#bakt thoughts: Tsukishima and bokuto always take November first off. Not because they spend Halloween partying, they just pass out candy and cuddle on the couch, but because November first starts Christmas season for them. They spend the entire day de-halloweening the house, and

Plastering it in festive lights and trees. Kuroo, who’s favorite holiday is Halloween, wants to pout when he comes home and hears Mariah Carey, but it’s so hard to be sad when he sees Kei giggling as Bokuto once again fails to put the tree together right the first time.

Akaashi sighs when Kei insists they watch home alone for their after dinner show, but feeling bokuto’s laughter shake where akaashi’s head is resting on his chest and Kei’s feet curled up in his lap while he mirrors him to lay on kuroo, makes him feel like he would watch a silly

Christmas movie with them every night. Kuroo and akaashi’s families were never big on Christmas, but the tsukishima’s and the bokuto’s make their families look like straight grinches. Bo’s family is big, lots of kids and cousins and aunts and uncles, and they embraced each

Tradition they hear of, leading to a slightly chaotic but festive holiday season. Kei’s family draws all their traditions from his mothers side, and all of his French cousins and his grandma come in to visit. Kuroo has been to plenty of Kei’s families Christmas celebrations

So he thought he knew what he was getting into when they finally acknowledged their relationship with bokuto and akaashi and all moved in together. Classy and subtle decorations, calm nights baking treats, etc. Neither of them expected Kei to feed in to Bo’s craziness. Each

Room is a mismatch of Kei’s classic French decorations and Bo’s amalgamation of every country known’s decorations. Even the bedroom isn’t spared, but akaashi does draw the line at lights only, and they drape colored lights along the walls of the rooms, over the bookcases.

Christmas shopping starts early too, Kei has an entire closet that he bans the other three from since he starts his shopping online early. The only festive activity kuroo is banned from is when they start wrapping their gifts. Kei has received too many poorly wrapped presents

From him to let him help. He whines on the couch as akaashi and Bo work together, akaashi wrapping and bo putting ribbons and bows, and Kei effortlessly wrapping his presents flawlessly. Kuroo can only help when the present is being put in a gift bag, and he takes his time

Choosing what tissue paper to use and filling out the tag, hoping Kei lets him join in on the actual wrapping. (He caves once, only to immediately regret it when kuroo uses half a roll of the expensive paper and still doesn’t get the entire box covered. It’s so bad it defies

Logic??)
