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
