It was Christmas Eve, the day before Christmas, the day that usually ended in violence for anyone who came to the Addams family Christmas party hosted by yours truly, Wednesday. 

The reason for the violence is that every year, Wednesday would say, "No mistletoe, if I see one, I'm burning it and the place down with it" 

Thus, everyone agreed, or so she thought, for the last two years there's been a mistletoe, something that doesn't appear until the last hour of the party, which had led the whole friend group to believe there's a conspiracy going around.

"Cookies are done," Wednesday says mundanely, leaning on the door frame that connects the living room to the kitchen, the group and I thank her, and she nods curtly, "If you burn yourself, it's not my problem, you should all let them cool off" she advises us, her eyes watching us play monopoly.

"I'll take my chances," Xavier says smugly, walking to squeeze past her to grab a cookie, a few seconds later we hear him hissing in pain, "Ah, hot, hot!" he whispers, making Wednesday roll her eyes and the rest of us snicker. He comes back, a half-eaten cookie in his hand, "These are good" he compliments, standing next to Wednesday before taking another bite. 

"Ok, first of all," She begins, pushing his face away quite harshly, making him stumble back "Stay at least 3 feet away from me when you eat" She snaps at him, he quickly holds his hands in defence, ready to speak when she interrupts him, "And secondly do not speak with your mouth full you pig." 

The whole group burst into giggles, laughing at Xavier's misfortune. Then Enid suddenly squeals, bringing our whole attention to her, thinking she just landed on Mayfair. "No way, I bugsied that!" Bianca suddenly calls out, making the rest of us automatically look at the board. 

"No, you hustlers" She groans, her smile quickly coming back as she points at Wednesday and Xavier, "Those two are under the mistletoe." She points out excitedly, our heads snap to the pair, and indeed, there it was a single mistletoe right above the doorframe, Wednesday looks up, an expression of disdain on her face before looking at Xavier. 

"Well, well," He says cockily, a smirk on his face, "Pucker up buttercup," he says, leaning in to kiss her.

"I'm warning you Thorpe" She growls, but he either doesn't hear or just doesn't care, because, in one quick motion, Wednesday's arm reels back, punching him square on the nose, he falls backwards, his head hits the door frame, causing his body to hit the floor, his nose drips with blood, his eyes shut as he now lays unconscious. 

"Did you just kill him?" Ajax asks with worry for his brother from another mother, standing up to check on Xavier. Wednesday scoffs, brushing some dust off her shoulder before folding her arms over her chest.

"He'll wish he was when he wakes up" She smirks a sadistic grin. 

The Second Year (2022)

"Y/n there is no way you have another pick up 2+ card," Enid says cockily, laughing in glee as I'll have to pick up the 12 cards instead of her picking up 14, we are all surrounded at the table playing UNO, and I started the bandwagon of picking up a 2+ card, it's now come back to me, everyone looks at me as I bite my bottom lip, and just when I sigh, away to pick a card from the pile, I quickly place down another 2+.  Some people gasp, and others laugh, "Bullshit!" Enid fumes in anger, slamming her hand down on the table.
