Hello! First of all, Maurice would like me to tell you all that he's locking anyone who messes about with putting dangerous things in the mailbox to send to him which don't belong for at least a week (please don't send him dangerous things!!!!) and would like me to remind you it's for things you got sent only, please! Secondly, we've managed to fix one of the colors entirely, although one is still on the fritz. We'll keep working on it! By the way, is anyone going to do secret Santa games? I always like those, although I've only ever done them with other employees. Last year I got Ronnie. He's soooo hard to shop for but I think he liked the cane I got him? And Mr. Baroque got me! I'm not really sure he knows how to shop for girls. Or people who don't only want weapons. But the thought is what counts!

Blue coming back is going to make Christmas shopping much easier

I wouldn't mind doing Secret Santa I can't remember the last time I did it.

Man Christmas is already here I got to get my gift list together

[As if he's not trying to figure out what to make for Thanksgiving.]

[destiny_key]

i wonder if we could do like
a retrospec secret santa!!!

[cheetahsenpai]

that sounds like it would be pretty fun!

it might be a little hard trying to find a gift for someone but i guess that's the point!

i wonder how could you organize something like that?

[destiny_key]

the point is that you got someone a gift to show you care!!!
who cares what it is as long as you tried

but hmmm
a lot of people organize things over the network???
so i guess i could ask for sign ups
and send them to people
i think itd be really neat!!!

[cheetahsenpai]

oh yeah that's true
it's always nice to give someone a gift
it would be nice to get a gift too!

that sounds like a good idea
if you happen to get sign ups started i'll put my name on the list!
this does sound like a good way to celebrate

[especially after all the craziness from the previous months.]

[destiny_key]

i dont really care if people give me stuff
i have lots of stuff
and i get stuff from my mom and from santa
id rather give presents to other people and make them happy

like its not that i dont appreciate when people give me presents!!!
because i do!!!
i like getting presents but i dont mind if someone cant

ill definitely let you know if i do a secret santa though lol

[cheetahsenpai]

that's a really nice thing to do
i do like giving gifts that i never notice when someone gives me one
do you write a letter to santa?


yeah i would never push someone to give me a gift
if they can't it's fine
the thought is nice

lol thanks!

[destiny_key]

kinda!!!
i always did when i was a kid
now its more like just a short list lol

i dont really have much that i want
and i like surprises

[cheetahsenpai]

haha i did the same thing when I was a kid
i had a really long list of all the things i wanted
now i can't think of anything or the list is super short

surprises are fun

Blue coming back completely means my wardrobe and my eyes are both back to normal.

But maybe wait until the turkey coma before you start thinking about Secret Santa?
It feels like we're starting holidays before other ones are over earlier and earlier...

[cheetahsenpai]

it will feel good to be able to wear blue again
that's right you're eyes are blue
it will be nice to have that back to normal too

it does feel like that doesn't it?
every time i go to get things for Halloween there's already Christmas stuff around
can Thanksgiving get here first?
i can worry about gifts later

[undergrowl]

It's been a lot better, to be honest.
I didn't realize how big it was in my life until it was just
gone.

Gifts are a lot to deal with in general.
I know a lot of people try shopping all throughout the year, though.
Like Christmas is barely over and they're already planning for next Christmas.

[cheetahsenpai]

me either i knew blue was important, but to have it back shows how much it's in everything
i'm glad it's back though

I try to spread out my gifts but I end up forgetting half way through the year
Then next thing I know it's Christmas again and I have to shop
Christmas isn't here yet though there are plans for next Christmas
I'm trying to make sure I get everything for this year
The commercials start to get annoying though

are you doing the last stretch for ac too Sunny

[undergrowl]

Now we just need green back.
And for the fruits to be completely not weird?

Going shopping for literally anything that isn't a Christmas present makes Christmas annoying.
And it's unfortunate because it's a good holiday outside of the commercialism.
But here we are, feeding into it anyways.
I say we should wait for the food comas, but I'm already trying to find presents.

yes *sobs* i thought i did more but i didn't

[cheetahsenpai]

i'm looking forward to green again
i can't believe i'm saying that but it's true

It is, I can barely shop for anything now without trying to avoid some sale or rude shoppers
I don't know why people have to push and shove the things are going to be right there
I do actually like Christmas
I'm able to stay home and spend time with my family that's always nice
I'm already looking for presents too
But with the shops all turned around at the Tower it makes shopping a little annoying

I will boomerang the shit out of you fam

[undergrowl]

It's just been so weird.
You'd think they'd at least replace it with some other, weird color.
That seems right up their alley.

We used to spend Christmas in France with my mother's parents, and it was a lot less
This? Too much?
Whatever Christmas in the States is, to be honest. Everyone has their heads up their asses.
It's exhausting. And Recollé's shopping is even more exhausting than what it's been literally anywhere else in the country, for some reason.

bless you <3

[cheetahsenpai]

right? you would think that would happen but it didn't
i thought that would happen
i did expect to see something weird

that sounds nice actually
how was it like to celebrate in France?
if it sounds like it was calmer i am for it

celebrating Christmas here in Recolle is always a lot
my mom loves to decorate and my grandpa like the food
but everything else has been so much lately

i tried going to the Tower for a pair of gloves when the stores were full of people
some of them were shoving it was hard not to shove back

what do you do for Christmas here?

bless YOU I have it finally

[undergrowl]

After being shrunken, and the monsters, you would think that that would be their plan.
Weird colored things.
But instead they just. Took them.

My grandparents live in Brittany, after moving there from Paris, so it's a cooler climate.
But there are a lot of festivals, and a *lot* of food. Literally everything for Noel has to do with food, come to think of it.
But it's still less chaotic than all of this.

Since both of my parents travel a lot for work, and I'm here by myself for the most part, I haven't got much planned for Christmas this year.
I'm not sure when my parents' trips are going to be over with, so I've been holding off on doing too much planning.
Shopping is completely out of the question, though. Because my patience would be too thin.

There'd be a lot of shoving.

hooray! happy to help ^_^

[cheetahsenpai]

I think them taking it away is pretty weird
I still get excited to see a blue sky and no monsters
No monsters is always good

Really? I think I would like to spend Christmas that way
I've always been interested in how other places celebrate Christmas and the foods they serve too
I'm more interested now that I want to really pursue cooking

Really? They do?
Hey if you want you can join us for Christmas?
Or some time before your family comes back?
We have enough room and we're going to be making a lot of things so you can come over if you want
Consider it an open invitation!

Why does blue make shopping easier?

[cheetahsenpai]

i can buy something new for my closest
we didn't have blue for awhile so i thought i had imagined it

[floret]

Are your friends big fans of the color blue?

[cheetahsenpai]

Hmm, I can't talk for all my friends, but I know one that loves all colors. Another I think he'll like if I get him something blue cause it will match his eyes. His eyes returned to their normal color when the color came back.

[floret]

Oh, that makes sense!
I hope you're able to find something that's a perfect match for your friend's eyes!
