I'm with Maggie, when I was her age red was my favorite color too! ;D Hmmmm... There is a hint of humanity in Mab, and with her daughter being the Summer Lady now, looks like things will be a bit better as far as Summer/Winter relations may be a bit warmer.... But why is Mab even attempting to be nice to Harry by giving his daughter a gift?
Face it, a bike isn't that hard to put together, and usually a kid's bike is bought in one piece... So
did Maggie and Harry come to stay with the Carpenters just for Christmas? At the last story, Harry was moving into Molly's old place... Notice she came when her father wasn't in the room? Do they know now, have either side resolved what has happened to her?
Kringle, very very sweet, his gift to Harry.. Special, very special, why now? To bring comfort...
Since this takes place after Peace Talks apparently, maybe at least six months after... The depth of
Harry's grief says to me at any rate, one or more of three very important people in Harry's life is
no longer with us. The candidates are in order, Murphy, Eb, or Thomas... I doubt that he would
be in such morning for members of the White Council in general, even for the likes of Rashid.. Yes, he hates it when lots of innocents die, but this seems more personal. It is possible that Thomas could be eliminated from the list because I'd think Justine and baby would be with Harry if he was dead, unless both died including baby.. Eb very possible as we have talked about, but maybe Jim wasn't pulling our leg months ago, he was writing Murphy's funeral...

Eb I can sort of see, but with Murphy I don't think it'd be very relistic for Harry to be able to hide her name from his own thoughts. Mind, if she is dead Jim wouldn't publish this story with her name as one of the casualties as it's a major spoiler rather than the minor spoilers there are... but it seems too unrealistic to fly, to me.

As Mab explained it is her duty. Harry is taking part in a winter festivity, he is actually helping fairy that way. Of course Mab wants to keep all the important things of christmass alive like the tree and santa and gift giving. Gift giving is an important ritual.
And Harry is Mab's consort. How can she not give Harry a present at christmass? and how can she miserly about it? She is the liege, she has to give, this is the occasion.

Apparently he got a flatpack or something like that. We in Holland just go to the bike shop around the corner and by an assembled one.

This is Maggie's family as well and since small favor it is also Harry's family in a sense. It is quite understandable that Harry and Maggie celebrate christmass there wherever they are living at the moment.

Not Kringle's fault. As mentioned in Skin Game the island was not an easy place to deliver for Kringle.
And really Kringle just likes Harry. Of course he gives him a gift at the only time he can do so without problems. Harry just has to be nice of course. Being naughty will really bring extra problems from now on....

Ramirez, Butters, Bill and Georgia, Elaine, ....
I do not think Karen is dead at the moment. I expect them at least to have some happiness together before it is ripped away. Just to make it worse. But Murphy is going to suffer, just to make Harry suffer.
But I do not think he is in mourning for a special person necessarily. I think there were just a lot of casualties. We probably do not know most of them.

Over Lara's dead body. Which says nothing about Thomas's fate.

Just spitballing here, but how did he end up on Kringle's list? (click to show/hide)Sympathetic pain flickered on his face. “Harry,” he said, “what do you remember most?”
“Coffee,” I said instantly. “My dad would let me drink coffee on Christmas morning.” I smiled, remembering. “I mean, it was more like a cup of milk and sugar with a little coffee thrown into it, but I thought I was pretty big stuff. We’d make breakfast together and then he’d sit with me and open my presents and we’d spend the day playing with them.”
Michael took a sip of nog and nodded thoughtfully. Then he smiled at me and said, “I think you’ll do just fine.” He cocked his head slightly, as if listening to a comment coming from an earbug. He let out a little snort and shook his head.
“What?” I asked him warily. I looked around the room, at any potential unseen angelic presences and demanded, “What?”
“Spoilers,” the ex-Knight murmured. “Merry Christmas, Harry.” And he limped silently from the room.

Oh that one is simple. Uriel and Vadderung know each other.
Mr. Death:
How did he end up on Kringle's list?
Simple: He's been a very good boy this year, apparently.
