One Tag, One Shot

After a job, be it the world's fastest airdrop of gifts to children worldwide, or catching a most wanted felon and dropping them (sometimes head first) at the nearest police station, Nicholas and his crew stop somewhere to unwind. They all have dog tags, and they all hold them up, to show that they are there, and are OK. Those who are present will all take a shot of whatever drink they want, even if it's water or milk.
In the rare event that someone doesn't return, their tags are collected (this is generally either during or immediately after combat), and a glass of their favorite drink is left at an empty place at the bar or table.
Another shot is poured for them upon return to Polaris Incarnate, and everyone greives in their own way. Fortunately, such sad occasions are very few and far between, and the whole thing is mostly a celebration to complete a job well done.

History

It started a few hundred years ago, generally after Christmas Eve deliveries were finished. Santa was tired, and it has become a habit that the first thing he'd do upon return was grab a drink, usually egg nog. This started becoming a thing that occurred whenever he left the North Pole, which naturally included bounty hunting runs, but also grocery trips.

Execution

• Step 1: finish job
• Step 2: find a bar
• Step 3: hold up your tag:

You may repeat steps 3-5 until you are satisfied, are cut off by the bartender, or cut off by Nicholas.

• Your drink of choice
