December first brought what felt like frozen air. Adrien's nose was bright pink and his breath turned into steam as he exhaled. It was finally winter in Paris. At 33 years old, the Christmas season never got old for Adrien. Even through the darkest of times; the holidays still brought him plenty of cheer to make all the pain worth it and sure enough it gave him the strength to make it through the next year.

Adrien adjusted the wool scarf around his neck, sheltering the vulnerable skin from the cold.

The weather forecast called for snow that night. With the dark grey clouds blanketing the sky and the nip in the air - the promise of snow was likely. And Adrien was looking forward to it.

He shut the doors to the business he owned with his wife of 6 years and locked it up. It was the end of the day and the night was already setting in. Adrien stuffed his hands into his pockets and began walking home, burrowing his chapped lips into his scarf.

The streets of Paris were already lined with garland and Christmas wreaths. Every tree was decorated with twinkling lights and every business had Christmas display windows or decorations. It made him smile. There was something about the holiday that made everyone happy, that helped everyone to forget about the issues in the world and focus on family and happy times for one month out of the year.

The tram-ride home was quick and painless and before he knew it; Adrien walked up the steps to his suburban-neighborhood home. The curtains were drawn but warm light from the inside illuminated them. Adrien was greeted at the door buy his three children, all varying in age. 5, 3 and 2. Marinette carried the youngest, Henry, on her hip while the other two; Emma and Louis ran to hug their father's legs.

"Welcome home, baby." Marinette smiled, leaning over the kids to gently kiss Adrien. Henry grabbed Adrien's scarf, tugging on it as Marinette pulled away from their kiss. Adrien chuckled, unwrapping the garment from his neck to give to his greedy toddler.

"Daddy, I want up!" Louis whined, pulling at his pant-leg. Adrien smiled, picking up the young boy.

"How are my little kittens doing today?" He asked, glancing from Emma - who was still attached to his leg - and to Louis who hugged him tightly.

"Good!" Emma squeaked, "mommy and I made dinner!" She said proudly. Adrien couldn't help but smile. Dinner sounded amazing.

"Oh? And what's on the menu tonight?" Adrien asked, looking over at his wife.

"Emma and I have prepared a Dupain-Cheng Christmas specialty! Beef-stew, scalloped potatoes and of course, who can forget the pumpkin muffins?" She smiled.

Man. Adrien fell in love with Marinette every single day. "I can smell it from over here! Lets eat, shall we?" Adrien asked. His two oldest kids cheered.

The Agreste family sat at their round table, Henry in his highchair between Adrien and Marinette so that the two could take turns feeding the young toddler soup, potatoes and muffins.

The rest of the young family's evening was spent in front of the flatscreen tv, watching the cartoon version of how the grinch stole Christmas.

Marinette tucked Henry into his crib while Adrien struggled to put his restless 5 and 3 year olds to bed. As soon as he tucked one in and went to the next, they would climb back out and start running down the hallway. Bedtime was always a major struggle in the Agreste household. Adrien and Marinette learned to be quick on their feet and in no time the couple put the kids to sleep and were snuggled up with mugs full of hot chocolate mixed with a caramel bourbon, finishing the second season of Stranger things.
