Greetings everyone,

I hope you all are keeping warm this winter. I am not sure if it was only me or if someone else also experienced this but this morning I awoke to a sweet letter and a thoughtful gift from someone named 'Santa Claus'. I don't know any other means of reaching this person other than using our magical devices we were given. So Mr. Claus, if you are reading this, thank you for the wool cloak and stuffed animal. I don't receive gifts often.

How strange... We have no such figure where I'm from. At least not in my culture. The very idea of showing kindness to anyone would cause one's skin to crawl. So if he visited you as well... is real or imaginary?

it sounds as if you come from a pretty harsh place. receiving gifts can be kind of overwhelming when you're not used to it, right?

hm... it would be nice, to think he was real. maybe he is, in some worlds, and not in others? like gods or magic, it could differ.

Harsh is a rather accurate description of the Underdark. Not all of Faerûn is unforgiving like where I grew up. I would not compare Drow society to those of the Surface races. It's cruel by even Underdark standards. My kin aren't seen in a favorable light by most civilized races so gifts I have received are few and far between.

That is something I'm starting to realize talking with others here. It's all rather fascinating to think about other planes of existence. Or, at least I find it amusing.
