@Harrypotter19 Just call me Kris. Or St. Nick. Or Santa! And you would be...Mr. Harry Potter.

[Kris N. Kringle @KrisNKringle]

@nnoony No one's too young--or too old--to hear about me!

[Kris N. Kringle @KrisNKringle]

And let's give @SeverusSSnape his present for tonight...

[Kris N. Kringle @KrisNKringle]

Making a list and checking it twice...

[Kris N. Kringle @KrisNKringle]

@SeverusSSnape *leaves a certain antique plate of treats from the missus, along with a note tied with blue and white ribbons*

[Kris N. Kringle @KrisNKringle]

@nnoony No? Why not?

[Kris N. Kringle @KrisNKringle]

I think I'll do a bit of quick repairing to this toy boat, then send it to @TheRoXFiles next. Let's see what she does with it.

[Kris N. Kringle @KrisNKringle]

...so. You want to play hardball, @SeverusSSnape? Much obliged. We'll play *hardball.*

[Kris N. Kringle @KrisNKringle]

Let me get it out of there with the fire poker... There. And let me get a better look at it...

[Kris N. Kringle @KrisNKringle]

What the... what's this mess of broken, unburnt wood in my fireplace?

[Kris N. Kringle @KrisNKringle]

Ho ho ho! Merry... hubba-wha?

[Kris N. Kringle @KrisNKringle]

@SeverusSSnape That's it. I've made my decision. I'm going to make an exception of you--and I'd better hurry. Ta!

[Kris N. Kringle @KrisNKringle]

@SeverusSSnape I think that's why he and I get along so well. We know that we're two of a kind in that way. Kindred spirits, as it were.

[Kris N. Kringle @KrisNKringle]

@SeverusSSnape I suspect @HippieAlbus is the same way. He knows who he is, yet everyone thinks he's perfection personified.

[Kris N. Kringle @KrisNKringle]

@SeverusSSnape I never promised anyone that I was any kind of saint. That is a title that's been bestowed upon me by others long ago.

[Kris N. Kringle @KrisNKringle]

@SeverusSSnape I owe you an apology, Severus. I see that now. I should have known better--much better--than to give you that "present."

[Kris N. Kringle @KrisNKringle]

@SeverusSSnape I see. And...and, er...how do you spend Christmas now? You never go back home if you can help it, if I remember correctly.

[Kris N. Kringle @KrisNKringle]

@SeverusSSnape What? Of course not! Severus, haven't you ever celebrated Christmas before?

[Kris N. Kringle @KrisNKringle]

@SeverusSSnape Lumps of coal are *so*...1649. Better to booby-trap the presents in case anyone tries celebrating Christmas too soon!

[Kris N. Kringle @KrisNKringle]

@SeverusSSnape Well, that's what you get for opening it on Christmas! Now you'll never know what was really in that little red box!
