Little Drummer Boy (Bob Floyd x Reader)
Summary: An age old tradition makes the best memories for you, Bob and your family
Note: Inspired by the music video for King and Country’s version of one of my favorites. I’ll post the link for it here, guys this video absolutely blew my mind and all I could think of watching it was Lewis.
Tagging: @fanboygarcia @rhettabbotts @nobody7102 and @sebsxphia guys I really hope you like this, it’s been sitting in the back of my brain for a while now (Sebbie, I still owe you those asks which will be done in no time at all, lol).
“Auggie!” Bob called from the top of the basement stairs. “August Robert, come on up here! Mimi and Papa have a surprise for you!”
Auggie came bounding up the basement stairs from where he, Patrick and his cousins had been playing beanbag toss, nearly losing his tiny wireframe glasses in the process. Unfortunately, his footsteps were more akin to Rooster’s, loud and stomping as he ran up the stairs and into the kitchen.
“Auggie, walking feet please,” you told him sternly. “Rudy just fell asleep.”
“Sorry Momma,” Auggie whispered.
“C’mere bud,” Joe told him before he and Mickey had finished re-arranging a few of the Christmas ornaments on the tree. “We got you something for tonight.”
Auggie jumped and clapped his little hands together. It wasn’t often that Bob’s parents got to spoil the ever living shit out of their grandkids, but when they did, the kids were more than happy and grateful for it, especially around this time of year.
Auggie gave his grandfather a huge hug before he opened the present, you, Bob and the rest of the Dagger Squad watching to see his reaction.
Those big blue eyes behind his little glasses went even wider when he saw what lay within the shiny green and red paper. It was a little wood and canvas drum that was the perfect size for Auggie, complete with a set of sticks that weren’t too big or too small, made from birch wood that was nearly white.
“THANK YOU PAPA!!!” Auggie nearly screamed as he hugged his grandfather again.
“That’s from me, Momma, your dad, Mimi and Grandpa Birdy,” Joe chuckled. “And it’s for you to play tonight during the walk.”
Auggie was excited beyond words as he ran to put his drum and drumsticks upstairs in his bedroom, his little feet thundering up the stairs along with Nicky, Pete, Tiago and TJ.
“Man I have never seen a kid that excited before,” Payback laughed.
“Oh believe me, if you gave him a banana for Christmas, he’d be just as happy,” you laughed.
Bob kissed your cheek and gently scratched Rudy’s soft little hand with his fingertips. “I hope he comes back down soon,” Bob said. “We still have to make sure Nestor’s settled for tonight.”
“He will be,” you told him. “There’s nothing the little guy can’t face.”
A smile broke out on Bob’s face. “You’re right,” he chuckled. “I’ve seen him pull a plow three times his size and he’s still got enough energy in him to keep going.”
You put Rudy upstairs in the crib where Rudy and Mickey’s daughter would be sleeping for the next few days, before you, Bob, Mickey and Joe headed out into the snow to the barn where all the critters had been sheltered from the freezing cold of the day and night.
Down the row of stables and pens you went until you came to one near where Thunder, Bob’s mustang, was munching away at the hay in his trough, until you found the one belonging to Nestor.
The grey and brown donkey lay asleep in the hay, perking up his long, pointy ears when Bob whistled for him to come. Out of the pocket of his Carhardt jacket, he pulled a few sprigs of peppermint from Irene’s indoor garden box before Nestor munched it right from the palm of his hand.
“He’s got a long walk ahead of him tonight,” you remarked, petting his short, fuzzy little snout.
“That’s nothing,” Mickey said, laughing a little. “When Abuelo Pedro was growing up in Mexico, the whole town used to walk up the steep hills where the church was.”
“Every year?” Bob asked him.
“Every year on Christmas Eve and every Sunday,” Mickey explained. “Christmas Eve, they’d each light a candle and carry it with them while they walked up the hills with the rest of the group at midnight.”
You and Bob listened with awe as Mickey told about the deep seeded family traditions of Mickey’s family, tracing them from the mountains of Colombia and eventually to Mexico City. Now that you and Bob would be experiencing it for yourselves, it lit a new fire of excitement in the both of you.
***********************
Christmas Eve
Cheyenne Falls, OK
Floyd Ranch
“You gonna be warm (y/n)?” Bob asked as he placed Rudy in your warms, the newborn comfortably swaddled in Joe’s Indian blanket.
“I’ll be perfectly fine,” you told him. “Besides, this little guy is the one I’m most worried about.”
