christmas. the one day a year that everyone was happy, everyone was with the people they love, everyone got what they wanted.

christmas for me and luke growing up was just another terrible day. we never got anything and the one person we loved most was never there, and she never would be.

but after the years luke has put in so much effort to make this a good day for me, us. and i appreciated it.

i crawled out of bed, brushed my hair and my teeth, and walked downstairs. i made myself coffee and sat on the couch, phone in hand.

clara: wake up
clara: wake up
clara: waKe tHe fuCK uP
clara: luke
clara: lucas
clara: WAKE UP

luke: jesus im up ok im up

clara: come down and watch movies with meeee

luke: im coming

me and luke's christmas tradition is that we'd exchange gifts, eat cookies, and watch christmas movies all day.

luke walked down the stairs and sat on the spot next to me.

"what movie are we watching first?" he asked.

"rudolph, duh." i said as if it were obvious.

"we always watch rudolph first, though." he whined.

"i know, that's why i included the duh, now turn it on." i sassed.

"fine." he huffed and gave in. he went over to the shelf that held every single movie and looked for the christmas ones, pulling rudolph out. "we're watching a christmas story next."

"i hate that movie." i said.

"well i hate rudolph." he replied.

"well i hate you." i shot, and his face fell. "i'm kidding, i'm kidding." i said and laughed, but he looked unamused. "i promise." i assured, and he smiled.

"okay, i'm going to get the cookies. you can start it, i'll be back." he said and disappeared into the other room. i pressed play on the movie and within minutes he was back, and we were spending our day watching movies and eating cookies.

-----
2 movies and a whole box of cookies later, and there was a ding from my phone. i picked it up and unlocked it, seeing a snapchat notification.
