Jolyne? Mmmmm. If you haven't spoken to her a lot, you'll want to stick to something that isn't too personal; otherwise it might get her feeling kinda freaked out about it, you know?

I was going to say something like cookies, but giftcards never go wrong~
And actually that is...exactly what I REALLY need your help with!
I want to have some more authentic foods for you and the others- Jolyne's relatives came from Italy, but er...I wouldn't say they cook like they're in Italy, if that makes sense? We'll have a bit of American-Italian foods, but since it's the first real Christmas all together, I really really want to make sure there's something from home for everyone!
Especially since if I'm being honest, Japan uh. Well, our thing is getting KFC.
Well, I'd be more than happy to provide some recipes and, well, to tell you the truth, I'd actually like to assist in preparations. You're going to need a lot, after all.
Oh gee, I mean I figured with four more it'd be a lot, but I was thinking I'd need more help just sorting out the recipes really...There's reading one and then there's getting it right you know?
Ooooh great, great~ If you can send them with estimated material needs, I can go stock up too~
Oh, and if there's anything you think I should be decorating the place with, feel free to let me know- I've got the standard tree and tinsel set up ready to go but, well. Y'know.
[He'll go ahead and send over those recipes, in that case! With his notes on ingredient substitutions, including which meat substitutes to get for what.]
As for the matter of decorations... I'm honestly not certain. We didn't exactly go all-out for the holiday back home. We had a tree we'd put up and decorate on the 8th of December and a small nativity scene, but that was about it, and I'm not exactly suggesting the latter.

At least that handles what I was having trouble with.
While we're on the topic, is there anything you want me to bring for Christmas in terms of food or the like?

Date: 2022-11-30 12:13 pm (UTC)And at least some of the issues are just more or less along the lines of "back home this was a local product".

Date: 2022-11-30 12:16 pm (UTC)Oh geeze there's no way we're matching local though.

Date: 2022-11-30 12:22 pm (UTC)And no, we're definitely not, but I've found a few things already that can manage "close enough".
