Serpent Christmas

Christmas. The most wonderful time of the year. Riverdale is coated by a few centimeters of snow, closing schools and forcing people to turn on their fireplaces. Good thing Thistle House has several of those.

As usual the Serpents were gathering their own stuff to put into christmas gifts for the families from the Southside who couldn't afford presents for their kids. Toni and Jughead walked around, helping Veronica and Betty decorate, while Sweet Pea, Cheryl, Fangs and the twins helped wrap presents, until the redheaded woman decided to do an announcement.

''Dear Serpent fellas, I invite all of you to celebrate this Christmas Eve and tomorrow, Christmas day, at Thistle House! I was thinking we could all have a big sleepover, since the Blossom-Topaz house is more than capable.'' Cheryl was smiling bright. Christmas had always been a special time for her, especially since she joined the Serpents and finally experienced this amazing holiday's real meaning: family, something she found and built.

Every Christmas was special. The family of four usually stayed at home and did a regular Christmas. This year, with the adoption of their third child on the way and the new addition to the Serpent family, V and Sweet's baby boy, Vincente, turning three years old, Cheryl wanted to do something different. Big yet cozy. Where the kids could run around in their pajamas screaming for Santa. Where the adults would dress like Santa and deliver the gifts at midnight.

''Wow Cheryl are you serious?'' Veronica asks, dropping the little lights she was hanging around the christmas tree. Everyone stopped doing their tasks to look surprised at the redhead.

''Of course! I want to spend this Christmas close to my only family. It would be an honour to celebrate such a special holiday with all of you. I won't take a no for an answer. The turkey is already stuffed, waiting for us!'' She claps, getting back to wrapping. Jughead laughs.

''Cheryl you don't eat meat.'' He points out.

''I have my own vegan christmas delicacies awaiting me. No need to worry so much Juggy.'' Cheryl teases.

''You know it is christmas when Cheryl Blossom-Topaz makes sarcastic comments without an insult at the end.'' Sweets laughs, earning a light punch on the shoulder.

This would be a good holiday.

It was around 8PM, the guests would arrive soon. Toni made it a challenge for everyone to put on their ugly christmas sweaters. Jason and Victoria go down the stairs, after a nice shower and changed into their outfits. Jason had his hair licked back, navy blue shorts with knee high socks matching; his sweater was navy blue and red, with a snowman on it, the carrot nose sticking out of his shirt. Victoria had her hair in a high ponytail, her curls beautifully flowing down her neck, a white bow on her head; her sweater was the same as her brother's, but hers was slightly hidden by her short overalls, navy blue knee high socks matching.

Cheryl comes down as well. Her red sweater read ''Ho Ho Homo'' in white lettering. It was tucked in her waist high black pants. Her lipstick red as ever.

''Oh my god you guys look so cute!'' Toni gasps, quickly snapping a picture with her polaroid camera. ''How come this is an ugly sweater theme yet you look amazing with your... Gay clothes?'' Toni laughs, holding her wife's hand, helping her on the last few steps.

''Betty, Veronica and I went for a theme! It's Ho, in case you didn't figure it out.'' Cheryl smiled, softly pecking the shorter girl's lips, trying to not get her fresh red lip colouring on her partner.

''And I am stuck with this goody-two-shoes outfit?'' Toni was wearing a white shirt under her diry white, red and navy blue reindeer classic sweater, with a matching plaid skirt Cheryl had picked out for her.
