I know I'll be seeing you soon enough for holiday celebrations, but I wanted to say "Merry Christmas, I love you!" to you over the journal too.

[Because she left one of his presents hanging on his doorknob. This one is a simple present, and is this -- an ornament meant to look like a cup of hot chocolate, and she made it out of cardboard, and tissue on the top. Yes, she can be creative. Also she might have sprinkled a bit of actual cinnamon on it. By "might have", that is an "absolutely did".]

Merry Christmas!

[He sounds genuinely thrilled. He's been looking forward to this all month, getting to spend Christmas with her.]

Wait, wait, wait, I'll look now. Hang on!

[There's rustling as he hops off his bed and tromps to the door, the creak of the hinges, and then a delighted laugh.]

Whoa. This is so cool! You made this?

[saviourswan]

I tried to, anyway! [She confirms.] I thought you could put it on a tree. Or even hang it somewhere else -- whatever works for you. [The smile is obvious in her voice.]

What do you mean? It definitely has to go on a tree. It's not Christmas unless there's a tree, and it's not a Christmas tree unless it has an ornament!
