hey there sweetpea ! your secret santa here ! i see you're having some trouble and i hope you feel better. tell me brooke's favorite christmas memories & her favorite thing about christmas. what were her christmas' like when she was younger and how are they like now? *smooches ur nose and flies away*

hiya lovebug !! i’m so sorry that it took me so long to answer this, but i was feeling kinda down last night ( & this message cERTAINLY CHEERED ME UP ) – but i knew that this ask was probably gonna inspire some sorta mini meta, because i have a lot of feelings re: brooke & christmas. so oKAY HERE GOES NOTHING !!!!! 

brooke’s family has money. she’s not crazy rich or anything, but they’re more than comfortable & in a town like tree hill, they’re definitely at the top in the spectrum of financials. so around christmas time, & always really, there’s never a shortage of gifts. her parents are the type to buy her things, rather than give her affection – so i would say her holidays were actually pretty empty. she’d get whatever was on her list, but on christmas morning, it’s not like they’d sit & even watch her open them. her parents were pretty bad at keeping up the whole facade of santa too, frankly because they didn’t care much to. picture little brooke putting out cookies & milk for santa every year ( store-bought cookies always bc it’s not like her parents would bake with her  – & some years victoria wouldn’t even remember to buy the cookies & she’d probably take some from her bff peyton’s house ) – & there being times where she’d come downstairs in the morning all excited, but the cookies & milk were left untouched. picture her mom saying to her that santa didn’t eat the cookies, because he’s on the atkins diet this year ( victoria davis voice: we all know the guy could stand to lose a few pounds !! ). basically, brooke’s childhood christmas’ aren’t the happiest. 

as she gets older, her parents become more & more absent – & she turns to a new holiday tradition with her best friend peyton, who’s mother passed away when she was young & her father is always gone for work, so they both end up alone. they order in chinese takeout & watch movies & basically wallow in their aloneness together. despite how sad that sounds, those are probably her best christmas memories, because she’s finally spending the holiday with someone that she considers to be family

for as spirited as brooke is, one would assume she’s really into christmas & other holidays, but because of the way her parents were, it’s not really until she has her own family that she gets super into the holidays. she wants to give her sons the memories that she never got to have – & given the fact that her husband is the most precious dork, you know that their christmas’ are probably all out amazing. she probably doesn’t decorate the house before thanksgiving, because she still thinks that’s ridiculous, but once it’s over she’s breaking out the decorations & decorating the house ( her childhood house – which she now lives in with her own family – her husband bought it for her, because she loves it so much, & she now has the chance to make that house into the home she always wanted it to be when she was little – which g o d, i always cry just thinking about that ). so basically the entire month of december is filled with holiday cheer. i picture her & julian coming up with super elaborate ways to display the boys’ elf on a shelf each night – i picture her supervising while julian bakes christmas cookies with the boys ( because god help us all if she tried to do it herself – she’s not a good cook ), i picture either haley & nathan & quinn & clay & their families ( & lucas & peyton too if they come home for the holidays ) all sitting around together on christmas eve while their kids beg them to let them open just one present before the morning. basically, brooke’s christmas’ as an adult are everything she never had as a kid.
