Being Santa Claus is hard work…
It’s now officially December (I’m following the Tokyo timeline by the way, so yay me), and with Christmas and New Year’s closing in, everyone’s in the rush to buy presents for the occasion.

If so, why do I feel a sense of interest and humility when I grazed upon Saki, more than everyone going ga-ga and raining K-ON posts all over the world?
