“Florida’s nice though every so often. Can’t imagine being there all the time. The humidity alone is a killer. And they’ve got no snow. Just soapy snow… snoap.” Ophelia muses before closing her eyes. “Home is… it’s a little snowy. Not like this. At least not where I would normally go. In the mountains yeah, but… suppose it’s a bit of all year up there. And I’m from far far away. No where near the North Pole. Sure your Dad knows though.” Even Santa had to know about other planets.

    “I’m definitely happier here...but Charlie wasn’t raised here like the rest of us,” she explained, with a small shrug. “So, my dad was married to Charlie’s mom first, they got a divorce when he was little...and then he became Santa. My mom was Charlie’s high school principal – so I guess that was kind of weird for him –” she paused, snorting out a laugh. “– but they obviously lived here in the Pole together, but Charlie grew up back in Illinois with his mom and her husband...I guess he’s not as used to the snowy climate as the rest of us. Cal, Sandra and I were all born here...” It was kind of nice, having someone to explain it all to, someone she could actually talk to about all of this. “Do you have siblings?”

merveiilles​ ​     /     neil miller.

. 𝓝eil walked around to the passenger side of the car and opened the door for Holly. “Nah, I’m not telling. I rather not ruin the surprise of Christmas morning.” It wasn’t anything bad, he put a lot of time and effort into the gifts he picked for everyone. Once he made sure that Holly was in the passenger side of the car, he closed the door and made his way over to the other side where he got into the driver’s side and started the car. “Don’t worry about paying, I’ll take care of it.” He wasn’t sure if Scott and Carol had money for the normal world, and besides, he himself made enough to take care of Holly’s gifts.

    A dramatic sigh left her lips, as she followed Neil out to his car, reaching for the handle on the passenger side. “Not even any hints? Or letting me in what you’ve gotten other people? You’re no fun!” Surprises were half the fun of Christmas, that much was true, but Holly liked to try and find out as much as she could regardless. “Are you sure?” Holly hummed, once she’d climbed in, closed the door, and reached for her seatbelt. This was one of the many things she didn’t exactly do back home, but even so, it wasn’t the most exciting thing in the world. “I’m sure I could figure something else out.”

ultrastrum​     /     kit fuller.

       “ nah, its fiiiine, you don’t have to do anything for me. i’ve been doing just fine up until now without any christmas magic. ” kit was deliberately not answering the other question holly had asked, seeing as their living situation was best described as complicated. although that was description was barely even scratching the surface, how were they supposed to explain coherently they sometimes live in a box with a madwoman through space and other times above an ice-cream shop … when the room isn’t rented out by someone else.

     “ … anywaaaaaaaaay, lets get back to your lack of magic powers or whatever. ”

    there were so many more questions she wanted to ask, but it was pretty clear kit was trying to put an end to the conversation, and while she’d been raised in a place with a distinct lack of regular human people, she still got hints, and they were dropping a pretty big one. she’d have to hold her tongue, at least for a little while, try and dig a little deeper later, see how she could possibly help out...and there had to be some way, didn’t there? she’d figured that out once she’d talked to kit a little more. “oh yeah, about that. i mean, i guess maybe i just don’t know what they are yet? but i’m pretty sure i would know by now. i mean, cal and sandra discovered them around the same time, you know?”

timesense​     /     river ayers.

River appreciated Holly’s curiosity… and the rare opportunity to award such curiosity. She chuckled at the assumption. “No, the Old Girl isn’t magic.” It’s technology that she wouldn’t get into then. Head tilted slightly. “Is your father’s sleigh sentient?”

    Sentient...she was pretty sure it wasn’t. Holly hadn’t exactly flown in the sleigh ( unfortunately, she wasn’t allowed ), but she’d not heard anything that suggested it could be. The sleigh flew because of the reindeer, and the magic that powered them, not because of anything it could do itself. “Pretty sure it’s not, no. Just a regular sleigh, armed with magic and flying reindeer. Is the TARDIS sentient?”

merveiilles​     /     neil miller.

