A Very Vicey Christmas XVII: Sparkle like silver

Dec 25, 2023 03:31

While the dates on the calendar remain the same, the holidays often grow and change with us. Happy things are both added and taken away with time, but traditions that are precious to us persist through the years. We can keep memories alive in this time of year and take the time to relax and reflect amongst all of the hustle and bustle. Part of taking the time is to make our connections stronger with each other and ourselves. With that in mind, here's a holiday story for one and all. A bit of pop culture knowledge is helpful, but never required.

Let me invite you into my home, for another special Vice Christmas tale.

Hello friends! Shirokuma, Mr. Frost, and Burbear are together again! But this time, they have invited one of Shirokuma's friends from the corner, Neko!



Neko loves treats, so everyone was excited to see what sweet things were ready this year.



A new spin on an old favorite! Butter cookies are very tasty, so having flavors of chocolate, caramel, and brown sugar with them are even better! Let's grab our favorite flavor and gather around for a Christmas time story.

Here's a favorite of mine, where we return to the place not so far away where all of our familiar friends gather in the wonder of Christmas. ^_^



Speaking of treats, we can hear some more chatter about sweet things.



'Where did you get those?!' Gojo asks Kyoko. The warm taiyaki are seemingly perfect on a cooler day. It's the season of sharing, so Kyoko might just let Gojo have one. Speaking of sharing and giving...



The holidays have warmed the heart of Yelena, who looks to cheer up Natasha with a wrapped present. Other sounds of the holidays can be heard.



"Taking the golden rings literally, huh, Sonic?" Link asks. A party gathers while Ulala brings Akira a warm drink. But, there's still more holiday preparation to be done.



The star at the top of the tree is made of hard light this year as Kamala and Carol exchange a high five for Kamala's good work. But if the Marvels are decorating the tree, is anyone guarding the presents?



Being someone who loves to steal, it's not a surprise to see Kano around these parts. But can anyone foil his schemes?



There's Monica! She'll set Kano straight. Christmas is safe once again.



It's always good to have help as Santa wraps up this year's festive gift giving.

And that's the end of my Christmas tale. There's other parts like the Christmas robots meeting a new friend, Yuji getting a high score and missing Santa, and mistaken spider identities, but the best part of Christmas stories is passing them along, adding your own details and adventures. Happy holidays to all. ^_^

Thank you for reading my story. =) There seemed to not be enough time this year, despite getting started what felt early enough. Allergies have also been really tough over the past couple weeks, too. This holiday season isn't over yet and I'm trying to bring optimism into the rest of the holiday and the new year. May your holiday season be filled with joy and love. Merry Christmas, everyone!
