Feat: Lucy Amstern (AlwaysSnapesGirl)
Cyril knew his son thought he was imposing on him with his request for Lucy’s first Christmas. But truthfully? The man was delighted with the role he'd been asked to play. The holidays were fun again since the birth of his twin granddaughters, and even more so now that little Lu had joined the bunch. And they were more of to the ages were they could enjoy the season and truly get into the magic of the holiday.
Which truly manifested in the belief of one individual - Santa Claus.
Waiting outside in the cold on their stoop, he peered into the window as his son and daughter in law began to rally the troops to get them dressed, stories read, and a plate of cookies left out for hi- er, Santa. And only when the girls were finally ready to head to their rooms, little Lu in her father’s arms, did he notice the imperceptible now his direction.
With the jolliest sounding “HO HO HO” he could muster, Cyril burst through the door in his red suit and magically enhanced appearance, with a bag of toys over his shoulder. Delighted at the shouts of “SAAAAANTA" as he did so.
