"Fried chicken... for Christmas? That's a Japanese thing, isn't it. I think I saw that in an anime once," they blurt, then immediately redden, because that is quite possibly the lamest way to discuss culture ever. "It's a marketing thing, isn't it? Like diamond rings for married couples."

Commercialism, right? The true meaning of Christmas, if you're bitter and miserable and also a ten-year-old who's trying really hard to sound knowledgeable and cool. They take a drink. It's still too hot and it tastes awful. It's exactly what they expect from coffee.

But hey, it's warmth and energy. That counts for something.

"We celebrated Christmas back home, more or less, only it was Gyftmas," they quickly redirect the topic. "It didn't have any religious connotations. Just a guy dressing as Santa and gifts under a decorated tree."
