Fourth Floor Common Room, evening

Isabel feels a bit silly because she can't remember what floor the coffee bar is supposed to be on. Because it's close to the remaining gifts she still needs to give out to anyone that won't be around for Christmas Day, she goes with the Fourth Floor.

There's an assortment of baked goods and lots of caffiene for anyone still studying. How the Grump Stole the Holidays is playing on the TV and there are more Christmas classics to follow.

[open of course. I'm just AFK for about 30 minutes or so Back!]

"Not necessarily," Isabel said. "I mean, it's kind of silly to buy presents for people you've never spoken to. But for your friends? The people you're close to? You should have presents for them."

"Are you supposed to buy them something specific?" Alec asked, curious. "I mean, are there guidelines for Christmas gift buying, or what?"

"You want to get them something that reminds you of them, or that you think they'd like." She thought about the gifts she'd given, trying to think of good examples. "Like for Anders, I know he likes baseball, and we went to a game together last summer, so I got him a print of the stadium we went to. I got Parker a necklace and earrings I thought would suit her. Really, you can't go wrong. Well unless you get someone a chia pet."

Alec nodded, thinking of what he thought his friends might like. "What's a chia pet?"

"The tackiest gift ever," Isabel said, rolling her eyes. "It's this planter thing that you fill with water and then grow grass on it."

"Okay, no chia pets," Alec said, grinning. "So what do you want for Christmas?"

"I'm easy. I'm all about the chocolate," she smiled.

He made a mental note. "It's really that simple?"

"For some people? Yes," Isabel nodded. "Others can drive you crazy. Especially when you're looking for something that's just perfect."
