WHO: Henry Claus and Santa Claus
WHAT: Goddamn Christmas
WHEN: December 22nd
WHERE: Their house (Sen can choose NYC or Chicago)
WARNINGS: Probably not much

Since Charity herself had said she loved his father's work, he had been going over and over her words in his head. He felt his father stood for a lot of what was wrong with Christmas, but Charity seemed to think otherwise and that was a interesting perspective to think about.

Still, it was getting closer and closer to his father's big day and so Henry was trying his best to avoid the big man. They did live together, however, since Henry seemed unable to manage on his own. Running into his father was unavoidable. And when he did, he tried to put a smile on his face, even as he was clearly drinking egg nog the way it was meant to be served; with lots and lots of rum.

	"She was fine," he said with a shrug. "She said nice things about you. Something about how you helped foster a spirit of giving." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Ah, well yes, that is part of it." Nick frowned a little in confusion. "And you feel... what? about it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It was interesting," he said in a non-committal tone. To be honest, he had never thought about it that way before. He wasn't about to say he agreed though. "I always saw it as promoting commercialism." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yes, you've made your opinions on that quite clear over the years," Nick said wryly, reaching to hunt in the cupboards for his stash of gingerbread. "Your mother is wondering if you will be joining us properly for Christmas this year? or if there is another retreat you are heading to?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Henry rolled his eyes when his father went in search of something sugary no doubt. "I suppose I could make an appearance. If you would like me to." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Your mother and I would appreciate it." Nick found the cookie jar and ravenously bit the head off a gingerbread man. "Do you want one?" he offered, holding the jar out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Henry didn't want to disappoint his mother. Besides, being away from his parents was terrifying, but he wasn't about to admit that. "Alright, I guess I could hang around." When his father offered him a cookie, he shook his head. "You should probably lay off them too, you know. Or at least go organic." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nick huffed, took a second cookie from the jar, then put it back in the cupboard. "I can't help it. I get cravings. I get given a ton of them as gifts at this time of year. I've already eaten all the shortbread." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You could give them to me and I could donate them to a children's home," Henry said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "I suppose it's a good thing you can't have a heart attack." (Reply to this) (Parent)
