[Connor]
Do you want to go with me to pick out a tree for the house?

[Barbara]
You had healthier Christmases than I did. Any suggestions on what should or shouldn't do?

[Bruce Wayne]
Do you have plans for Christmas?

	Other than a bit of time here with the Kents, no. I didn't have any actual plans for Christmas. Do you? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I'm going to try to help Conner have a good holiday. Did you want to have dinner sometime around then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm sure Conner will have a good holiday between you and the Kents. I'd love to, actually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I hope so. I know he's having some trouble feeling like he's fitting in (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know he's been getting along rather well with Clark's son, Jordan. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Bruce \| Dick trustedbatman 2023-12-15 04:55 am UTC (link)
	That's good. Back home he made friend with other kids like him, but here there's not a lot of need for a bunch of kids with powers to fight crime together (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know both children in the Kent household have abilities. They're all amazing children, including Conner. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Bruce \| Dick trustedbatman 2023-12-17 01:02 am UTC (link)
	Hopefully that means Conner can find some common ground and start feeling like he belongs here (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hopefully. That's all we can do, is hope. (Reply to this) (Parent)

I'm pretty sure you can figure out what you shouldn't do. But as for should you could get a tree, decorate both the inside and outside, buy gifts, and the normal things like that. Maybe you and Conner can do some holiday baking aka make the kitchen a huge mess. ~~Then I can die laughing at the disaster that comes from it.~~

I'm sure Lois and Clark would welcome you and you can go see them for the holidays or do something at your place, inviting them over. There are plenty of options. What were you thinking? I can say yay or nope to the idea.

I just want to help Conner feel like he belongs here by making the holidays not terrible. I need to check in with him about how he's feeling about Clark now that it's been a few months.

I'll see about a tree and decorations. Maybe you can come shopping with me to make sure I don't pick terrible decorations out.

I'd thought it'd be nice to do something with Bruce too.

I understand, and I think that's very sweet. You can always see if there is anything specific he wants to do. That will not only give you some ideas but help you see what he might want to do for the holidays. Even offer to help him go gift shopping for the Kents cause he might want some ideas.

I'm always happy to point out your horrible taste in decorations. It's definitely one of my favorite past times telling you how horrible your taste can be. Seriously though, I'm happy to go shopping with you considering I need to get some more gifts for people.

I think that's a great idea. What were you thinking?

	That's a good idea. I'll bring up gift shopping and hopefully he'll take me up on the offer. I'm not sure about Bruce. I want to say a dinner, but maybe that's only because that's all we ever used to do (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Dick/Barbara wantstodogood 2023-12-16 01:41 am UTC (link)
	I'm glad you like my idea. You and him can work together to pick out some ideas for gifts. I'm sure he'll take you up on that offer. You can do dinner and something else. You're not just stuck with having to pick one, Dick. Is there anything growing up you always wanted to do with Bruce? You can use this as your chance to do it or at least, suggest it.

	Sure. I've been seeing that's popular. I have no idea what we're doing for Christmas, if anything yet..but maybe you can come over to our place too for a while? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Dick/Conner trustedbatman 2023-12-10 05:30 am UTC (link)
	Of course. I was going to see what Lois and Clark thought. I was also going to invite Bruce over for dinner sometime around the holidays too (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Dick/Conner partiallysuper 2023-12-10 05:35 am UTC (link)
	That sounds good. I think. That's what you do at Christmas right? Have you seen all the lights around? The weird part is, I have some Christmas memory but I've never actually done Christmas. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Dick/Conner trustedbatman 2023-12-10 06:39 pm UTC (link)
	I have. I won't lie, I didn't hate the Dome decorating my house for me. You have Christmas memory? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Dick/Conner partiallysuper 2023-12-11 02:05 am UTC (link)
	Thought you'd like getting up on the roof. Doing those flips and things. Yeah, but I know it isn't mine. Some of them are Lex's I think. Business suits and champagne. It's..weird (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Dick/Conner trustedbatman 2023-12-11 03:19 am UTC (link)
	I think if I started to do flips while putting up Christmas lights I would get the police called on me or something. ~~I have those kind of memories too~~ Let's make better memories then. More fun than fancy dinner parties. Trust me (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Dick/Conner partiallysuper 2023-12-11 03:29 am UTC (link)
	Hah. Fair. There was also some stuff with an older guy, and him as a child. Might be his dad? I'm not sure..it's just confusing. Hard to get it out of my head so yeah. Better ones would be great, Lex's dad was not a great person. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Dick/Conner trustedbatman 2023-12-15 04:56 am UTC (link)
	I can only imagine what he was like ~~to spawn Lex~~. We're going to have a good Christmas this year, I know it (Reply to this) (Parent)
