25 Days of Hellmas

Day 1: Christmas Decorating (Hell Style)

Months since Charlie and her Happy Hotel, now renamed the Hazbin Hotel, courtesy of Alastor, opened and they haven't gotten any sinners to check in. Well, that wouldn't bring down her hope that someone would check in. And to bring up the mood; she had the perfect idea to do that. She remembered her father telling her about this holiday that humans celebrate in the winter, Christmas. A holiday with tree decorating, hanging stockings, cozying up by the fire, opening presents, eating cookies, and drinking eggnog. A holiday that is all about spending time with family and friends. This was just the thing to brighten up everyone's mood.

Charlie gathered everyone in the lobby then she pitched her idea of celebrating Christmas here at the hotel. Alastor let out a loud laugh, Angel and Husk scoffed at the idea, but Niffty and Vaggie seemed to be on board with Charlie's idea. "And why should we? Being in Hell is nothing to be cheerful about!" Alastor stated.

"Come on Al. It'll be fun. Plus, you are always looking for some entertainment." Charlie answered.

Well, that changed Alastor's mind about celebrating Christmas. And of course, Charlie had to promise Angel and Husk that they would have some spiked eggnog when they were done. Alastor used his powers to create a huge box filled with Christmas decorations, but they weren't traditional Christmas decorations. Vaggie reached into the box to grab one of the decorations but something wrapped around her arm and tried to pull her in. Charlie grabbed Vaggie by the waist to pull her free. The thing that grabbed Vaggie was a wreath that was alive. "What the fuck, Alastor?! What is this thing?!" Vaggie yelled.

"A Christmas wreath! Obviously!" Alastor answered with a smile.

Husk decided to be daring and reach into the box to pull something out. He pulled out blood-red garnish that had little skeleton heads hooked onto it. Niffty pulled out black and red Christmas lights that were for the tree. Vaggie was finally free from the killer wreath, thanks to Charlie. "Um, Alastor, maybe we could have normal decorations?" Charlie asked.

"This is normal. Hell normal." Alastor answered.

"Meh. It's all the same. Long as you got mistletoe in there." Angel stated with a cheeky grin.

Angel reached into the box, digging for the mistletoe. There were bony reindeer decorations, Santa hats, weird little ornaments for the tree, a black star, and even stockings that had everyone's names. Angel finally found the mistletoe then he got an idea. He picked it out of the box then he casually slipped behind Husk and held the mistletoe above them. Husk turned around and he was under the mistletoe. "Oh dear. It looks like we're under the mistletoe." Angel said, faking being surprised.

Angel puckered his lips, waiting for husk to kiss him back. Husk then grabbed the living wreath and held it in front of Angel. The wreath then attacked Angel right in the face, instead of a kiss from Husk, he got a monster wreath in the face. Husk was rolling in laughter as Angel was struggling to get the wreath off his face. Charlie raced over to Angel and pulled the wreath off of Angel's face. "The wreath stays," Husk stated.

Niffty sprung into action and quickly hung the garnish around the lobby and hung the stockings by the fireplace. Charlie put the wreath outside and hung it on the door. Angel put mistletoe all over the hotel, hoping to snag a kiss from either Alastor or Husk.
