25 December – A Surprise Arrives at the Ameliæ Escadrille Ærodrome

"What is it?"

"Yeah, what is it?"

"It's a box, silly!"

"It's a big box!"

"It's a big silly box!"

"Is there anything in it?"

"I don't know! Maybe!"

"Yeah, maybe there's something in the box!"

"What could it be?"

"Maybe it's... a present!"

"Oooh!"

"Oooooooh!"

"Oooooooooooohhh!"

"A present!"

"Yay! Presents!"

"Not presents! A present! Just one present!"

"No... just one box... but it might have LOTS of presents inside!"

"Presents for ALL of us! YAY!"

"Wait! If this box is a present, it should be wrapped in pretty wrapping paper!"

"So it's not a present?"

"But I want a present!"

"I want a present, too!"

"Me too! I want a present!"

"If we WRAP the box, then the box will BE a present!"

"Or a gift. The box could be a gift!"

"But it's not wrapped, so it's not a present. Or a gift."

"Let's wrap it, then!"

"Yeah, let's wrap the box!"

"Let's GIFTwrap the box! Then the box will be a GIFT! Which is almost like a present!"

"Somebody get scissors!"

"We'll get the scissors!"

"Somebody get some tape!"

"I'll get some tape!"

"Somebody find some wrapping paper!"

"We'll find some wrapping paper!"

"We have the wrapping paper!"

"Is it GIFT wrapping paper?"

"Or PRESENT wrapping paper?"

"It's BOTH!"

"YAY!"

"We found the scissors!"

"Gift wrapping paper cutting scissors!"

"To cut the gift wrapping paper!"

"So we can wrap the gift!"

"So we'll have a present!"

"I found some tape!"

"Tape? Why do we need tape?"

"Didn't somebody say for somebody to find some tape?"

"Oh, yeah, somebody said for somebody to find some tape!"

"To tape the paper to the present!"

"Because if there's no wrapping paper on the present then it's not really a present!"

"And that's why we need the tape!"

"Ohhhh... that's why we need the tape!"

"Put the paper on the box!"

"You have to cut it first!"

"Cut the box? It's too big to cut!"

"No, the paper! Cut the paper!"

"And then tape the paper to the box!"

"So the box can be a present!"

"We still have some paper left!"

"Put the paper on the box!"

"We still have some tape left!"

"Put the tape on the paper that's on the box!"

"Then will it be a present?"

"No, it will just be tape!"

"When will it be a present?"

"It won't be a present. It will just be tape."

"But the tape will be on the present, right?"

"No, the tape will be on the wrapping paper."

"And the wrapping paper will be on the box!"

"And if there is wrapping paper on the box then the box must be a present!"

"PRESENTS! YAY for PRESENTS!"

Okay... that was exhausting.
