Kyder for the Christmas ship meme!
Who starts putting up decorations in October?
Neither of them! I mean Ryder might try, but he’s really clumsy and I feel like it would end terribly for him where he’d knock over a Christmas tree or Chance would light said tree on fire. And Kitty thinks no-one should ever put up Christmas ornaments until the day after Thanksgiving.
Who buys the advent calendars?
RYDER! You just know he loves those chocolate ones like a little kid would and looks forward to opening them everyday whereas Kitty thinks shes ~better than that. Or too mature, but she doesn’t take much convincing when Ryder buys her one.
Who places mistletoe all around the house?
Ryder puts it up all over the place in an attempt to end up under it with Marley. Kitty complains about what a chauvinistic thing it is to do but really she’s just upset that he wants to kiss Marley under it and not her. So she engineers a way for Jake and Marley to end up under it at the same time in an attempt to give Ryder a much needed wake-up call.
Who wraps the presents for other people?
Kitty! Ryder isn’t the type for things that require that much long term patience and sitting still. He probably just wraps things in newspaper or throws them into a gift bag. Kitty prefolds her wrapping paper around the presents and cuts out pieces just to make sure they fit properly.
Who puts the final star/angel on the top of the Christmas tree?
Ryder holds Kitty up to do it because she’s short. But he knows how much the angel on top of the tree means to her.
Who’s the one that hates eggnog?
Kitty. She thinks it’s disgusting and she’d rather just have mulled wine or anything really. Ryder thinks it’s part of the holiday spirit though and he keeps trying to convince Kitty to try it again. It probably ends with him getting a glass of eggnog thrown in his face.
Who’s the one that bakes Christmas cookies for guests?
Ryder attempts to. Kitty doesn’t cook in protest of the fact that women are expected to do kitchen type things, but once Ryder almost burns down her parents’ kitchen in Snowbelle, she relents and just lets Ryder mix the batter and decorate them.
Who sends out the Christmas cards?
NEITHER. They’re too mobile for it. They might send airmail to people they really like but won’t see with presents, but I can’t really see either of them being that interested in Christmas cards. Although Ryder probably likes getting them from other people because he’s just really excited to get mail.
Who knows all the words to twelve days of Christmas?
Both of them. Ryder is the one that plays it six thousand times a day in order to get into the Christmas spirit though and Kitty threatens him if he doesn’t stop on like day two.
Who’s the better snowman builder?
Ryder. I imagine with Melanie around, Ryder’s gotten a lot more experience over the years whereas Kitty was kind of socially isolated except for Ernest in Snowbelle. So when Ryder teachers her, she’s really secretly excited even if she complains about it the whole time.
Who starts snowball fights?
BOTH OF THEM. They’re so stupidly competitive and you know they’re just dying to do this all year round. Kitty’s probably had more practice because she lives in winter land but Ryder’s got more upper body strength so it makes things interesting because neither of them want to admit defeat ever.
Who’s the one that wakes the other on Christmas morning by playing Christmas songs really loudly?
RYDER. Is there even any question? He’s do this and then Kitty would beat him savagely with her pillow before demanding her present.
Who has the ugliest Christmas sweater?
Ryder. Kitty wouldn’t want a sweater that was truly ugly, she’d want to look better than everyone in the room so she could make fun of whatever Marley was wearing.
Who still writes from Santa on the gifts?
Lmao, Ryder. Ryder probably was one of those kids that didn’t even want to believe that Santa didn’t exist when it was right in his face. So other kids had to tiptoe around him long after they knew the truth. And even though Ryder knows now, he still likes pretending.
