You know what Sam Wilson gets from Dorian Gray for Yule? That's right: angel cake. Delicious, sugary, wonderful angel cake, specially ordered from a local bakery, to be eaten and enjoyed by his angelic pal.
Strangely, there is one slice of devil's cake hiding in there under the white frosting. How did that happen? No one is quite certain.
[ Much like her other friends, the box that Hermione sends has a charmed cloak, a charmedbag and set of potions to offer protection.
Sam also gets a broach, in the shape of a bird, with runes to protect him, a second cloak in simple red for special occasions and a set of gloves with a charm to keep them warm. His note reads, simple, to my favourite angel. ]
[Joshua is way more scarce than normal during Christmas, and will be impossible to locate on New Year's Eve and Day. Regardless, he likes Sam enough to actually take the time to get him something for the holiday. Sam gets the following:
(1) Angel (1) Tea set with matching tea pot, of course A set of assorted tea and coffee flavors
There's also a neatly handwritten note:]
I believe I still owe you coffee or tea at some point. Perhaps we can arrange a springtime get together.
[ Ariadne looks like she's just woken up from a nightmare -- her hair is messed, her eyes and cheeks red. It's been long enough that her breathing is back to normal, but she's still hunched in a bit on herself, a blanket wrapped around her shoulders. ]
I don't know if you have anyone teaching you how to use your shard. If you do not, I would love to teach you how to. It is something that helps strengthen the skills you already have and makes it easier to protect those you care about.
It seems like something right up your alley.
I will be spending a good amount of time at Caer Glaem, so feel free to drop by whenever you have some time. I usually ask for a week if possible, but it is something we can discuss.
[Along with a delivery of medical supplies is a little something for Sam as well. Huge sacks of flour, sugar and chocolate for his baking needs, but that's more for the clinic than anything. So there's also a thumb ring. But those aren't jewels, rather, it's Jekyll's own blood crystalised. A note explains.]
Dear Sam,
Happy Christmas and Yuletide, I hope you remember to take as much care of yourself as you do others. This ring will allow you to call for me, for any reason. I will be alerted and able to find just where you are if you simply press upon the stones.
Your loyal friend, Henry
[The way he'll be alerted is that his own thumb will bleed of its own accord, but, no need to mention that part.]
[ Various dried herbs with healing and soothing properties are delivered by a rather fat dove with colored bands around its legs. There's also a note, explaining that the dove is named Michelangelo, that he now belongs to Sam, and that he can be used to send messages and look cute. ]
A carrier bird comes to Sam, regardless of his location in the Drabwurld, and delivers a letter. It bears a wax seal that prevents it from being opened by anyone other than him. There is no indicator where the bird came from, or where it will return to.
Dear Sam,
Rumour has reached me that you're in search of expanding your medical skills into that of magic. I've been trained in both curative healing spells and am slowly expanding my knowledge of rune magic as it relates to healing. I only offer this in hearing that you've planned to open a clinic in neutral territory, and want to equip you with as many skills as you need. God knows we need more neutral spaces here for people.
If you're interested, I'm happy to travel to you for lessons. Please give your response to the bird that delivered this letter, as it will be able to return to me without being intercepted.

Yule
Good day my devilish friend!
I don't know if you have anyone teaching you how to use your shard. If you do not, I would love to teach you how to. It is something that helps strengthen the skills you already have and makes it easier to protect those you care about.
It seems like something right up your alley.
I will be spending a good amount of time at Caer Glaem, so feel free to drop by whenever you have some time. I usually ask for a week if possible, but it is something we can discuss.
Be well until we meet again,
