A Very Glee Christmas

So it's Christmas Season, and it's a little sad because Jesse isn't here and my Dad moved to New York so this Christmas is just my Mom and I. The first Christmas in almost 4 years without Jesse.

So for Christmas the glee club decided to decorate the choir room all together before Christmas break. And it's a little weird for me to not be wearing my Cheerios uniform since my doctors told me to take it easy because I took it to far at sectionals, so I have to wear normal clothes even though I'm still head Cheerio.

"This was nice" I say to Mercedes as we finish decorating the tree.

"Hey, guys. What's this?" Mr. Schue asks when he got to the room.

"Oh, we're trying to get into the Christmas spirit Mr. Schue. Christmas it totally my favorite holiday. And check out this awesome tree, I found it at the side of the road. It must have fallen from some guy's car" Finn says.

"And the ornaments?" Mr. Schue asks

"They guys who lives next door finally killed his mother, when the police took him they left the door of their house wide open, so. I think she was a holiday hoarder" Santana says.

"Mm... and the presents?"

"I lifted them for a display at the mall, but don't worry they're empty" Puck says making me look at him.

"What?" I ask confuse.

"Guys I appreciate the effort, but this isn't what Christmas is supposed to be like" Mr. Schue says.

"For us it is" Mercedes says. "This tree is like a mascot for Glee Club. We won Sectionals two years in a row and according to everyone at the school we still suck"

"No, no. I'm not gonna let you guys throw yourselves a pity party. Look I'm the first one to say that things haven't turn out how I would've like this year. But Christmas is all about being grateful for the thing that did" Mr. Schue says.

"Though that was thanksgiving" Puck says looking confuse.

"And this year Glee Club is gonna lend a hand to the McKinney-Vento Homeless Children program right here in Lima"

"How are we going to that?" I ask confuse.

"The only way we know how: by singing about it! We're gonna go classroom to classroom, caroling to raise money for McKinney-Vento" Mr. Schue says making us look at him like he lost his mind.

"Wait, classrooms in this school with, like students in them?" Tina asks.

"Well, if there are no students in them there would be nobody to put money in the collection box while we sing" Mr. Schue says smiling.

"We're going to be killed" Quinn says.

"No guys, is Christmas, is time for miracles. We gotta try this" Finn says.

"This is suicide" I whisper to Mercedes.

"Totally" she whispers back.

"Finn's right. So let's start rehearsing. This year Glee Club is going full Santa" Mr. Schue says while holding his little Christmas tree.
