Jingle Mingle...3!
Ah, yes. Third verse, same as the first! For some of you, the sudden onslaught of crystalized, chilly snowflakes may come as a surprise as you’re swept up in an icy sort of cyclone. Some of you may have already been bracing yourselves as the storm set upon you. But regardless of whatever group you’re in, you’ll soon find yourself being lifted off of your feet and tipping forward, free-falling through a whimsical, colorful interdimensional space. A door opens before you, and soon you tumble out of…a tree?
Yes. That’s right. You find yourself falling out of the trunk of a tree at the top of a snowy hill, looking down at a small village adorned with twinkling lights and the sound of music in the air. Too bad you can’t turn back now. The door has swung closed and all you are faced with is a painting of a Christmas tree.
Right then. Best to explore! There are plenty of places you can go and things to do while you’re here, but the proprietor of this village kindly asks that you do not resort to murder. For real. This is a place for winter fun and not bloodshed, and should anyone resort to violence they will find a large pile of snow falling straight on their head to cool off. There’s a little something for everyone, and all it takes is a little bit of adventure to find your holiday magic.
❄️Skiing, snowboarding, and toboggans, oh my
Even before you make your way down the hill and toward the village, you’ll find a building nestled among some trees holding all sorts of winter items including skis, snowboards, snow mobiles, toboggans, and sleds. The snow is fresh and the hills are alive with the sound of laughter. Challenge your friends to a race or two, or just take a test run down one of the many slopes scattered around.
❄️Sleigh Rides
For those of you who don’t want to walk down to the village, the sound of jingle bells will soon reach your ears as a horse-drawn carriage arrives. Climb aboard and settle in for a cozy ride over the river and through the woods. The horses are friendly, and while seating might be a little cramped it’s a good excuse to snuggle up to someone, don’t you think?
❄️ Christmas Market

Upon reaching the village, you’ll find that several of the buildings are lit up and decorated with holiday decor galore. There are kiosks serving all kinds of winter treats and drinks (both non-alcoholic and alcoholic in variety), and the best part is they’re free! The doors to the shops are open for all, inviting you in to browse the holiday wares available. You can find just about anything here for that perfect Christmas gift. There’s no limit to what magic can do, even for the casual window shopper. But if you can’t find exactly what you’re looking for…?
❄️ Santa’s Workshop
Ho ho ho? Oh ho! On the outskirts of the village sits a large, multistory building. Should you be brave enough to wander inside, you’ll find all sorts of rooms for arts and crafts to build your own gifts. There’s art studios, pottery wheels, power tools, fabrics, sewing machines, instruments and more. Scratch that creative itch and let your imagination run wild!
❄️ Ice skating
In the center of the village is a large ice rink with a beautifully decorated Christmas tree in the middle. Skates of all sizes are available for anyone to borrow and the ice is always clean and smooth no matter what time of day you come by. Show off some fancy footwork…or just laugh at the poor, unfortunate souls who can’t quite stand still.
❄️The Party
Or maybe you’re only interested in catching up with people you know? As is tradition, there’s always a party for the social type. Hosted at the largest house in the village, there are rooms with fireplaces, games, food and more. There’s an indoor pool in one room with a water slide for those of you feeling a little more daring, and in another room there’s a large projection screen playing countless holiday classics. The music is just as loud here, and just like last time should you require anything special the staff and their assistants will answer every beck and call. Icicles cling to the outside of the house in beautiful patterns, frost drawn across the windows spreading messages of holiday cheer and the occasional game of tic tac toe. The garden out back appears to be more of a Christmas tree farm, boxes of ornaments set in accessible locations for those who wish to do a little bit of decorating.
But it wouldn’t be a holiday party without the time-honored tradition of mistletoe, now would it? Despite having more space than ever, the longer you’re around the less likely you are to escape unscathed. The tricky little plant can appear at random in places you might not expect, and often times it will show up at inconvenient moments. That’s a little troublesome, but worry not! You’ll probably come up with some way to avoid it if you really want to, right?
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin. Embrace this moment and make some new memories.

[ Hi, here's Danny, wearing a fairly light jacket but otherwise dressed like it's any other time of year! He's out on the ice, the skates compensating ever so slightly for the SEVERAL INCHES I ACCIDENTALLY LOPPED OFF HIS HEIGHT, and he's doing great!
by which i mean he is desperately clinging to the sides trying to keep his balance. The second he lets go, he wobbles for a few minutes, trying to find his balance, before slipping so spectacularly he does a somersault in midair before crashing into the ice ass-up.
it's very dignified. ]
where's wdanny
[ ah, the joy of a fresh thick layer of snow! Like a perfectly smooth blanket--except, what's this? There's a little mound of snow that seems to be...twitching?
Upon closer inspection, it doesn't even really look like snow. It's more like a collection of threads...or hair? Why don't you try making a snowball out of it to find out.]
ice skating
Nice try! That kinda stuff looks so hard! Are you okay?
[He skates his way over and offers a hand to help Danny up.]
no subject
Other than my pride? Sure.
How are you so good at this?
no subject
I'm not trying to do any of the hard stuff. I'm just skating.
[Also he's a jock-chuuni combo. Has there ever been anything more embarrassing? Probably not.]
no subject
That is the hard stuff!
no subject
[He will hold onto Danny so neither of them fall back onto the ice.]
You can hold onto me if you wanna. Promise I won't fall on you.
no subject
Actually, I got a better idea.
[ hope you're ready for a blinding flash of light, because this is Danny transforming into a ghost right in his arms! Kumon will notice he no longer has to support Danny's weight...because he is now holding himself up with the power of ~flight~ ]
Ta-da! See? Who needs balance when you've got ghost powers?
no subject
There's a laugh, but he doesn't let go!]
Yeah, but I like holding you!
[That's part of the fun of skating, as far as Kumon is concerned.]
no subject
no subject
[Between the acting and the sports, he has strength and stamina!
He will cuddle.]
no subject
but then a mischievous look glints in his eye ]
Oh yeah? Let's see how good you are at it, then. On the ice and everything.
[ he phases out of Kumon's grip and repositions himself to be floating at the perfect height, in the pefect pose, to be carried bridal style in Kumon's arms. ]
no subject
Hehe, should I play the part of your prince?
no subject
Let's start with "guy who doesn't beef it" and work our way up from there.
no subject
[You unbalance Kumon? Jail for Danny. Jail for Danny for one thousand years- what actually happens his he stumbles under the sudden weight but manages to keep them both upright.
Barely. There would be some flailing if he had his hands free.]
no subject
anyway he's already done the whole jail for one thousand years, thanks, but color him impressed that Kumon maintains balance! ]
Not bad, not bad...
But that's just the start of it, you know.
