Kirsmas.


On the Christmas morning, he wakes up earlier than usual, too excited and thrilled for the upcoming day to stay in bed even one minute longer.
He dresses up by himself, indeed wearing his old Earth clothes and choosing a red sweater for the day, before heading out of the bedroom, careful not to wake anyone.

As he enters the living room of the residence, he glances at his tree (all the children's trees were placed away from each others to avoid confusion with the gifts) and notices that there are many gifts underneath. He is not used to see those many, in the previous years it was just himself and Chan to celebrate it, so there usually was just one gift.
He approaches to give a closer look at the piles of packages and his gaze is caught by something particular: a cor lapis in the shape of the Geo symbol (he doesn't know what the material is), on top of a specific tower of packages, which are wrapped in gold coloured silk cloths. He takes the mysterious item and looks at it with wide eyes, then glances at the gifts and at his vision. He immediately makes an assumption about the meaning of that.

Instead of opening the gifts right away, he sits down by the tree, with his fluffy tail wrapped around his body, waiting for Zhongli to come and give permission to open the gifts first.

Of course, as soon as LeYang arrives, he rushes to his tree and starts to open all the gifts without even noticing that he too has a mysterious pile of packages wrapped differently and with a geo gem on top. There is one by Chao's tree too.

When receiving confirmation that he can open the gifts, WooPil is shocked to find out that the strange packages contain (3 per each kid) all the toys that he had initially chosen and taken with him, at the toy store, but that he eventually decided to put back when he saw one that he found more of his liking, until his final choice fell on the fox plush. This, naturally, enforces his theory even further.

The day proceeds happily, with lots of food and the family gathered together to enjoy some quality time. Chan, Cyno and the children with Zhongli.
Jing Yuan with his own family.
Blade, HaiTien and WonPil with LianSul and SulBang.
Elton… with alcohol and drugs until he would start to see his father and siblings to have a meal he cooked with them.

MORAX Chao definitely started opening his gifts right away unless someone told him to wait. He definitely ended up breaking some by accident while clumsily trying to open them to see. Most of his toys in general end up getting broken in no time, but at least he doesn't complain for new ones.

He joins the children opening gifts right away, wanting to see their faces.
He has a really good time with everyone, plus makes sure to leave a lot of free time to servants after they help their meal, other than monetary gifts to them all.
He gives his gifts to his friends too and makes sure to spend time even with them.

Blade is mostly like the Grinch, but he really enjoys his time with Haitien and WonPil. He is surprised they even brought him gifts. His own gifts are lame as fuck, but at least he tried.

Kafka spends time on her own, mostly pondering what to do about the fruit. She doesn't feel she can fully trust Jing Yuan's words.
