((bear with me, y'all. More to come as I get time to ...y'know. Breathe. ))

As with last year, the following gifts were left at Panacea:

The Accompanying Note:

Cane,

I have struggled all along to put into words the way I see; only very recently did someone actually suggest that I just ****? draw it. This is how I learned that I see more? whats-it-called? colors? Than there are colored pencils or paints, but? this is the closest I could come with the materials available.

...Since it?s probably not obvious, the one with the purplish shade is you. The other is Sal... in Autumn.

Aoife,

Things I see when I see you. Also, this is made in part with tea.

A coffin shaped box was handed over, probably during the dolly tea party.

The accompanying note:

Sabine--

The internet showed me this amazing place called Sock Dreams. I felt like you needed to know about it.

Also I?m not sure I got that? Christmas Happy thing right. It looks funny. Did I do it wrong? I?m pretty sure I did it wrong.

Hope you like them!

The accompanying note:

Fin,

Over my birthday I went to a place called Fiji. It?s this little island in the middle of nowhere on Earth, and it?s absolutely beautiful. The wooden items are from there -- they?re supposed to be forks or something? But the craftsmanship just made me think of you. The creature is a ?Fiji mermaid? -- it?s apparently not a real thing there? It?s some kind of legend put together from fish and monkeys or something. I bet it could be real here, though. Everything is, isn?t it?

The bag of art supplies is so you can draw wherever you go.

Hope your holidays are happy and bright,

Saila.

Mark and Grace,

Inside this envelope is a gift certificate for any bed and breakfast on the RhydinBnB website. You don?t have to pick one in advance.

For one of your ?vacations?.

Here?s to a new year, and thank you for everything.

The accompanying note:

Ian and Mac,

...I?m sorry, I couldn?t help it. I laughed (a lot). Seriously, though. I have a room at the Red Dragon I?m not using anymore. It?s not even on the top floor. Room 23. Have fun.

A literal cloud of blue and green glitter rises up out of the package the moment it's opened.

The accompanying note:

Rogue

The jewelry is made from vodka bottles. Sorry about the glitter.

-Saila

P.S. I'm not really sorry about the glitter.

Hex

There are two packages for Hex. The first one seems innocuous enough. The second is a cardboard box that has been wrapped, but there are several random holes cut into it.

The first package emits a cloud of bright red glitter upon opening. It contains the shirt, pillow, working lighter cuff links ('for all those events I drag you to', she explains), the eject button cigarette lighter for the hearse ('so you really can throw random chicks with bad taste in music out of your car'), and a coffee mug even he probably can't break ('it's enchanted').

The second one...contains one tiny, adorable, very much alive black rabbit with white markings.

There's also a plain brown paper bag with food, a leash and toys for his new pet bunny.
