Christmas Year 1
https://abload.de/img/06.05.23_23-50-391xcax.png
Christmas 2039 - or “Year One”, as Fred put it - saw its share of snow, but overall the weather was mild. Fred therefore opted for a potted Christmas tree, that he’d return to the landscaping company after the holidays. This wasn’t just Fred being a nature enthusiast, he honestly wouldn’t have known how to fit a tree into his little house.
Testing the lights in the deep of night… beautiful!
New Year’s Eve, Year 1
No longer single, but still childless, Fred tended to get the short stick at work when it came to holiday shifts. He was given the choice between working at Christmas or New Year’s Eve, but one of those two holidays he had to give up.

And so, while everyone else in town was getting tipsy, Fred sat at the DPD central station together with the other unfortunates. He usually worked from a smaller station and was stunned at seeing that his workplace’s whole main office would have fit into central station’s cafeteria. Here the officers had pizza (made by Shawn, the sim to the right) and non-alcoholic drinks (made by Fred with a portable bar).
This is a residential lot, a live-in police station where Rika and the other pictured sims live.

The first gift Fred received from his bird friends. It was a high level cook book…
From his parents he received the latest tablet, worth one thousand simoleons. Selling it would have put Fred closer to his 400,000 $ goal, and his parents would have understood this, but he just couldn’t bring himself to do it.
Besides, the portable little computer was useful! Fred could keep notes on it, browse the internet wherever he was during a case and play games to pass time. The joy of his new soccer game vaned, when the avatar gained skills and steadily improved, exactly the ability Fred had lost…

The holiday was a series of highs and lows, it seemed.
When Rika came over, Fred gifted her a new winter outfit in her favorite color combination, blue and orange. Seeing Rika’s face light up was definitely a high!
I felt really clever about this gift, since it didn’t require spending my actual ingame money, just a quick session in CAS.

All this effort, only for the turkey to come out “bad” quality, after all :(
Maybe Fred shouldn’t have followed the instructions from his new cookbook. It certainly expected the reader to have previous experience that Fred no longer possessed. Knowing you had made mistakes, but being unable to learn from them and improve hurt.
I think I miss the cooking skill the most.

Mistletoe to go!

Fred had managed to sneak in some fireworks, that the nightshift officers ignited in a calm hour.
