This is Evie's first Christmas. Her first real Christmas. It's not celebrated on the Isle. A holiday about joy and cheer, goodwill to men? Giving gifts? No, that doesn't happen. She's heard of it, of course. Turned up her nose at it in front of everyone else on the Isle like a good VK. But the truth is?
This is the most magical holiday Evie can imagine and she loves it.
All the tinsel and lights, cheery gifts and warm smiles? It's the most beautiful thing she's ever laid eyes on. Best of all, she gets to spend it with Doug. That's without a doubt the best gift imaginable. Better than gems or new clothes or even her own castle.
Armed with a tray of hot cocoa with extra marshmallows and a plate of tree-shaped sugar cookies with sprinkles, Evie goes to search him out. And she's delightfully festive today too. She's wearing a royal blue velvet dress trimmed in white fur with tiny silver snowflakes embroidered on it. A matching snowflake tiara to match, of course. The prettiest part of her ensemble, however, has to be the way her whole face lights up when she finds Doug sitting by the fire.
Doug thinks that he has probably always taken Christmas for granted. It’s not that he was ungrateful but after meeting Evie and the others he realized how special all those years had been with his loving and rather large family. He’s happy that Evie gets to be a part of it all now too. And she’s never looked more beautiful than we she comes upon him keeping toasty by the fire. Then again, he always thinks every time is the most beautiful she’s ever been. He’s forever smitten by her.
“and what’d you bring?” He asked with a bit of a dopey smile and makes sure there’s a comfortable place beside him for her to settle into.
