A neatly wrapped package is left at the Nest, addressed to both Greed and Kamora. It's wrapped in plain brown paper and topped with an ornate red ribbon and has some weight to it! Inside is a fancy vintage radio that, upon closer inspection, seems to be inlaid with real gold and bright gemstones. There's a warm, fashionable cat sweater for Kamora as well. It's soft and warm and DEFINITELY came from one of their Heaven raiding escapades.
There's a vintage-style christmas card with a handwritten note inside -- "For my dear friends at the Devil's Nest. It was the most ostentatious thing I could find :) The sweater for Kamora is cashmere, hand wash in cold water only!!! Merry Christmas! - ALASTOR"

[Guess what Greed!!!!
EMPORIO GOT YOU FOR SECRET SANTA.
Naturally he was already getting Greed something, and that means DOUBLE PRESENTS.
Which in itself could well be a present.
The first and long intended gift is...well basically a pile of ghost objects that Emporio thought were neat. They're all pretty unique, albeit largely useless. Knick-knacks, weird toys or figures, etc.
But, being made of ghost, they're also indestructible, so that's cool!
For the secret santa however, Emporio has gone hunting; and the present is a ghost pouch- the card says you can fit many things inside it, just be careful or you'll have trouble getting what you want back OUT- but the pouch itself has a Normal one surrounding it, a bit like a case.
The normal pouch was commissioned to actually match Greed's aesthetic- as Emporio can't really choose what ghost objects look like. The result though is a little hammerspace pouch that matches Greed's look though, so he hopes he likes it!!]

[...So. Ochako, uh. She has no idea what to get Greed, nor where to even begin. On god, he is probably the one person she is struggling with the most, out of everyone on her gigantic list, to gift something even remotely meaningful. And though she could go for the easy way out of just grabbing booze from literally ANY place in Hell (lets be honest here, the vending machines sell hard liquor and hard drugs...among other questionable items), her moral compass simply will not allow her to purchase alcohol until she is of legal age to do so. Sorry man, no cheap thrills for you this Christmas time.
HOWEVER!!! That does not mean she is completely without something to give! The cherubs and other angels up in Heaven love Ochako, and how sweet and polite she ismost of the time...ahem, so when she asks, she is allowed to use the kitchens to make food for herself and others, and BOY HOWDY IS SHE MAKING SOME GOODIES. Lots of them, because she has no clue what else to get this guy and food is never a bad option. Like for real, who in their right mind wouldn't like to get delicious food as a gift for any occasion? And though she's not a ffffucking...Master Iron Chef Plus Ultra S-Rank Gourmet like Bakugou, she is pretty decent at cooking and knows her way around a kitchen. ...And there is an entire kitchen of chefs that are giving her pointers and guidance, and help with one of the recipes because, gasp, it does include a splash of alcohol!!
Greed will get a call from the hotel staff that a gift is being delivered to his suite, and in time an imp will arrive with a push cart of several items under some shiny, metal cloches. The main entree is a rather delectable spread of braised short ribs which looks fan-fucking-tastic and smell even better. The glossy sauce drips from the tend, fall off the bone meat, and they come with a bowl of ultra fluffy, white rice, crisp boiled veggies with a drizzle of sesame oil and crushed sesame seeds, some spicy and sour kimchi if he wants a little kick, a cup of miso soup, and a frothy glass of beer. On the house, because this is technically being served in Hell, and the Hell staff saw all this good food and recoiled in horror that is wasn't accompanied by SOME kind of devilish swill. So...there you go. We stay winning.
NEXT UP is the dessert! A spiced rum cake that is sweet, moist, and has the flavorful kick at the end of a high-quality rum it's been soaking in. The perfect accoutrement and dessert to a rather heavy meal. Everything will be delicious, to the nines and then some, and a card will accompany the whole thing that is simple, but sweet...and reads as follows:
Dear Mr. Greed,
YOU ARE SO HARD TO GIFT!!! OH MY GOSH! WORSE THAN MY TEACHERS BACK HOME!! D8<
Please enjoy the food, I didn't know what else to get for you. 。゜゜(´Ｏ`) ゜゜。
Your friend this Holiday,
Uraraka Ochako]

[Ruby works hard on her gifts, even when she doesn't know what to get. Can't very much do any "adult" gifts yet, but that just means she gets to play to her strengths. To that end, a wide, stout box is left on the counter of the nest. No sign of who dropped it off, but the heavenly festive wrappings may be a good clue.
Inside is a black forest cake! For Greed (although a accompanying note says he's free to share) as well as, tucked away neatly, a hand-made scarf for the big cat man.
Speaking of notes, there's another one in here;]
Hi, Greed! Happy Yam Ween, or Christmas, or whatever you're celebrating today! I hope you like the treat, and the scarf is for when you wanna go climbing buildings without me.
Thanks for being a friend these past months. It means a lot to me.

[ Greed will find a couple of messages waiting for him on his phone. The first is an image depicting one Mr. Beetled Juice taking a photo of himself from behind thanks to being able to contort his body in all kinds of horrible ways. He's wearing some tight leather pants. The second is:]
hey boss do these make my ass look big?

[ The night starts off innocently enough with him sending him a few pictures of him and Beetlejuice hanging out—with him looking like he just stepped out of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. Look, at least he did away with the fancy suit, these are baby steps.
As the night continues the pictures get a little more chaotic. He sends him a picture of the drink tower they have made out of the over a dozen glasses the two of them have gone through between them.
And Michael? Well, he is grinning from ear to ear, letting loose as promised. Maybe a little too loose though judging by the lipstick on his collar and he has no idea where his sweater went. ]
