Char, this is so brilliant!

OK, Gene wouldn't write FC a letter under any circumstances. But going with your back room suggestions that he could get something that he wanted as a child and never got - when he was four, there was a toyshop with this in the window and he wanted it like burning, but never got it. Could he have that?

[father_chris]

:D thanks!

Yes, that sounds well within the parameters.

On the nice list are definitely William, Sameth, Tumnus and Jane. I'm not sure if Jane will be around for the holidays but lovely paper for writing on would make her happy.

William-a stack of dime novels.
Sameth-a clockwork toy
Tumnus-a new teapot

I love this plot, its just so charming. Also the illustrations remind me of these books I had growing up about Father Christmas. They were from England and about him going on vacation and just cute.

[father_chris]

Thanks, and those are all fine :).

Dime novels are novels that cost a dime, presumably?

[ceitfianna]

Yes, they were very popular in the late 1800s and tended to be adventure stories. Here's the wiki entry.

I can't see Sariel writing to Father Christmas, but she's on the nice list. :)

She has a number of little models of aircraft and spacecraft from different eras, done in things like carved wood and spun glass, and I can see someone or other thinking it was appropriate that she get another. If not that, then possibly somebody got a bright idea to give her a seedling plant or two for the Milliways gardens. That might be fun, actually.

[father_chris]

First suggestion will be fine, can't do plants because FC's not delivering anything living. They don't do well on the sleigh up in the cold air, squashed by lots of other presents and travelling through space and time.

[chanter1944]

Oooops - good point. Sometimes I forget that not all vehicles for space and time travel come with insulation. XD

This is so awesome.

Dani and Rue would both be on the nice list, though Rue I can't see writing a letter to Father Christmas because it's probably likely that she's never heard of him.

For Dani, she likes comic books and she's also interested in space, so books on either or a combination of the two would work well for her. Rue likes music, but I was also thinking maybe a doll or a stuffed animal of some kind since she's never had one.

[father_chris]

Okay, I can work with that :)

[wanderlustlover]

This is so awesome. I think I'm going to sign a plethora of people up to this.

Peeta, who has no idea about Christmas what so ever, but is remarkably too good for his own good pretty much permanently, is just started learning to love art, should totally get a book on painting.



On the same line as Carlisle, I'm going to say that the Esme and Edward are going have miraculously sent letters from during their human life that father Christmas somehow came by this year in Milliways.

Can I get you those letters maybe tonight, once I've thought about what they'd ask for and why and written them up in oom's to link to you?

[father_chris]

Yep, that's all fine :). Actual letters are optional, but fun.

[realmrsreynolds]

I think I'm handling that via Sallie, if you have letters you want to send me. (crossreference http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/23770956.html?thread=1066527564#t1066527564)

What Ed wants for christmas he technically cannot get (Unless Father C knows how to cure vampirism?) so if he could possibly have the Chemistry Set he never got when Frankie was born that'd just be AWESOME.

[alotofgood]

Oops. I'd forgotten to add this here.

Right. So, on behalf of Lily Evans, James Potter is requesting a quill and bottle of ink.

[vance_prime]

Alyx has requested that Ellen Park (aaaaaaaagh_sky) receive one or more comic books. Possible titles include Grognak the Barbarian, The Adventures of Captain Cosmos, Drake Tungsten: Chrono-Cowboy, and ¡La Fantoma!.

Alyx didn't ask for anything for herself, but if Father Christmas wanted to get her, say, a robot toy of some description (even if it's just a non-functional replica of a NASA robot), she'd be thrilled.

[honourbyname]

Albus would really love to add more muggle classic lit to his currently nonexistent collection.

Maybe a couple of books by Dickens (Great Expectations and Oliver Twist, or David Copperfield) and Thackeray's Vanity Fair?

[shoeless-ed.livejournal.com]

Ed just baaaaaarely makes it on to the Nice list!

She's going to ask for a gift for Ein. She will be nonspecific but the mun would prefer a squeaky, brightly colored ball. :)

[requiem2adream.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, forgot about this!

Victoire wants crayons and a colouring book :)

[mmexlibris]

Char this is a fantastic idea.

Olga would never write to FC, but she needs new gloves.

She would also like to request that Doctor McCoy be given a fishing pole and creel.

Sherlock might be borderline, but I think much to his dismay, he'd end up on the Nice list. And he needs one of these.

Alex won't be back in bar by Christmas I don't think, but if you want to surprise her after the New Year, she wrote Father Christmas for a set of pink roller skates with matching laces.

[notabricklayer.livejournal.com]

This is, of course, adorably cute.

McCoy made it on the nice list this year despite his best efforts at antagonizing the First Officer. :D I'm good with the idea above - ever hear of a Georgia boy that wouldn't leap tall buildings (or at least a decent fence) for a good fishing pole?

Katya, I think, is also on the nice list. Soon after becoming Other (and turning seven) she saw one of these (http://s-ak.buzzfed.com/static/enhanced/terminal01/2010/7/19/15/enhanced-buzz-1763-1279568304-23.jpg), but never got one.

And McCoy thinks Olga should be given a box set of John Wayne films, if she's going to keep trying to ape a western drawl.

Kate Beckett is on the nice list. I think she could do with a kiss from Castle um, peace on Earth and goodwill to men? I mean, she is a cop. Okay, in all seriousness, she lost a lot of her personals in her apartment fire, so she'd even be happy with a photo album to store all her new memories in.

Chuck Charles is also on the nice list. I know she'd love a nice pair of leather gloves. Something to hold her boyfriend's hand in.

Annie Cartwright is also on the nice list, of course. I bet you'd get a smile from her with a pretty winter scarf.

[lt-blade.livejournal.com]

yay! I finally have something.

Anyway, Sonya's a little down for the count and still recovering, so she's not likely to really ask FC for anything.

However, (and I've spoken with his mun on this) Tumnus has spoken with Sonya on a number of times and would've writen a letter for her.

You know those little plastic green soldiers? When Sonya was seven years old, she asked for a set for christmas, but her parents told her she couldn't have them because 'they were for boys'. Her brother would let her play with his toys, but of course to a seven year old it's not the same.

so..it'd be nice if he could get her a set.
