Its a mix of sci-fi and fantasy. Hope you enjoy it.

Since it's post apocalyptic, these are what the characters would want to do if they could.

Agony: Put on a classy suit and drink spiked eggnog that get progressively more spiked and less eggnog as the night goes on until she's basically just drinking rum. But she's doing it in a nice suit.

Thesis: listens to Christmas music from his childhood and looks through photo albums

Duenna: bakes cookies. Just so many cookies. Like, a crazy amount of cookies. And then puts them in cute little bags and puts them on loved ones doorsteps.

Motif: quick existential crisis and then makes Sequel watch weird cursed low budget Christmas movies and shorts. (Santa Claus and the Ice Cream Bunny, Santa Claus' Story 1945, Santa Claus conquers the Martians)

Sequel: reminisces about Christmases with his brother and then makes Motif watch Christmas movie classics (It's a Wonderful Life, Die Hard, Several versions of A Christmas Carol)

Thanks, I'll be sure to give it a look .

So Agony is going to spend Christmas completely plastered? . Man, I would not want to be her on New Years. Still, at least she's wearing a nice suit.

Thesis, I guess he and Duenna have the most normal sounding Christmas celebrations

Why is Motif having an existential crisis? Also, I don't know about you, but I kind of want to see Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, and for some reason, Santa Claus 1945 sounds like some weird war movie where super soldier Santa fights Nazis, again, something I would actually like to see .

As for Sequel, I'm glad to see he recognizes that Die Hard is, in fact, a Christmas movie. But why is Lethal Weapon not on his movie list?

If only Santa Claus's Story 1945 was as normal as what you described. Look it up on YouTube, it's under nine minutes and a total mind screw.

EchoMan 2021-12-16 14:48:23 UTC #62

Wait, no way. It's a real thing? I've got to see this

Pony_wearing_a_hat 2021-12-16 14:49:55 UTC #63

Merry Christmas:

EchoMan 2021-12-16 14:59:10 UTC #64

I have...Several questions... I'm also now wishing it was super soldier Santa fighting Nazis.

No there's fun, I just dont want to spoil the story

Tired_Spider 2021-12-17 10:01:56 UTC #66

Oh, that is easy, for Kiorif to celebrate this festive holiday he would do nothing really, I guess drink eggnog and call it a day. He might call his parents, or just text and have to deal with Rookie spamming him the most random messages. But I've already mentioned Rookie too many times in these so I'll leave her out for this one.

If you take a read I do hope you enjoy it

EchoMan 2021-12-17 13:50:02 UTC #67

Kiorif sounds like he'd have a very laid back Christmas. I guess it makes sense, I mean it seems like they have a stressful life normally, so taking some time out to relax is always a good idea.

I'll be sure to check out your story and leave some comments, I've enjoyed what I've read so far so I look forward to carrying on .

Tired_Spider 2021-12-17 21:22:06 UTC #68

Yeah likewise now that I've got more free time

silenthisper 2021-12-20 12:51:51 UTC #69

Depends on which timeline. But in the original one, the young girl would celebrate it with a homemade meal with her father and little brother, and just listen to stories told by her father with her drawing on the ground to make her little brother enjoy it even more. But in the other one? She wouldn't even bother celebrating it, it simply doesn't exist.

This is interesting, particularly the non-fiction tag. What exactly does that mean in this context? I've subscribed just because this is intriguing in the extreme. Feel free to check out either one of my series and subscribe if you're interested:

Hey there,

Thank you for your interest in Silent Whispers! This is actually one of the most common questions that have been asked for my work, however. I would be hosting a QnA (once this Introduction chapter is over and fully published). So in that, I would be answering this very question, among others in more detail. So if you have any other questions, be sure to keep check of them, as I would answer them within time.

Side note, I would definitely check out one of yours, it sounds interesting, especially the Gambler's Run.

Before my main characters Charlotte and Chase got married in the comic, they had very low key Christmas celebrations at their home, But over the years since their marriage, they alternate between their families for Christmas every year...one year they have a gathering with Charlotte's side, the next year it's Chase's side of the family, and back again....

Nice idea

Duncan would surely be celebrating with his rifter colleagues in the office. Probably with a small Christmas tree in a pot on one of the tables and with food made by all the different Rifters

N1ghtm4r3 2021-12-26 00:29:51 UTC #74

im sure all my main heroes would be happy being all together , and try to unwind somewhere safe

JKnight 2021-12-26 00:34:47 UTC #75

My character would celebrate by picking out someone on a hit list and collect their bounty after him and his crew kills said person if their a bad person.
