Lucky you. I’d probably stop feeling the Christmas spirit after dealing with that many kids.

Well I have a baby sister at home, you get used to it after a while.

"Tell me about it, I’m so excited for the parties!"

I have to cook a bunch since family's all coming over, but it's fun.

I was at the park today and some little boy held my hand before realizing I wasn’t his dad and running away … Do I look like the fatherly type? 

Maybe from the back.... Depends on how old the kid is.

It’s December 3rd, that means I can start baking Christmas cookies now, right?

If you let me help, then yeah totally.

Vegetarian Thanksgiving? Ew. Why would you do that? Don’t you love yourself?

I never really loved turkey anyway. I just eat a lot of mashed potatoes and everything else.

A year?! Oh my gosh, I can’t even last a week… actually, I think it was just two days, I’m so weak. And burgers! How can you even give that up? And bacon!

I was never really a big fan of meat. When I was a kid I would go vegetarian for hours at a time to avoid eating things like pork chops.

You’re a vegetarian?! I tried to go vegetarian once, but I passed by a McDonald’s by accident and I caved at the smell of burgers, so I’m seriously like… I just bow down to you cause you’re doing it! Wow!

Yeah, I have been for a year or so... it's really not that hard once you get used to it honestly.

[Thinking aloud to herself] Do … do people still send out birthday invitations in the mail or-???…

I don't think usually, but you could if you really want to. Usually people just hand them out at school or email I think.

This rink is actually pretty cool! It’d probably be better if I could actually skate though. So far all I’ve managed to do is fall flat on my butt.

If I fall and hurt myself, my coach is going to kill me.

I’d love to have you on board! Especially since we’re probably going to need as many volunteers as we can get.

I'd totally be interested.

That sounds great! I'd totally help.

[Smiles shyly.] It’s no problem, really. I promise. And all the christmas cookies are coming in now, so now is totally the time for a cookie.

Maybe I will then.

Are you sure? M-maybe I can go and get you a cookie or something to make it taste better? Sorry… It’s um.. first day. 

I don't want to bug you with it, though.
