• Since it's already obvious who's the jolly one and who's not, you just know that as soon as Christmas things start appearing in stores in the some month stupid like May, Rick is instantly letting out a loud scoff because let's face it, May is waaaaay too early to put that shit out. How about at least the 1st of December? you know, the actual month the holiday is on...
• There's an even louder groan from him come November when they start playing Christmas songs on the radio...
• Rick prefers this holiday over any other, it gives him an excuse to be as lazy as he wants, not do much, and just eat whatever he wants without a care in the world.
• This is one of June's favourite holidays because it's all about bringing people together.
• June's Christmas card list is fucking long... Rick doesn't get how she knows so many people...
• Rick and June do the visiting instead of letting others come over to see them, Rick prefers it that way because then he can come and go as he pleases.
• Throughout the holiday, June nicknames him "The Grinch" for obvious reasons. And he absolutely hates it... Which is why she does it even more.
• Whenever Christmas Wrapping comes on in the car radio, June's instantly in carpool karaoke mode whilst Rick is just sat there with a straight face, tapping a foot or if he's the one driving, tapping the side of his thumb against the steering wheel.
• Christmas music is the only music that June will play in the house a couple of days before the big day. She'll put it on loud, only for it to be turned down whilst she's not looking.
• If you thought June was as competitive as you could possibly get with decorating during Halloween, then well... You haven't seen nothing yet.
• Rick can bitch and complain how much he wants, but when he and June go out to a Christmas party and he's had one too many beers, he's stood there with an arm wrapped around June's shoulder, beer bottle in the other belting out the lyrics to Fairytale of New York. He's loving life and singing his heart out as he holds the one person he loves most close.
• June started this little thing with Rick where they buy fluffy pjs and wear them the on Christmas Eve.
• June is definitely a candle person, so there's always a strong scent of gingerbread wafting through the house.
• June never runs out of ideas on what to get Rick, she likes to spoil him.
• Rick never really knows what to get June, he sort of struggles with gift buying... So throughout the year, he watches her when they're out, seeing what she'll take a liking to.
• Surprisingly, Rick is the one to jump on June when Christmas Day comes around. He's up early and will happily drag her out of bed. You would have thought with how grumpy he is, it would be June being the one to get up early and do the waking up when the morning of the big day comes around. But I guess he likes to keep us all on our toes. It's probably just payback from the amount of times he gets jumped on throughout the year.
• Since they visit June's family, neither of them drink until they get home that night.
• Given how well Rick gets on with June's family, he feels right at home when he's over at the Moone's, surrounded by her parents, her brothers and their partners. It's nice. He feels like he's got a family of his own.
• June has thrown around the idea of going away for Christmas a few times, thinking that maybe seeing so many people would get a bit annoying for him, but Rick is just happy staying put and doing what they usually do every year.
• Once Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are over and they've seen everyone, they can finally have time to themselves to just drink, eat and just do literally nothing but relax.

• June is the life of the party, of course. And Rick? Yeah, he’s not all that bothered... He would rather be asleep.
• Not really being one for parties, Rick would very much prefer to stay in the house. He’s quite happy to hand out candy and leave it at that.
• June is more than happy to stay at home, watch some movies with Rick and have a big night in cuddled up on the couch together, but a big part of her wants to be out celebrating with him and their friends.
• Leading up to the day, June convinces her grump to help her put up the decorations. He secretly enjoys helping her out decorating the front yard because she makes sure to go all out each year with some sort of display and does a damn good job at it.
• Turns out June's in some sort of competition with the neighbours to see who has the best displays. The neighbours ought to consider themselves lucky that Rick hasn't gotten involved in the competition... He's a whole lot more competitive than June.
• Pumpkin carving? Definitely not for Colonel Flag. He can’t stand the smell of them, so there ain’t no way he’s going to carve any…
• June likes to buy all the novelty Halloween stuff... So you can guarantee that she's bought Rick a good few pairs of underwear and socks with pumpkins, ghosts and other monsters on them.
• “June, I’m not gonna dress up. I’m puttin’ my damn foot down.” He ends up dressed up anyway…
• If he finds he has no choice, Rick will leave the costume choices up to June. it's just easier that way.
• If they do go to any parties, Rick will complain like hell on the way there but once he's there, he's like a completely different person. With a beer bottle in hand, his friends and June by his side, he lets loose and allows himself to enjoy the night.
• He tries to deny it, but he seems to end up enjoying himself a little more as each year goes by.

Author's note: So, this is my first time writing something for Tumblr, or rather, something that isn't in an RP format, so I'm definitely not confident with this at all. After rewatching Suicide Squad, I got throw into such a moonflag mood, so I came up with... whatever this is. Enjoy?
