Day 4 - VOICE

[exceptfebruary]

Thursday's child has far to go. [ Only Calendar Man could make such a statement sound like a threat. Far to go to forget the past three days. At least he hadn't broken theme, there was that. He moves on quickly, and takes on a softer tone. ]

Today marks the beginning of December. World Aids Day, if you are keeping track of the holidays. There are quite a few in December. Ashura. Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. Human Rights Day. The Winter Solstice. Saturnalia. Hanukkah. Christmas. Kwanzaa. New Year's Eve. More. I'm sure some of the visitors to this world have brought their own unique celebrations.

It is a time for gift giving, City. Do you plan on celebrating something this month?

Comments

[culver]

Yes I am making presents this year.

[exceptfebruary]

I was planning something similar. Will you have to make many presents?

[culver]

I do not know I have not counted yet.

[exceptfebruary]

You should start planning. Put the best of your efforts into it.

[culver]

Yes I will do that. I think I will knit things.

[exceptfebruary]

Whoever they are for, they are lucky to receive them.

Will you be celebrating in other ways as well?

[culver]

Would you like one?

I do not know I do not have any family here.

[exceptfebruary]

[ A pause between texts. He is genuinely surprised at her offer.]

I won't say no.

A common problem. But you must have friends.

[culver]

[look man she hasn't seen you do anything bad, you must be nice]

Okay. What would you like?

Yes I do. I think I will just start making things and give them away when I finish.

[exceptfebruary]

Whatever you are inclined to come up with. I am certain I will appreciate it.

I think it would be better to save them for Christmas Day. Or at least wrap them so they can open them on the 25th.

[culver]

Okay.

Oh yes wrapping is a good idea. I will have to find paper ad ribbon then.

[exceptfebruary]

If I may make a suggestion. White wrapping with red ribbon, or red wrapping with white ribbon. Those would be nice colors, don't you think?

[culver]

Yes those colors sound nice. I think I will do both.

[exceptfebruary]

I wish you luck and a happy holiday.

[culver]

Thank you. The same to you.
