*I pass all either apple juice, orange juice, or mango juice*




*you can say off to one side... sound of silly struggles and giggles as Flower is putting Firox in the Santa suit*

[?]

*happily enjoys meal for now and looks over at Grace, just waiting for dessert*

[Firox]

*she supposed to be making dessert... but she had it ready since the previous night*
*instead she is helping Joseph with the tree*




*as everyone noms the nachos - drinks the juice*
*except for four, they will soon*




*Flower calls out to all, standing next all eight Vees, ?, Sherrie, and myself*
"come on out sweetie Firox, you looks cute"
*as Firox comes out from behind the cat tree, giving off the silly sounding signature Santa laugh of 'ho ho ho'*   

Spoiler for "looking similar to one of my drawings, not in box or nomming cookie":

*all six giggle, then make the 'awww cute' sounds*

[?]

*giggles playfully as I watch*

[Firox]

*Flower kind of reminds other Flarey* "try to eat neatly, don't get the suit stained"


*Firox giggles noms nachos along side all*




*Joseph passes ? the button with the switch, telling all* "tree is finished too, ? would you like to turn it on?"




*all nine of us, Zoran, Flower, and the eight Vees, and ? sitting near the middle of the den, finishing up the nachos*

[?]

*nods and happily turns it on after eating main meal*

[Firox]

*as the tree lights from the bottom up, alternating colors, some of the ornaments light up too, some of the lights also alternate between turning on and off... leading to the star on top, which has image of an Eevee in the middle - about every hour or so the color pattern changes*
*Jyo uses the psychic to put the switch back under the tree*


*all six look amazed at how pretty it looks, Fi and Ethan also watching it*
*I smile looking at it* "good job you two"
*Joseph smiles seeing how good it looks like*
*Firox and Flower admire the sight*
*Arval looks too, nomming nachos with extra bacon on it*
*Jyo giggles, trying not to leap on one of the ornaments*
*Linette and Zoran share a nacho with each other admiring*
*Grace smiles at the hard work they put into it - heads to freezer to grab dessert*
*Sherrie wraps a ribbon around ?, one around the other Vees as it lights up*

[?]

*giggles while happily looking at the tree then playfully looks around again*

[Firox]

*Grace grabs something from freezer, being a bit careless, drops something else, sound of ice cubes hitting the floor*
"sorry everyone"
*grabs the ice cream cake, in the shape of a giant snowflake*




*as usual, while everyone is back, Jyo uses the psychic to use a knife to cut the dessert into equal shareable slices*
*cake is: vanilla ice cream top layer, below is the yellow sponge cake - with strawberry jam and fruit pieces in between, on top are some crumbled wafers to resemble snow*


*to be fair and be in holiday spirit, Grace decides to let all, even ?, enjoy the dessert without trying to catch or nip anyone*


*so all nine Vees, including ?, get the first pick*

[?]

( christmas feast is next time right?  )

*happily starts to nom some of the cake*

[Firox]

(yep, either Tuesday or Wednesday when you can visit - Tuesday is the 24th, Wednesday is the 25th)


*as the Vees nom, the rest of us grab our own slices of the cake*
*outside the den, starts to snow*
*Grace looks outside the window, in that super silly but excited voice, that tail wagging extra excitedly fast informs us* "its snowing outside" 
 


*Oh oh, Linette and Zoran look outside in the garden, nothing to worry about, as Jyo, Joseph, Firox, and myself last night we where building a greenhouse around them so the cold wouldn't damage it*

[?]

*happily looks at all the snow*  oooh 

*then after a bit playfully sits up and playfully calls out* all the desserts will be mines  will defeat all again  *playfully challenging all of den even if knows cant win against all still fun to try* 

[Firox]

*well, the six young ones, Fiona, and Ethan - along with Linette and Zoran sit by the window admiring the snow, as it slowly starts to pile up, as the den is located half way through the mountain, in small town snow falling too - sticking everywhere*




*? can imagine - Grace happily excited to get out, decides to give the a quick 'tail whip' yep hits the ?'s right side, quickly runs outside to enjoy a nice big walk in the snow, along the way Grace meets a few other ice-type Pokemon on the walk*




*only Jyo, Arval, Joseph, and Santa-suit Firox are around to battle*




*Jyo leaps from the side as ? is distracted, and tries to quickly eat a slice of cake before ? attacks*

[?]
