—— Rue ——
Beloved Rue, my love, my light, my guiding star,
I hope the holidays and this gift finds you well. Enclosed within, you will find a miniature photograph printer in your favorite color. You may use it to print out the many photographs of your beautiful sons, which you may fill the also enclosed photo album with in the years to come. These breathtaking memories you have made deserve to be cherished and treated with care, which I already know you do so well.
You know already of my undying love for you, which would take all the ink in the known universe to reiterate. But until my dying breath, I will speak it to you again and again and again, every day, as sure as my heart beats. I thank you for your unending patience, your boundless forgiveness, and for welcoming me into your family and back into your life. Every day I get to spend by your side is a blessing without measure. I love you.

Dear Casey,
I hope the holidays and this gift finds you well. It has come to my understanding that you have taken to the art of letter writing through your correspondence with Rue.

Dear Peter,
I hope the holidays and this gift finds you well. It has come to my attention that you enjoy cooking and baking, so I hope you will enjoy these fun utensils for your cookie needs, holiday-related or otherwise. Perhaps we can make cookies together sometimes. I also found this little statuette of three turtles, which I hope can brighten your day as well as your mantle. Or wherever you choose to decorate with it.
I wish to thank you for welcoming me so warmly into the family. Getting to know you has been, and continues to be, a true pleasure. I look forward to getting to know you even better in the new year.

Dear Donatello,
I hope the holidays and this gift finds you well. It has come to my attention that you enjoy gadgets and techno music, a genre with which I am woefully unfamiliar. However, I have come to learn you can create such music of your own with a modular synthesizer, an instrument you will find enclosed within. It may not be 200lbs of beta titanium alloy, but it is my hope you will still find enjoyment from creating music with these myriad buttons and dials.
While we have not yet spent a lot of time together, I already know you as a bright and diligent young man with an unmatched intellect. Shall you allow it, I look forward to getting to know you even better in the new year.

—— Raph ——
Dear Raphael,
I hope the holidays and this gift finds you well. It has come to my understanding that you enjoy the performance art of wrestling. With this in mind, I hope you will enjoy the protective—and decorative!—gear enclosed within. Perhaps one day, you can teach me the showmanship of wrestling, and permit me to teach you a few of my favorite maneuvers.
From what I have come to know, you are a very passionate and loving young man, and while you may not consider yourself Rue's son, you will forever be part of this family, cared for just as deeply as the rest. It is my hope that this love and care resonates with you, today and always. I look forward to getting to know you even better in the new year.

—— Leo ——
Dear Leonardo,
I hope the holidays and this gift finds you well. It has come to my attention that you enjoy fiction of the speculative science variety, as well as a certain comic book space man. While I am unfamiliar with either genre, the friendly critters at the market warmly recommended this book—a collection of formative science fiction stories from an Earth-famous author—as well as assisting me in the creation of this figurine. It is my sincere hope that they will brighten both your day and your mantle.
I know we have not gotten off to the best start, for which I have nothing but regret. It is clear to me you are a strong young man, and very protective of those you love. These are qualities which I ardently admire. Know that there is nothing but hope in my heart for you. Shall you one day permit it, I look forward to getting to know you in earnest.
