December Birthday Mail Messages (2024)

Ganyu Birthday Message

Lately, due to official duties, I've been staying in Qiaoying Village for a while. The serene beauty of Chenyu Vale is such a delight. Between work, I find myself gazing at the mountains or strolling through the woods, keeping company with the animals dwelling within.

Such a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere reminds me of my days training in Jueyun Karst. Even my midday naps have become more restful.

How about you? With all your travels, are you managing to get enough rest? If you have some free time, care to pay a visit? We could brew a fine pot of tea, prepare a couple of simple vegetarian dishes, and truly relax amidst nature's embrace. Oh, and I could sing you the songs I've recently learned from the children.

Nilou Birthday Message

A few days ago, I went to the desert searching for inspiration. Guess what extraordinary thing happened?

I came across an exceptional desert dancer! We didn't know each other's names, nor did we exchange any words, yet somehow, we found ourselves dancing in perfect harmony amidst the golden sands. Her movements radiated strength and conviction, and together we spun, waved, and stretched... When the dance ended, we shared an exuberant high-five!

To me, this embodies the essence of dance: a way to communicate with the beauty around us, to interact, and to express through motion. By weaving my thoughts and emotions into the dance, I can share this beauty with others.

Before parting, we exchanged gifts. Now, I want to share the same sense of joy with you!

December Birthday Mail Messages (2023)

Ganyu Birthday Message

Maybe it's because I've been so busy lately, I've caught myself almost nodding off more often during the day...

The other secretaries at Yuehai Pavilion have been trying to get me to go fishing to take my mind off things. They say that fishing is the best way to overcome fatigue. It's just... I'm worried that sitting by the water doing nothing for hours will just make me even sleepier.

But one of my colleagues, who is a particularly experienced fisher, told me that I'd enjoy it more if I went with some friends. That way, we could pass the time chatting while we waited, and we'd get to witness each other's achievements in those nervous moments when we finally reeled in our catches... It actually sounds like something I'd really enjoy!

I've already prepared the snacks and bait! If you're free, would you like to come fishing with me?

Nilou Birthday Message

A few days ago, as I was passing through Apam Woods, it started raining heavily. I had no choice but to take shelter under a tree and stand there quietly watching the rain.

As the raindrops sent out large ripples across the water, and all the plants and flowers in the forest swayed happily, it suddenly occurred to me that the whole forest seemed to be dancing to the melody of the rain.

Could it be that, just as the wind finds its shape as it blows through the treetops, so too might the rain be using the plants in the forest to perform a dance of its very own? When I thought of this, I tried to imitate the rhythm I saw before me, and by doing so created a brand-new dance!

But before I stage an official performance... Perhaps I can first express my gratitude for nature's inspiration by performing this dance of joy for my close friend to witness!

Neuvillette Birthday Message

According to our previous public pronouncements, it is my birthday today.

Furina's birthday is a public holiday, and it remains so to this day.

On the centenary of when I took up my post, someone proposed that my birthday should also be designated as a commemorative holiday. In actuality, I do not know the exact date of my birthday.

As the spring and fall weather in Fontaine is less than satisfactory, and I am not particularly fond of summer, I finally settled on this date.

In years past, on this day I would usually extricate myself from duties at the Court and go to Merusea Village, visiting the Melusines who lived there.

This time, I would like to invite you to come along with me. I have heard you are often traveling around Fontaine lately, and are well acquainted with many Melusines. If you were present, they would surely be overjoyed.

It was merely a sudden notion I had, I suppose I may be intruding. I prepared a gift by way of thanks. Should you be available, I look forward to meeting you.

Layla Birthday Message

Now this is worth celebrating! Not only was the research completed ahead of schedule, but I didn't even have to help once.

I can tell how hard she was working, and she fell right asleep as soon as she finished getting all the materials squared away. Hmm, so what was left for me to do?

After giving it a bit of thought, I figured that I should invite all her friends over on her behalf, and celebrate her successfully completing her paper! After all, when she wakes up, the first thing she'll do is start worrying about the next research topic. There's no way she'll even think of setting something like this up. Happiness like this needs to be shared, of course!

