It was a cold and snowy night.. But you could feel the Magic in the air.. It was as if something big was about to happen.. The children in the Pike house were a little restless.. They had been home all day.. So with that, they began to pick at each other.. Carol could see the night was going to be a long one.. As no one would be sleeping.. They would be up and down all night long just like Santa going from house to house.. "Let's go for a walk down the street." Carol said to the children.. Maybe this would tire them out.. "Really?" Bridget asked, looking at her Mother like she had lost her mind.. "We all have warm coats, and hats.. Let's go for a window shop." Carol said in an upbeat voice.. It would also give Joseph time without the children.. "What is a window Shop?" Harry asked, looking at her.. "Well we go for a walk down the street, look in all the shop windows and then we come home and have a cup of hot chocolate. How does that sound?" Carol asked, smiling at Harry.. "Sounds good to me." Hunter said going to get his and Harry's coats and hats.. "Cool. I'm in." Jade said looking at the girls.. They all nodded and went for their coats.. "Ya had me at Hot Chocolate." Harleen said giggling..

Once they reached the stairs, Harleen looked up at Carol with that Please look.. "Yes we can ask if Ivy is allowed to come too." Carol said, smiling down at the girl.. "See, I knew Santa gave me the bestest Mummy in the world for a reason." Harleen said giggling... She ran off and knocked on the door.. It opened slightly.. Flora peeked out.. "Oh it's you." She said opening the door.. "Ivy!" Harleen yelled as she ran to greet her friend.. "Hello Alice, Mario, girls.." Carol said, smiling at them.. Mario grunted, all the girls said hello.. "Where are you going this fine evening?" Alcie asked, looking worried as per usual.. "We are going Window shopping." Harry said smiling.. "Why do you want new Windows?" Flora asked, looking at them like they were mad.. "No, we are going to look at the toy shop windows." Carol replied.. She of course knew what was in the window displays downtown.. "Can I go Pleaseee?" Ivy asked, begging her Mother to let her go.. "I want to go too." Lilian said giggling.. "No!" Mario said without a thought.. "Daddy I can go too." Flora said, smiling at Hunter.. "Yes you can all go." Alice replied, looking at Mario.. He did not say a word, but got up and walked out the door.. "I'm sorry." Carol said.. "He will be, now get your coats, girls." Alice said fussing over them.. Once coats were on with a lot of chatter they were on their way.. Mario, who had been in the hall, returned to the apartment and smiled at Alice..

Earlier that day...

Rachel stood looking into the window.. Her eyes were shining.. "Is that really how Santa's workshop really works?" She asked her Aunty Maranda.. They were looking in the toy shop window that had the display of toy elves working in Santa's workshop.. "Similar I believe." Maranda said with a smile.. "I would like that Baby doll they are working on over there." Rachel said pointing to the doll in the back.. She was on the conveyor belt and getting her pink clothes on.. "She is a beauty." Maranda said smileing.. "I want that American Girl doll." Samantha said with a longing smile.. "But you have one." Rachel said.. "I know, but Tabatha Ann will get lonely when I go to school." Samantha said.. "How will that be possible, you have about a dozen dolls in your room Samantha Kean." Maranda said, smiling at the girl.. She loved to tease her.. "I do not know Aunty, but I know I would like another doll for Christmas.. Oh and lots of clothes for her." Samantha said.. "Like Ashlyn Wayne. I think she has everything those dolls can get." Rachel said giggling.. "She dose not have a dinner, set." Samantha replied with a smile.. "Did you ask her?" Rachel asked as she moved along and on to the next window.. "Yes, oh look Aunty, it's the baby Jesus." Samantha said, trying hard to forget about the Wayne's.. "Yes, doesn't he look lovely with Mary and Joseph?" Maranda said smiling.. "I do like them." Rachel said as she then moved on.. "Santa!" Rachel yelled, smiling and waving to him.. He said with his frozen smile and automatic arm waving at the children.. "He looks a little creepy." Samantha said, eyeing him off.. "Well he aint!" Rachel said.. "Is not." Maranda automatically corrected her.. "Santa is not creepy, Samantha." Rachel replied with a giggle.. Samantha poked her tongue at Rachel.. They both then began to giggle..
