"Christmas just doesn't make sense to me. I understand the Jesus story, but I fail to see how it translates to a season of gift-giving and blatant greed." (didnotasktobecreated)

Elena froze, looking at the man before her.  She still had so many questions about how he had just shown up in Mystic Falls.  Then again she had just woken from a slumber to find most of her friends completely gone.  She had convinced him to set up a Christmas tree and get decorations for the boardinghouse house.  She looked over at him from setting the angel up on top. âI think all things are about being selfless and thinking of others.  Itâs supposed to be about the art of family and friends. Of course some people have become greedy, but they are like that all year round. Itâs about caring for one another, itâs really as simple as that.â
âyouâre a clone?â  Well now she has certainly heard and seen it all, and just when she thought she was going to have some shadow of a normal life.  Elena looked at the man and smiled softly, shrugging her shoulders.  âWell, you are certainly a gifted friend, thatâs for sure.  Iâm not interested in using you for your powers.  Iâm interested in drinking eggnog with you and just having a good time.  Try not to analyze everything.  Life is much more exciting if you just kind of let it  happen.  and I think you could do with some happiness.âÂ
âYes, that usually does come as a bit of a surprise to most.â He tilted his head to the side a bit at her comment. âFriend? You consider me a friend after such a short period of time? I am...flattered.â It was an unusual term for him to use, he wasnât the type to express emotion all that much if at all. He felt disconnected from the world, having never truly experienced it, seeing as he was created and trained to be a living weapon.
