Dugal Dugal: Yeah-llo?
Guise Dugal: Dugs, it’s me I need you t…Dugs…?
Dugal: Yeah?
Guise: …Dugs…what is that ungodly mess behind you?
Dugal: Ooh, yeah, I’ve been wrapping Christmas presents!
Guise: Christmas Presents?!
Dugal: Christmas…you know, Feliz Navidad, Mele Kalikimaka, Giant Bunny God Day, Chrimbo, Xmas, Santa Loot Day…
Guise: Yeah, I understand Christmas presents, but not that mess, how the hell could you cause all that discarded gift wrap with the stuff we bought?
Dugal: No, no…those are the presents, I wrapped them, I tol’ ya!
Guise: But they look terrible…
Dugal: Hey, you try cutting paper right when you’re only allowed blunt, round-ended safety scissors. Piss-vagi…
Guise: [interrupting] Wii-kun!
Dugal: Yeah, him…wouldn’t even let me get nail clippers. It’s worse than airport security, at least there they make up for taking pointy objects by giving you a free feel up.
Guise: Stoppit, too much info…but, you’ve done all the wrapping of everything?
Dugal: Well, not just me…
[Dugal reaches arm out and drag a small boy, looking similar to Guise and Dugs in to view]
Dugal: …this is, um, boy…actually, I don’t know his name…and I haven’t decided what to call him…”Oi, you” works, so does “boy” and “kid”, but I was looking for something a little better…
Guise: We are not keeping some random kid you found…
Dugal: “Shota” is a good name, right?
Guise: We are definately not keeping some random kid you found…and then called SHOTA!!
Dugal: “Pit”…
Guise: Oh, sure…like I don’t know where you are going there…
Dugal: But he’s like the inner child…conceived at the joy of Halloween and born from excitement of Christmas…
Guise: You flunked bio, bad…
Dugal: Please can we keep him, he’s so handy….look
[refocuses image to show boy]
Guise: Dugal?! Why is that boy covered in slivers of sticky tape?! Make it a good reason!!
boy: I was a-helpin’, Wii-san helped me cut tape and then we needed to put it somewhere safe…
Guise: Wii-kun stuck the tape to you?!
Dugal: Actually, that was my idea…cos then he could be involved, be like a family thing…
boy: imma good help’r, onee-san? ^__^
Dugal: The bestest, kid!
Guise: …this is why I don’t go out much… -_-;;
Dugal: Yeah, where you at anyway…?
Guise: Well, that’s the thing, you ever heard of “Arcano”?

Some stuff needs to go abroad, so it needs to get wrapped now or it’ll never get posted. Some stuff is for a Secret Santa office thing before everyone goes on holiday – yeah, I’m working all the way up to Christmas Eve, bleh. Some stuff is because otherwise my brother will find it.
The rest is because if I don’t do it now, I’ll not be bothered later.
I have an excuse for being efficient…efficiency feels wrong.

OH HO, and you call me a child abductor! XD If you guys aren’t gonna utilize him correctly (ie make him do housework) then he’s coming home with ME. XD
Don’t forget to wrap some of the presents in multiple layers of duct tape and plastic wrap, with layers of newspaper and packing tape. That’s how Allan wraps gifts and lord knows it certainly keeps people out, or at the very least busy for a few hours. ^^
