( Once upon a time this would have been a long description of what she's going to be doing.
Then she realized she had to send this to a whole bunch of people, so she got lazy, and: )
Hey, I'm going to take up a missionary position in France! See you again in about a month. Hopefully the snow's not all gone by then! Also be careful teaching Rin survival skills in the snow, I bet hug a tree is going to be a modern day sensation!
Uh, I think it's basically you get lost in the wilderness in the winter, you hug a tree and keep warm by it and drink melted snow from what you get from it so you don't get more lost, and you like, make a bright flag for people to see when they want to find you!
[A handwritten letter arrives at Gin's residence. The writing is flowing but legible cursive, but the writer periodically switches between red and green ink, and it is decorated with drawings of snakes.
It's a Christmas greeting, all right.]
Dearest Gin,
You are most cordially invited to a celebration of family, friendship, forgiveness, and estrangement on December 17th from 3:00PM, or earlier, until whenever we feel like stopping, at [the address for the warehouse]. This season mustn't pass by without a grand affair full of of food and gift-giving, in the best of Christmas traditions.
Oh, but you don't have to bring gifts. There won't be any set gift-giving time. Besides, do you really want to give your friends presents so early? It's far better to make them wait until the 25th. Patience is an important quality to learn for the winter months. Of course, I'll prepare the food, unless you wish to contribute some. Please keep any amount of arsenic in food below fatal levels for human children!
In the spirit of Christmas and all ritualistic holidays designed to prepare communities for defence against a harsh winter of dangerous weather and low quantities of food, you are invited to bring anyone you feel like. While more people is a greater strain on resources, the contribution of any individual to the group balances that out with the warmth and love provided. Let's gather together and avoid a cruel death in the months to come.
Hoping for your presence and survival, your friend, Christopher Chareau de Red
[post is here, tag in at your leisure or handwave or excuse yourself however you like!]
[At some point between the beginning of the 24th and the end of the 25th, Christopher delivers (handed off in person or left at a doorstep) a Christmas gift: persimmon cookies, bagels(?? such things exist), and cakes. It is given with all the best Christmas wishes from a friend.]
[There is a box here, if he opens it, he, will find like 40 danishes, in different flavours. Also cookies.
And a card.]
Dear Gin,
I hope these will take care of any cravings you might have for the next little while. Don't worry, they won't go bad for quite a long time, either. Enjoy.

But then he just decides who cares.]
Hm? We don't have that where I'm from I think. Explain it to me.

What he is going to do: make her drink snow.]
You don't say? Maybe I'll start with the snow part then, since it's the part she'll probably object to most.
You know, to get it out of the way.
For her sake.

AI is prepped for travel as well, and should be waiting in one of the drives by the computers.
Be safe.
