✈ fifth snowy flight ❄ — video (both courts)

[The locket seems to be set up on a counter in a bedroom in the Station. To the side of the screen, there appears to be a small miniature ice sculpture of a pine tree, sparkling from the glow of the fireplace in the far background. Jack makes final adjustments in angling the locket just right to show off his crystal art project as well as his own smirking face.]

Alright, there's a whole ton of you out there that are either old and ancient or from some weird world that never got to know the cool Earth holidays, so lucky you — I'm here to provide you with a little Q&A on what Christmas is.

It doesn’t make any sense. It’s Father Christmas’s birthday but … not his birthday, too? Why is he giving out gifts for some other guy? [ OH, LOOK, one confused Viking is sitting on the bed. Hiccup gestures animatedly. ] Jack, your gods aren’t making any sense, even Loki’s more organised than this.

[The winter spirit rolls his eyes, waving a hand to hush the man behind him, keeping his attention on the locket instead of addressing him.]

The point is: you set up a ton of colorful lights around, you toss up a big tree to get sap all over your fingers, and then you find presents underneath it on the morning of the 25th. [That’s about the gist of it, right?] Look, I’m not big on bribing kids with gifts, but it does get people slacking off from all that serious crap so they can run outside and make a snowman or something. Gotta give it props for that.

So, basically, it’s Snoggletog without Thor. [ Flatly voiced from the peanut gallery. ] Boy, does that sound like a hoot.

No, no. [He finally turns his back to face Hiccup, shaking a pointed finger at him.] Don’t compare it to your aggressive “missing toes” Viking catastrophe of a holiday. [Turning back to the locket:] Just to be clear — mistletoe, that little plant that’s hung up everywhere on ceilings during the month, means you kiss the person you’re caught under it with — it’s not for punching them, as some people believe.

[ Wow, Hiccup’s just going to fold his arms right now. So rude. ]

I could always dredge up the will to punch you, if you’re getting tired of hanging out under mistletoe and suffering the other option.

[ No, he couldn’t. But he can say he might!! ]

Uh huh, sure. [With a momentary deadpan expression, Jack finally just shrugs with a sigh.] Anyway, I know the guy who hands out the presents, been in his secret lair in the North Pole and everything, so if you want to know more about elves — the small critter-like ones who don’t actually wrap the presents — or yetis, caroling and eggnog, whatever, I can fill in all the blanks for you.

[A pause before he adds:] Just do me a favor, be a pal, and run out to play in the snow for a bit, got it?

Excuse you, I am known for my incredibly artistic Snow Furies, Jack. Just because I don’t go prancing around yelling about how great winter is doesn’t mean I don’t know how to have fun.

First of all, I was talking to them, not you. Second, winter is great and I don’t think you understand how—

I’m Jack Frost, I can’t help kissing aaaall the snowflakes because I’m in love with them—

[The bickering continues for however long. Interruptions for questions would be more than welcome at this point.]

Mr Frost, I'm afraid you glossed over a few other traditions, such as puddings that are set on fire when brought to the table.

I'm fine! Really, I am. That's just a very nice way to introduce people to Christmas.

He was trying to help! I think. [ eheh. ] This is making me nostalgic, though.

It was a big celebration for us, most of the time. If we didn't stay at school and enjoy the Christmas feast we'd go back to one of our friend's house and spend it with their family. It was always really... Homey.

The presents were lovely, of course, but being with my friends... That was the best part. The best presents were always the handmade jumpers, though!

[Excuse Dave while he stares for a bit. So Santa and Jack Frost are real, should he really be surprised after everything he's been through? Well, he is at first, and also a little worried because shit. He stopped leaving cookies for Santa a long time ago.]

Jack Frost. Aaaalright, you're definitively an improvement over the snowman. [He would've expected a long beard though.] Should you really go through the, ah, religious side of Christmas? I don't think even Earth people remember that.

I feel country-bound to counter that no, that's France thank you.

But the pudding on fire thing has been a centuries old tradition. 500 years at least, I think?

Oh, so he took a hands on approach to learning. Very kind of you to indulge him.

[he was once blind but now he sees]

Uh... huh.

Well, you know, I'm still pretty much confused about. Everything that's going on in here right now. I think. But great effort! [ It is 100% possible for someone to say that in a non-insulting, sarcasm-free capacity. Bolin just proved it. ] I like the whole... secretly living in the North Pole thing. It's a pretty good place to keep a secret lair. I mean, I think maybe someone having a lair at all sounds kinda creepy, but it's cool.

[ His ex-girlfriend lives in the North Pole. Big ice palace deal.

She's terrifying and would definitely probably call it a lair. ]

[ you're so cute -- ]

Nope! They were all handmade by my best friend's mother. They had our initial on them.
