doors of residences and workplaces by postal workers wearing non-government approved santa hats, and they hand out pieces of candy and holiday well-wishes with their packages.

For those who wish to send presents in the spirit of the holiday, but may not know the name of the person they wish to send a gift to, the post office has erected a massive giving tree in their lobby. The star on top is tipped slightly askew, crushed a little against the ceiling due to the height of the tree. The tree is very real, cut from the woods nearby. It fills the post office with the scent of pine, and has been decked out in tiny white lights and massive, colorful glass bulbs. Gifts for anyone may be left underneath, and will make it successfully to their intended recipient, even if no tag is attached.]

[The box arrives wrapped with several small presents inside. One pair of flannel pajamas, as promised. Yes, the stars and trim glow in the dark. And then there is also the Cat's pajamas, which do not glow, but are in Cat's size. Both are soft brushed flannel in that delicious 70/30 cotton/cashmere blend.

A typed note is taped on an awkwardly wrapped present: Some gifts that can't be resold for profit. Suck it. From one Slytherin to another. -Santa Inside is a keychain, and a journal. Because who would want to buy those?

And, lastly, in a slim wooden box, a pair of vicuña socks. Carefully placed inside is another typed note, short and to the point: You still have time to change your mind about cake.]
