** Maho pulls out a karaoke machine, and since she doesn't know any pop music, she puts the Kuromorimine School Anthem on the playlist and asks her commanders to add their favorites. Since they're still mostly convinced she's building up to punish them for losing to Oarai, they all add the same thing. |

** Alas, Maho's skills don't include cutting cake, as she slices the cake Miho sent into irregularly curved segments of odd sizes. |

** Maho shows off her "hidden talent" of imitation. Swiftly doing her hair up in Darjeeling's braid, she raises a teacup and asks, "Do you know this saying?"

In any case, quoting the Sun Tzu of tankery does not reassure her commanders.... |

** After the commanders realize that Maho really just wants to spend Christmas with them, it's time for presents<ref>Sent by Oarai; there's a hint that most were picked out by Student Council President Anzu Kadotani</ref>! The Maus commander is ... displeased ... to find the gift she receives is a model of the Type 89 which climbed onto her tank; likewise, [[Fan Nickname|Jagdpanther-chan]] isn't happy to get a Hetzer model (during their match, her tank was dogged by the Oarai Student Council's Hetzer, which broke her tracks '''twice'''). A Panther commander who panicked when Turtle Team slipped into the formation gets another Hetzer, and declares it's "all kinds of strange" for there to be two Hetzers among the presents. And Erika is given an Anglerfish dance costume. (Maho thinks their barely-contained tears are from joy.) '''She''' gets some kind of plushie jellyfish or tentacle monster<ref>An article from Asahi Shimbun says this is “Araippe,” created in 2013 to be a mascot for the Oarai area in the hope of improving tourism after the Fukushima nuclear reactor disaster. “Araippe” is portrayed as made up of local seafood specialties. His "tentacles" are actually whitebait (immature fish) and his mouth is a clam. His tail is a clam rake.</ref>, which she declares is cute. |

*** Oddly, the scene of presents being handed out seems to indicate they're given at random (passing them around a circle while singing a song, keep the one you're holding when the song stops), and yet as noted above they tend to be appropriate to the girls who receive them. |
