A/N: this is an AU setting, so no Christmas Bowl here. Hee. Read and Review, Ya-Ha!

Short fact: 12 days of Christmas actually started on the 25th Dec, Christmas itself and ends on the 6th of Jan. But for the sake of the plot, let's just bring the whole thing forward, ok? Go to Wikipedia for more information.

'Hi, You-chan! Tis Kaoru, yer buddy here. Christmas is ard e corner and I'm going to do my civil duties of making sure yer not skipping tis yr celebration. Therefore, I issue u a challenge! The theme will be using one of the Christmas Carols. I've chosen '12 days of Christmas' and both of us are to get each other gifts based on the lyrics of the song.

E.g. a partridge in a pear tree in the 1st paragraph, the items must be in relation to the sentence. Similarly, two turtle doves, means a pair of turtle doves, not any other birds! You can toy with the meaning of the sentence, so long its not too far-fetched. I will start the ball rounding and the starting date is on the 13th of Dec and ends on the eve of X'mas.

It's going to be alternate turns of giving, so all the odd numbers are the areas that I'm suppose to get presents, the even ones are yers. Don't think abt changing them wif me. Since it's still long way till the due date, there is time for the both of us to plan ahead. There will be a forfeit for the loser who can't produce the gifts so if you back out now, YOU FORFEITED!

Ok. That's all for now. Reply back asap. Bye!'
