    Summary

    Despite seeming like quite the cynic, Alfred is rather fond of Christmas. He appreciates traditions and finds joy in decorating for the holiday. However, the tradition of a family celebrating all together is quite the challenge in the Wayne manor, where people come and go, whether by choice or not, so Christmas has taken many different forms in the manor over the years.

    Some snapshots of Christmases Alfred has spent working for the Wayne family.

    Chapter 1: Martha and Thomas appreciate Alfred, and Bruce is a tiny tot.
    Chapter 2: The manor is colder and quieter with only Bruce and Alfred inhabiting it.
    Chapter 3: Bruce is new to Gotham's elite scene, but Alfred helps him prepare.
    Chapter 4: Coming soon...

    Summary

    He's pretty sure the house is haunted.

    Some of the inspirations behind this include Edgar Allen Poe, the entire Gothic Horror genre, and The Addams Family. This fic will focus more on the found family aspect of Batman, but there will still be Batman stuff happening (leaning heavily into the supernatural elements tag.) Expect mostly Dick's POV (chapters from another character's POV will have it mentioned before the chapter.) Tags will be updated as needed.

    Summary

    While Alfred appreciated his employers, he was never especially close to Thomas or Martha.
    Which made it all the more surprising when he was named their son's legal guardian after their passing.
    Bruce doesn't make it easy for him.
