"XIAO! THAT'S TREE'S ON FIRE!!" and, suddenly, without warning, Boethius ran into the room, lifting his hands and attempting to freeze a plastic pine tree covered in blinking lights.
She blinked, turning around and smiling, "Well, Boe, this is a Christmas tree.. And no, it's not on fire.. Those are li-" she soon found herself half frozen from the waist down. She shuddered, trying to kick her legs free as she managed to turn her gaze towards her fae. He grinned sheepishly, hand rising to rest against the back of his head as he slowly started backing away.
Xiao sighed, hand rising to her brow as she managed to finally get free of the ice, brushing off her now freezing legs as she wrapped a blanket about her person, "It wasn't on fire, silly.. Those are electric lights. You put them on the tree or the house to make it look festive and all that jizzy.. This is a Christmas Tree," she smiled, and, once again continued putting on the ornaments on the tree.. Baubles of red, green, gold, and silver danced along the metallic branches, and garland and all manner of knicknacks soon draped around the tree itself.
Boethius furrowed his brow slightly, wings fluttering a bit as he lifted a hand and idly bit on his knuckle. He appeared to be having trouble conprehending this 'Christmas Tree' and the meaning of putting lights on it, "But.. Why is the tree inside..?" he then reached out, tugging on a branch only to find it wasn't even a real tree! It was made out of plastic!
"Huh!?" he blinked a few more times in mild surprise, and, soon enough hopped back to sit down on the floor with his knees to his chest. Xiao could only laugh at the youngster, "Aww, Boe, it's not a REAL tree.. It's something that me and my family Celebrate once a year!" she then placed a small faeire on the top of the tree, not bothering with an angel this year since she was living on her own with the fae.
"But.. What are you celebrating..?" Boe was still curious. He didn't understand much about this 'Grissmas' thing.. He tilted silver colored eyes upwards towards his mom as he hugged a bit tighter about his legs. Meanwhile, Xiao stepped back, hands on her hips as she examined the tree, then nodded in satisfaction before turning around once more and sitting beside Boethius, "Well, it's called 'Christmas'.. It's the time of year when me and my family celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ.."
"Who's Jesus..?" Boe quirked a brow, "Why would you celebrate some rich guy's birth..?" he tilted his head to the side as he soon leaned against Xiao, eyes half lidded as he listened.
"Well, Jesus wasn't some 'rich guy'.. He was a man who could perform miracles.. A human man.. The son of God, born to a virgin woman here on Earth to lead us in his way.." Xiao shrugged, "I'm more into the giving presents and getting them, myself.." she grinned, "I don't much care about the entire religious aspect of Christmas, sure, the Lord was born, but, it's not the main reason I celebrate it with my family. You see, I don't much go to church, you know that.."
"Oooh.. You mean that hippy looking guy with the long hair and beard that's in a lot of pictures?" Boe's eyes lit up as though he understood the entire aspect already. Xiao sweatdropped, this boy was a bit.. Thick.. She merely smiled, and lifted her hand, idly brushing through the white colored hair the fae had as he leaned over into her lap and rested.
"We give presents all throughout the month, but, we can't open them until the Twenty Fifth.. Our tradition is to open only one present the day before on Christmas Eve and then open all of the others on Christmas Day.." her fingers threaded through the locks as the boy sighed, eyes falling closed, "That sounds.. Interesting.. Will I have any presents..?" he turned his eyes upwards then, hazy irises staring up at the woman. She smiled quietly down at him, "Of course! I'll be sure to buy you something really special.."
He smiled sleepily, "Thanks.." he yawned, hand rising tocover his mouth and he snuggled deeper into her warmth..
"No problem, Boe.." with that, her hands continued as she lifted her gaze to the blinking lights on the christmas tree.. It was beautiful to her, but, she hoped this year, that Boe might actually be able to enjoy a decent Christmas with her..
(Is this okay..?)
