Christmas

"We may not be able to have a perfect Christmas, but we can have a white one."

Christmas is a holiday celebrated on a few Earths in the multiverse. It celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ and is a holy one for Christian churches, such the Catholic Church and the First Assembly of God. Santa Claus is a legendary character originating in Western Christian culture who, on Christmas Eve, is said to bring children gifts, such as toys and candy, or coal or nothing, depending on whether they are "naughty or nice".

In aberration timelines where Beebo and later Odin, who was impersonated by Damien Darhk, were worshiped, the holiday became known as Beebo Day and Odin Day, respectively.

History[]

Original multiverse[]

Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, but is considered an important holiday even by non-religious people. Christmas is thought to be linked to Christ's divine power in that people expect "Christmas miracles" to happen on the holiday, giving them joy.^[1]

New multiverse[]

One Christmas, Joker had Kiki Roulette place grenades inside a number "talking teddy" bears which went off when the cord attached to the pin was pulled. Two adults and three children were killed, and 12 more suffered permanent damage.^[2]

Trivia[]

In an aberration timeline where Vikings begin worshipping a Beebo toy they mistook for a god, they manage to colonize and conquer North America. As a result, Christmas was replaced with Beebo day. The Legends managed to prevent this timeline from solidifying and replacing the original one.^[3]
Sara Lance was born on Christmas in 1987.^[4]
