CJ? huge lesbian, Freddie’s been her gf

Harry? flirts with anyone and everyone on two legs. kissed Gil and gets jealous when he bonds with Jay, falling over his feet for Uma, literally goes for one girl after the next at the end of D3. he is fighting for his life in the Biggest Simp competition against Chad Charming and his uncle Morgie and is somehow still winning (and they have literally barked 🙄)

Harriet??? oh lord is she a girlkisser. I will fully buy that she’s bi, but she kisses women

and if you’re a Hook kid! Red advocate, boom, glassheart.

So first off, with how they live and who they are they just grow their own Christmas tree with magic, it's a big one that stands in the mansion's ballroom decorated with ornaments that look like bombs (CJ's idea) and crafts that Harriet got from the pixies in Neverland.

Instead of a golden star there's a pirate flag on top (James insisted) where Morgie uses his magic to create a weak wind so the flag is always on full display

Mistletoes spread ALL OVER the place, mainly by Harry and James who want to take every opurtunity they can to kiss their significant others, and it helps if anyone at the place feel like playing matchmaker

They invite Uliana and Hades over for Christmas but usually Hades gets roped into spending Christmas with Ben's family since Mal wants him there.

They don't really mind though, less risk off something lighting on fire and he sends gifts for everyone

Now other families might have a structured order when it comes to opening presents but in the Hook household? It's a free for all

Ribbons and wrapping paper EVERYWHERE

First time Gil and Uma where invited over to Harry's place for Christmas they thought everyone was losing their minds

Food is always a big deal, especially now that they're off the island.

Chicken, ham, veggies, potatoes galore.

Not to forget about the sweets, James has to guard the dough and batter of any sweets made so that the kids don't eat it all in one go, his husband isn't much better.

In all seriousness though, apparently in one of the descendants wiki (although I am skeptical cuz wikis can be changed), it says that Hook eventually conquered his fear over the crocodile and even stuck his head in its jaws for Evie’s bday(?)

But then that got me thinking, this guy has been terrified of the crocodile, so how does he get over this fear? My answer: father’s love.

That crocodile is always after Hook (even going as far to the isle, unbelievable, captain can’t catch a break) but then it catches eye of them lil Hookling codfishes. Little appetizers. Yummy!

Typical little pirates off to explore away from the Captain’s eye despite being told to stay put (probably managed to lose Smee along the way as well) and found themselves in danger!

It’s one thing if that beast went after him, but it’s another thing if it goes after his children! The children who are the last thing he has of Bridget! He’s lost her, but he isn’t going to lose them! He’s already lost Bridget thanks to that “Beast King”, Hook ain’t going to lose his children to that damn Tik Tok Croc! After one crazy fight, Captain Hook’s gotten over his fear of the crocodile (for the moment, it’ll be a process to get over that fear) and his kids excitedly going on about their brave dad!

The kids are probably a little scared of the crocodile themselves after that incident. ‘Twas a frightful encounter and certainly ain’t complaining (well some complaint about the child leashes) when they’re told to stay in the ship for a while.

.....this. Is. Awesome! :D Yeah, it never quite made sense to me that the books (not just the wiki's so this is true info) said that Hook was willing to put his one remaining hand/head in Tic Tok's mouth for evie’s sake. (a child that isn't even Hook's btw, so why would he do that? Or even like her for that matter?)

But the way you've put it makes so much sense! The only way Captain Hook was going to get over his crocodile fear, was if it finally crossed that one line he wouldn't tolerate...going after Hook's kids.

As said, Tick Tok messing with him is one thing...but his kids? BRIDGET'S kids? Ooooh, it is ON between Hook and that Croc! He probably messed the animal up so badly, Tick Tok 'retired' to a little pool in the cove and never came out again!

Hook: "Keep. Your. Teeth. AWAY from MY KIDS, you blasted reptile! UNDERSTAND?!"

So far we know @frenchgirltalya is obsessed with these & @brokenmilkcrates thinks Morgie’s in his Bruno Madrigal arc😭🙏

I believe Erin made the Harriet idea btw so creds to them!!

And then for her to out that her kids lost their innocence anyway becuse they were sent to the Isle. When they didn't do anything...it would almost send her over the edge again...

We have the same idea for Bridget's mom!

The saddest part is that while she couldn't do anything to stop it from happening to her eldest children after they were taken, the cycle of abuse, unfortunately, continued because of what she made Red's childhood and later her teens into.

Even though it was her way of "toughening," Red up it doesn't excuse it, and I'm sure after them all being reunited and then hearing what her older kids went through on the Isle it would cause her to really think about the pain that she caused her youngest child even if she saw it as her only option and way to protect her at the time. After all, she'd lived through the same thing with her own mother.

And, that is my very long-winded way of saying that I agree that hearing about the childhoods that she missed would almost definitely bring her to the edge, especially because it would force her to confront the fact that she forced, through not exactly the same thing, but still close onto Red.

Back when Hook's wife was alive, they had a tradition where Hook would dress up as Santa and leave presents under the tree and go to the Hooklings' rooms (since all 3 shared the same room back then, cz the Jolly Roger had too many crew members) and leave footprints, where his wife would springkle fake snow to leave a trail,

And one time, CJ was waiting for santa, flashlight clutched with one hand and her stuffed animal on the other, and she saw Hook kiss her mom, and she turned the flashlight on and screamed, "Mom's kissing santa!!"
