     As Earl of Trancy, Alois has an obligation to keep up with one of England's ever growing popular holidays; but that doesn't mean he's in the mood for celebrating it. A traumatizing past, combined with the responsibility of a new status makes Christmastime quite difficult for the Earl. Though he may just find happiness from a very unlikely source...

This is my entry for the Silver Week contest in the Black Butler Lovers group.

I think many of us are familiar with the Christian/Catholic Christmas traditions. In Victorian Times, Christmas wasn't as commerical, or as widley celebrated as it is today. However, the Victorian Era is where it started to gain popularity in England, and many of the traditions we associate with Christmas today (giving gifts, exchanging cards, etc.) were born during this time period.

Having Alois celebrate Christmas made for an interesting little story in my mind. Of course, I don't really see Alois as the celebratory type, per se, but since he is a noble, I thought it would be appropriate for him to take part in it. (As Claude remarks, reputation is very important.) I fumbled around a lot with different ideas, but after finding a mark to hit, it all started to flow.

This is my take on what might happen when the Alois Trancy celebrates Christmas. I hope you enjoy. And feel free to leave feedback! I LOVE reading your comments!!! <3
