Warnings: Fluff, maybe some language.

It was snowing in New York. The perfect weather for cozy drinks, Christmas shopping, and walking around the Town Square.
You sat up in your bed, Bucky's arms still around your waist, as he slept peacefully.
"Bucky?" You whispered, slowly shaking him.
He grumbled, nuzzling into your hipbone.
"It's Christmas Eve," You said. "We gotta finish getting things for the team."
His eyes shot open.
"Christmas?" He said.
You giggled.
"Did you forget?" You asked.
"I didn't forget," Bucky said. "I just forgot."
You laughed, and Bucky smiled.
You both got out of bed, and you took a shower, using your Winter Candy Apple body wash.
You used a cinnamon hair shampoo and conditioner, before drying yourself with a fluffy white towel.

You changed into your outfit, before pulling Bucky out of the room.
You guys walked downstairs, where everyone was eating cinnamon rolls for breakfast.
Everyone was wearing a warm outfit.
"Hey squirt," Tony said, ruffling your hair, and handing you and Bucky a plate of a roll.
You both sat down with the team.
"So the plan for today is going downtown and getting last minute gifts or whatever, make sure everything is ready for dinner tomorrow, and then get dinner and walk round the Christmas tree," Tony said.
"Sounds great," You said, taking a bite of your roll.
When everyone was done with breakfast, everyone split up.
Girls and boys.
You quickly pecked Bucky's lips, smiling at him before getting in the car with Natasha and Wanda.
"WHOO!" Natasha said. "I'm going to use all of Tony's money."
"For Christmas presents?!" You said, starting to laugh.
"Duh," Natasha said, pulling out of the driveway. "Gotta spoil the team!"
You and Wanda looked at each other, before starting to laugh.
You guys pulled up to the mall, parking your car, before getting out and going into the mall.
The mall was packed with shoppers, and you, Natasha, and Wanda, all grabbed hands, before pulling each other into different shops.
"Hey, I'm gonna head over to the store over there," You said, nodding your head at a men's sweater store. "Get something for Buck."
The girls nodded, and you headed over to the store.
It was a good feeling.
Christmas trees put up everywhere, "I'll Be Home For Christmas" on the speakers, and little kids running around, chasing each other, smiles on their faces.
You made it to the sweater store, and you stepped inside.
There was a "Custom Your Own" section, where a man with curly brown hair sat.
He was helping a customer, and you asked around the small store.
The customers left, and you walked up to the station.
"Hi," You said.
"Hey," The man said. "How can I help you?"
"Can I get a brown sweater and put the words 'Barnes' on it?" You asked.
"Sure thing," The man said.
He disappeared into the back, and came out with different sizes.
You picked Bucky's size, and watched as the man sewed the words "Barnes", on the left side of his sweater.
You paid, and went into a men's jewelry store.
You bought Bucky a ring that had the forever symbol, and a silver necklace.
You met back up with Natasha and Wanda, who's arms were filled with shopping bags.
"Let's go meet the boys downtown," Natasha said. "They're already at the Christmas tree."
You nodded, and made your way back to your guy's car.
You loaded the car with your bags, before driving downtown.
You found a place to park, before making your way to the Christmas tree.
It was still snowing, but it was a comfortable temperature.
Bucky was looking in all directions, and when he saw you, his face lit up.
You walked quickly to him, and once you got to him, he wrapped his arms around you.
He nuzzled into your snowflake hair, grumbling.
"I was only gone for about an hour," You said.
"Too long!" Bucky complained, and you smiled at him, pecking his lips.
You laced your fingers with his, and everyone walked around, Christmas music playing, while the snow was falling.
After 10 minutes of walking, the sun started to set.
Tony led everyone to the restaurant, and everyone sat down.
It was a tasty steak restaurant, and you were excited.
You held Bucky's hand under the table, and rested your head on his shoulder.
Tony paid, and everyone left.
You guys made your way back to the Compound, that was covered with snow.
It was toasty warm inside, and you ran to the kitchen, pouring yourself a mug of Apple Cider, heating it up, while bringing your gifts to your room.
Bucky hesitantly agreed to stay in his room tonight, and you brought your cup of apple cider to your room, before wrapping gifts up.
When you were done, you headed downstairs, snuggling up to Bucky on the couch with the team, as the snow fell and the movie Home Alone played.