So, you'll need to keep this secret for me. It'll be a pleasant surprise for her when the time comes! I've already prepared the food for the party, so I hope you'll be there with her when she wakes.

Dori Birthday Message

Good news, good news! I just finished negotiating a super lucrative deal! Just thinking about all the Mora I'm gonna make... Ehehehe...

But, y'know, can't make the big Mora without a big bit of risk! This one is a particularly tricky business, crossing the entire desert to shift the goods. Without sufficient experience comes the risk of getting lost; without sufficient skills, there's no way to protect the goods.

Now, let me think, just who is the total package that meets both conditions? Why, that would be our famous Traveler, of course!

As for the nitty-gritty deets... Nothing you need to worry yourself about, just leave it all to me. You just get the goods where they need to go, and it'll be raining Mora! Of course, I understand how difficult it must be for you to come all this way. As long as you stay at the hotels I recommend, you'll get 20% off on meals and lodging, and even get complimentary desert travel rations and a big ol' water bottle! It's a total steal, wouldn't you say?

Limited-time offer, today only, and opportunity doesn't knock twice, so you'd best reply ASAP!

Tighnari Birthday Message

I've heard the ambient temperature is dropping rather quickly in several different climes. I wonder if your travels have taken you to a place with such inclement weather?

Naturally, the rainforest is warm and humid as always, and remains an excellent place to escape the winter chill. So, would you consider overwintering in Gandharva Ville?

There are fresh fruits and mushrooms aplenty, and you can go hunting with the Forest Rangers (naturally, within the limits stipulated by the rainforest protection regulations). I can confidently say that every day here is filled with excitement.

Should you be interested, then come find me. I look forward to you doing your bit to contribute to the lively atmosphere here.

Zhongli Birthday Message

I recently found myself with some spare time, so I visited Qiaoying Village. Firstly, to relax, and secondly, because the end of each year is a time for giving gifts to kith and kin.

The distinctive mountains of Chenyu Vale are striking, and the waters have a delicate beauty. It certainly must be counted among the top destinations for a calming stroll. Should you find yourself otherwise unoccupied in the future, you must come and see for yourself. As for myself, I enjoyed a slow walk the entire time, and before I knew it, the smoke from a hundred hearths filled my senses with the fragrance of food.

The world seeks shelter before the cold that comes with the year's ending, and now is the best time to invite a few close friends to sit around the fire, brewing a pot of hot tea and reminiscing about the past.

A mouthful of winter tea can stave off the cold and chills, and restore one's vitality.

Yet these tea leaves are quite fragile, and cannot withstand the bumps and jolts of a long journey. I shall keep them for now, and we may brew them after you have arrived.

Ganyu Birthday Message

Lately, the other secretaries at Yuehai Pavilion have been working hard and are handling many of the affairs, so I'm less busy than usual at the end of the year. I'm... not used to having free time, so I find myself not knowing what to do.

I heard that it is a pleasant experience to admire the moon and to clear one's mind over a cup of tea with a friend after work. Would you mind accompanying me under the moonlit breeze tonight?

Please don't feel obliged to agree. Being able to have a quiet and peaceful moment in the midst of my busy schedule has made me very happy.

I've prepared tea that I often drink at Yuehai Pavilion and its complementary ingredients that help soothe the mind. I hope you will like it.

Nilou Birthday Message

I like to observe what's around me and take inspiration from them for my dance steps.

The rolling waves, a fluttering Crystalfly... All these beautiful things that are within reach, I wish to express their brilliance through dance.

However, after observing the landscapes of Sumeru for so long, I'm running out of inspiration...
Maybe it's time to learn from the Shaggy Sumpter Beasts and pack enough supplies to venture further?

Ah, I know, I can go to the desert!

The last time I danced at the oasis, creative ideas kept popping into my head. I'm sure I'll find something new if I go back!

Let me gather some friends! We can admire the dunes together, go stargazing, and sing around the bonfire! How does that sound?

