Air guitar!
Okay... A little further...
S-Sis, you sure can do this?
I can do it!
All done!
See, I wonder if Santa's gonna come this year?
I'd forget to do my homework and wouldn't finish my lunch sometimes...
I haven't been very good, so I'm afraid maybe he won't come.
May I get presents!
It will be okay, Sis I know it.
Santa will bring you lots and lots of presents, you see.
I think you should try making a wish, too, Ui!
May there be a White Christmas this year!
Um, what's a White Christmas?
It's a Christmas morning when snow has fallen and made everything really pretty and white!
Ui! Ui!
Hurry, hurry!
Sis, wait up!
Ta-dah!
It's a White Christmas!
Big Sis, what is this?
It's stuffing from a cushion!
Our parents scolded Sis really badly that day.
Ui, what's so funny?
I really hope we'll have another fun Christmas together this year!

It sure has gotten cold.
Ui, shouldn't you be wearing your scarf?
Mm-hm, but I guess it blew away when I washed it and hung it out to dry last year.
Thank you, Big Sis.
Nice and warm, nice and warm.
Hey, what happened to your other mitten?
I lost it somewhere.
Nice and warm, nice and warm.
Christmas!
Check it out!
I made a flyer for our Christmas party!
Huh? We decided that we were gonna have a Christmas party?
I did. But I didn't tell anyone.
You should have!
The date: December 24th Christmas Eve. The place: Mugi's house. Cover charge: ten dollars.
Sorry, that really isn't a good day for our house.
Yeah, I was kind of afraid of that.
The schedule at our house is always packed this time of year.
You have to make arrangements at least a full month in advance.
I'm truly sorry.
R-Really you don't say.
That's some house.
Ritsu, what about your house?
No! No, forget that.
Ritsu's place is so messy there's nowhere for you to stand.
Excuse me?!
You're one to talk. Your room has dirty clothes tossed everywhere.
Even panties.
Hey, don't make up garbage about me!
I have plenty of pictures as proof.
You big liar!
It's the absolute truth!
Pan pastries... Pun-tease?!
More where that came from!
Stop it! Please, stop it!
Hey, Yui, how about your house?
I don't see why not.
Yeah! Score!
But are you sure it'll be okay for a big group to come over on Christmas Eve?
Mm-hm. Mom and dad are both gonna be away on vacation that day.
Hey, they were gone when we were there last time, too.
Yeah, they like to travel a lot together. They said they're going to Germany this year.
What a lovey-dovey couple!
Is there anything that the three of us can bring?
Just leave all the food to me!
Are you sure about that?
Yeah, no problem!
'Cause Ui will be making at all.
Good thing she has such a mature sister.
Oh, that's right!
There's one more thing. Let's have a present exchange!
Yeah! Let's do it!
Great idea!
Don't bring anything weird, Mio, okay?
Huh? That's what you do.
Like that time back in grade school.
One-trick pony.
What? Are you some kind of comedian?
No, are you?
I can't wait! Christmas party.
Do you wanna come to the Light Music Club Christmas party, Nodoka?
Uh, are you sure? I'm not a club member.
Don't worry. It's fine.
I mean we're all friends here after all.
The more people that come to the party, the more money we'll have to spend.
What are you planning on doing with it.
Can you come, Nodoka-chan?
Mm-hm.
Yay!
So that's the whole deal. I hope we can count on you.
Of course, I'll be chipping in and help out.
Just leave everything to me.
But, uh...
If she hurt herself helping me, that would be terrible.
I would like you to handle the decorations, please?
Roger that, ma'am!
What are you gonna do at your Christmas party, anyway?
Eat cake, trade presents... You know, all like Christmassy kind of stuff.
Also each of us will do a party trick!
Party tricks, huh? I wonder what I should do?
Oh, wow, you're really giving it a lot of thought.
Don't worry, I'm sure I'll think of something.
And I'm gonna have to go and get a present, too!
Oh, you're right. I'll have to go buy one, too!
What do you think would be good?
This is so cute!
Oh, Nodoka-chan, I really really want this!
You know, normally you have to go again if you draw your own name.
Guess I'll go with this, then.
Uh...
Ritsu, made up your mind yet?
How's this?
Absolutely not!
How about this, then?
Or how about this?!
Why do you always try to get stuff like that?!
Yes, I finally decided!
Oh, hey, you guys! You came to do a little gift shopping, too, huh?
So, what did you buy?
Well, if we told you that, it would just spoil all of the fun.
Guess you're right.
