[So Tybalt's run about as ragged as any pureblood can be. He didn't sleep during that entire fiasco with the Jabberwock, didn't eat all that much, had to deal with his girlfriend's crazy Mirror, and hasn't actually been able to do any magic for about the last week.

Needless to say, he sounds a little pissed]

So. Is that normal around Christmastime here?

[ Right, because nobody ever thought of making a plan before. It's been nothing but pitchforks and torches on the road so far. ]

We have a great routine plan for the killing. Getting it to stay dead is the tricky part.

Has anyone tried iron? Silver? Both? Or simply burning it?

d.) All of the above

The only thing that harms it at all is the Vorpal Sword, which belongs to the Queen of Hearts. Everything else barely leaves a scratch.

Yet that won't keep it dead.

[radiopalkiller]

Better than never getting it dead in the first place. One year is a long time here.

Like I said before, you're welcome to come up with a better idea.

Burning the corpse?

[radiopalkiller]

It does that on its own. Did you notice the barren patch by the hills? That's where it dissolved last time.

This time I'm not so sure. The Queen said it had been "captured", but so far I haven't had any luck figuring out exactly what she means by that.

I can see how self-immolation would cause a problem.

Obviously she means nothing good.

I haven't noticed a pattern in how or where it re-forms either; if there's a process that can be stopped, then nobody's seen it so far.

The Queen of Hearts has gotten it out of the way twice before, I'll say that much for her. Trying to keep it contained though, if that is what's happening, I'm not sure it will end well.

Of course it won't end well. How could attempting to tame a monster that can haunt nightmares and cross realms ever end well?

[radiopalkiller]

I'm not sure getting it to do tricks is involved, but that's about as optimistic as I'll be. I can't think of anything here that could hold it for long, because if something like that existed I don't see why she wouldn't have used it sooner than that.

Anyway, you were asking about our "normal" Christmas. That about sums it up.
