Title: Baby's First Non-Religious Multiethnic All-Inclusive Winter Holiday Festival, II
Challenges: Snape's holiday celebration snape100, Yule lupin100
Word Count: 100
Note: this is the long-awaited Motherless Child holiday fic. It will continue through Twelfth Night unless it gets completely out of hand, in which case, all bets are off.
Those not familiar with Motherless Child and its sequels/prequels need to know that Severus and Remus are married and have adopted a baby werewolf. It is now the holiday season, and an unexpected controversy has arisen as their families descend for Christmas/Hanukkah/Solstice/Yule/Hogmana y/Festivus….
"I knew it." Severus yanked off his new, still-uncomfortable reading glasses. "I haven't changed my mind. Baptizing our son - "
"No, no, it's not that!" Remus held up his hands before Severus could get up a full head of steam. "Father Humeniuk knows better. He's invited Mum and me to services on Christmas Eve but he doesn't expect you or Esther or her family."
"He'd best not," said Severus, curling his lip. His cousins were not Orthodox, but tolerance had its limits. "So what did he want?"
Remus held out a copy of the church bulletin and braced himself.
