"Hey, Underoos," Tony greeted as Peter came into the lab. "How's it going?"
"Eh, not too bad," Peter replied as he got to work helping Tony with more suits. "Are these the SAME suits you've been working on since like, the summer?"
"Yes, but don't judge me," Tony smiled sheepishly. "I have never made anything even remotely similar to these so they are taking longer than expected."
"Really?" Peter's eyes lit up. "What kind?"
"You'll see once they're finished," Tony replied, very vaguely. "Anyway, any holiday plans?"
"Not really," Peter shrugged. "I'm studying for exams this week but then I'm off for winter break. It's just me and Aunt May. I do have plans with MJ and Ned too."
"That's fun," Tony nodded. "Want to come over one of your days off?"
"Wait, really?" Peter looked up in shock.
"Of course, kid," Tony smiled.
"Thanks," Peter smiled back. "Can we do Secret Santa?"
"Good idea," Tony nodded in agreement. "Hey, FRIDAY, call everyone down to the lab."
"On it, Boss," the AI responded.
~A Few Moments Later~
"Hey, Tones, hey, kid," Natasha said as she walked into the lab, sweating from her workout. "What's up?"
"We're going to do Secret Santa and Pete's gonna come over for a Christmas party at some point during his winter break," Tony explained.
"Well, Tony and I are free anytime," Pepper checked her calendar.
"Same," Rhodey added. "Kid, what day works for you?"
"May and I are busy Christmas Day and Eve, and MJ, Ned, and I are doing something the 23rd," Peter thought out loud. "How about the 27th?"
"Sounds good," Tony grinned and turned to write names on scraps of paper. "Alright, everyone, pick a name."
Peter went first and smiled when he saw the name he got. He was then followed by Pepper, Happy, Rhodey, Tony, and Natasha.
"Alright, IronFam, you have a week to get a badass gift," Tony announced. "Of course, mine will be superior but you all can try your best."
"B#tch, please," Pepper playfully punched his arm. "What should we do for dinner? Catering, cooking, or what?"
"Can we do Chinese takeout?" Peter suggested.
"Like Christmas Story?" Happy asked for clarification.
"Yeah!" Peter nodded. "I can bring some of May's awesome cookies."
"Sounds good," Pepper smiled. "I can make some homemade Gingerbread cookies."
"I'll make Russian tea cakes," Nat announced.
"Ooh, what are those?" Peter asked in curiosity.
"They are my Crocs," Nat smirked.
"I understood that reference, BUT what are they actually?" Peter asked.
"Cakes that taste like tea," Nat deadpanned. "That originate in Russia."
"I'm an idiot," Peter mumbled.
"YOU'RE AN IDIOT!" Rhodey yelled, everyone, looking at him weirdly. "What? It's from the Grinch!"
"Dear Lord," Happy smacked his forehead. "Anywho, I'll buy and pick up the Chinese takeout and make homemade hot chocolate."
"bUt iS OvaLtiNe?" Peter asked.
