Holiday related meme (fandom holidays day 3)

[jedi_of_urth]

So, after an impromptu bit of Christmas decorating with my parents I thought tonight’s attempt at fandom action ought to be something actually Christmasy. And lacking time, inclination, and inspiration to write impromptu Christmas fic at the moment, I’m putting it in a different form. So even though last night’s attempt at meme-ing it up didn’t go anywhere, I’m doing another one tonight.


Name me a fandom and I’ll discuss how I think the characters celebrate the holidays.


(Although to be fair I was almost tempted to try my hand at OUaT fic because the Charming family at Christmas is just too beyond fluffy for words. But I’m not sure I’m comfortable having my first attempt at writing it being in this circumstance.)

Doctor Who!

Well, obviously they spend a lot of Christmases having to save the world, but in the mish-mashed world in my head at least it's a group thing.

Martha and Mickey try and invite everyone over for Christmas, Donna attempts to corner Jack under the mistletoe, (when the Doctor and Rose aren't there), the Doctor's on edge until the world actually get into peril at which point he's calm because things are going the way he expect them to. Sarah Jane and Luke are happy they hosted Christmas for the Bannerman Lane crowd and didn't go to Martha's party because things always get weird there; but they do start a tradition of getting all the old companions together on Boxing Day (though not all of them can come for various reasons).

Back when Miranda and Grayson were alive the Gilberts did big events around the holidays, but these days it's not like they have time to breathe and remember it is Christmas let alone take the time to actually do anything for it.

Back in the 1800s human Stefan and Damon grew up with pretty involved Christmases too, but Stefan long ago got to a point where it only made him feel emo and Damon acts like he doesn't enjoy it except for the parties and long late nights providing good access to fresh blood, but secretly they both still wish they could experience it like they did as kids still.

Caroline does go all out, loves decorating and gift giving but kind of forgets to actually enjoy the holiday outside of that.

Bonnie just kind of rolls with it, she's surrounded by people who make a big deal out of it so she gets plenty of that, but mostly she and her family just quietly enjoy the holiday.

The Originals have complicated relationships with the holiday; they have no emotional connection to it but sometimes they really like to act like it's a big deal to them.
