Paulie and Tommy go Christmas Shopping, but also loses Paulie in the store
This was the weekend of Christmas, Tommy and Paulie had cash, so they decide to go christmas shopping. As they looked around the store, Tommy couldn't help but think about Paulie and what he might want.
Many hours had gone by and Tommy and Paulie both each picked out one gift for every member in the family, including The Don and Frank. All but one; eachother. So the two of them go seperate ways so that they can get the gifts for eachother. Tommy looked around and finds the perfect gift; and he walks back to the counter and pays for it, and he waits for Paulie.
After a few good minutes of waiting, he starts to look for Paulie, panicking a little bit. He stops though right when he sees Paulie and an old lady speaking with one another. "A friend of mine happens to really like this as well...Tommy is just so kind and amazing, I had to get him one." He says, sighing. "I just don't know which one too chose." He says, turning to the shelf of snow globes, and Tommy backs away quickly, smiling warmly.
After they finished shopping, the two met back at the car and drove back to the bar, setting everyones gift under the tree that they had put up.
The next day....
There was a party going on at the bar, and everyone was having a good time. Tommy picked up Frank and Don Salieri's presents from him and walks over, giving the gifts to them. "Here you go, Boss. Merry Christmas." Don Salieri and Frank had both gotten the best cigars in town and matching Christmas Sweaters, and they smiled warmly. "Thank you, Tommy." They said and he nods, walking back to the tree. Him and Paulie both grabbed their gifts for Ralphie and walked over to his garage. He was just sitting away from everyone; relaxing for a minute. "Hey, Ralphie! Merry Christmas!" Paulie said as they walked over and sat with him for a minute. "Here, we got you somethin's." Tommy says, and they pass the gifts to him. And guess what? "W-w-wow!!! That's a-a-a lot of c-c-comics, T-Tommy and Paulie. Thank you!" He says, and he handed them each an "ugly sweater" as their called. "I-I-I knitted those myself." He says, showing his bandaged fingers. "Awww! Thanks Ralphie." The two say, standing up and walking out.
As they both walked into the bar, Sam clears his throat, pointing above them. "Mistletoe. You know what that means." Sam said to them, and everyone look, even the Don. Paulie and Tommy both blush tremendously before turning and kissing eachother under the mistletoe. Everyone cheers for them and they pull away, blushing madly.

Finally, the last gifts of the night. Everyone was chilling out and being quiet, so Tommy grabbed his gift for Paulie. Paulie already had Tommy's ready on the bar. Tommy sits with him, smiling warmly. "Alright, I know that you really like to collect cigarette cards and hats so..." he hands him his gift that was in a box, and Paulie opened it. He gasps when there was a card of him and Tommy in there, and he smiles at it. It was a time when the two were at the race right after Tommy won, they were both holding up the trophy, and he also smiles at the purple hat. "My favorite color. Tommy, you shouldn't have!" He says, and Tommy chuckles softly. " I actually had a friend of mine from Empire Bay make that card. It took him a while, but I was lucky I got done right before Christmas." Tommy says, and he smiles. He gently places the card in the strap of the purple hat, putting it on gently. "There. Now, it took me a good minute picking this out for you." He says, passing him his gift. He opens it and widens his eyes. It was a beautiful snow glove that had a little fox in it; his favorite animal. "Aww, thank you Paulie..." he says softly, and the two scoot closer, sharing a passionate kiss.
