Antonio reflects with surprise that he hasn't yet sent out Christmas greetings. He envisions elegant cards, embossed on fine parchment, crafted with care. He imagines the perfect message in beautiful calligraphy, wishing good tidings and health to the recipients.
The message humorously mentions his activities, including slicing Ethan Ritter in Miami and sending the remnants into the Atlantic, followed by his best wishes for the new year. This whimsical note encapsulates a blend of holiday cheer and lighthearted mischief, characteristic of the narrative style in Kelley Armstrong's "Bitten."
