Hello, Asami, it's Mary. This is... fairly far in advance, but I wanted to ask now, to keep someone else from beating me to it.

[There's the slightest tinge of nervousness in Mary's voice.]

Would you like to have Christmas Dinner with me, my sister and the other two from my world on December 25th? Esther has invited a few of her friends, and the others may as well. You're the first to come to my mind.

I... don't even know if you have Christmas as a holiday on your Earth or even what I'm talking about, but it's a big deal for those of my faith. You're welcome to join me for mass, but I'm certainly not expecting you to have any interest in that unless you're Christian as well.

Just let me know when you have a chance...
