[ Have a considerably calmer fire demon. He tugs at the cloth covering his third eye with a bit of nervous, curious expression, blanket across his lap and a steaming cup of tea in his hand. Honestly it's kind of cute in comparison to his usual scowl. Over his shoulder you might notice the chair he uses to reach any and all of the cabinets but -

[Said with a totally straight face. Hehehe.] No one's managed to beat him yet though.

[ color him interested. hiei shifts a little under his blanket, pulling the communicator closer, probably leaning it against his legs from the point of view kuwabara has now, sipping away at that tea cup. ] Urameshi never did that....
He might just break into human households because you're too weak to get him out.
[ STRONGEST HUMAN ALIVE? NOPE. NO YOU AREN'T KUWABARA. ] What about the mistletoe though?

YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE, DEEP DOWN INSIDE] You're supposed to kiss the person under the mistletoe and then, technically pull off one of the berries. Once all the berries are gone you don't kiss anyone under there anymore.
Supposedly you get cursed or something if you don't... [He's the biggest ass sometimes. but this is worth it]
Why suddenly interested? [He raises an eyebrow]

So? I can get more at the super market. [ But that twitch of the eyebrow gave him away before he nearly buried his face in that cup of tea. Those strawberries are sacred and all his, you tall orange bastard. Don't you talk about his strawberries unless you want to be maimed. ]
How do you know that? You've never kissed a woman before. [ Note: he leaves out the possibility of a man. Problem?
But. Wait - ] How the hell is that plant going to curse me?
[ ... ] Just curious. [ Protip: Probably wants to strategically plant some in the apartment. ]

The general celebration is time spent with family and a meal. Alcohol is usually involved in the form of eggnog, but not actually a requirement unless you are used to drinking at a meal. The gifts don't have to be expensive... but heartfelt, something that shows you care.
The current tradition is to kiss under mistletoe, yes... but apparently it was originally a sign of protection. Hung over threshholds and doorways to protect against spirits ...and a poison used to kill a Norse god, not sure how those two things work together and neither really has to do with Christmas itself.
Don't feel pressured to kiss under mistletoe if you don't want to.

[ Oh, well that puts a wrench in things. His only technical family here is Yukina, and she doesn't even know he's her twin, which may just cause issues. Though he supposes that he could give her back her hirui for Christmas and tell her.
That would make an awesome Christmas, right? 'Surprise I lied for a few years but I'm your brother!'
....... No. No that wouldn't work at all. ] Well why would you kiss under it now if it's meant to kill something?
[ That would be messy, wouldn't it? Bloody, and all. ]

[ FRIENDS ARE A CRUTCH FOR THE WEAK!!!!! ] Hn. Why can't you spend Christmas alone?
[blinking.

wat.] ..... Do you live in a library? That doesn't even make sense.

Christmas is all about... [Insert a dramatic pause here.]
LOVE.
[Have all of the silly hand motions he has to offer, Hiei.]

[ Oh. You again.
The little demon's face falls, eyes rolling. ]
Then I guess this is an illusionary holiday, since 'love' is just an illusionary emotion. [ Welp. Guess who might boycott Christmas on everyone this year! ]

I suppose all children need to experience their rebellious years eventually.
While I would show you its reality... love is something that can only be found be yourself. Much like how I found Otae-san. [Cue some school girl shyness.]

[ He's just going to ignore that comment about him being a child - yet again. One of these days he'll prove that he's just a short guy!!!! ]
I don't care about your relationship. [ Well... at least he's.. honest? ]
The point is committing yourself so closely to one person will lead to decisions made without thought, and reckless behavior for their sake.
Besides, it has to be boring as well. [ Not like he would know.
Nope. ]

[ Tch. ] Then we can leave out all of those options. [ And yes he's very serious about that decision, because seriously: annoying. ]

[ He rolls his eyes, staring at his tea cup for a moment. ] Humans are always after things to sate their bodily weakness.
It's almost pathetic.

Regarding mistletoe... I suppose it fully depends on how persuasive the person facing you is and how suggestible you are to adhering unquestionably to pointless traditions.
Why do you have a third eye? I've seen it before, when you've posted to this network, but I have to admit I've been wondering about it.
Reply
So this entire thing is based off of basically a fairy tale.. ? Leave it to humans to make an excuse to have a large meal and alcohol over some woman giving birth amongst animals.
My third eye is a Jagan, or evil eye. I had it implanted. Where we're from is can sense others regardless of range and has significant power. Here it is simply a useless third eye.

Useless? You can't even see with it?

They're essentially the same thing.
No, I can see with it. But I've never used it for something like that anyway, so I certainly won't start now.