Bob smiled as he kissed Rudy’s delicate little head and placed his little blue pacifier in his mouth. “His first Christmas and he gets to rest in the little manger at the church,” Bob half laughed. “Lucky him.”
“Hey you did it too, remember?” you chuckled.
“Oh you’ve been listening to my mom and my gram’s horror stories again, haven’t you?” Bob laughed, unable to control the grin that broke out on his face.
You kissed him sweetly on the lips, adjusting Rudy in your arms so that he would stay warm. “C’mon,” you said. “Everybody’s waiting.”
You and Bob all went down to meet the rest of the family, each one of them prepared to play their part in the Christmas walk. Auggie stood in front of Hangman, bouncing on his heels with excitement and chattering away with his godfather.
“Ya know Boob, every year since I was this kiddo’s age it’s the same,” Hangman remarked. “I always end up playing a wise man in the Christmas pageant.”
“Wise ass is more like it,” Bob chuckled.
Hangman blew him a raspberry and so didn’t Auggie.
“Hey, you’d better behave yourself good sir,” Bob warned him. “Otherwise you’re going on Santa’s naughty list.”
“Yes Daddy,” Auggie chirped, straightening himself up.
The chatter died down as soon as Mickey’s grandparents, Pedro and Alma, entered the room, motioning for everyone to come gather around, linking their hands as Abuelo Pedro said a quick Hail Mary for a safe journey.
Outside everyone went where Joe had readied Nestor with his little saddle. Bob helped you up, making sure that Rudy was safe, the both of you quickly quieting the cry that escaped his throat. Pedro and Alma helped each person in the group light the fat tapers they held in their hands, some red, pink, blue, purple, gold and green.
“Shall we go?” Alma asked.
Auggie stood beside her and the others at the front, Bob holding Nestor’s bridle as the others followed close behind. Auggie began to play, unable to resist the thought of doing so. He looked up at Alma before she smiled down at him, laughing a little as she remembered Mickey doing the same thing when he had been Auggie’s age.
It wasn’t long before you heard Bob’s voice singing those familiar words, the others joining in along with you, your voices becoming nearly one as they sang the tale of the little boy who had nothing to give, save for the beautiful music he made with his simple drum.
Other families, many of them Joe and Irene’s neighbors, had come to join the group, shutting their doors with a candle or a lantern in their hands. The Changs and their four grown sons climbed over the fence, Ali and Noor El Bisi following behind them with a lantern that Ali’s father had brought with him from Egypt, the Whittaker’s and their brood of twelve, the eldest in college and the youngest barely a toddler. So many families from far corners of the world and all walks of life, joined you and the rest of the squad, journeying through the cold and snow to the edge of the town where St. Michael’s Church had stood since the early days of the wild west, built by the hands of the Irish, Italians, Germans and so many others who had come to find shelter in the prairie hills.
Your eyes looked down at Rudy as you sang, yours and Bob’s precious newborn, fast asleep as the choir of voices sang along with yours. Your eyes soon met Bob’s, that same loving look that never left his eyes since the two of you had gotten married.
At last the huge stone church came into view, tall and looming, the lights visible in the stained glass windows as onlookers had gathered to watch and take pictures or short videos, all of them in awe of the voices that sang across the hills in the dark, your faces illuminated only by the light of the flames that flickered from the candle wicks.
Near the doors of the church, you could see Father Gonzales, the grandfather of one of Auggie’s classmates, a huge smile on his face and yours growing broader knowing that you and Bob were surrounded by the people you loved the most.
“Merry Christmas Bob,” you whispered to him. “I love you.”
“I love you too sweetheart,” he whispered back. “Merry Christmas.”
That night, you said a silent “thank you” for the family you had and the people who had made your life worth living.

