[Guess who's in a great mood today? That's right, it's the resident Lucky Rabbit! Being a Disney character, Christmas already brings him lots of cheer, but the present he got was even better than he could've hoped for. It made him a little homesick, yes, but just having Ortensia's locket reminded him that this is the time to spend with your loved ones and spread joy all around.]

Ho ho ho, folks! Oswald the Lucky Rabbit here, wishin' you all a Merry Christmas! Hope Santa got y'all the presents you were hopin' for. I'm gonna miss my little elf pal, but there's always next year!

[He shrugs, then continues on in the same tone of excitement.]

That said, I got an announcement for you! There's a big show goin' down next Monday, December 31st! We're gonna end this year with a bang! It's the extravaganza of a lifetime, happenin' right here in Luceti, but I'm not gonna spoil the surprise just yet. Where? Community Building one! When? [He pauses, actually stopping to think about this.] I'd say around four in the afternoon should be good. ...So come one, come all! You ain't gonna want to miss this spectacle!

[And with that, it's back to the more current topic- Christmas!]

Hey, so who's up for caroling this year? I know Santa's already left, but Christmas is Christmas and it ain't the same without some carols! Jingle Bells, Deck The Halls, Silent Night... We can do all the classics and go visit all the houses! Don't worry if ya don't know the lyrics, I can teach you! It's real easy. So who's in?

[His ears perk right up at that.] A present? For me?

That's right! I made you something for being such a good friend.

Oooh, what is it? Is it a statue?

Not quite... but I think you'll like it anyway!

Geez, you really know how to tickle my curiosity, don't you? So where do you wanna meet up?

Well if I didn't, your present wouldn't be much of a surprise!

[Jeb laughs.]

Maybe I can come up to your place? I don't think my present will be too hard to get up there! [Besides, Jeb's not sure how happy Silver would be with Oswald over.]/small>

Sure, that's fine! [... Oh wait.] But you'll have to wait 'till I'm done caroling. Unless you wanna come along, that is!

Of course, I'd love to! [Like he was going to say no.]

Great! Then we can meet up at the plaza!

I'll see you there, then!

[And Jeb will be there at the plaza, properly dressed for the weather and with a wrapped gift under his arm.]

[Oswald will come running towards him in no time, wearing a neat blue jacket to go with his usual pants and a pair of white mittens.]

Hey, Jeb!

Oswald! [He waves with his free hand, his smile at no risk of fading.] Wow, you're dressed so nicely for the weather!

Thanks! You're not looking too bad yourself. This time of year really calls for the 'winter look', huh?

[No Oswald, humans don't choose outfits based on the situation, they choose them to feel comfortable and temperature appropriate.]

Well, I would hope so. [Jeb just laughs it off.] Oh, I brought your present with me! I probably should have left it and invited you over once we were done, but...

[Oswald's ears perk up immediately.] Don't be silly! It's always a good time for presents, and the sooner, the better!

[Jeb smiles and holds out his gift for Oswald. He took a lot of time into this painting of Oswald as a king, and he hopes the rabbit likes it.

...the "king" part was definitely influenced by some kind of leftover recollection of that week he thought he was a resident of Oswald's world, of course.]

This is...! [He takes the painting carefully with both hands, holding it up. He doesn't even have the words to express himself anymore. It's just like the paintings and statues he has around Dark Beauty Castle back home.]

[Oh, that's a reaction he likes! Jeb's smile gets wider, just letting Oswald look at his present as long as he likes.]

[And then Oswald finally finds his voice again.]

This is perfect, Jeb! Thanks so much!

[If one thought it was impossible for Jeb's expression to brighten up further... well, they'd be proven wrong.]

Really? You think it's perfect? You're welcome, I was hoping you'd like it!
