Needless to say, Garurumon helping in the workshop had been a little dicey since he's, you know, a quadrupedal creature. He had kept the reindeer under control, mostly through intimidation of them. Didn't go great at first because he overdid it and a couple fled, but it could have been worse.
Now that it's gift-delivering time, well, Garurumon encounters what he didn't want to encounter anytime soon: human children. Garurumon leaves wrapped gifts under the trees, supposing that nobody will mind the obvious teeth marks on them and all, when he turns around and sees a couple children looking at him. For a moment Garurumon stares back.
"What?"
The children come closer. The younger one extends a hand, intending to touch him.
"Hey, no touching! Come on, you can't go petting anyone you see in front of you!"
Garurumon backs against the wall. Although he's not tremendously happy, there's not a single aggressive move towards these kids. Even though he's this large beast, it's as if he's cornered by these two kids who are starstruck at seeing their favorite Digimon -- not that he'd know that's what Kemonogami are known as over here!
After a moment, Garurumon sinks a little.
"What am I supposed to do now...?"
He's at the mercy of kids trying to show appreciation at him!
E: Encountering a Goat
Okay, so, what they have to do now...is ensure the straw goat over there is burned?
"Is that part of the spirit of these celebrations? Burning things to ashes?" Garurumon laughs under his breath. "What's up with the human world...?" Honestly he finds it hilarious. Perhaps that's why he comes closer to one of the other myths in his group. "We're supposed to get this done. Come on, let's do it."
Garurumon seems pretty eager to do this!
G: Encountering Exhaustion
Upon the return to the workshop, Garurumon intended to go to the sleigh room, to rest there as usual, now near the very wary reindeer he had been terrorizing, uh, I mean corraling earlier. He's too tired to even get there, though. Garurumon steps forward, his four legs trembling, and collapses on the floor. He tries to drag himself a little more, not really wanting to be near the rest because he's as misanthropic as usual, but his body insists: he's to stay where he is. A yeti throwing a blanket on top of him seals his fate.
"Shit...so this is what happens every year...?" Garurumon's face is smushed against the floor. "There has to be an easier way to do this all..."

Most exhausting tradition ever.
