Christmas Peter Griffin Novels & Stories

How could he switch from hostile to friendly in the blink of an eye? Peter waved a hand and said, “Don’t think too much about it. I’ve always wondered what kind of woman could make Chris, who has lived like a monk, fall in love. Seeing you now, I realize the rumor is true. Chris really dotes on you, and if I don’t apologize, he might actually carry out his threat.” Grinning at Chris, he asked, “Are you satisfied with my apology?” Chris’s face remained cold, his lips pressed into a tight line. His glare stayed fixed on Peter, and after a while, I realized he had no intention of answering.

Her eyes flashed with a grief I didn’t understand. “It’s time,” she said softly, “you learned the truth about our family… and about Him.” The voices outside grew louder. A chorus of whispers. Merry Christmas.Merry Christmas. Merry Christmaaaaas… My skin crawled. Ruby lifted the lantern. And the flames inside turned black.

"You're going to tell him exactly what you told me. You're going to let him decide if he wants this gift for his daughter. And, Peter, next time you want to do something kind, you ask directly. You don't follow people. Even with good intentions, that's threatening behavior." "I know. I know, and I'm sorry. I just don't know what normal looks like anymore." He looked so young, so lost. "Everything I learned growing up was wrong. I'm trying to figure out how regular people act, but I keep messing up." Marcus came in, having heard everything through the door. His face was hard, the protective father warring with the man who wanted to believe in redemption. Peter stood, holding the carved wolf l

Tristian laughed. "Haven doesn't think so, right?" "Doesn't matter what I think. I have bad taste." I giggled. "So true!" Aleecia laughed. "I mean Tristian is the worst." "Smartest thing to ever come out of her mouth." Grace muttered. "Gracie, please, let's have a good Christmas." Heath begged. "Don't be a grinch." "Why would you say that to me?" "I'm sorry, but it feels like you're trying to eat Christmas."

Now I was the one staring at him, waiting for him to react, but he smiled softly and got up. Then Raf asked the worker: “Could you please give me another packet?” She nodded and gave him it. Raf put every pepper in the packet and gave me it. “Take it!” he said. “Thanks, I guess,” I said. He laughed. “Kylie?! Merry Christmas!” Suddenly Grace approached us and greeted me. “Merry Christmas!” I exclaimed and we hugged. “How are you? Where are Linc and your dad?” she asked me, looking around. “I’m good! They are somewhere close!” I replied.

However, I must admit this one display caught my eye for a very different reason. I take in the white-lighted reindeer dangling from a lighted tree containing what is left of Santa’s sleigh. A trail of red lights falls from the reindeer’s head and pools in freshly fallen snow. I have never seen a Christmas massacre and I doubt I ever will again. It is marvelous. I laugh because I honestly can't help myself. For once, humanity surprised me. I say out loud, “God, I'd love to meet the person behind this.” A lady wearing a dark woolen cloak with flaming red hair asked, “What would you say to the creator?”

MAXINE “Tell us what?” Mr. Grayson asked, looking between Zel and Peter. "What are you hiding from us?" "It's nothing," Peter insisted. He moved to leave the room but Mr. Grayson blocked his path. "Dad, get out of my way." "Talk to me, Peter. I'm your father." Mr. Grayson tried to convince him. "I said it's nothing!" Peter yelled, swinging his arm across. Purple energy exploded from his fingers and hit the lamp on the table.

I learned to be thankful and quiet. That acceptance made me hate Christmas. Love songs made my skin crawl. The lights under our tree looked like glass eyes. The ribbons on the presents were traps. Every year, the house tuned itself to cheer and I pretended to enjoy it. The twenty-fifth became the night when a new kind of cold touched my bones. It was the day the truth had crawled out at me like an animal. It was the day I had learned how much of my life had been decided by other hands.

Jacob snapped at my best friend who, like me, was gawking at his butt. “It's Saturday, Coleman.” Peter sipped from his glass before continuing. “And we're celebrating Christmas and all that shit… That light looks a little crooked. Vivi? Doesn't that specific light seem a bit crooked to you?” “Hmm, it definitely is. Baby, bend over a little more… Perfect!” “I can't believe it,” He muttered resignedly. And both Peter and I sighed when once again, Jacob did as he was asked. “I don't think you could have found a better man for yourself, Vivienne.”

She made her way to Mama Gracine’s orphanage and set herself down in her usual place to start selling the few fruits she had. The morning of the second day quickly warmed up and the streets filled with vendors and merchants going about their business. Alexa watched from under her hat as people passed by. And then there he was. Peter. He came from the direction she had last seen him go in and he walked with a man who was clearly very wealthy. Peter’s clothes had changed too. Alexa did not doubt that Peter had not been able to afford the clothes he wore. He had evidently been sponsored by the man who walked with him. Her blood ran cold as she realized who he was with. Breeger.
