Disclaimer: These characters belong to Joss,the WB,Mutant Enemy,etc. I claim all rights to other people such as Ali,Theresa,the past and future characters(I.E. Angel from the past,Future Buffy,etc.),and a lot of others."A Christmas Carol" belongs to Charles Dickens.The book helped me get to sleep the night of our big test last week,so watch "The Muppet Christmas Carol".Same thing,only less boring and it has the Muppets in it! "TMCC" belongs to Jim Henson Productions. *N SYNC belongs to their gorgeous selves and RCA.I'm only borrowing them and a few songs,I promise to not hurt them.Plus,in the first part,there's reference to "Armageddon".I don't own that,nor the lyrics to "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing".Touchstone Pictures and Aerosmith own those.Pity,though...
Notes: This is my rendition of "Amends". Ms.Calendar's not evil and those Priest guys don't exist. Actually,they do,but not in the story. You get the idea. Oh yeah...say the last 10-15 minutes of "Lover's Walk" with Cordy,Oz,Xander and Willow never happened. Oz and Will are still together,as are Cordy and Xander. And Buffy and Angel are an item,too. Buffy never said she never wanted to see him again. (But that was kind of blown over,huh?)
Prologue
"I just love Christmas! The presents...the food...the presents...the decorations...hey,did I mention the presents?" Xander Harris joyfully quipped as he and his friends trudged through Sunnydale after the bell had released them for two weeks for Christmas.
"Xander! Christmas isn't just about presents! It's about love...and giving...and being able to see your family!"
"How would you know,Willow? Your Jewish!" Cordelia Chase, Xander's girlfriend, snapped at the red-head harshly.
"Well...That doesn't necessarily mean I can't and don't celebrate Christmas and Hanukkah. My mom's Catholic!" Willow shot back.
"You know what I love about Christmas? No school, no dusty library, and no vampires or demons! Which equals no messed up out-fits and no broken nails!" Cordelia chirped happily.
"Yeah,but they usually show up around New Year's in time for the new year and a few drunken partiers..." Buffy Summers mumbled,stuffing her hands into her pockets and looking at the puddles the night before's rain had created.
"I take it around Christmas you're the Scrooge of Slayers, huh?" Oz, Willow's boyfriend, asked of the blonde.
"Ha-ha."
"Hey, I wonder what vampires actually do for Christmas. What does Angel do?" Willow pondered, walking closer to Oz.
"I don't think vamps celebrate the Yule Season, even vamps with souls." Xander said, looking at the couple and wrapping his arm around Cordelia's shoulder.
"But wouldn't it be cool if Angel did? I mean,I can just picture him
baking cookies, and putting up ornaments..."