OK, I’ve already posted my Scooby-Doo chibi re-designs, and I have some Sailor Moon ones done but it’ll be a while before I can scan them. In the mean time, which ones should I finish next? I have sketches of all these, I’m just not sure which ones should get the final polish-
-TMNT (includes the Turtles, Splinter, April, Casey, Shred, and Karai... maybe Bebop and Rocksteady)
the Flintstones, the Jetsons (the whole families, plus the pets and Rosie)
Speed Racer (the Racer family plus Chim-Chim, Trixie, Sparky, and Racer X)
Batman (the Batfamily with all the Robins/Batgirls/Nightwing, Alfred, Jim Gordon, Catwoman, and several villain including the Joker and Harley)
Digimon (Adventure 1 and 2, Tamers, and Frontier because those are my favorites)
Pokemon (I kind of just want to do re-designs and a reboot as well, so imagine a new take on the Protag Trainer/Ash, the Rival, Prof Oak, Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and the Rockets)
Archi characters (the main Riverdale kids, plus Josie and the Pussycats and Sabrina the Teenage Witch)
KND (Sector V plus the Delightfuls)
Matilda (I know this is a book/movie not a show, but I always wanted to do designs for it. Matilda and her family, Miss Honey, the Trunchbull, and few kids from school)
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (same reason. Charlie’s family, the winning ticket kids, Willy Wonka, and some Oompa Loompas)
Hell Boy (HB, his pop, Liz, Abe, Myers because I miss him, and a few other BPRD agents)
Rainbow Brite (all the Color Kids, Stormy and Skydancer, Starlight, Murky and Lurky, Twink, Brian, plus Krys and On-x)
X-Men (there are a heck ton of them, but I’d do the core groups plus a few extra)
Percy Jackson and the Olympians/Heroes of Olympus (the seven, Grover, Juniper, Tyson, Ella, coach Hedge, Nico, Will, the Stole brothers, Luke, Clarisse, maybe a few more)
Power Rangers (nobody specific, probably just make up my own)
RECESS (TJ and his group, King Bob, Randall, Miss Finster, Miss Grotke, Principal Prickly, maybe a few more playground kids like the Diggers and Upside-Down Girl)

Indoor Fun for Florida’s Nature Coast
Do you wonder what to do when it's raining and humid, but you need to get out and have some fun. Even when it is sunny, hot, and humid in Florida's Nature Coast, one can get a little stir-crazy. Most of our nature coast activities are outdoors, so what is there to do?
Meet Diana Marsh from Paint the Town Citrus. She is the heartbeat of four businesses in the Crystal River Mall and her energy and charisma provided a solution for our area's need for indoor fun.
Paint the Town Citrus is a large paint and sip store, where you can visit any day between one and five p.m., except Tuesdays, to create one of hundreds of paintings in the colors you want, guided by an artist. This place takes the “paint and sip” concept to a higher level by providing the ability to choose from hundreds of predesigned paintings, and to customize the colors of your creation to meet your décor.
You can have painting parties of up to 50 people at Paint the Town Citrus. Each person can create the same painting or a different one.
There is the ability to have parties of up to fifty people, complete with beer, wine, sodas and food, creating a painting of your choice. A well-established local artist will be your instructor and all the materials needed for each guest to create their very own painting are included.
There are literally hundreds of paintings to choose from. Here is a link to most of what’s available.
There are classes by local and renown artists. Here is Florida Highwaymen artist Curtis Arnett and two of his students with their creations.
Paint the Town Citrus also has “Paint Your Own Pet” Nights, “Bob Ross" Oil classes, Florida landscape class with Florida Highwayman Curtis Arnett, paint with coffee class, traditional oil painting class, watercolor classes and many more. Their schedule is here. All classes include all the supplies needed to take home a 16” x 20” special project.
The Nature Coast’s largest art gallery is located in the store also, featuring subjects galore from animals to cartoons to landscapes and people. There are over 2,500 pieces of art available – some from famous artists such as the Florida Highwaymen and others from the local artists that provide instruction in the store.

Nikki B’s All-American Restaurant
In the Crystal River Mall is a food court, with Nikki B’s All-American Restaurant offering custom hot dogs such as the Detroit Coney, featuring a Dearborn natural casing hot dog with Detroit style Coney sauce, mustard and chopped onions on a toasted bun. It tastes just like the ones on Grand Avenue in Detroit. There’s the Flint dog, the Chicago dog featuring a Vienna beef frank with relish, pickle, tomato, sports peppers and celery salt in a poppyseed bun, a New Yorker, Green Bay, Cleveland, Seattle and Atlanta dog, which is a bacon-wrapped hot dog with spicy BBQ sauce and cole slaw on a hoagie roll.
This is a true Detroit Coney Dog from Nikki B's All-American Restaurant. Tastes just like home.
When first hearing about Nikki B’s, the skeptic came out. Having been disappointed at many restaurants that claim a true Detroit Coney, this food court location hit the mark! Root beer floats, make your own dogs, “Poutine,” Greek salad, and several other regional favorites make a fantastic menu that was served with attention to detail. Fresh ingredients and handcrafted hot dogs made a fan out of me.
