Its that time of year where I’m forced to be nice or I might not get that new game I want. And if I’m going to be nice, it makes sense that I’d start with you lot, yeah? Alright so, I’m not saying you guys are Han and Leia but I thought of you when Is aw this, so take it however you want to! I figured you guys were probably due for a bit of a break too, so a little wine should help that along. Just make sure the kids are asleep first! And I have no idea how these things work but they’re apparently fucking magic - you can cook a whole roast beef dinner in forty minutes, or something absurd like that. I thought it might help out a little since your hands are so full these days!

And for the little lads, of course, some Star Wars treats. Pajamas, naturally, because it’s that time of year. The collector’s edition Little Golden Books - I know they can’t read, but I figured BJ could make himself useful and cover bedtime stories for a bit! 

Anyway, I hope you’re all having a brilliant holiday. Merry Christmas!

I’m going to warn you up front, I’m not the best gift buyer in the land, but I wanted to get you a few things for Christmas - it seemed like a good time to properly thank you for letting me lie to people about our ‘sexual’ relationship! I’m kidding, I really do hope you’re having a wonderful first Christmas in Bayview and I might be a little happy you decided to make your way there in the first place. 

So let’s get to the good stuff, shall we? I know wrapping up the show has been a bit bittersweet for you and I thought this might be a good place to store a few trinkets that remind you of that overly handsome lot you’ve been working with so that any time you’re feeling a little down about missing them, you can just sneak a peek and be right back there, for the moment at least. My mum told me you always get a woman chocolate, so there’s chocolate for you. If you’re like allergic or something, please blame my mum! And since you’re so far from home, I thought I nice little reminder that you could wear around with you might be in order. And lastly, but again since you’re so far from home, something to keep that pretty little head (and fingers) warm for the winter. 

Thanks for putting up with me, I don’t know how you do it, but I’m going to assume this is my first Christmas miracle. Merry Christmas Claire!

For my brother from another mother, I’m shite at this okay, so just bear with me. I know you’re going to look at this book and think ‘why is Rahul getting me a romance novel’ but mate, I swear, it’s a cookbook. Just a fairly romantic one and I figured since you do the majority of the cooking at home and you’re about to tie the knot, it would probably come in handy. The hair and body wash is two-fold - anyone with a mane like that must take good care of it, so I thought I’d give you a hand. Secondly though, you’re on the road a lot and one bottle is better than three, right? I also thought you might like this beanie and mitts - totally tech friendly, with bluetooth headphones so you can keep your noggin warm and still rock out while on your runs. Lastly, just a little taste of home, because we’re British and need to remind people of that all the fucking time, yeah? 

Merry Christmas, mate, I hope you and your man have an amazing holiday and that 2018 is good to you both!

Merry Christmas Hayley, I hope you’re having a wonderful time with your family. Santa wanted to make sure you got a few things that we thought you might like but also to say thank you for being the awesome person that you. 

First up is vegetarian cookbook that according to Santa’s elves is a must have for anyone skipping meat. The next two are devoted to your love of all things Tommy/Peaky Blinders. First a hoodie, because while it’s cool, it’s also practical given Bayview’s weather this time of year. And also a charm bracelet - none of this means anything to me yet (I promise I will watch it soon!) but I’m assuming you’ll know what all the little pieces mean. I - I mean Santa - thought it was both fun and pretty, just like you! Merry Christmas, love!

I figure the whole lot of you are on Santa’s naughty list this year, so I decided to help you out a little bit and do something charitable on your behalf. Luckily, it’s kind of cool - the winning prize of each card is one of our four basic needs gifts: literacy tools, clean water, nutritious meals or solar energy. The game is the same as a typical scratch off ticket, but you must match icons (instead of numbers). Flip the card over to learn more about the winning donation. Every card is a winner and either gives clean water, solar light, literacy tools or nutritious meals. YOu’re welcome, you wankers! Have a Merry Christmas!
