   ❝Wonderful.❞ Rosemary pours two glasses of tea before returning to them. ❝I’m not much of a coffee drinker, but I love tea.❞

   “I’m more of a coffee drinker – but I do enjoy tea as well. So I’m pretty open to drinking pretty much anything that tastes decent to me.”

  “I’d be glad to share some of the gingerbread with you.”

    After opening up the tin, she hands it over to them. ❝Would you like some tea to go with it?❞

   Saima takes some gingerbread out of the tin, happy to partake in the fruits of their labor. “Some tea to go with this would be perfect, thanks.”

traumeriin:

   ❝I love gingerbread.❞ Before she accepts the treats, she hands them a navy blue scarf she made. ❝Merry Christmas!❞ 

  The offer of the navy blue scarf makes Saima smile as they immediately drape it around themselves. “How lovely – this is really nice. Merry Christmas!”

traumeriin:

  ❝Well, speaking of gifts…I have a lil’ something special for you as well.❞

  “Oh please, I’m incredibly flattered that you got me anything. I do have a tin of gingerbread for you if you’d like it.”

  ❝Not at all. I mean, Aristotle may not like to wait but he knows he has to. Dahlia really just doesn’t get it though. If I look away for even a second I’ll see her trying to unwrap something!❞

   “Hah. Seems like you have to really be on your game around her. I guess it’ll make things even more fun when she finally does get to open her gifts.”

@seekesotsibteadmist liked this for a starter.

  ❝Gosh, it seems so quiet now…❞ Rosemary leans back into the couch and then sighs. ❝Dahlia was throwing a big fit earlier because I told her she couldn’t open her presents. It’s hard to explain Christmas traditions a one year old.❞

   “Talk about a sudden change in mood.” They listen in sympathy for what Rosemary had to deal with. “At least things seemed to have settled down a bit.Heh – yeah they’re not at an age to get anything outside of wanting their gifts.”

traumeriin:

 ❝Definitely! It’s wonderful. I just feel like everyone is more happy around the holidays.❞

  “I feel like that as well. Something about this time of year that lends itself to a lot of communal activities and togetherness.”
