During the festive season, it is always guaranteed that you will run into old and new friends and family; many wonderful, many annoying. This has inspired me to create the scenario of "A FIBLAR Christmas" where you can learn a bit more about the members, how they deal with festive #ladbanter and all the associated weirdness of the festive season. Let the party begin...
It's Christmas day at the FIBLAR HQ flat and the team were tucked up in their beds after a late night of writing their upcoming posts, their laptops still whirring quietly beside them. A loud smashing sound came out of no where and woke everyone up - the team soon realised Paige had moved her arm and her half full bottle of gin had fallen off her bedside table and smashed on the wooden floor.
"You daft slag!" Came a shout from underneath the covers. Laura had woke up with a start from the commotion and knew the culprit would most likely be Paige. The next person to wake up was Molly, who instantly jumped out of bed and went towards the tree, sorting out all the badly wrapped presents beneath it ready for when everyone woke up.
The team rose out of their bunk beds and walked towards the neatly sorted presents in a zombie-like manor, all still half asleep and hungover from the party the night before.
"Can we open them right now?" Avalon asked excitedly.
"Of course." Georgie smiled, kneeling down to open her present.
"I'm gonna go make us all some coffee or something." Charlie smiled, drifting out the room to the kitchen.
"It's just as well! We all need it and you can't open your gift 'til we've all opened ours!" Connor shouted at him.
Laura, walking into the room in a festive outfit of dressing gown and elf socks, squealed as her present from Calum turned out to be a Telgram t shirt that she had been after all year. "OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH" she said, hugging him tightly.
"Haha no problem Laur," Calum replied before he went to pick up his own pile of presents.
In confusion, all but Paige were unsure of the wrapped human like figure standing next to the Christmas tree that was waiting for Amy to unwrap. "Well this is terrifying..." She laughed, as she began to take off the paper. To her utter delight, Paige had in fact bought her a cardboard cut-out of Harrison Koisser to admire and perhaps stroke...
"Oh my god Paige! Thank you!" Amy squealed, running over and hugging Paige.
"Your drinks are ready guys! They're on the table." Charlie said as he walked back in and sat down in front of his present. "Who's opening theirs next?"
"I am!" Calum shouted, quickly unwrapping his present - Specially made Diiv PJs. "Thank you Laura!" He shouted in glee, getting up and hugging her tightly.
"Paige, you're next." Connor smiled, handing her a flat, square present. She gently peeled away the tape and opened it to find an MGMT record - Congratulations to be exact.
"Oh my god Connor! Thank you SO SO much!" Paige jumped over the paper to hug him.
"I know how much you love The Horrors Georgie." Jacob said as Georgie opened her present with a squeal of delight - it was a signed poster.
"Thank you so so much Jacob!" She hugged him. "Open yours!"
Jacob sat down on the floor and unwrapped his gift, a smile spread across his face as he opened a signed Morrissey autobiography.
"Thank you wow, thank you so much Georgie." He smiled, hugging her once again.
"Here, since Charlie didn't bring the drinks through and they got cold I've brought us a festive plate and jug of mulled wine." Paige smiled, putting it on the floor. Laura and James looked at each other and raced for the rum truffles and of course James snatched them out of Laura's hand before she could even take one.
Amelia was handed a rather wonderful Spector poster from Lydia to a lot of thanks and general madness who in return got some signed Drenge vinyl. "OH MY THANK YOU!" Laughed Lydia, as she and Amelia hugged each other.
Everyone was sitting round in their festive pyjamas (no inappropriate 'santa' lingerie here) as Molly and Avalon opened their presents from each other. Avalon received a pair of homemade Peace-themed socks while Molly got a Biffy Clyro mug, because everyone should drink their favourite beverage with a band label slapped across it.
"Okay, here's your present James." Charlie smiled, handing him an envelope. James opened the envelope to reveal a £50 HMV giftcard. "I didn't know what to get you." Charlie smiled.
Charl opened her present, a hamper filled with records and old band shirts. "Who's it from?" She smiled.
"All of us!" Nina called out.
"Thank you all so much!" Charl replied, inspecting one of the records.
"Wow thanks man." James replied, fist bumping Charlie.
"Okay Charlie, open your box!" Avalon shouted.
Charlie shifted across the floor and knelt up in front of the box. "Guys, I swear it just moved." He said, looking around at the group.
"I don't think it did, I think you're still drunk mate." Connor laughed.
Charlie lifted the lid off the bus and out popped Superfood.
"Merry Christmas Charlie!" The quartet shouted, engulfing him in an awkward group hug. The band climbed out and played a few songs...
***
The day went on, the group got drunk and ate loads of food and soon found themselves slumped around the living room on their laptops, Superfood watching a Christmas movie and the neighbours banging on the walls because of the ruckus everyone had caused.
"I think we should head to bed." Charlie yawned.
"No, let's stay up and party!" Charl shouted.
"I don't know, I'm really enjoying this movie." Carl said, the rest of the band nodding their heads in agreement.
"Well, I think I'll head to bed." Charlie sighed, getting up and walking out of the room.
"Yeah me too." Amelia smiled, shutting down her laptop.
A few more members of the group went off upstairs to bed.
"It's been a very eventful Christmas." Avalon concluded.
"Better than I first anticipated." Charlotte replied.
"Its been brilliant." Paige sighed, not even bothering to look up from her laptop screen.
"This year has been brilliant, with the blog and all." Nina smiled.
"Yeah." Laura agreed. "I'm so thankful for our readers."
"Me too." Paige sighed happily.
"Well, shall we go to bed?" Connor asked.
"We may as well." Cal said, standing up and stretching.
"We're going to bed now guys so the blankets and airbeds are in the kitchen for yous to bring through, enjoy your movie, night!" Avalon said to Superfood.
"Thanks for having us guys, goodnight!" Dom said as the group wandered out.
"Night!" Emily and Ryan shouted in unison.
And so the FIBLAR crew went to bed, Superfood stayed up and watched a Christmas movie and everyone had a great time.
Thank you everyone for your support over these last two months, it means the world to us! We'll keep the mosts coming, we wouldn't be able to run this without you all! Merry Christmas, have a great holiday!
Love from FIBLAR!
