Oh man, could i please get some headcanons for Bubba and Jason celebrating Christmas with their s/o? (I KNOW ITS BARELY DECEMBER BUT I JUST LOVE CHRISTMAS) Thank you in advance!
You’re welcome! Also, I completely understand, Halloween starts in September and Christmas starts the very moment the clock strikes midnight on December 1st!
Christmas is observed in the Sawyer household, though it may be nontraditional. Considering the location, the isolation, and the family themselves… gifts get weird.
Nubbins gives dead animal pieces he’s made “pretty”, Bubba tends to make “clothes”, and if you’re lucky Drayton might give you something that is traditionally considered normal. Like a key chain he stole off some poor girls body.
Bubba is a huge fan of most holidays and that becomes very apparent to you as soon as the first one crops up. He always makes gifts, he always decorates the house (best he can), and he always hopes it will snow because that’s what all the cards and Christmas ads have in them.
Unfortunately, Texas doesn’t get white Christmas’s, but there’s no need to dash his hopes like Drayton always tries to.
When the day finally comes Bubba is the first one up, I mean, he still believes in Santa after all so he might not even have slept. You get to be second, because he makes sure you are too, he’s just so excited.
Presents are opened, thanks are… exchanged as well as the Sawyer family does, and you end up wrapped up in Bubba’s arms most of the day because… well it’s kind of cold for a Texan but also, you’re still his favorite thing.
It’s cold this time of year in New Jersey, freezing in fact, so it’s good one of the cabins is air-tight enough to keep put the worst of the chill. Jason keeps a constant supply of firewood on hand, braving the elements whenever he thought you’d be needing more soon, certainly overdoing it but better safe then sorry!
No one came to the camp this time of year, so it gave him the perfect excuse to be around you 24/7 instead of patrolling- not that he really needed one, but even the undead giant could get shy.
To be honest, he doesn’t know what day it is at any given moment, and certainly didn’t celebrate much of anything (besides his mothers birthday, which he always remembered) before you came around.
If you surprise him with a gift he’s impossibly grateful, first of all. It could be a really interesting stone you found on the lake shore or something from town, it doesn’t matter, you got it for him. He loves it.
Immediately followed by the panic of having not gotten you anything. He scrambles around the room, then through all the others, and eventually comes back with a… something. It looks like a piece of wood tied in string with a jagged smiley face drawn on it. It’s the best he could do, with or without time, so you’d better like it!
