Holiday fic, chapter 1 (repost)

[beer_good_foamy]

OK, this is embarrassing. I started this last year, then hit a snag and didn't manage to finish it before Christmas, and it seemed a bit silly to post holiday fic in March so I put it on the back burner. But here's a new attempt. It's basically finished now, and so I'm going to start by reposting the first chapter. The rest - right now it's looking like five chapters in toto - will be posted over the next few days. Really. I promise.

Title: The Return of the Son of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons
Author: Beer Good (beer_good_foamy)
Rating: PG13
Fandom/timeline: Buffy, s3: "Amends". Except Dawn is in it.
Word Count: ~1500 (this chapter)
Characters: Buffy, Faith, Joyce, Dawn. Canon pairings and crushes alluded to.
Disclaimer:: The characters belong to Joss, yada yada.
Warning: None in this chapter, but there'll be some very silly stuff later on.
Summary: It's Christmas in Sunnydale, Angel has been talked down from the hill and awww, isn't all that snow pretty. That can't be a bad thing, can it? I mean, this is Sunnydale, where the supernatural is always helpful and it's not like magical snow instantly covering the entire town could possibly herald the arrival of... FLESH-EATING ZOMBIE SNOWMEN?!?

Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say
He was made of snow
But the children know
How he came to life one day.
