Becky was moving boxes from the storage closet into the hallway as Dean was sitting in the hallway watching her.

Becky-''Ok. That is all the boxes of decorations. I know that we're only gonna put them up on Christmas Eve, but we need to see if any of the decorations are broken and if all the lights still work.''

Dean-''Alright.''

Becky carried 3 of the boxes into the living room as Dean pushed the last box into the living room with his head.

Becky-''Thanks, buddy.''

Dean-''Anytime.''

Becky checked all the decorations. They were all still ok. All the lights were still working and the star that goes on top of the tree was still as beautiful as ever.

Becky-''Ok. Well, we don't need to replace any decorations.''

Dean wagged his tail.

Becky-''But there is one thing we have to get.''

Dean-''What's that?''

Becky-''A new Christmas Tree.''

Dean-''Really?''

Dean was surprised.

Becky-''I was just thinking that it's time for a new tree. I just hope Ambrose likes it....when he gets back.''

Dean-''I will love it.''

Becky cleared her throat and smiled at Dean.

Becky-''Alright, I guess we can leave these boxes here in the corner for now.''

Becky moved all the boxes to the corner of the living room. Then Becky walked over to the storage room and moved other boxes back onto the shelves as Dean walked in.

Dean glanced down and saw a box on the floor that looked like it was hidden away on the bottom shelf. Dean stepped over and grabbed the box with his mouth.

Becky-''Hey, what do you have there?''

Dean walked into the hallway and put the box on the floor as Becky stepped out and closed the storage closet door. Dean used his nose and lifted the lid of the box up and pushed it off the box.

Becky-''Oh, my goodness.''

Becky sat down cross legged on the floor and Dean sat down across from her as she moved the box closer.

Becky-''When Ambrose & I moved in here, I put this away and forgot about it.''

Dean-''Are those letters?''

Becky-''These are letters that I wrote to Santa as a little girl. My-''

Becky paused.

Becky-''I uh....got them when I was 17 and kept them hidden. No one knows about these except for my family. Even Ambrose and Charlotte don't know about it.''

Dean-''Wow.''

Becky-''They are connected to the reason I love Christmas so much.''

Dean-''Tell me what the reason is.''

Becky quickly closed the box.

Becky-''But I uh....I can't talk about it.''

Becky grabbed the box, stood up, put the box back in the storage closet and locked the door.

Becky-''Ok. What should-''

Becky's phone started ringing. She walked off into the kitchen as Chris appeared next to Dean.
