Brief Summary
This episode is with Naoya, Takuto, and Eiki! It's Christmas Eve! Staff prepares a Christmas Quiz for the members to answer! After answering listener messages, MAZZEL TRACKS returns with a Christmas special! What songs do the members pick for the Christmas season?

This episode included the following special segments:
- *new* Christmas Quiz!: Do the members know what is the name of the day that comes after Christmas (December 26th)?
- MAZZEL TRACKS, CHRISTMAS SPECIAL!: MAZZEL TRACKS Christmas edition! Members take turns to share a song to play on radio and why they shared it.

Note: Unfortunately, the recording I was listening to cuts off the episode before each member could share their song choices and their discussion around each one.

Nevertheless, please enjoy! :)

🦦 reads the script: Originally, the day was organised by the church for people to donate gifts to the poor, and the donation is in the form of box, hence the word “boxing”
💌: So that’s what “boxing” refers to?
🐥, 🦦: Ahh~
🦦: The presents are placed in the box, and the day they are sent is called “boxing”

🐥: I’ll look forward to Boxing Day this year then 😚
💌: I feel like I learnt something new today 😆

[Listener message 1: It’s December so it’s Christmas season! Question: What’s a present you received that made you the happiest at Christmas?]

💌: Christmas present? I don’t remember any
🦦: I have one. When I was in elementary school, I think? I went to sleep and when I woke up the next day… It was probably my dad or my sister? A gaming controller that I always really wanted was placed next to me. It made me really happy
💌: That’s cute!
🐥: I get ittt
💌: So they’re the type to place it next to your head.
🦦: Yeah, when I woke up it was right next to me.
💌: What about Nao?
🐥: Nao too! Nao too! They leave it next to my pillow
💌: What’s something you got that made you happy?
🐥: Nao too, got a Wii U from Santa-san, I think I was the happiest about getting that
🐥: I woke up so many times! And I kept saying “Santa-san hasn’t come yet :(“ because I was looking forward to [getting] Wii U 😆
🐥: With Wii U we also got Wii U Party so that everyone can enjoy it together
🦦: I think for me it was Monster Hunter? I played it a lot

💌: I got a glove when I was in 5th Grade. Santa-san comes the night of the 24th and we find out he came the morning of 25th when we wake up, right?
🐥, 🦦: Mm
💌: But mine came a day earlier!
🐥, 🦦: Eh?!
💌: [That year] The 24th was a Saturday and the 25th was a Sunday. I was in little league baseball, so I had practice on both days. Santa-san noted that and gave me my present the night of the 23rd, so that I could start using it on Saturday 😆 (🐥, 🦦: Wow~)
🦦: That’s great~
🐥: Wah~ Lovely!
💌: Thank you Santa-san
🦦: Thank you~

[Listener 2: Their family does a Christmas gift exchange every year. Who buys a gift for who is decided by a ladder lottery, then the whole family heads to a shopping mall to get Christmas gifts. The budget is 500 yen. It’s become their family tradition. Do MAZZEL have any traditions like family and friends do?]

🦦: That sounds fun
🐥: Yeah, it sounds really fun! I had something like this in elementary school.
💌: Christmas gift exchange?
🐥: Yeah, with my family. We’d all gather together, decide on the budget and then exchange gifts.
💌: What about Takkun?
🦦: Hold on. I tried to remember but I don’t think we did… Ah, but I think we did one where we’d form a circle and pass the gift to the person next to us as music played.
💌: Wah! That’s super fun
🐥: I want MAZZEL to do that!
🦦: True!
💌: Right?
🐥: We also have a YouTube live coming up don’t we? I want to do it then!
💌: But [this will broadcast] after the YouTube live wouldn’t it?
🐥: After? Then… We don’t know if we did it or not now do we? 😂
💌: Would be nice if we did!

🦦 still thinking about Christmas present: I don’t remember what I gave…
🐥: Christmas present? What did I give? I think slime?
🦦: UWAHHH! So nostalgic!
🐥: Slime… aqua beads that kind of stuff
🦦: I really don’t remember anything

💌: I like the festive atmosphere
🐥: I get that!
💌: When you’re at a shopping mall, it’ll play certain tunes
🐥: They do! I like it. I And you can layer your outfits, it’s fun!

💌 going back on topic: So if the budget was 500 yen, what would you buy?
🐥: I remember using 500 yen to buy gifts in elementary school!
🦦, 💌: Right?
🦦: I probably got a lot of snacks
🐥: Yesss!
💌: You can get a ton of snacks with 500 yen
🦦: You can! I’d be happy if I got some (🐥: Nao probably also got snacks~)
💌: I got handkerchiefs I think!
🦦: Ohhh! / 🐥: Ahhh!

💌: What about Nao?
🐥: Bath salt / bath bomb?
