Christmas

Christmas was a winter celebration which existed in many universes. It happened in late December and involved the giving of presents.

In worlds where he existed, this was handled by Santa Claus, though he was not essential to the process: (PROSE: The Time of the Toymaker) Christmas shopping for presents to give to one's loved ones was equally common. One version of Jenny Everywhere, for example, liked to do her shopping at Ms Amelia's shop every year for this purpose. (PROSE: The Winter Quests) One was also expected to send out Christmas cards.

History

Jenny Everywhere was wont to organising large Christmas parties involving multiple versions of herself and their companions. (COMIC: Merry Christmas Everywhere)

The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids learned of Christmas in 1986 via their Celestial Telescopes, understanding it to be considered “a time of love and sharing” by Earthlings. As such, they assumed it would be a favourable time to ply their trade unnoticed, what with people already being in the right frame of mind. The same year, however, the Gang of the Green Gorilla attempted to advance their agenda by highjacking the supermarket of the ordinary town of Vanityville and forcing holiday shoppers to buy nothing but green-gorilla merchandise. The encounter between these Gorillas and a group of Cupids led by Amadeo-378 let to the “Skirmish at the Vanityville Supermarket”. (PROSE: The Green Gorillas)

The Cupids originally refused to celebrate Christmas themselves, for fear of causing a version of Santa Claus to come into existence in the Cupid Homeworld. However, they were persuaded to in 2020 by some of the non-Clockwork Cherub inhabitants of the Homeworld, such as Lord Thymon and Sneernobiel, to alter this rule. It was ultimately agreed that the Crew would order toys directly from the Interdimensional Toymaker without going through Santa Claus. (PROSE: The Time of the Toymaker)

In 2021, CS-NA went on a quest across dimensions to try and learn the “Meaning of Christmas” so that he could organise the best possible Christmas party for the Crew. In parallel with this, Pythagoras-858 and Juliet-178 found themselves on an adventure involving Norse deities. (PROSE: The Winter Quests)
