Christmas Day had arrived, everyone sat around the tree as they gazed at which presents were theirs and what could be inside of them after playing a game of secret Santa a few weeks ago. Edward, Sam and Hatter sat on the floor being the most excited out of everyone while everyone else stood around or sat in the couch and chairs. Jack and Sweeney drinking some eggnog.

"Okay let's see who this is for..." Gilbert grabbed a present and looked to find a name tag. "This is to Mort from Glen" and he handed it to Mort.

Mort stared at the box a little until he opened it and pulled out a brand new robe. "I saw that your old robe had holes and it looked to be wormed out and old" Glen stated as Mort continued to stare at his new robe.

"Uh thanks," Mort said awkwardly and tucked it away.

Gilbert continued digging through the presents until he found one that seemed suited for the next person.

"This is to Jack from me" said Gilbert as he handed the present to Jack. "Ah nice" the pirate grinned as he shook the box which Gilbert told him not to shake it.

After a while, Jack finally opened the box and was filled with joy to see it was a bottle of rum. "Thanks mate! Really gonna enjoy this!" He cheered as he threw out his eggnog and was ready to drink his bottle of rum.

"He's going to be really drunk after this..." Ichabod stated. "Hey Mr. Crane, this one is for you from Barnabas!" Gilbert handed Ichabod his present.

"Oh, thank you" said Ichabod as he opened his present to find a book about herbs and supposed witch craft. "I remember you discussing about witch craft and herbs with that lady of yours, I must say I was also obsessed with black magic in my living years" Barnabas replied.

"Interesting.." was all Ichabod said.

More presents were given to the others, Hatter got a new hat, Willy got some Hershey bars which he wasn't too pleased by but was polite to accept them, Glen got a new pair of headphones that were sound proof, and Tonto got a taxidermy crow which confused him at first until Ichabod pointed out the crow on his head.

Edward was puzzled when he carefully pulled out ten leather sheathes. "Those are sheathes, y'know to cover those big knives of yours" Mort stated, being the person that gifted him the sheathes.

"T-thank you" Edward muttered as he smiled at his gift.

More gifts were passed around whether anyone liked them or were confused but awkwardly accepted them. It seemed to be a good Christmas with everyone having a great time, especially Jack becoming really drunk from the eggnog and rum to where he stood on the table and started doing a weird dance and grabbing food on the table and just being the weird drunk pirate he was.

Later they started watching cringey Hallmark Christmas movies and the only people that liked them were Edward, Hatter and a very drunk Captain Jack Sparrow while Sam was reenacting some of the scenes.

They even listened to Christmas music, but only the weird and inappropriate ones like Grandma Got Ran Over by a Reindeer and the dirty Jingle Bell Rock song. Overall everyone was having a great time and it seemed to be the best year anyone has ever had. Even Sweeney Todd smiled for once, (yes, an actual smile) and Willy seemed to actually enjoy himself and not being an antisocial weirdo, and Jack was just being his drunken self.

It was indeed a great Christmas and a day no one will forget.
