Sixth Flake [video]

[defyingfrigidity]

[Elsa looks a lot more subdued than usual - especially compared to her last video - when she begins recording, staring out the window of the little apartment she and Anna had begun renting for their stay in Goldenrod. It's snowing, this time with no help from her, and she's just watching the flakes drift lazily past.]

I know this may sound like an odd question, but... how do you go about celebrating things you haven't really acknowledged in a very long time? Birthdays, holidays, things like that... It feels strange to just go ahead and do it and act like the lack of celebrations in years past never happened. Wrong, almost, to completely dismiss such a long amount of time like that.

It seems rather difficult to make a special event even more special. Does that make sense at all?

[She's not even thinking about her own upcoming birthday (on the 21st!) at all. But Christmas is coming up... the first Christmas in thirteen years that the sisters will be spending together. She wants Anna's first real Christmas since she was five to be perfect, or at least as perfect as Elsa can make it. She just... has no idea how to do that.]

You could always coordinate with others to ease the burden of responsibility. [ She encourages her to do this, to open up to others and to let them help without outright saying it that way. ] The result is the same in the end.

Everyone is pleased with themselves.

I suppose... though I'm still not sure what sort of help I should be looking for. I know good parties always have music, food, and decorations... but is that really all?

[Plus, she's still not sure if she wants to make this a thing with people other than her and Anna. Still, it's a good thing to keep in mind for the future, so talking about it more can't hurt...]

Food is often the big thing here. If many people can bring their own favorite dishes, then you can share a little in their culture. [ That and Saber just really likes food, sorry Elsa. ] It is less of a burden on you to provide and everyone is pleased for the most part.

As for other things... you seem to have the basic gist of it down. Music, decorations, perhaps some games that could be played for those young at heart.
