[ on Christmas Eve, Jack didn't go to sleep; he probably wouldn't have been able to even if he wanted, with the emotional turmoil he always feels over Christmas, worse than ever now that he's actually met North and can't just hate him anymore. the gut-punch delivered by the "gift" he so stupidly asked the Eudio representatives to send him on the 24th doesn't help either. he wanders instead, and eventually comes back to the treehouse roof to brood.
when Christmas morning dawns, it's with a feeling of dread that Jack approaches the whole day, and that only seems validated when he finds a wrapped present on his bed, a sick feeling rising in him while his stomach drops out — but it's... from Loki. and that doesn't seem so bad, maybe because Loki always seems to understand better when Jack complains about being passed over, or because he knows that Loki absolutely doesn't celebrate Christmas, or because getting a gift from Loki makes him feel kind of giddy.
there's still a bad feeling over it, but it's just exhaustion instead of anger, and he thinks that— maybe he can deal with this one. he's not sure. ]
so i take it you missed the "don't buy jack presents" announcement this month
