[ Mari's leaving a video message that starts first with nothing but her smiling teeth in the frame. ]

Maaaaaaa~~~~aaaaable! It's Mari! I'm just calling to check on you and your brother!

Did your eggs hatch?

[Wherever Mabel is on the 23rd, an official Mail Pidgey manages to find her to drop off a small package.

Inside the package is a Friend Ball, and a handwritten note. The writing is in all caps, is kind of chicken-scratchy, and reads:]

THANKS FOR GUESSING! HERE'S YOUR PRIZE!

-KRIEG

[Your twin is apparently excited because he's running over to wherever you are this morning. Holding a...map?]

Mabel! Look at this!

[Enjoy the nosy Togepi bouncing in Sasha's lap, trying to see what's on the 'gear screen. All anyone can see if the top of his spiky little head.]

Mabel, where are you right now?

[ Heather mentioned that someone once sent her a pokemon in a box. That person was an asshole, or at least the pokemon was.

Annie is partly an asshole, but also, she hasn't used the PC to transfer anything, and figures half of the appeal of a present is actually opening something. If she finds that fun? Then Mabel likely finds it fun.

Thus she gets a Pidgey Post delivery, a plain box with a letter and a bundled pokeball inside. There's also a few pokebeans, because she feels those travel better, for no real provable reason.

The letter is short and to the point: ]

Mabel,

Thank you for the baked treats. I had a few, sent some on to Sasha. Found this pokemon in the burned tower in Ecruteak City. Crawled into my pack when I left it near the entrance. Ate all my food. Passed out and woke up chittering and looking for more. Now it's yours.

Mabel? It's Bertolt.

I
was wondering if I could get your help with something in preparation for next month because of the holiday, and you're the only one I can come to and trust to keep it a secret.

Hello Mabel,

Hope all is well. Here's some excess candy from Lute's exploits yesterday.

I've been told people celebrate gift giving holidays in the winter months here. I wanted to request no gifts be given to me related to that, thank you.

Enjoy the sugar,
Annie

[ and there is indeed a nice amount of candy that's been included! ]

[HEY GUESS WHO WAS A BIG SULKY SULKPANTS FOR A LITTLE and is now aggressively reminding himself that he has already learned this lesson once and needs to like. Actually reach out to the people he loves for support and companionship? This guy! So here he is, because boy howdy there's nothing to combat the worry that everybody he cares about is going to disappear like talking to them and reconfirming they're still around.

Not that he can say any of that out loud or anything. Haha.]

Mabel! It occurred to me that it's been a while since we spoke last. Have you been well? Gotten into any interesting trouble?

[She wouldn't be a Pines if she hadn't done something at least a little illegal since they last talked.]

Mabel, what would be a good gift for your brother? I have a delibird following me around demanding I fill a box with something for him and I know nothing about him.

[Wherever Mabel is on the 25th, there's a Fed-Exeggcute package waiting for her with with a Four Island return address under the name Sasha Braus. It's quite a sizable box because inside there's a sticker making machine and a set of five refills because Sasha knows her BFF and one refill is never enough.]

A pair of pidgey will find Mabel wherever she is on Christmas morning, one with gifts for her, the other with gifts for that nerd brother of hers.

To Mabel

I hope you'll like these. I saw them and they looked perfect for you. ~~please don't hit on me anymore~~

Yours sincerely,
Armin

Mabel will find two gifts coming her way. The first turns out to be a set of brightly-coloured crochet hooks, while the second is a book. But not just any books. It's a Pokemon Amigurumi book. Enjoy, Mabel.

A gift will find it's way to Mabel on Christmas. It's wrapped by someone who isn't used to wrapping things and has a card on the top. The card has a classic 'Merry Christmas' but also has a drawn picture of a Helioptile with a Santa hat on. There's a note on the card that read 'Dandelion says Merry Christmas too'

Inside the gift is some candy for humans and also some pokemon treats. There is also a book on braided friendship bracelets with all sorts of different patterns.

A deliverybird drops off a little package for Mabel on Christmas Eve! In it is a couple of T-shirts from Hot Togepi, with Edgar and Bella designs on them.

Her postcard has a Zubat in a Santa hat, with Marco's writing on the reverse.

Saw these and thought you might like them. Merry Christmas! - Marco

So yeah, presents.

Mabel will be getting some pokemon treats for her team. And also like a boxful of many coloured balls of yarn. ~~so much yarn~~

Mabel will receive a visit from a shy black Charizard on Christmas Eve - he has a delivery for her!

The delivery contains the following:

5x 7oz skeins of yarn - one each in white, green, blue, purple, and orange
12x Sugar cookies

And a handwritten note that reads:

HAPPY XMAS, SUNSHINE!
-KRIEG

Now Bertolt could've waited until meeting in person to send it, but on the morning of the 24th a Charizard drops by with a nice sized box.

Inside that box are various skeins of yarn, but it's not just any ordinary yarn!

It's yarn made of Arcanine fur.

All three colors are there - orange, black, and cream, and some even look mixed. There's three solid creams, four oranges, and two blacks. With the mixed colors there's at least six orange-creams, and nearly the same with a tri-color of orange, black and cream.

Tucked at the bottom of the package is one of those tins that usually contain sewing supplies, but this time it's actually baked goods. Sugar cookie bars, strawberry bars, eclairs, and some fudge that didn't seem to set just quite right. It's edible of course! Just a little... gooey.

Along with that is a note;

'I met someone in Goldenrod who could make yarn when I went to challenge Whitney, and I thought you might like something that can make extra warm sweaters. Or hats? I'm not exactly sure what people can make with yarn anymore.

Most of this is from Marcel, but his daughter and another Arcanine I have helped.

P.S.
You might want to use a spoon for the fudge. I don't know what went wrong but it didn't get hard like it's supposed to. I haven't had much practice with it but it's still good, I promise. And thank you again for helping with the sweater ♡

-B

♡'

Mabel will get a collection of arts and crafts supplies, including a giant tub of multi-colored glitter, from Jean. There's also some sweets, both for people and Pokemon, that were baked by Bertolt, and this note:

Loved the sweater, thank you. Do you think you could use some of these supplies to design a logo for FCAB? We don't have one yet and you seem like just the artist to do it.

Mabel, what's a Galentine's Day?

[She asks while standing in the middle of a store that's still decked out in red balloons and heart themed decor. The only difference between today and yesterday is the big yellow signs now declaring everything is 50% off.]