“𝓐n emergency?” Neil repeated as he saw Holly rush to get her coat and put it on, declaring that it wasn’t a huge emergency, but rather that she hasn’t done all her Christmas shopping just yet. Neil walked over toward the front door and grabbed his own coat. “I can take you shopping, no worries. I was planning on getting a few things to finish off stocking stuffers anyway.” He then opened the front door for her to head outside and toward the car. “Did you have any places in mind?”

    “I mean, the mall will do. We don’t exactly have malls back home, and I can hardly get everyone presents in the workshop...” Well, arguably she could, but she doubted if the adults in her life would be as enthused with toys as the little kids who opened them under their trees on Christmas morning. “What have you bought for everybody?”

    “but...it’s christmas,” holly mumbled, as if it wasn’t obvious. of course it was, that was probably the point. she knew fine well that people struggled with the season for one reason or another, and not everybody celebrated...but still, it was sad to think people loathed the holidays so much. outside of the grinch and scrooge, who was that against it? “do you celebrate other holidays at least?”

     a meme from marv merchants [...]  “Watch me shove all these latkes in my mouth.” sent by @merveiilles​! 

     It wasn’t every day that grown men said they could shove a bunch of food in their mouth at one time. Cal made such comments on occasion, but he was a teenage boy – it was pretty much to be expected. Holly gave him an odd look, though she had to admit she was curious to know whether or not he could actually do it. “You sure you can do that? Have you done it before? That many?”

    a meme from buddy hobbs [...]     “I didn’t know what to buy you, so..I made you something…” sent by @merveiilles​​!

    Eyebrows rose, as Holly looked up at him, eager and curious. Given the whole ‘raised by elves’ thing, she was willing to bet he knew how to make decent things. At least, she was hoping so. Regardless of what it was, however, she was excited, eager to see what he’d put effort into. “Oh yeah? What is it?”

     a meme from neil miller [...]   “I’ve had my tree up since November.” sent by @merveiilles​!

    “That doesn’t surprise me...” From the stories she’d been told, it didn’t sound as if Neil and Laura had always been quite so passionate about Christmas, but he’d always seemed super into it in all the time she’d known him. The Millers would fit right in at the North Pole, if they weren’t so attached to their normal lives back home. “Actually, I’m a little surprised it wasn’t earlier. Aunt Laura wouldn’t let you?”

    “not even a little hint? a tiny clue?” while holly would always claim that she hated surprises, that wasn’t true in the slightest – she simply wanted to know what gifts were, patience wasn’t her forte. why would it be, when the other option was learning what she was getting for christmas? “what if i guess? then you have to tell me, right?”

[youngestclaus]

     a meme from lauren bloom [...]  “Watch me shove all these latkes in my mouth.”  sent by @trustschaos​!

    well...that wasn’t something she heard every day. it had happened before, people suggesting they could shove way too many of something in their mouth, but it was usually her idiot brother suggesting he could eat way too many marshmallows. latkes was a whole new one on her...though she had to admit, she was curious to see if lauren could actually do it. “oh, believe me, i’m watching. how many can you do?”

     a meme from carol newman [...]   “It’s perfect…” sent by @mrscarolclause​!

    “you like it?” holly was practically bouncing on the balls of her feet, watching her mom open the christmas gift. it wasn’t always easy, finding the perfect presents for her family – it wasn’t like they had shops or the opportunity for amazon deliveries in the north pole, and while they quite literally lived in santa’s workshop, she was hardly going to gift her parents toys. the scrapbook of family photos, while not the most original idea, had taken weeks to actually compile. “i had aunt laura and uncle neil send me some pictures, too.”

    a meme from charlie calvin [...]  ❛  what should we name our snowman?  ❜ sent by @magicglobe​!

    “is frosty too much of a cliche?” it almost definitely was, and holly knew it. cliches weren’t always a bad thing, though – it probably wasn’t the most original name for a snowman, though, and given their family they could do way better than that. “you should choose. i mean, i build snowmen all the time, you don’t always get the chance...” snow was one of the constants in the north pole, but unlike cal, sandra and herself, he didn’t spend nearly as much time there. their lives were entirely different, despite having the same dad. “you got any ideas?”
