This year for Christmas, Shawns family and my own were spending the Christmas holidays together at the Mendes household.
From top to bottom, inside and out, the house was littered with Christmas lights and decorations and the traditional tall tree was in the living area, decorated to the max.
"I can't believe both our families are spending Christmas together for the first time." Shawn and I had escaped the chaos downstairs for a while, sitting beside each other in his bedroom.
"I'm surprised at how well they get on." I admitted, knowing that sometimes families just act nice around each other at brief meetings and turn sour when they spend full days together and the true personalities come out. "I thought there would maybe be one or two disagreements but there hasn't been any. It's amazing."
"It's like they just click." Shawn agreed. "At least we don't have to worry about them not liking each other anymore."
"Thats true." We cuddled up to each other, enjoying the short amount of time we had peace and quiet. He looked so cute in his own little Christmas sweater and beanie; lounge clothes were always my favourite on Shawn.

"Guys," Aaliyah knocked on Shawns bedroom door before entering. "Everyone's getting ready for dinner so you have to come down now."
"Five minutes." Shawn mumbled into my neck then letting out a yawn. Waking up early on Christmas Day seems like a good idea until you've been awake for a few hours and all your energy starts to drain. Aaliyah just rolled her eyes at her brother and closed the door behind her as she left.
"Shawn we gotta go down." I whispered to him, running one hand through his hair and the other up and down his back.
"No." He whined, cuddling closed into my side. "I'm hungry but I don't want to move; I'm too comfortable and tired."
"We can come sleep once we've had food." I challengingly released myself from his grip, taking his hands in mine and attempting to pull him up from the bed. He literally would not budge at all. "Shawn come on."
"Why eat Christmas dinner when I can just eat you?" He looked up at me with a cheeky grin plastered onto his face and I couldn't help the pink tint that appeared on my cheeks.
"Shawn!" I stopped pulling at him and loosened my grip on his hands but still kept them in mine. "Maybe after dinner.; if you're nice."
"Baby I'm always nice." He stood up from the bed and we both walked down and into the dining room, joining everyone at the table to eat.

We chit chatted through out the dinner and dessert and once everyone was finished we all gathered together in the living area to watch Christmas movies the rest of the night.
Shawn and I had managed to sneak upstairs after the third movie, changing into sleeping clothes and hopping into bed.
This Christmas had been the best Christmas I've ever had, thanks to my boyfriend and our families.
