during winter break

[Good lord, you two, get a proper mailbox or something.]

[Not that... it would help in this case. The cardboard box to the side of the door is rather plain, with bright red marker on it declaring it for 9S. Within it will find some sizable stacks of paper, with a simple joker playing card resting atop them. A message is scrawled on it in fairly nice handwriting.]


I was going to get you cookies but I thought you would find this more interesting.

[Also he's not entirely sure 9S really needs to eat...?]

["This" turns out to be what could be understatedly called an essay on winter holidays and the like during his time and in his England. While it's by no means as... eloquently put together as one might expect from an academic (of which Joker is not), it's still extremely insightful. There's plenty of mention of how some of the holiday things are apparently rather recent (as he's heard from people older than him), or the differences between cities vs towns, or even class differences. In fact, he apparently has quite keen awareness of that last part, able to go into depth for both nobility and the poorest of the poor, plus the middle class. Just to lighten things up, he also throws in some carols and popular stories of the time.]

[All of it is written in that same nice and clear handwriting.]
