I know there are serious things happening but focusing on that has never been something I'm good at. That said, Thanksgiving just passed by. [Not that Jacob has a good track record for celebrating or understanding most holidays but it got him thinking.] Not sure who has thanksgiving or who celebrates it.

It's a pretty strange holiday.

[Jacob remembers it as a holiday dedicated to overeating.]

But it also reminds me that Christmas is coming up too. I don't remember doing much the last time I was here. [He thinks he gave away wooden carvings but then that might have had no relation to Christmas, Jacob's memories were still a bit fuzzy.]

Anyway, I wanted to know what sort of traditions people had.

My traditions changed a lot after my parents passed but when I was very young I remember a lot of cookies and a lot of pie. Along with a great deal of decorations that I had to help with or, I wouldn't get the aforementioned cookies and pie.

What about you guys?

I mean, I don't need more than the one. And I don't think there's any other people from the faith here, so it's fine.

[brotherofagod]

Okay. I'll have one made and drop it by once it's done.

[I will only take him a few days to finish something so simple and he can get it done with spare wood so it'll only cost him a little bit of time.]

[Tommy tries not to be so stupidly happy about that. While he was dismissive of a lot of stuff, he had been trying to learn it all properly.]

Thanks, man. You’re pretty cool for a new guy.

[brotherofagod]

Thanks.

[He likes the compliment.]

I'll talk to you later.

[Jake hangs up with his polite goodbye.

It'll take a week before Tommy gets a delivery from the woodshop.]

[Well that will be a nice thing. And hours later there will absolutely be a small ‘thank you’ basket of cookies outside of Jacob’s apartment.]
