[when Minako wakes up and walks out of her bedroom on the 22nd, her kitchen will have suddenly turned into a garden; every available surface sports flowers on it, of all shapes and colours, each with a note attached that says both to Minako and the name of the sender. they've all been wrapped together into their bundles with lovely, brightly-coloured ribbons (and while it doesn't seem to be a professional job, they hold together well enough). anything with a pocket will have a flower or ten tucked into it, including her coat, her shoes, and her cookie jar. a trail of orange rose petals will lead her through the house, out the door, and to her front porch, where another trove of flowers awaits her (with a bouquet of course sticking directly out of her mailbox)]
[when she arrives at Moe Moe, she might suspect the pattern that's emerging; the counter will be lousy with flowers instead of cupcakes, an artfully drawn banner above them reading HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE GODDESS OF LOVE AND BEAUTY. these flowers, upon inspection, will be from the employees of Moe Moe exclusively]
[the flower bonanza won't stop there; throughout the day, no matter where she goes, two cute delivery boys on their bicycles will deliver bouquets of flowers to her. a majority of the flowers will come to her at Moe Moe, but they seem to be staggered, so that every half-hour or so a new armful of flowers is delivered to her]

Good morning, Minako! I hope you're having a wonderful day!
Did you happen to receive any of these adorable little creatures they're calling pokemon?

I didn't think this was going to happen so soon, please help.

1449 action; backdated all the way to November, sometime before Pokemon!
{ooc: Sorry for the super lateness even after I got mod confirmation! Holiday months... D;}
[This morning, when Minako awakens, Rei's already gotten up and moved to the living room. However, she'd left a small gift-wrapped package on the bed, with an unsigned handwritten note.]
Minako,
I couldn't think of anything else to get for your birthday. Sorry it's late. I had to ask the Landlord to find me a copy.
Even though you're not exactly the same, I thought you might like to have it.
[Inside the package is... a certain CD. This might be a little weird for Minako...]

how was it another week and a half *why are events so distracting?*
Minako, this is Edgeworth.
I have a favor to ask of you; please return my call. Thank you.

action at minako's house at whatever date, they're girlfriends who cares tbh
[ So Erina isn't exactly familiar with this 'Secret Santa' business and the only thing she's actually delighted about is the fact that she's gifting someone that she knows. If it were a stranger the most that she would have given them was a card. One that she wouldn't even have bothered to write in or properly put in an envelope, in all honesty.
But because this is for Minako, a friend (and boss, but that's a fact that she likes to ignore), she's going to at least put some effort into this.
Probably too much effort. No one has really explained Erina that surprising people by being in their house completely unannounced in the dark might cause a heart attack or worse. But she's experienced enough horrors being Minako's friend, so this time the older girl is going to have to suffer.
At least she brought cake, and even added a few candles that were still brightly lit when Minako walks through the door. And maybe she can also spot the small bag slung around her arm holding a pair of shoes that she happened to buy simply because they were cute. And Minako's cute. On certain days.
(And she wasn't wearing a similar pair because she's heard that friends usually do that kind of thing. Nope.) ]
Surprise.
[ Never assign Erina to be someone's Secret Santa ever. ]

[ It may not be much, but this Christmas Germany is thinking of all the people that he has grown 'fond' of both from home and from Holly Heights. He would have given people advent calendars at the beginning of the month, but things had been a little too hectic to make one for everyone. Instead he opted for nicely wrapped mini stollen, a dozen pfeffernusse and nicely handwritten notes (each one is personalised) that read as the following:
"Merry Christmas! It isn't much but I hope you enjoy it all the same, I wish you many blessings in the coming year. Thank you for all your help. - Germany"
Her way of helping was strange, but it was something that he needed, right? ]

[makoto's gift to minako... was supposed to be for her birthday, but he didn't finish it in time. he's not artistic by any means so he actually didn't put any work on the actual photo albums (in all those colours!). the only one with any photographs in it is the green one; it's minako's job to fill up the rest with her own.]
[the photographs are his own, of his friends, of a few fun occasions at moe moe, (a few rare pictures of rin smiling), of cats, of camping, of the swim club, etc.]
[the card reads a simple MERRY CHRISTMAS! -Makoto and has a quote attached to it: "Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things long after you have forgotten everything. -Aaron Siskind"]

