Francine leaves to visit family on the afternoon of the 24th and does not return until noon on the 26th, but before she goes she sends her presents out (or if you're Aoi, delivers in person because mailing something to your own dorm room is silly). Her presents are as follows:

( Chihiro, Aoi, Sable, Clear )

( GIFTS: Alter Ego, Aoi, Bulba, Byakuya, Chihiro, Chili, Cyrus, Gordon, Hajime, Hifumi, Jock, Knuckles, Mac, Mondo, Mukuro, Sakura, Samus, Torinosuke, Vinnie, Vivian, Wheatley, Yasuhiro. Not pictured: crying out about being too broke for this shit. )

[AND NOW FOR A VIDEO POST. Now that he's over his fever...]

I hope you have all been enjoying your holiday! In the downtime, I have had time to think... think ahead to the future! As we all should! It is nearly new year's, which is the perfect opportunity to let go of all stresses of this year and be ready to do all that we can to improve ourselves in the next! The time to make resolutions is now! Let's see them all through until the very end!

Everyone, share your goals so we may help each other stick to them!

...He wanted to try to at least do something. After all, he was given some small gifts on this day when he was on the homestead. So he did start that sort of thing in return for the following years. Again though, despite him nor Achilles not really being big on festivities.

Eirik: An invitation to join him at the lake one night. He would prepare a campfire and a stew so they could have a makeshift dining experience. There, he would give her also...her very first bow with a quip. The quip had a few arrows inside.
Mary: As promised, he did get those sticks. It was a joint effort from Eirik. The easel as well was given. It was marked from "Santa" though. He also got her some fine candies from a merchant in town, thinking you would like them. They were chocolates. He really tried here.
Phoenix: He would be given a hat made from leathers, it would feel nice if you wore it. He meant for it to be warm.
Gordon: A meat pie he purchased also from the market for he doesn't know how to work a modern kitchen yet. An invitation to also spar again someday, friend. It was written with enough friendliness for Gordon, if he were the one into details, to see that Connor is very appreciative and thankful to Gordon. They were still good friends, even if you were seeing a friend's mother.
Eggman: His everlasting hate.
Haytham: His everlasting resentment. But maybe there was an unmarked charm made from feathers by your door. Gee, who could it be from.
Desmond: He tried to really welcome you to his apartment for real this time. He knew his place was very bare but he heard that a lot of people use these everyday...he chipped in to get the place an espresso machine.
Ziio: Mother got a bunch of furs and meat. He worked through the night to make sure she had enough food and furs for clothing for a little while. A new knife he made using stone as well.
Ellistree: A note saying thank you for a decent time and asking to perhaps meet again under better circumstances. Maybe we can be friends.

Ib: He got you a charm bracelet with a red rose charm on it to start. Also there was a box. Inside the box was a red velvet cupcake. He...tried.
Mary: A box of oil and tempura paints. Plus, a bag of gummy bears.
Cress: A collection of fine teas. Jasmine Green Tea, Earl Grey, Chai...boxes of such teas were all placed in a basket with care. He thought you might like these.
Shantae: A pair of dance shoes...hope they fit! If not, there was a gift reciept.
Bulba: A leather necklace with a leaf pendant on the end.
Clear: SECRET SANTEE IS SECRET; he didn't know you. He thought the best gift would be a gift basket of hot cocoa, a mug, and some good chocolates.
Watt: A box of new artist pencils plus a new leather notepad.
Vianca: A headband adorned with a fake pink rose on it. He thought it would look cute on you!

Blaze: Now that Blaze can travel home again, Knuckles figures maybe a big Coffee Table book about Final Destination City would be a nice thing for her to keep there. So he bought her one of those and a nice scarf.

Goombella: Some more bulbs for her Plinth helmet, reservations to her favorite restaurant, and Chore Vouchers. So that she could have him do chores. Because that seemed like fun. Also, some less banal coupons. For grownups.

Max: Two Seven XL... or.. whatever size tank tops he wears. This one. And this one.

Mac: It takes a certain kind of man to make a pink jumpsuit look manly as all hell. Mac Aroni is one such man. Wear it in good health, my friend.

Sable: A basket of yarn! He knows she probably knitted most of her gifts again this year so he figured he'd help her replenish her yarn supply!

Lucca: A Screwdriver set! It may not be quite as high tech as some of the tools she uses (Or builds for herself.) but he knows that Auto Shop can be a more fun place when the particular sized screwdriver you need is within easy reach.

Alter Ego: Sup, Secret Santee? He never did manage to catch the fiend who broke your laptop. However, now that it's fixed he figured it might be useful to have Lojack. Because if his laptop ever got stolen or whatever that might be useful to help him track it. Safety is important!

Ishimaru: An academic calendar with scenic pictures of some fancy looking place with a lot of beaches. Happy studying!

R.O.B.: A Roboraptor! Kind of a fun, mechanical little guy, even if not a real robot. He thought it might be fun for R.O.B. to putz around with if nothing else.

Pit: Angel Food cake! With fresh fruit and everything! Enjoy!

Apple Kid: The fanciest condiments. Also, the entire contents of his junk drawer. Because he knows Apple Kid will probably be able to solve all the worlds problems with this stuff.

Ellistree: What do you get the chick who can turn into anything? He had no freakin' clue. But she was nice so he figured a gift couldn't hurt. She got a fruit basket. Because everyone loves fruit baskets.

Vianca: He's never quite sure what to get her. This year she gets a nice Wooly hat and some Sunglasses to help keep her eyes safe from snow glare.

Voile: Awwww yeah! His Best Man! Confirmed! He knows how much she loves the Greenhouse so she gets a great big selection of Flower Seeds. Also, an ornamental desk mirror.

Char: Chocolate covered almonds.

Bulba: Bulba likes cooking AND gardening so what better gift than some Vegetable Seeds.

Nyx: What is Nyx without some cool sun glasses? Not Nyx at all. So enjoy a couple new pairs.

Vivian: Knuckles was going to teach her how to punch stuff. But book learning was also important for kids. Right? So, a book about how to punch stuff would work well.

Eggman: A photocopy of his ass.

Kitty: She's dead. So what. He picked a small bouquet and took it to the woods where she was apparently sometimes seen and left it there with a note. 'Merry Christmas, Kitty. -Ketchup Head.'.
