Dear Diary,

Hi, my name is Medusa Gorgon! I'm six years old right now, and today it's Christmas!

I sure do like Christmas, even though Mother doesn't like to celebrate it. She says that it's pointless for witches to celebrate such happy days. That also reminds me, I'm a witch!

I have two sisters too. There's my big sister Arachne and my little sister Crobina. I don't like Arachne though. She's so mean to us (Crobina and myself) and says things like we'll never be good witches. What does she know? I'll be just as good of a witch as anyone!

Anyway, (I've really gotta stop veering off the subject) today there was so much snow! It wasn't icy like usual. It was puffy and wet. I threw a snowball at Arachne, and boy, was she angry! She threw one back at me, and soon we were having an all out snowball fight! Even Crobina threw some snowballs, and she's really shy!

Crobina is really scared of something, I just don't know what. It may be Arachne. She's really strict. Or maybe it's Mother. Mother follows the Witch Guidelines like crazy! I sure hope Crobina isn't scared of me. I try to act nice to her and other witches, but Mother always scolds me for doing so. She says it's bad to get into the habit of being nice because if I do, people will step on me and treat me badly.

Jeez, I just don't know how to stay on topic! I guess Mrs. Loup will have to teach me that. I'd tell you about Mrs. Loup, but I don't want to distract myself!

It was sort of strange for Mother to suddenly decide to celebrate Christmas. After all, every witch knows that there's no such thing as Jesus. Mabaa-sama herself said so! I guess it was just something witches decided to start up and keep going. I heard one witch, Ms. Forntida Bov even wrote the human Bible.

Fake birthing aside, I got some really nice presents from Mother! I got a really nice black hoodie, some strawberry pocky, and you! You're really nice to me. I hope we'll be friends for a long time!

Aw shoot. That crabby Arachne is badgering me to get to bed. I guess I'll talk to you tomorrow!

Love,

Medusa

P.S.: Can I call you Victor? You have an arrow across the front of you, and I thought about vectors. This reminds me, I really like snakes! Is that odd? Arachne says it isn't…but I'm just not sure…
