o my beautiful gorgeous awesome friend Kimber,

ook what I found! Is this perfect for you or what? I know you're into yoga and all that hippie cool boho chic stuff, so I was thinking of getting you this spa-in-a-bag thing, but then! Look! There's just something about baths that get you in your zone and get you all relaxed and comfortable and really happy. So I saw this and immediately thought of you, because now you can make your own body butter. Keep your skin all nourished and happy and treat yoself. It has all these natural ingredients and stuff in it that I kind of don't understand or recognize but the lady promised me it wasn't some cheapo that will turn your skin green or make you break out. So if it does that, then let me know, so I can sue her.

'm just really happy to have you as a friend, you know? You're one of the coolest and nicest people in Harwich, and I'm really lucky. So Merry Christmas, and enjoy your next bath!

Love, 

Jamie

Do you like my sweater?

[kim-jamie]

It's pretty, I do!

[freddie-mcdermott]

I-I’m pretty s-sure that dude sent his-his kid over here more th-than once already for a stick-sticker, but th-that’s just me.

[kim-jamie]

Then you should tell him to piss off!

[newtonhalstead-blog]

I think this is the most bored I’ve ever been in my life - if I have to hand out another damn sticker I’m pretty sure my eyes are going to glaze over.

[kim-jamie]

Ugh, me too. I hate this station. I don't want to give stickers out to people, I'd rather be one of Santa's cute elves or something.

I’m going to Dave’s parents’ house. They decided to host Christmas this year, after his brother nearly set the kitchen on fire last year. What are you doing?

[kim-jamie]

Spending it with my family, as usual! You should come over sometime if you can, they all love you and Daniel even told me he feels like he needs to protect you from 'bad high school boys.' What an idiot.

Fun is one way to describe it, yeah. Well I’m going to be working at the ornament center during the Christmas thing for the town, so hopefully I won’t get coal this year!

[kim-jamie]

Oh, yeah! Coal is a no no, right? You'll be fine. I mean, what's done is done and you just have to move on and try to make up for it.

I’m so jealous! My family’s too lazy to do any of that. I always have to push them to do most Christmas things. No way, it’s probably just because you’re incredibly skilled in the art of gingerbread house making. We always have a giant breakfast that my mom and I cook, but other than that, no. It’s just my dad, my mom and I and we don’t have much family in town, so we usually just spend time together which is nice since we’re all usually really busy.

[kim-jamie]

Yeah, we're a pretty awesome family. No way, mine are such a mess that we can't even eat it after I win, we just throw it out immediately after. My sister Lauren should win, she's the artsiest one, but whatever! That's nice too, though. Small and quaint and like, intimate. Christmas is nice as long as you're with people you love, you know?

[serenvollers]

Well if it makes you feel any better, I’m sure the kids at our workshop wouldn’t mind getting a few stickers from you. That way, everyone ends up happy.

[kim-jamie]

It's not the same, but I guess it's something. Whatever, it's still fun seeing everyone being all festive, I guess!

[cade-hanson-blog]

Depends on your job.

[kim-jamie]

I'm at the sticker station. Boring.

This is the second verse, not the first one.

I know the first verse.

[kim-jamie]

Oh! It's like... crap, I have no idea! That's so funny, I thought I knew every Christmas song.

[notquitelola-deactivated2015082]

It’s your favourite then? I suppose it can be pretty magical sometimes..

[kim-jamie]

Yeah, isn't it everyone's? It should be. The snow and the lights and the presents are awesome. Do you not like Christmas?

[harleycameron]

I can tell. Your eyes started to light up and everything.

[kim-jamie]

That's a weird thing to say. I'm just saying, they're awesome.

You're Harley, right?

[kim-jamie]

Hey Newton!

We're not all that close, I don't know if we've even talked before, but Christmas is one of my favorite holidays, and there's no such thing as too much Christmas gear. Sure, I guess I could have gotten you cookies or something, but there is no way I am stepping into my kitchen to make anything because I'll probably blow the entire house up. And it's no fun just buying them, ew. So I made you a Christmas Care Package! I used to help make care packages for my siblings after they went to college, so a festive one just seemed really perfect.

A lot of these can be found at a dollar store or something, but whatever! There's a lot of candy canes, some Christmas stickers, a stocking (I couldn't find one with your name on it, sorry), a Santa hat, some mittens, and Christmas socks. Oh, and a little bag of coals for you to hand out to whoever annoys you, haha! Funny, right?

Merry Christmas! Hope you enjoy your gift, and I really hope you wear some of the stuff in here because they're awesome. I hope we can be friends, too!

Love, Jamie

I’m gonna lose it if they don’t knock it off with the Christmas music soon.

[kim-jamie]

What do you have against Christmas music?

[cade-hanson-blog]

Is it possible to trade jobs with somebody?

Is that allowed?

[kim-jamie]

Can we trade? Pleeease?

Patrick danced to one of the songs, laughing awkwardly as he sang: “IIIII don’t know the rest of the words, fa la la la la, la la la la…”

[kim-jamie]

It's tis the season to be jolly. Everyone knows that.

[serenvollers]

Yes, Santa’s Workshop is the best! My two favourite things rolled into one — taking care of kids and celebrating Christmas. This couldn’t have worked out better.

[kim-jamie]

You get kids and I get stickers. How is this fair?
