Thanksgiving came and went uneventfully for the group, but thankfully, Christmas was quickly approaching, which was the perfect time for crimes. However, first, they had to deal with the Christmas party…

"It's supposed to be fun, Pengy!" Riddler said to his husband.

"Ed, we've been together for a very long time." Penguin said. "You should know that I don't celebrate Christmas or any holiday for that matter."

Nearby, Ivy was summoning mistletoe and hanging it over Two Face's head.

"Look up, Harvey…" she said, waving it over him.

"For the last time, I'M. NOT. INTERESTED!" he said.

Joker laughed at the scene and said, "Looks like someone's being a Grinch…"

"Don't you just love this time of year, puddin'?" Harley asked.

"I can't believe this is the last time of the year to actually eat pumpkin pie." Scarecrow said, staring at the slice of pie on his plate.

"Cheer up, professor! There's always next year!" Mad Hatter said as he drank his tea.

"Oh, the weather outside is frightful!" Music Meister, Creeper, Baby Doll, Hush, and Catwoman said while singing.

Ra's al Ghul gripped on his champagne glass and said, "I swear, if I hear ONE more of those dreaded carols…"

"Let them have their fun, father. At least the drinks aren't too bad." Talia said.

Killer Croc was busy stuffing his face at the buffet as Matt watched him.

"Hungry?" the crocodile asked.

"Nah, I'm good." Matt said, shaking his head.

"GET THIS HAT OFF ME, DUMMY!" Scarface said while gesturing to the Santa hat on his head.

"R-right away, Mr. Scarface…" Ventriloquist said as he took the hat off.

"How long is this party going to take?" Kirk asked Victor and Roxy.

"Good question…" Victor said with a groan.

"Come on, guys! It's supposed to be fun!" Roxy said, wrapping her arms around them. "But have you two seen Freeze during the party?"

The two shrugged in response.


Hours later, after everyone has gone to sleep…

Mr. Freeze took a deep breath as he stopped his research and placed a small box on the table beside the container with his wife inside.

"Merry Christmas, Nora. I hope you're enjoying our anniversary week…I know I am." he said while touching the glass.

He made it a priority to be with his wife for every anniversary and Valentine's Day by locking himself in his lab and working on a cure while the rest of his allies go out and have fun without him.

Almost immediately, he went back to work, unaware that it was already midnight and that everyone else had woken up to the sounds of hooves scraping on the roof and sleigh bells ringing.

The next thing he knew was that there was frantic knocking at his door. Mr. Freeze jumped at the sound and opened it, seeing everyone standing there, now in their normal clothes and not their pajamas.

"What is it? I was busy." he asked.

"Frosty, there's someone on the roof! I think we're being robbed!" Harley said in a panic.

On the roof? Mr. Freeze thought as he followed everyone up to the roof.

Gotham City was chilly that night with snow covering the ground. He could see his allies shivering slightly even though they had bundled up slightly with scarves and gloves.

On the roof was a large red, green, and gold sleigh with nine reindeer harnessed to it with sleigh bells on the side. Much to their surprise, the lead reindeer had an unusually red nose compared to the others. A large red velvet sack sat in the back of the sleigh, completely filled.

"Oh my god, he DOES exist!" Baby Doll said, looking at the sleigh.

Mr. Freeze raised an eyebrow at it as he examined it and went up to Rudolph to get a closer look at his nose.

And then, Joker got an idea, an awful idea. He had a wonderfully awful plan in mind…

"I don't see the big red man here. He travels the world in one night to go to every house in the world…" Joker said. "I suggest that we steal it and rob everyone!"

"Best. Plan. EVER!" Harley said with a grin.

Everyone else looked at the sleigh and stared at each other with grins, except for Mr. Freeze, who was annoyed.
