"We're here!" Riley says, after knocking on the door several times. Sebastian finally answers the door, thankfully in pants. Koi immediately passes past Sebastian and goes straight to Jericho to share the good news about his new keyboard. Eden gives Sebastian a hug and makes a beeline to the snacks laid out on the counter.

"Oh, by the way...." Ssebastian says, smirking. "I may or may not have put about 10 mistletoe around the house. So when the other guests come, it will be utter chaos. Just how I like it."

"Those poor kids. Why must you put them through all that pain?" Riley says, "Also, can you help me with this giant present that is definitely not yours?" Riley holds up the canvas wrapped in newspapers with a big red bow slapped in the middle.

"It smells really good." Sebastian says after taking a giant sniff. Riley nods, and attempts to fit it through the doorway on his own, Sebastian remembers he's supposed to help, and they take it inside and carefully leans it against the wall underneath the tree.

Suddenly, there's another knock on the door. Jericho goes over to it and opens it, and sees McKayla, Aiden, and Kathrine, all holding different food items.

"I brought pie as a peace offering." McKayla tells Jericho.

"Blueberry, right?" Jericho asks, teasing.

"Of course." McKayla says, and rolls her eyes before walking inside, Kathrine and Aiden trailing behind.

"Hi! Merry Christmas guys!" Eden greets them, Jericho turns his head and raises an eyebrow at Eden, he was pretty sure that Eden had an undying hatred for McKayla, but he's proved wrong.

Aiden breaks off and starts to talk to Koi, and Kathrine goes to Sebastian and Riley. McKayla stays next to Eden, and they unpack the food together in the kitchen.

Suddenly, there is more knocking on the door, except it's more aggressive, so Jericho already assumes it's Ethan. Jericho sprints to the door and opens it, and Ethan, Jared, and Reagan stand at the threshold.

"Oooh, festive!" Reagan says excitedly. "I brought Pecan Pie Cookies." She says and shakes a big box in her hands, and goes inside to talk to Eden.

"I brought a gift and a karaoke machine. I pray for you and your neighbors." Ethan says and walks inside, putting the gift under the tree and sitting down in a chair. Eden immediately gets up to talk to Ethan.

"Where's your masterpiece?" Eden asks, sitting down next to him.

"Up your butt and around the corner." Ethan says. They are all wearing ugly Christmas sweaters, Ethan's wearing a Christmas sweater with a Sexy Santa on it.

"Nice sweater." Eden adds, "But seriously, why did you make a-," Ethan covers her mouth with his hand before her sentence can be completed.

"Shut up, you'll see." Ethan says, moving his hand.

then, Jericho appears in front of them, and says, "Move over, Ethan." Ethan moves a bit to the side of his chair and Jericho sits next to him.

"I like your sweater." Ethan tells him. Jericho is wearing a Christmas sweater with a reindeer's head on it, with the word 'Horny' underneath it.

"Your heads are stuck in the gutter." Eden tells them. Her sweater is green and has two gingerbread men on it, on the top it says 'Oh, Snap!'

"Oh, trust me, I had to convince Jericho not to wear a crop top on New Years." Ethan laughs, Jericho denies it but Eden refuses to believe Jericho. She insists Jericho crop his sweater right now, but to no avail.

"Look, you're just jealous of my rippling abs." Jericho says and crosses his arms.

"PSH, Jericho you're the size of my THIGH." Eden teases.
