"You want the moon?"  A black and white film handsome young man asked a girl a little younger than him, "Just say the word and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down."

Issac grabbed the remote from off the table, clicking it to switch to a different movie. Elsa grunted not too happy with what he'd just done. Having taken a break from putting up Christmas lights in her room. 

To her utter most surprise though was when a few years ago she learned how much Issac liked Christmas. Even though, he didn't seem like the type to wear an ugly Christmas sweater. But there he was wearing an ugly Christmas sweater of the old movie, Home Alone.

"We don't watch that movie until December 24th!" Issac told her, seeing another black and white Christmas film. Most likely Miracle on 34th Street.

"I forgot about the whole Merlin's family traditions on Christmas," Elsa muttered, sitting up a bit. Fake pouting as she remembered not to watch It's A Wonderful Life until Christmas Eve with anybody or even start watching the old film.

The whole room was decked out with anything you could imagine was put up for Christmas. A large tree by the living room and the dining room, glittering in the light. All sorts of ornaments placed onto the tree.

Funny thing was that a few were not even just traditional red and white ornaments. There were characters form shows and movies across the limbs of the tree. A wooden ornament of Audrey Hepburn, two ornaments that were based on Alejandro's favorite Ghibli films, and her ornament of Skeletor from He-Man. 

It had been Mason's idea ever since they got back from the war to make this section of the building theirs. To his surprise, Callius had been able to get Marcus to agree. Now that Lyris and Issac could live a few rooms away as did Mason and his wife, Marcia.

"Two hot chocolates with a peppermint stick!" Lyris's cheery voice came from behind them. Carefully, handing them hot cups of freshly made hot chocolate. If wasn't much of a surprise that Lyris was decked out as well.

She'd been the one straight away after Thanksgiving was done to start hanging up lights and decorating anything she could. While most of the other were still recovering, but helped not too long after. Besides, you can't just make one person do all the work.

"Thanks!" Elsa smiled.

"Smells good!" Issac smiled, putting his arm around Lyris's waist.

"Can you do an impression of Marilyn Monroe?" Cauis asked Katherine, who had been trying to bake up a batch of gingerbread.

It was a surprise this year that they had someone who could actually bake. Replicated cookies of gingerbread and all sorts of cookies were now last years news. They had Katherine making gingerbread and chocolate covered orange cookies for their Christmas this year.

Maybe even a better Christmas meal this year instead of replicated food. Alejandro's mother had already volunteered with cooking some meat and other dishes. So they could already have a well prepared meal since some of them don't know how to cook.