Oh, hey! Ta-da! ta-da! ta-dah!
We're on our way over to the raffle drawing.
Really, so are we!
Come to mama.
I won more tissues?
We have a winner! Our top prize!
Here you go. Congratulations!
Mugi-chan?
You're all out shopping, too?
Did you just win?
A trip to Hawaii, I think.
What is it with her amazing luck?!
But I turned the prize down.
Why?!
I wanted this instead. So I asked them to exchange it.
We should all play it together on Christmas.
Mm-hm.
Now then, what should I make?
And what trick should I do?
Book: An Introduction to Oneshot Performances
Big Sis, what happened here?
Oh, Ui...
I thought you were cleaning the place up.
I couldn't help myself.
Those look delicious!
Hey, don't eat those, Big Sis.
Don't worry. I won't sneak any bites!
I said I wouldn't!
It's like we're playing "Red light, green light" or something.
Come on, Sis, stop fooling around.
You haven't done any decorating at all yet, so you'd better hurry.
Huh.
Snip, snip!
You mean you're just getting started?!
Merry Christmas!
Come in!
Hey-yo!
Yui, we're here!
Hey, everyone! Come on in!
What are you doing?
I couldn't bring myself to stop once I got started.
What are you, a grade schooler?
Here, let me take your coats.
Oh, right. Thanks a lot, Ui.
A hard working little sister,
and a goofball big sister...
It's the perfect setup for a sad soap opera.
Wow, this food is amazing!
You made all this, Ui-chan?
Don't be rude! I made some, too!
Look at this cake!
That's awesome!
I put all the strawberries on top!
Hey, return the "Awesome!" I just said!
Not right?
Um, well, Big Sis worked really hard on all sort of things today.
For instance, she tried to clean the house and tried to put up the decorations.
And she... Um...
She's really trying to stand up for her.
We get it. We're sorry.
Nodoka-chan says that she's going to be late,
so let's go ahead and have a toast!
Mm-hmm.
The airhead older sister and the admirable little sister...
I suppose that's got to make for a pretty good team.
Cheers!
Oh, wow, that's yet another year done and gone!
Sheesh, you sound like an old man.
Miss Yamanaka?!
These are delicious. Can I have another helping?
When did she get here?!
Don't tell me she climbed in with a rope!
And then she snuck in.
Through an open window?!
Not really. Who do you think I am, anyway?
Honestly, what sort of club forgets to invite their faculty advisor?
Um, well, "forget" isn't exactly what I call it.
We didn't ask you because we assumed you had plans with your boyfriend.
How dare you say that! How dare you say that!
Foolish types are scary.
How dare you say that!
Huh.
For punishment, I want you to change into this, Yui.
Why in the world would you bring something like that with you?
Ta-dah!
Not working. You're just not feeling quite enough shame.
Yes, this calls for...
There's no escape!
Come back here!
No!
Hello?
Quit your struggling!
I'm sorry. I have the wrong house.
It's the right house! Help me!
No one will ever wanna marry me now...
High schoolers sure lead amazing lives!
To get this party back on track, I think we should have our gift exchange!
Yeah!
High schoolers change moods at the drop of a hat!
But what about you, ma'am?
Oh, don't worry. I brought something, too.
To be honest, I had planned to give this present to my boyfriend today, if we were still together...
Way to drag us down...
All right, then, let's get started, guys!
Uh, sure...
The one you have when the song ends is yours.
Here.
Jingle bells! Here!
Jingle bells! Here you go!
It's like she's losing it.
Jingle all the way!
Aren't Christmas gift exchanges supposed to be more fun than this?
Oh, what fun it is to ride,
in a one horse open sleigh, yay!
No one will ever wanna marry me...
Jingle bells, Jingle bells, Jingle all the way...
I'm getting dizzy...
Oh, what fun it is to ride, In a one horse open sleigh... yeah!
This may be the most exciting Christmas I've ever had!
That's all!
This is the one that I brought to the party.
Oh, no problem. We'll trade!
Miss Yamanaka!
Something is telling me that whatever is inside here is amazing!
Oh, let's see what we have!
Oh, yeah! This is the best Christmas I've ever had!
She's gone crazy!
Stay calm, everyone.
I'm sorry. I'll never do it again!
Merry Christmas! Happy Christmas!
I'm sure something good is in store for you!
Merry Christmas! Happy Christmas!
Oh, that's the present that I brought to the party.
Oh, that's from me.
Nodoka, it's Christmas, not year-end.