[ left on the doorstep/mailbox/somewhere is a cutely wrapped gift, along with a card, written in signature pink gel pen:
Merry Christmas Mina-chan!
Mina-chan is truly a goddess in every way and deserves only the best for the holidays!! I hope u like the present. I was thinking of that outfit you wore the other day with the yellow accents on the skirt so it will at least match that. (‐^▽^‐) Thank u for everything you do!
Love,
Hazuki Nagisa♥

[Inside the mailbox, she finds one carefully wrapped present. It contains a necklace and jars of hot chocolate mix, neatly labelled as "peppermint", "vanilla", and "strawberry" along with a card written in Veronica's loopy cursive.]
Dear Minako,
May your Christmas be merry and wonderful. I thought this mirror was quite cute, and it is very portable as well! May you never forget that you are both divine and beautiful.
Sincerely,
Veronica

[In addition to the holiday cookies that she baked for all her close friends and family, Minako will be receiving a hand made dress from Snow White. Attached to all this is a card written in neat cursive.]
Dear Minako,
Merry Christmas! I am so glad to know a friend like you and all the gladder still that I get to enjoy time with you.
You're one of the only people who understands my love for bows!
I hope you like the dress, I'm sure it will look stunning on you.
Happy holidays and best wishes!
With love,
Snow White

To my goddess of beauty and love,
I hope this gift finds you well and that the holiday season brings cheer to your heart. May this necklace shine with the same beauty as you already shine with.
Have a merry Christmas.
With all my love,
Serenity

[The wrapping paper is red, of course. And inside is a book about the myths and legends about the goddess Aphrodite. Or Venus. Included is a small box of four red velvet cupcakes.
The card is plain and the neat handwriting unmistakable:
Minako-san,
Merry Christmas! Thank you for everything. I'm glad to have started working at Moe Moe.

[The wrapped present tagged "To: Minako, From: Natsuru" is rather obviously a jewelry box even with the orange wrapping paper and blue bow. (Serenity told Natsuru about those colors, it's just pure chance that she happened to combine them that way.)
The note is much less embarrassing this year than last.]
Minako-chan,
I wanted to thank you again for being my friend, and watching out for me and Sayaka. Being married for real is a lot to get used to, so I hope you don't mind if I ask your advice as the goddess of love sometimes. Even when I'm not sure what to do, I know I can count on your support as a friend.
This is both to thank you for everything, and to wish you a merry Christmas. I'm glad we got to be friends for another year.
- Natsuru
[Inside the box, there's a necklace. Again, Serenity told her blue was a good color. As well as gold jewelry.]

Buon Natale Minako!
Thank you for everything, you've been an amazing and beautiful presence during my stay here. I would like to continue to talk to you more this next year, please accept these gifts as a token of my appreciation.

[ in a smaller wrapped box inside will be these honey-coated cartellate, and a larger wrapped gift containing this outfit (surprisingly the right size all around) ]

[The gift is neatly wrapped, and inside is a CD with various pieces by several classical composers - soothing and romantic. Well, she did say she was the goddess of love, so nothing like romance-inspired music to liven up her day. Sort of. Anyway, the card is plain, the handwriting beautiful.
Minako,
Merry Christmas.

[In Minako's mailbox is a bouquet of orange, red, and yellow flowers. Some are roses, some are daisies and daffodils and sunflowers. In the very center of the bouquet are bright blue flowers. It sits atop a box of chocolate with a card.]
To the goddess of love and beauty,
My dearest goddess, my sweet Minako, you have always been one of my dearest and most loved friends, the family I chose and who in turn chose me. I know this shall merely be one of the many tributes given to you today, as is only appropriate on this day of love.
I love you dearly, my faithful guardian, with all my heart,
Serenity
