To Thoma, Christmas is a way to feel connected to his hometown once a year. The traditions throughout Inazuma are certainly different and as such it is almost impossible to compare the celebrations to those back in Mondstadt. He remembers the times when he was still a small child, running through the cold at night with his friends â the first snowfall of the year, along with the first snowball fight and building the first snowman. Given that there is no snow in Inazuma, he cannot hold on to every single thing he did back in Mondstadt but at least he can keep up with the indoor traditions. Long baking sessions are a must do for Thoma, the biggest smile forming on his face when you agree to join him in the kitchen. While the cookies are in the oven, he will make sure to pull you close whenever he can, letting his arms rest loosely around your waist while pressing a kiss to your forehead â simply enjoying the time you spent alone together. Prepare yourself to eat tons of christmas cookies at night, lots of cuddles and some mullet wine/hot chocolate.
Thoma knows how much you love ugly christmas sweaters and since he calls himself a genius at knitting â he made you one. After spending nights on working on it, he was not sure anymore if you would really like it; after all it was meant to be a heartful joke. Yet, after seeing the bright smile on your face as you unpacked the present and the laughter you two shared, he knew it was totally worth it. He will also take you to the Asane Shrine to show you a small âsurpriseâ he had planned â your heart warming up at an incredible rate as you saw all the cats wearing small knitted santa costumes. If you ask him how many days it took for him to knit all those things and to prepare everything, he will wave it off with a small laugh telling you that it was not much of a big deal, even though he secretly spent most of his free time on it. The time does not matter to him though, if it made you happy or smile at least once, it was totally worth it in his eyes.
As mentioned before, Christmas is a time that makes Thoma think about his origins- You often catch him staring at the ocean while letting sand slide through his fingers, his eyes filled with greed and even a small pinch of loneliness. Thereâs not a lot you can do to make him miss his hometown less except being by his side and trying to hold up a few traditions you knew about. You can almost see him crying from laughter when you challenge him to a âbuild a snowmanâ competition and the way you wanted to use sand and water instead of snow. You two tried to build a sandcastle snowman but you failed miserably⊠It does not matter to Thoma though, itâs the thought that counts and he couldnât love you more for doing that for him.
Living with the Crux fleet usually led to attending all sorts of festivals and celebrations throughout Teyvat â many stories being told about the past years, some traditions being held up while others slowly vanished among the group. When it comes to Christmas though, they all seem to have one opinion; it must be celebrated. Kazuha loves to watch the people decorate the Alchor and listening to the hums of different christmas tunes â his heart filling with warmth whenever the group in front of him cheered and raised their glasses for a good time. Even though he spends a lot of time with the fleet, he will also make sure to be by your side as much as possible â going out for long walks in Liyue or Inazuma. He enjoys listening to your stories about how you spent your previous Christmas days, the gifts you used to receive and how much you love the cozy decorations everywhere â the sparkle in your eyes being something that he never wants to miss. When you approach the ship in the evening, you can already hear the loud singing voices of the fleet and smell the scent of warm mullet wine, a small laughter leaving Kazuhaâs lips before he tells you to wait for him on deck. He returns quickly with two cups of mullet wine and a small blanket â using the chance to cuddle up with you while watching the ocean, sipping on your hot beverage every now and then while he serenades about his love for you.
Beidou once told Kazuha about advent calendars, which made him think about preparing a special one just for you. He told you about it at the beginning of December, telling you that he planned a small surprise for you on every single day until Christmas. On some days he simply prepared a plate with your favorite food or sweets, on other days he led you to a high place to watch fireworks he and Yoimiya prepared specially for you and much more. He will do everything just to see your smile, always hoping that you see the love he feels for you within those small gestures. If you plan to pull a reverse card on him and to mirror his actions of preparing an advent calendar, he will be taken aback at first â stammering how you did not have to do all this for him while his cheeks flush in a crimson red. He appreciates everything you do for him and every tiny gift you prepare â his heart always skipping a beat as he sees the next surprise you made for him.
Even though Kazuha loves being around a lot of people, he also cherishes the rare times where he gets to be completely alone with you. On Christmas Eve he already has the whole house set up with different decorations, the smell of cinnamon and chocolate filling the air as he cooks your favorite dish for you. As a present he got you a charm which is said to protect its wearer from dangerous spirits, pointing out that you should always carry it with you at all times â especially when heâs not by your side or when heâs not able to take care of you. He laughs when you hug him all of sudden, mumbling that he is delighted that you like his present while his arms loosely wrap around you. You can feel him swaying gentle from side to side while humming a christmas song â slow, careful movements turning into a soft dance to the tune of his voice.
Itto is all about the traditional aspects of Christmas, whether it is jamming to Christmas songs while getting drunk on wine or whining around to join you on a late night baking session so he can test out your âcookie making skillsâ. Sometimes you find yourself decorating the house, an uncomfortable silence spreading through the rooms â a silence which was normally impossible to take place when Itto was around â just to get startled by him as he appears behind you all of sudden, pretending to help you to put up the decorations before he starts singing christmas songs as loud and out of tune as he can. He will often do that to simply annoy you, loving the way your nose scrunches up whenever you try to ignore him before you hit his chest lightly and tell him to stop.
Itto often whines about how he is not allowed to play pranks on kids anymore to win their sweets in a dumb challenge since he got into a relationship with you and how you donât make sure to feed him right during festive days â all just to lure you into baking cookies for him. He can cook to survive but if he had to bake to make it through the day, he would miserably disappear from the worldâs surface within a few weeks. He will shower you in kisses when you agree to bake for him, making sure to sit on top of the counter the whole time while youâre preparing the dough â kinda cheering you on and praising you for being so good to him. He would help you but he knows that it would only turn out for the worse if he raised a hand in the kitchen, which is why he simply enjoys your company and stays beside you until youâre done. His favorite thing about christmas is the cozy evenings he gets to spend with you â your body closely snuggled against his tall form while munching on cookies and talking about the most random things.
Screaming at the sky as if the Shogun herself could possibly hear him is a way to go for Itto; yet watching him scream at the sky that thunderstorms are boring as hell and how a snowstorm would be a nice alternation made you laugh and cringe at the same time. He often brags about how good he would be if he had the chance to start a snowball fight for once, his eyes sparkling like those of a little kid whenever he thinks about how much he would love a few snowy days. He actually tried to persuade you to have a âsnowballâ fight with him â the only bad part about this being that he made his snowballs out of sand on the beach. The moment he raises his hand with the sand ball he can feel you glare at him and he will quickly drop the piece of stone and dirt to the ground â nagging you that you and him have to travel soon to see some snow together and that thereâs not going to be any excuse for you to miss out on a snowball fight with him.
