[ The image is that of young man with longish white hair that's been pulled back in a low ponytail. Seventeen or eighteen maybe, with a bright red mark on his face that looks somewhere between a scar and a tattoo as much as it stems from a mark that's also halfway between a star or an inverted pentagram. Garishly out of place on an otherwise pale and muted complexion and gentle face. ]

With a lot of the city shut down because of the snow, if there's anyone having trouble finding food or shelter, Sanctuary in Crenshaw will be helping whoever it can. It might not be much, but it can be a meal or warm bed for the night. [ And hope everyone likes fish, because there's a lot of that that's been salted and stockpiled. But also a lot of baked things served with some of the corruption-cleansing jams from earlier in the year.

Which, anyone who already volunteers there... you can bet you were already cheerfully accosted and asked to help, soup kitchen style. ♥ It's a team effort. ✧ Either that or clearing snow; it's a big place... albeit warm itself this month, and shining like a jewel from the lunar lighting and heating within. The renovated Moon Presence monastery seems to be taking the blindingly bright bone moon and reflecting it back in a gentler manner for anyone inside. ]

There isn't a cost. Just try to help out however you can when you're able.

[ He pauses, about to leave it at that but hesitating. Expression still neutrally polite and composed, but... flickering for a moment. ]

...if anyone would like to help closer to when Christmas would normally be, it'd be nice to do something special for the orphanage as well. Maybe donate some presents for them. 

[ That's it. He'll just quietly leave it at that. ]

[sansa laughs gently.]

I wouldn't know. I only know about Santa because Raleigh told me a little about the Land of Always Winter on his world. I didn't even know he had anything to do with Christmas. Do they often write letters to him?

[it is theoretically an earth tradition, and allen is from an earth...she pauses, considering.]

I think they make wreaths for Dorothea.

[that is really all she's heard about december traditions...also something about the curse of a very stupid hunter, but that seems less to do with the holidays.]

Once a year, to ask for what they want in terms of presents. [ Said gently and neutrally. After all, most of these traditions... they're ones he understands and saw, but never was part of. ]

It's just a tradition though. A fun story encouraging people to be good and to give children someone kind and larger than life to believe in. [ He blinks, and smiles then. Tapping a finger thoughtfully against his lip. ]

People would dress up as him to hand out presents sometimes. Especially for the less fortunate.
