Admiral,

It's good to know Santa's actually an interdimensional space sailor. That said:

➽ David: Freud's Interpretation of Dreams. Let me have it first, to underline the worst parts. Maybe he'll find it funny.
➽ Arkin: Pictures of his daughter. A whole album of them. And home videos, if you can get them.
➽ Ben: The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Oh, the Places You'll Go. The Runaway Bunny. The Tale of Peter Rabbit.
➽ Harvey: A new suit in his colors. And a first edition of East of Eden.
➽ Aeryn: A kind of weapon she's never used before. Something easily concealable. Something she'll like.
➽ Ryan: A walking dog balloon.
➽ Alana: iTunes gift cards. . . . A new sweater. She likes big patterns, so - something floral. And a scarf.
➽ Hannibal: Kale chips.
➽ Slevin: A weapon. Whatever his favorite is.
➽ Ned: A book of knock-knock jokes. The worse the better.
➽ Elena: Something to make her feel pretty.

They peer curiously and/or judgmentally around at everyone about 99% of the time. The other 1%, he puts her up on some high surface and goes to do something else, while she continues to scrutinize the other passengers.]
