A Tygerian Christmas

Blake has big plans for the holidays. With no skills at all in the kitchen nor in decorating, he still decides to try and create the "perfect Tygerian Christmas." He orders a complete holiday meal—like the ones he remembers from Earth. His reasoning is that Tygerians have no idea what they're missing, and they'd love Christmas and holiday meals if they were just exposed to them. He plans a big dinner with all the trimmings and plans to teach the holiday traditions to all his sons and create wonderful new Christmas memories.
His plans begin to unravel when one thing after another goes wrong. No one seems to care, the food he ordered is all wrong and he loses his temper, along with the joy he used to find in the holiday. Davos is out of town, avoiding him, and none of his children seem interested at all in his plans. Blake's hidden fears bubble to the surface and he wonders why he even tries. Frustrated and unhappy, he wishes he'd never come to Tygeria in the first place, throws a jar of gravy against the wall, and slips in the greasy mess, knocking himself out. When he wakes up, his whole life has changed, and he gets the chance to see what his life might have been like if he'd never come to Tygeria or met Davos or had any children at all. He learns that sometimes life is really wonderful after all, and it's a terrible mistake to throw it all away. Because love, like the holiday spirit, can show up where it's least expected. And maybe, just maybe, it's been there all along.
