Wanda and Pietro first Xmas with the avengers. Coz Pietro is alive and Clint saved him damn it.
I understand your POV, because denial is the best way to go when it comes to PIetro.
Laura and Clint do their best to make room for Hanukkah in their home by finding a Menorah, and Laura does her best to find recipes she can make for the two twins. Pietro helps her when she’s unsure what foods they are allowed to eat and not.
Wanda and Laura go Christmas shopping together, and end up filling the cart at the supermarket with things for the home. Laura wants to help Wanda and Pietro decorate their quarters in the Avengers compound. She even buys some nice yarn to knit Hanukkah themed sweaters for the twins, to match hers, Clint’s and the kids’ Christmas sweaters.
When the electricity goes because of heavy snowfall and the generator can’t keep up, they all cuddle up with candles and cocoa made in a copper pot over the fireplace. Clint shares stories of Christmas with his parents, Laura shares stories with her sister, and the twins don’t share much. They don’t have that many good memories of the end of December, but they’re willing to make new ones with the Bartons.
Steve and Bucky show up on December 23rd, some presents in tow, and Laura has sweaters ready for them. She lined the sleeve on Bucky’s metal arm, to make sure the yarn doesn’t get caught in the mechanisms. (He doesn’t say how grateful he is that she did, but he does appreciate it. It makes him feel a bit more normal).
There are no loud banging crackers at dinner. Mostly because there are two super-soldiers, one regular soldier, and two war orphans around the table. Instead, they sit and braid Christmas stars in paper, and exchange their marvels when they’re done.
NB: I am not familiar with Jewish traditions at all, so if I got anything wrong, please, please let me know so I can make it right <3
