Allen notes the sprightliness and his boyish grin turns into one with a more... Somehow, fatherly/brotherly look, pleased at her now-positive personality. Then his grin falls slightly as he sees her holding out the gift, a puzzled look crossing his face for a moment before-
"A-ahh! Thank you! Merry Christmas to you, too!" he replies quickly, smiling wider than ever. He is feeling like he isn't very good at picking gifts for people as he procures Miranda's - he carries around the smallish gifts and leaves the big ones under the trees - and hands it (http://pics.livejournal.com/shichiyo/pic/000082t2) to her.
