That's not true. The kids that hand out the letters are all random.Originally Posted by Lich3636
! . , ? are your friends. :D And just to put it in an easier to read way...:D *taken from somebody on some place* :
"TREES:
You can only get one tree from each nation, and only one per game day. Each Tree quest person is in the Port of their respective nation. Each person asks you to run to a Market Moogle and fetch something for them, this moogle is always in the same zone as them. If you mess up, the NPC will berate you and ask you to get a different item from a moogle in another zone, but they'll give you more time to get it and get back. This part IS timed, so move your butt.
Each tree quest giver is in the Port of their respective cities, and are NPCs that are not normally there. They always ask you to run to a Market Moogle right next to the residential zone.
Doing the tree quest again after getting a tree gets you some fireworks.
DREAM (SANTA) HATS:
The quest to obtain the hat is only obtainable via the NPC wearing the Santa hat. I personally suggest doing this in your favorite city, since you'll be required to be somewhat familiar with where all the children in all the zones are located.
To get the hat, you must first talk to the Moogle (just named Moogle, not Market Moogle) and he'll explain what's going on, and tell you the zones and how many children are in them waiting to give the "smilebringer" letters. There are always only three children-but sometimes their number in certain zones changes. Sometimes you'll get one in three zones, two in one and one in another, or all three in the same zone.
Either way, the moogle will tell you, then you go find the 'smilebringer' he mentions, who happens to be an NPC wearing a Santa hat. This NPC will babble something about kids, and then it's your job to essentially harass all the little kid NPCs in that zone until you find the ones who give you a letter.
Now this is important: Write down which child gave you what letter-the "smilebringer" will be quizing you on this. Once you get all three letters (Joy, Thanks, Gratitude) return to the NPC wearing the santa hat and give all three of them to him at the same time. Then you'll get drilled on what kids gave you which letters. If you get it right, he'll fork over the hat.
The Windurst Santa Hat NPC is located in Windurst Waters, near the zoneline into West Sarutabaruta.
The San d'Orian Santa Hat NPC is located in North Sandoria, and is wearing WHM AF-also right by the zoneline into West Ronfaure.
The Bastok Santa Hat NPC is located is located in Bastok Mines, right across from the Auction House.
Kiddie Presents:
Okay, here's the deal on those: If you want you can buy them, but thus far it seems pointless. The NPC will hand you a free ex one whenever you zone, and you can keep zoning and getting more if you like. Whenever you trade an ex Kiddie Present to any child NPC while wearing the Dream Hat you get a message saying "you brought barrelfuls of joy to the children of Vana'diel!" (Trading a non-ex one nets you the message: "you brought joy to the children of Vana'diel!", implying it brings less)
Trading Kiddie presents to the children raises your "joy level". The Moogle that set you off on this whole mess will inform you of your current "joy level". "What the hell is Joy level?" Well, the Moogle will teleport you directly to another city if you have high enough Joy.
Good news: it only takes one ex gift to get enough "joy" with the kiddies so the Moogle will port you. Using the moogle-port will lower your rating, so to use it again, just grab another present, trade it to any kiddie and you're good to go again. Trading presents at this time does not seem to offer any other benefits, but it is really cool to teleport directly from San d'Oria to say, Bastok for free.
Dream Hat+1!
To get the Dream Hat+1:
You must have done the first hat quest, and be wearing it. You must have at least the tree from your home nation in your Mog House. (Reports are varying as to if you need all three, or just your home nations)
After I logged for the night and woke up this morning, Moogle found a present under my tree! Obtained: Special Present. Rare/ex "A special present Moogle found underneath a holiday tree." Go step outside your Mog house and use the item. It will go off like an Air Rider firework. Except when it's done, look in your inventory-now you'll have the Dream Hat+1!

The charge never runs out, it just takes 24 hours for it to recharge and give you another cookie. Eating the cookie seems to net no special effects as far as I can tell (not that eating a regular Ginger Cookie won't do) and the food only lasts a few minutes."
