I heard you've got eggs and would like to discuss some sort of ongoing trade deal, if you're amenable. Have got baked goods & other food items to offer in exchange.
[The response takes a few days to come back... mostly because she's not checking her mailbox regularly, so she only gets the letters when she remembers to ask Gamzee to check.]

[HEY NERD, GAT'S GETTIN SOME KNIT GOODS TOO. One day Aletheia will find a package inside her treehouse containing a knit scarf in a bright, bright red, as well as a hat with strategic holes for her horns to poke through.
[A book about plant psychics has been neatly wrapped and left in Treewyrm's Mailbox, a note in Sasha's Handwriting simply states 'Happy Holidays'. He figures she might be interested in the subject due to her connection to the trees.]
[Aletheia will be getting her Christmas cookies this year, and like everyone in the Meadous, they get a personalized theme. Her cookies are of various trees and poinsettas. It's a celebration of her special connection to the Trees and the Meadous. Even if he sneaked in a clown cookie in there... Some Erosian traditions are never forgotten, like matchmaking.]
Dear Aletheia,
The year may have been rough on you but you came out stronger in the end. I'm glad you're doing okay and I hope this next year, you'll enjoy life the fullest. Nothing can keep you down!
[Eliza leaves a drawing in Aletheia's mailbox on Christmas Eve. It's a drawing of her sitting in a tree, but she's used the brightest colors she can for the background and scenery, trying to use as many as possible. It's signed with her name and has "Merry Christmas!" on it.]
