Or happy holidays if you don't celebrate it, I know I'm late and I'm sorry.

I hope 2023 is a good year for you guys, let's see what it brings.

Thank you all for sticking with me and my outcasts, means a lot really. I never thought that I'd start a community by just making some stupid characters for fun.

For now, just relax and join the party.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Frost covered the edges of the kitchen windows, the pink haired male looked out of it, a mug of hot chocolate in his hands while he softly smiled.

Outside, Asher was shoveling their large driveway without breaking a sweat, Jaxie was with him, enjoying himself by laying in the snow sprawled out like a starfish.

He wasn't sure why Asher wanted to shovel the driveway, since Lockheart could have just walked through it and melt it all. But, the wolf was stubborn when he wanted to put his mind to something.

Cupid looked over his shoulder, and the mess of five gingerbread houses, which all sat upon the kitchen counter. He smiles, thinking back to a time where they had to solve a mini mystery of who'd stolen his prized gingerbread cookies.

He rests his empty mug down into the sink, resting his hands in his sweater pockets. Christmas was a wonderful time of year, where they all could just relax, and spend time together.

So many memories in this house, it had truly been a year. It seems like you blink once and winter is already in full swing.

The angel hums, finally leaving the kitchen with a big red plate of Christmas cookies he'd made himself. No matter what had changed, he never did loose his love for baking.

In the living room, the fireplace roared, a large flat screen above it playing various Christmas movies over and over. Many stockings filled to the brim hung above the mantle.

There was a large Christmas tree by the large bay windows, shining brightly in all its glory. Various hand made decorations, along with store bought ones covered the tree from top to bottom.

There was a huge red tree skirt with lots of gifts stacked nicely, thanks to Fear and his need for neatness.

Speaking of the spider, Fear sat in the recliner close to the fire, looking down at the glowing thread like webbing in his hands.

He was sewing again, it looked like the start of another pillow perhaps. The ivory haired male sent a half smile to the angel, before continuing with his little project.

Lockheart stood against the wall, closest to the Christmas tree with his arms crossed. A glass of wine in his hand, while his tail flicked back and forth. He sighs, but he doesn't look as agitated as he usually does.

Cody swatted away one of his vipers when one of them tried to sneak a bite of the caramel popcorn in his lap. "Greenie!"

Cupid giggles, moving to take a seat next to the hairstylist, he places the plate of cookies upon the coffee table. "Give them a few of these, should keep them busy."

The green haired male snorts. "Alright, if you say so." He reaches for a few cookies, holding four of them in one hand and sure enough the sneaky little vipers swipe them from his grasp.

"Its good to have you here for the holidays." Cupid says giving him a side hug. Its one the gorgon happily returns.

"You're not getting rid of me that easily pixie stick." Cody says with a laugh, his silver fangs shining like his violet eyes behind his protective glasses.

The short male steps out of the recliner he was sitting in, Fear walks over to the two of them and sets a navy blue pillow in the lanky males lap. "Good to see you, snake eyes." He smiles.

Cody grins. "Good to see you to legs."

Fear shakes his head with a genuine smile, two of his fangs sticking out over his bottom lip.

The snake haired male returns it with a goofy grin of his own, he takes the hand made pillow and tucks it behind his head all the while still sitting up.

The front door opens.

"You better not track snow in on my floor!" Cupid warns in a playful tone.

"Don't vworry! Vwe know!" Jaxie replies, the vampire joining the group in the living room with his hands in his pockets. There were white flakes still in his jet black hair.

Asher is close behind, shrugging off his coat, he shakes like a dog and tiny flakes of snow fall off of him instantly. "I'll mop it later, just no one bust there ass alright?" He laughs.

Cupid rolls his eyes, scooting over a little to let the vampire take a seat next to him. The Angel's cheeks flush when Jaxie wraps an arm around his shoulders.

"What are you..?"

Jaxie laughs a lazy laugh, shrugging his shoulders. "I'm freezing my ass off and I'm cold?"

"I thought vampires weren't affected by temperature?" Fear says with a glint of mischief in his eyes, his lips curled in a smirk.

Honestly, it was almost scary seeing the spider so cheerful.

The vampire scoffs. "Don't ruin the mood!"

The tall werewolf finally takes a seat on the other side of the couch, a cookie already between his top and bottom set of fangs.

"When are we passing gifts out?" Lockheart asks with a lifted brow.

"Patients. Good things come to those who wait." Fear reminds him, walking passed him to boop the fallen angel's nose.

Lockheart instinctively pulls away, eyes narrowing. "Okay, did someone spike the hot chocolate? Because I'm convinced Fear is drunk as fuck."

Cupid shakes his head. "No, I thought I said there wasn't going to be any alcohol at this party?"

Lockheart shrugs, looking down at his wine glass. "You said nothing too hard."

The angel rolls his eyes. "You're impossible."

The red head grins. "No, I'm an asshole."

Fear returns to his recliner. "I may have had a little bit of Cody's whiskey, but I promise I'm a fun drunk! Besides its the holidays!"

There's a frustrated sigh, Cupid pinches the bridge of his nose.

Jaxie does his best to comfort the angel, patting his back with his wing.

"I just hope you aren't going to do anything stupid when the misfits get here.."

Holidays may be the best when celebrated with friends or family, but they could never be perfect.

Especially when you had a drunk spider to deal with.

I hope you enjoyed! I know its been a good while since I've written anything, and I apologize.

Motivation and inspiration are a hard thing to find for me.

Anyway, I hope you had a Merry Christmas or a good holiday!

I'll see you soon~! Xoxo-Artsy.