Layla Birthday Message

I was supposed to report the progress of the project to my supervisor today. However, considering that today is my birthday, my tutor extended the deadline and gave me a day off.

I'm really happy that I can put my project aside temporarily and rest for a bit.

I am going to take advantage of this rare break to walk around Port Ormos. Would you like to join me?

For me, there is nothing more satisfying than a leisurely stroll through the streets of the Port Ormos. Of course, it's even better when I'm with a close friend or two. I'll see you later if you're free!

Do you remember what day it is today? Lord Sangemah Bay's birthday is coming up! To celebrate this auspicious occasion, I spent a fortune to commission Sumeru's most renowned pastry chef to bake me a big, decadent cake - it's even bigger than a Shaggy Sumpter Beast! I guarantee you, you'll be amazed when you see it.

Like every year, I will invite important clients and business partners to my home to celebrate.

Not only do I get an incredible amount of gifts at the banquet, but when everyone is full and happy, I can easily negotiate next year's orders... I can already see the business and Mora coming in, hehe!

Such a grand banquet, such a precious opportunity... I wouldn't miss this, if I were you!

I have already kindly invited you, so... I'm sure you know what to do, right?

See you tonight!

Tighnari Birthday Message

Greetings, I hope you are doing well.

Today is my birthday, and I should have invited my friends over for dinner, but unfortunately, I have accepted Amurta's invitation to give a series of talks scheduled on these days, and I can't duck out of that. I have prepared some mushroom dishes for you that I find delicious in advance, I hope you like them. My dishes are lighter in flavor, so you can add some seasonings as you wish.

The rainforest has been doing quite well lately. Should you wish to come to Gandharva Ville for a short stay, you are always welcome. However, you should always pay attention to your safety when exploring. I've enclosed some glittering items in the letter that you can use to light your way in the night.

Zhongli Birthday Message

Yet another year is coming to an end. As per tradition, it is time to write letters to friends and reminisce about old times.

Recently, I was entrusted by Director Hu to visit Qingce Village. The village is peaceful and prosperous these days, full of joy and the bounties of nature. Nothing soothes one's heart more than such tranquil sights and the melodious sounds of the villagers' chatter. I almost felt obliged to look for someone to share in such delights, and as such, I picked a few Jueyun Chilis for you.

Eating them in the winter is conducive to health, but if spicy food is not to your liking, you may use them to decorate your room instead. The strings of red Chilis will surely add liveliness to your home.

Ganyu Birthday Message

I've heard my colleagues say that among humans, birthdays are very special and are important occasions to be celebrated. They are days to go to places where you normally wouldn't go, and spend Mora on things you wouldn't normally buy. Only then would they be considered birthdays.

But for me, the passage of time is a trivial thing. I'm always very busy on my birthdays, and they always go by the same way every year.

During my nap today, you unexpectedly appeared in my dream. You said something to me with a smile...

Unfortunately, I can't seem to remember what you said after I woke up.

Maybe it's a sign that there's something you want to tell me? Perhaps I should take this opportunity to meet you...

Either way, I've prepared a gift according to Liyue customs.

Here are some Qingxin seeds, so you can experience the joy of planting and harvesting.

Ah... there's no more room left to write about tips on planting and tending but it's alright, let's just discuss it when we meet.

Zhongli Birthday Message

Before I had even noticed, it is now the last day of the year.

It's a rather special day, which not only marks the end of one year, but the beginning of another. I dwell in contemplation every time this day comes.

Time, history... Everything that flows in this world comes together in the last moment of this day.

Whether strong waves or a trickle... They move on undeterred.

You've certainly been to a lot of places and done many things this year. Your presence is like a clear mirror on the earth.

A mirror can reveal a person's nature, reflect highs and lows of emotions, and illuminate the souls of heaven and earth.

On this special day, I too would like to see this world's mirror.

For someone who has journeyed for a long time, perhaps it is time to pause and take a break.

If you are available, I hope we can meet up.

Conversation over tea will be sure to lift your spirits.
