In Issue 1034 of ''[[The Cupid Courier]]'', [[Lord Thymon]] was quoted approving of the recent [[Cupid Parliament]] ruling that non-Cupid inhabitants of the [[Cupid Homeworld]] would start officially getting monthly days off, stating that he would be able to use them to visit Spatium, whom he had been unable to contact since coming to live in the Homeworld because the [[Department of Postal Services]] did not handle deliveries beyond the Homeworld.

Indeed, it was vital for him to visit her, as one of her three [[shape-child]]ren had begun stabilising into a “[[Tiny Thymon]]” to replace the adult Thymon in [[the Void]], and thus needed frequent visits from his uncle to imprint on his [[eldritch energy]]. In December 2019, with [[Christmas]] being newly-introduced to the Homeworld, Thymon asked [[Philatel-426]] to let him have a week off starting on December 25th, which the Postmaster reluctantly granted. On the night of the 24th, however, Philatel went through [[A Christmas Carol|a ''Christmas Carol'' experience]] thanks to [[the Three Spirits]]. The [[Ghost of Christmas Present (A Copper-Colored Christmas Carol)|Ghost of Christmas Present]] took him to see Spatium's residence in the Void, which was processed for his understanding as a “small, poor house”; there he witnessed Spatium and [[Squire | Indeed, it was vital for him to visit her, as one of her three [[shape-child]]ren had begun stabilising into a “[[Tiny Thymon]]” to replace the adult Thymon in [[the Void]], and thus needed frequent visits from his uncle to imprint on his [[eldritch energy]].

As per the classic ''Christmas Carol'' scenario, the [[Ghost of Christmas Yet-to-Come (A Copper-Colored Christmas Carol)|Ghost of Christmas Yet-to-Come]] went on to show Philatel a possible future where, due to Philatel continuing to keep Thymon at work too often, Tiny Thymon vanished altogether; the scene he saw was the surviving members of the family assembling at a spot picked out by Lord Thymon as very “[[g$#^&n]]”, apparently a relevant quality, and singing “one of Tiny Thymon’s favorite hymns to the [[Elder Gods (A Copper-Colored Christmas Carol)|Elder Gods]]”.
