For many of us, the time around Christmas and New Year’s is a time to gather with friends and extended family. A time to throw a huge party and enjoy celebrating.

If you’ve done it long enough, experience has shown you what to expect from certain people. You know…Uncle George, who always brings fruitcake. Cousin Billy, who eats so many sweets you think his teeth may fall out. Grandma Jenny, who always gives everyone the perfect gift.

Who doesn’t love a party?

That got me wondering, “What would a party of fictional characters look like, especially ones from science fiction and fantasy? Who would fall into which category?” Because surely, why wouldn’t they gather for a holiday party every year?

Here’s a glimpse of what might happen at a spec-fic party.