Creating a painting takes time, so a meal can provide a nice break. At Paint the Town Citrus, they let you take as long as it takes to finish your masterpiece.
However, painting in a store may not be the best thing to do with children who like to move and touch when they create.
Citrus Coastal Creations
Coastal Creations is a great place to take younger people for a fun, creative session. With spin art, sand art, sticker art, plaster painting, and make your own jewelry projects available for walk-ins, your child (or inner child) will feel accomplished when they create their own 3d masterpiece.
Kits to create masterpieces
Locally made nature coast crafts
Art projects provide a great outlet for active kids.
Arts, crafts and gifts are plentiful.
Manatee crafts too.
Citrus Coastal Creations carries all types of Nature Coast crafted gifts for sale also. Beautiful wearables, linens, jewelry, home décor and more from local crafters are priced nicely so you can shop while your partner-in-crime creates.
There are many amazing gifts at Coastal Creations.
TG Stylz
Then there is TG Stylz, an upscale but relaxed salon where you can get pampered, puffed, beautified and more – and shop the lovely boutique full of clothing and accessories.
TG Stylz is a full-service salon offering spa services like facials, manicures, pedicures, eyelash extensions, permanent makeup, waxing, and even Invisablend® hair thinning treatments.
A nice entrance to a casual but professional salon at TJ Stylez. Creative stylists and a wonderful clothing boutique make a great combo.
Their creativity with hair is phenomenal – color, highlights, cuts, Brazilian blowouts, extensions, dreads, braids, Ombre color and Up dos.
But the clothing boutique makes TG Stylz an even more wonderful find for when you want to look your best from head to toe. Go ahead and stop in to shop and while you are there talk to a stylist about the look you have in mind and “get ‘er done” with style.
My "Paint Your Pet" experience at Paint the Town Citrus
Genesis, my young filly being silly.
I have a six-month old filly named Genesis. She is so adorable and when I found out you could bring a picture of your pet to Paint the Town Citrus, I wanted to paint “Gennie.” I called 352-601-1344 and talked to “Autum,” a local artist who provides Bob Ross painting instruction as well as sells some of her artwork at the onsite gallery.
One of Paint the Town Citrus' artists draws my photo like a paint by number.
I drove to the Crystal River Mall, just north of the city of Crystal River. When I arrived, I was given a smock and offered a beverage. Meanwhile, my photo was taken to the back room where an artist quickly rough sketched the image onto a 16 x 20 canvas and printed a copy for Autum who would guide me.
Rough sketch with background painted.
I sat down and was given a palette of color on a plate and a handful of brushes. The canvas reminded me of a paint-by-number project of my youth, except there were no numbers and my colors were hand-mixed my Autum.
We had a printed copy of the picture for Autum to guide me with. She mixed the paints for me.
Painting each section with the mixed paint and the appropriate brush, guided with Autum’s technique suggestions, I was comfortable and happy making something that now graces my home and I proudly show to family and friends.
About mid-way, I was offered food because it is part of the “all inclusive” package that Paint the Town Citrus offers. I had eaten lunch before arriving but was talked into a fried ice cream from Nikki B’s. Peaches and cream was the variety I chose, and it was so delicious that I plan to visit just to enjoy that dessert again. After dessert, I always want coffee and that was gladly provided.
Delicious dessert was included in my "All inclusive package." This is Nikki B's Fried Ice Cream with peaches and cream toppings. Yes. It is as good as it looks!
Honestly, I felt a bit like a celebrity with all the service.
I continued brushing my canvas, turning it to make application easier and talking with my guide. Then she took the canvas and blow dried it! This was so I could make a few final strokes to add texture and light, completing the portrait and – WOW – I am so happy with the results!
Ta! Da! Here is Genesis by me, created with love at Paint the Town Citrus with guidance from Autum. (See how it matches my wall?)
When I left, I was floating on air because I was so proud of my creation. It looks great in my house and I am already planning to go back and do it again in a couple of weeks for another pet (We have 6.)
The Crystal River Mall
All four of these businesses are located in the Crystal River Mall, 1801 US 19 just north of the city of Crystal River. This mall is primarily home to small businesses and has only a Rural King anchor store and a Regal Cimemas movie theater. The center of the mall has a whimsical sail-themed ceiling and there are many events held here, from Trick-or-treat nights to Art Walks. The mall got a bad reputation when its former anchor stores closed, but the owners have stepped up to make it nice again.