Wow, these look tasty. You're so lucky...
Oh yes, that's the one that I brought.
Wait a minute! You were gonna give that to your boyfriend for Christmas?
I was! So pardon me for breathing!
Foolish types are scary...
I think the only ones who haven't opened their presents are Yui-chan and Ui-chan right?
Would you hurry up and open now.
Y-Yes, ma'am!
I got that because you lost your scarf!
I got that because I remembered that you lost your mitten!
I'm just wondering what are you two would've done if you hadn't ended up with each other's presents?
So sweet!
Thank you, Ui!
Mm, and thank you very much, Big Sis. Winter will seem almost warm when I wear it.
Right! Now, it's time for each of us to do a party trick!
Way to ruin a perfectly good moment, Ritsu...
Hey, you wanna go first, Mio?
Uh, she's pretty old-school...
Yui, then!
Who, me? I'm not...
I'll go! I'd like to go first!
What? Really?
Hello, everyone! Merry Christmas!
Is everyone having a good time?
I'm sorry, this is all that I can do.
Did you practice?
I did! Big Sis said that we would be having a talent contest today.
Huh? You thought I was serious?
You mean you weren't?
I'm sorry, Ui...
That's okay, don't worry about it.
Now I'll go!
Air guitar!
Yeah, then I'll play air drums!
Mio-chan really pushed herself.
I'll do an impression!
W-What's that?
My impression of a sunfish!
Okay, now, I'm going next!
A maple leaf!
Who is this women, and what did she do with my sweet Miss Yamanaka?
Thank you for having us over!
Boy, it sure is cold, Ui...
Look! It's snow!
Wow, you're right!
It looks like we're gonna have a White Christmas!
You know, Sis, you once gave me a White Christmas as a present and I loved it. You remember?
Today sure was fun...
Ui... Ui, can I come in?
Big Sis?
You mind if I sleep with you?
Mm-hmm.
I'm gonna wear these to bed tonight. 'Cause they're so warm.
Then maybe I'll wear my brand new scarf to bed. 'Cause it's warm, too.
Come on, Big Sis, I'm freezing.
Hey, I'm gonna start dusting, Big Sis. You wanna help?
The New Year's Countdown about to start! Mt. Fuji...
Here's your New Year's Eve noodles.
Whoa!
You said two mochi with your soup, right?
Uh-huh.
Why not?! I can't take the thought of the same old gags from you for another year!
I peeled some tangerines.
And that's how I spent my holiday.
Give me Ui-chan!
Those two are quite a pair, aren't they?
But won't you get fat, doing nothing but eating and sleeping?
Oh, no. I never ever gain weight no matter how much I eat.
No way!
That can't be!
You, too, Mugi-chan?
Mugi, how much weight did you put on?
...pounds.
I gained ...pounds.
Just to be safe, you should apologize.
I'm so sorry!
Mio-chan, you dressed up really nice today!
Just 'cause Ritsu asked me if I was going to.
I was just asking!
Wha-What?!
I guess things won't be much different this year, huh, Mio-chan?
I'm gonna go change!
Wait! You should keep them on! You look cute!
Uh, think so?
I sure do!
Oh, now I'm seeing something amazing this year, too!
You haven't changed one bit, either.
Miss Yamanaka?
Wow, look at this!
Looks like she hasn't changed, either.
So, what did you guys pray for?
For my family's health and safety.
I asked for help loosing weight.
I asked to be able to eat lots and lots of yummy food!
Hey, we should all pray for the Light Music Club, too.
May we all get better at playing our music.
May we all continue to have lots of fun together.
May we all be able to eat lots of the great cakes that Mugi-chan brings to the-- Ow!
May I become more proficient at the guitar.
Right!
Wanna grab something to eat on the way home?
Please don't talk about food!
You really never gain any weight, Yui?
Please don't say "you are lazy,"
because I am actually crazy
The swans are actually
kicking their legs
hard out
of sight
Being true and sincere to my instincts,
I accept that I'll be tossed around
The path ahead looks bright
That's why I
take rests
sometimes
If there's a shortcut, it's the easy way out
If I have wings to use, then it'll be the best
Crap, I broke a nail!
I'll fix it with glue
That's enough to give me
a sense of achievement
What's important is to take good care of yourself
If you can't love yourself, then you can't love someone else
Please
don't
say
you
are
because
you
are
actually
Capable
hawks
hide their picks out of sight
I try to use my imagination,
but reality is a bitch
I'm still just learning,
so I'll be out of pitch sometimes
