Disclaimer: Nothing belongs to me...

Christmas time spun around quickly this year and the JAG family decided to start their own end-of-year tradition, ala Ally McBeal. All had congregated at McMurphy's Bar to celebrate the season in song. It had been a very busy and stressful year and they all needed to unwind and relax, Mac more than most.

She had spent the best part of the year away from home on various assignments. She was feeling tired and disconnected. She had also felt lonely for a great deal of the time, despite the fact that she knew Harm wanted her, nothing had eventuated. Mac had been so tardy in writing her Christmas cards that they were still sitting in an unopened box on her kitchen bench, now, on Christmas Eve.

In an effort to nurture her own Christmas Spirit and to just have some plain old fun, she wrote her song title on the slip of paper provided by the DJ and sat back and planned her actions. She looked around the table, Bud and Harriet, The Admiral, Tiner, Gunny, Sturgis, Manetti and of course, Harm. Longingly she looked at Harm. What did it take ? She thought to herself.

During Tiner's rendition of Jingle Bell Rock, Mac slipped away to change. When her name was called her friends looked around for her and were surprised to see her come to the stage wearing a very short, red sequined mini-skirt, with a white fur trim and a matching, quite revealing top. All eyes were on her before she even picked up the microphone.

In a sweet, little girl voice, she began quietly,
Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree, for me
I've been an awful good girl
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Slowly, Mac made her way off the stage and down the two steps towards her table.
Santa baby, an outer space convertible too, light blue

I'll wait up for you dear

She ran her fingers through the Gunny's hair
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

She ran her hand over his chest. Then quickly she spun around to be facing Harm.

Think of all the fun I've missed

She gazed into his eyes.
Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed

She shook her finger at him.
Next year I could be oh so good
If you'd check off my Christmas list

She drew a huge tick across his chest.
Boo doo bee doo

Mac turned to Admiral, he was already feeling very uncomfortable.
Santa honey, I wanna yacht and really that's
Not a lot

She caressed his face
I've been an angel all year

And then ran her hand across his head.
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

She turned and made her way to Tiner.

Santa cutie, there's one thing I really do need, the deed

Mac sat on his lap and Tiner turned as red as her outfit, he didn't know which way to look. He had always had this fantasy but it was never in front of everyone else.
To a platinum mine
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight

She kissed his cheek and then danced away to Sturgis.

Santa baby, fill my stocking with a duplex, and checks

Mac stood behind Sturgis, leant on him and draped her arm over his shoulder.
Sign your 'X' on the line

She lazily traced the 'x' on his chest and then moved onto Bud.
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Come and trim my Christmas tree

She took Bud's hand and made him stand. He was mortified but Harriet thought it was great fun.
With some decorations bought at Tiffany's

With imaginary tinsel she pretended to decorate him.
I really do believe in you
Let's see if you believe in me

She stood in front of him and gave him a quick kiss. Bud wanted the floor to open up and swallow him.
Boo doo bee doo

Mac moved towards the stage before quickly turning to face her very surprised male colleagues. She walked directly to Harm.

Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing, a ring
I don't mean a phone
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

She ran her hand through his hair.

Hurry down the chimney tonight

Then slowly down his chest
Hurry down the chimney tonight

And up again.

Mac then cupped his chin in her hand and kissed him passionately before walking back to the stage to the cheers and whistles of all those present. She received a standing ovation from many of the men at adjoining tables but no one from her table was willing to stand. She placed the microphone into its stand, turned and waved at the enthusiastic audience, blew them a kiss and disappeared into the night.

Merry Christmas
