[Dolores will find a red scarf, gloves... and a pair of earmuffs left her for in a small box. There's no indication where or who it came from, but it's got her name on it!
Literally. Her name is embroidery into the scarf.]
[ It's a grey day, drizzling off and on — still mild enough to go outside, but just rainy enough to be gloomy... and Camilo's bored out of his skull. He hasn't seen anyone since breakfast, and feels he's spent officially enough time on his own just trying to busy his attention.
When the house is unusually quiet like this and he has too much free time, and the certain mood strikes him, he sometimes sneaks into Pepa's room to relax alone. Dolores is probably the only one who realizes he does this sometimes, surely having heard him on a couple occasions, but all he does in there is just lie on Pepa's loveseat, where their mother often reads to calm down, herself, and either plays on his phone, naps, or reads a book from her bookshelf. It mostly consists of mediocre romance novels... but that's exactly the kind of mind-numbing thing he seeks on days like this.
Except now his mind is too numb, having blown through an entire book in two days out of sheer boredom. It wasn't even that good. He wants to do something, go somewhere, but he's tired of being alone. He's not as great at being alone as others in their family are, truth be told... So: logically, naturally, it's time to bug Dolores to hang out. ]
[ Luisa had been asleep for three days, but she had somehow managed to miss so much.
Isabela was gone. She hadn't noticed when she'd been awake, had thought that maybe her older sister had just been doing her own thing, but there was no trace of her anywhere anymore.
So after her conversation with Mirabel and after Luisa had cleaned up and had gotten ready for the day, she feels a little...lost. She wanted to go out and look for Isa, but no one else had seen or heard from her. What if there really isn't anything left to find.
After a while of feeling unsure though, Luisa eventually finds her way up to Dolores' room. After all, she and Mirabel may miss their sister, but Isabela and Dolores had always been close too.
She can't help looking across the way for a moment though, a pang in her heart seeing Isabela's door so dark, before turning back and knocking on Dolores'. ]

[ Alberto makes a point to get gifts for all the Madrigals (even the rats — especially the rats); even without Bruno here anymore, they're still the closest he's ever had to a family. Of course they all get gifts. One day when he's come over to Casita with Luisa's standing invitation to visit the rats in Bruno's tower on his own, he does sneak some gifts over for everyone. He's learned a lot about Christmas, in part with Isabela's guidance on some traditions, and he's trying his best to observe what he's heard about. Presents are supposed to be surprises opened on Christmas morning, that much he's got — so he doesn't make any fanfare about dropping off the gifts. They're all wrapped poorly but with clear effort. Likewise, the Christmas cards attached are, well— much the same... But it's very much the thought that counts. And the effort — he put a lot of effort into all his gifts, being that it's his first Christmas ever. He wants to do this right.
And he feels pretty confident he did. Because he recently discovered Shrinky Dinks. It's a shrinky, dinky Christmas for all Alberto's friends. Inside Dolores' parcel, she'll find a collection of handmadeearrings, shrink film drawings glued onto bases made of hardened hot glue. Unpolished, sure, but it serves its purpose — and the artistic intent counts for a lot. He even tried to render a crude semblance of La Casa Madrigal for the one pair! He doesn't know Dolores as well as the others in her family yet, but he's already quite fond of her, and her wise words in their time spent together have had more resonance than she knows; and so, like the rest of her family, her kindness is rewarded with Alberto's... thoughtful... artwork... ]
