Calvin was surprised after all the events that happened. He just knew Emma's family for... a day? But he could feel already the warm spirit they had. How? Their faces shouted that, in a good kind of way he supposed. That's why he had to leave soon, he just couldn't stay there. That was the plan, he would thank them for them hospitality and then he would go.
But this is the Dally's family we're talking about, no one can escape easily from them.

"Good morning Mrs. Dalley."
"Hi Calvin, guess you've already met Hazel, Isabella and James?"
"Yes, sweet kids."
"Aren't they?"
"Of course."
"Don't lie bro."
"Why would he lie bro?
"Could you stop it?
"Too late."
"Mrs. Dalley, I thank you for your hospitality, but I think it's time for me to go."
"You wanna go, bro?"
"Are you sure?"
"Why?"
"Calvin, are you sure?"
"Ehh."
"It may take some time for finding a hotel in this part of the year. You can stay here as long as you want."
"Are you sure?"
"Totally son."
"Thanks."
"Then it's decided, Calvin will stay for some more time."
"Maybe you can join us in our Christmas celebrations!"
"That would be awesome!"
"I'm not that fan of Christmas."
"Why?"
"Didn't Santa bring you the thing you wished the most when you were little?"
"Maybe, but I just don't believe in it."
"You just made the biggest mistake of your life."
"Huh?"
"The creepy woman says that once a year the craziest spirit appears in the Christmas day, and makes all non-believers, believe for the first time in their whole lives."
"So?"
"Emma happens to be the crazy spirit."
"Oh."
"So Calvin, when do we start?"
***
"Do you stop believing in the moon because the sun came up?"
