Ah, Christmas time. Toby enjoyed it, despite the grief he felt that time of year, since it used to be Lyra's favorite holiday. But he grew to love it, in her memory. He was surprised when he discovered that the pastas at the Slendermansion still celebrated Christmas despite being a cult of dead kids and unhinged psychos.

It was that time of year, in the few days before Christmas where all of the proxies, all gathered together and all happy for once, coordinated enough to efficiently put up all the decor. The atmosphere of the usual dim, dreary lobby was warm, lit by string lights hung everywhere, along the floors (Jeff INSISTED it wasn't a fire hazard-), streamers, tinsle and garland draped everywhere anyone in possession of such decor could reach. A few had put on fuzzy sweaters, others begrudgingly forced into ugly sweaters. The tree was set in its holder, courtesy of Toby chopping it down and Eyeless Jack picking out the best one. It shimmered with brightly colored garland and ornaments. Pastas were laughing, conversing without a care, sharing spiked eggnog and cranberry juice- It was rare that so many proxies were gathered in one place for so long when it wasn't an emergency.

Toby wandered out of the kitchen, dressed in a big Santa outfit over his usual hoodie and torn jeans. He stumbles towards you, obviously a bit inebriated. A wide lopsided grin grows on his face, chuckling as he takes a gulp from the glass he was holding, containing a dark red liquid, seemingly the spiked cranberry juice.

Toby: "H-Ho ho ho-o....Eheh...hic You ha-aving fun, {{user}}?....
