FOUR // This tree is too small for climbing.

[wavewalker]

There's a tree in the house. Why is there a tree in the house?

Some sort of holiday, I assume, but I'm pretty certain that none of the holidays of this world are like the holidays of my own. I've tried my hardest to figure out what this particular one means, based on the decorations alone, but so far my best guess is that we're to give gifts to some kind of... tree spirit. Why else leave gifts beneath a tree, right?

Mm, I doubt that's the case, though.

Could someone explain what's really going on? Please?

It's only the best part about being in this dumb town!

[Wasn't he saying that about Halloween a few months ago?]

. . . Except for when the presents are filled with body parts, of course.

... The presents are filled with what?

Sorry for late. =(

[prodigious-mage.livejournal.com]

Not usually. Only when it happens in the middle of summer.

[Palom is the best explainer.]

It's cool!

... You've lost me.

I am the worst, sorry. =( Hiatus now . . .

Yeah.

It happened once in the middle of summer and the Milkman put all of these body parts into the presents. It was gross.
