joel absolutely loves everything about christmas, from the advent calendars to decorating christmas trees- you and your gf elli, on the other hand, hate christmas and joel has no clue why.

he managed to convince you both to come to a christmas market downtown with him, it took a while of bribery and begging but eventually you and ellie gave up and agreed

“almost there guys, ready to take pictures with santa?” he says, chuckling to himself, thinking he’s funny.

“what are you even supposed to do at a stupid christmas market?” ellie asks skeptically and she looks at you, as she flicks through the page of her comic book, that she’s reread a bajillion times.
