[Later in the evening, whether answering a knock on her door (to find no one there) or returning home from wherever she may be, Sakura is going to find a garment box wrapped in festive paper with a bow on it and an envelope taped to the top. The envelope reads "To Sakura. Do not open until Christmas!" If she opens it now or later, this is what she will find:
In the envelope is a card! It's a fairly generic happy holidays card, though the outside and inside have stickers added. On the inside of the card are some cute little doodles of cats or snowmen or reindeer and a note:
Merry Christmas Sakura! I don't know if you'll remember me from the party, but we did some makeover stuff together, and I ate your delicious lasagna! Since you were really nice, I want to make sure that you have a good Christmas! Even though this isn't much, I hope it does a little to brighten your day! And if you're having a bad Christmas, you can call me and I'll stop by and give you a big Christmas hug, and I know that'll definitely make it a little better!
❤ Mabel!
In the thin garment box is...a stocking? Yes! It's a stocking! It's red with gold trimming and glitter covering it, as well as Sakura's name carefully penned in with what looks like glitter fabric paint. Inside this stocking is what you would expect in any stocking. From the toe to the top, it's filled with candy and a variety of smaller items, such as: a very cute purple bunny plush, a set of scratch and sniff food stickers (like...pizza...and hot dogs...), and a little box! Inside this box is an adorable teeeeeeeeeny tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiny kitchen set, including some convincing utensils, a table set, a counter with a coffee pot glued to it, and a little stove!
Lining the top are five candy canes, neatly hooked over the edge so they are just peeking out!]
[Upon finding the package, Sakura is already rather touched, albeit extremely surprised by it. Christmas was never a holiday she really celebrated in full, but even as she looked forward to celebrating it here, she never would've imagined receiving a present from anyone outside of the people she knows closely here, and this definitely wouldn't have been from one of them.
Unfortunately, the next few days go rather poorly for her. By the time Christmas proper rolls around, she's in absolutely no mood to celebrate it. With the sudden and unexplained disappearance of someone very close to her, it's difficult for her to find cheer in anything. It's not until later that day that she even remembers the package she received a few days ago, and it's only with low expectations and idle curiosity that she even bothers opening it. It might be a gift of some sort, but she doubts it could be anything that would cheer her up on this terrible Christmas day.
But if she was touched before just from receiving a gift, it's nothing compared to seeing what's actually inside. The candy and stickers are cute (even if she has no idea where she'd actually use these stickers), and the bunny plush is absolutely adorable. She's delighted by the kitchen set honestly, amazed both by how cute it is and how thoughtful a gift it is. What really does her in though is the card itself; she almost considers taking up Mabel's offer, what with how bad her holiday season has been honestly, but ultimately decides against it. Sakura's grateful enough that a mere acquaintance would put this all together for her, and she doesn't want to put a damper on Mabel's Christmas.
Instead, very early next morning, the next person to open the door of Mabel's home would find a small container of sugar cookies resting against it, along with a envelope simply addressed to the girl herself. The card itself is similarly plain, bereft of any added embellishments, but it also has a small note from Sakura:
Dear Mabel,
Belated Merry Christmas! Thank you so much for your gift. Words can't express how much it brightened my Christmas day, so really, thank you. I know I'm a little late now, but I hope you'll enjoy these cookies nevertheless. Until next time.
