I have to believe that they will get better for him. I hope that he'll get to keep the love of the family he gained and become some adorable patriarch for them and stay with them through the following generations, though it would be hard to see them come and go, and also I hope he finds romantic love again, which I think he will, even if it causes him pain in the end. *hugs*

Ohhh...
these were lovely and sad, I'm glad Spike has a family.

*many hugs* Me too. I had to give him some hope. He got some good Christmases over the years, and it's too bad that some of the prominent ones in his memories are mainly sad or tinged with sadness.

Thanks for reading!

I like that he doesn't mind the son-in-law but continues to let him be frightenend of him - so typical Spike lol.

Awkward for family dinners, but ultimately hilarious. XD

Spike has so little joy especially at the holidays you chose. But there is always next year. He has more time...

Poor Spike, he has had some really good Christmases, mostly from his early childhood and after 2005. His years with Dru pre-Sunnydale were probably nice as well. It's unfortunate though that probably the ones most prominent in his memory, as I wrote it, weren't that great on the whole. I hope it'll get better for him, maybe next year with getting to know his step-grandbabies better. :D

Thanks for reading!

Spike, either through some miraculous gift or from his upbringing, has the most amazing capacity for love. He seeks out out even when it hurts him, and once he's found a source that he believes will bring him love in return he clings to it. Once he has a family or familial grouping of people, he will stay with them until he is somehow physically separated from them- the Fanged Four, the Scoobies, Angel's friends, the Asylum crew, - so, in the end, I think he will stay with his new family for as long as he can. Unfortunately, as long as the people he's around are mortal, the possibility that one day he'll once again be alone will always loom over him. There's also the possibility that he will one day be more monstrous in appearance like the Master, which will make it hard for him to stay around regular people. All of which brings up my second favourite aspect of Spike's character- his ability to adapt and survive. I heart my manpire vampire-man. *hugs him*

Thanks for reading! :D
