#one year it was a gorgeous saddle with leather toolwork horses running along the fenders

[sednonamoris]

okay imagining christmases before everything went to shit w the van der linde gang 🙇 i feel like the girls decorated the wagons and pearson cooked up a Feast - a proper christmas goose hunted by one of their own - with a half-high prayer from reverend swanson before they all dug in. gifts exchanged were always humble but meaningful and most importantly dutch dressed up as santa and handed them out. little jack was old enough at this point to know it was uncle dutch dressed up but young enough to be entirely charmed by it. screaming crying throwing up thinking abt them all singing around the fires.
