Christmas In Storybrooke was always a big deal. It was completely different from the celebrations in the Enchanted forest, the royals would party and the peasants would starve. Not here though, Christmas was about giving, to everybody. Everyone, no matter what status was invited to join the festivities and as much as Regina still found The Charmings insufferable, they were family and family stuck together.
That's why Regina decided to go just a bit crazy this year, because it was the first time her family was together without some threat of death and destruction looming over them.
"Regina!" She heard from the lounge, it was the soft voice of her true love and even something as simple as him saying her name made her heart melt.
She took the cookies out the oven and left them on the cooling rack, before tossing her oven gloves aside and following Robin's voice as it travelled throughout the mansion.
"Yes?" She asked in question. He was standing in front of the Christmas tree (the one her, Roland and Henry had spent hours before decorating) with a quizzical look on his face.
"Why is the Christmas tree purple? Surely they're supposed to be green right?" He tapped his index finger against his chin whilst he continued to wrap his head around the idea of a colorful Christmas tree?
"Because sans black and red purple is my favorite colour and whilst green is typically traditional, this one is fake. It's lasts much longer and doesn't leave those horrible prickles behind." Regina's nose scrunched up in disgust. Her and Henry's first Christmas together was amazing, but after 3 hours of sweeping up those damn prickles that seemed to materialize out of nowhere she decided to purchase a fake one. And that tree had been up ever since, that was her tradition.
"Oh I see. But why are there no lights? Every other tree in town has them." Regina chuckled, Sometimes she had to remind herself he was still fairly new to the devices of the modern world and his childlike glee when she explained them to him made it all worth it.
"Flip the switch." She said simply, taking the order he did just that and Regina could swear his eyes lit up just as brightly as the tree did.
"Regina that's wonderful." He stood in awe watching the lights on the branches flicker in irregular patterns and stared as the light bounced of the crystal decorations hanging from the tree.
"I know." The Brunette said smugly, noticing for the first time that her boys were sitting in the corner of the room, giggling quietly at Robin's reaction.
"So who wants hot chocolate?!" She shouted and the boys screamed with glee. Even Robin got a bit excited.
"Okay. Hot chocolate with cinnamon and whipped cream for you." Regina noted pointing towards Henry.
"Hot chocolate and marshmallows for you." She pointed at Roland who squealed loudly.
"And coffee for you." She pointed at Robin and he had that adorable little pout on his face. A child in a mans body.
"Trust me. You'll need it." Then she strutted out the room to fix the drinks up.

"Oookay." Emma shouted, gaining the attention of the ever growing Charming/Mills family.
"We know our boys can't wait to open there presents so we had a secret Santa draw. Everybody get their gifts out." As everybody was reaching into their bags they heard a huge bang that echoed throughout the whole household.
"What the hell?" Emma screamed and Regina sent her a glare that said "there are children here." Until she realized one of her baby's was absent.
"Where's Roland!?" She shouted in panic and everybody scrambled to check the lounge.
"In here." Roland cried and everybody followed his voice into a very smelly and extremely smoky kitchen.
"What happened?! Are you okay?" Regina scooped the small boy up and held him to her chest, carefully checking for injuries.
"Why were you in here my boy?" Robin jumped in, wrapping an arm around the pair.
"I was hungry and I remember Henry told me to put the hot dogs in the microwave and I didn't wanna make a mess so I put the shiny stuff in too." The boy cried into his Mother's shoulder, obviously shaken up by the whole ordeal.
"Oh baby. You can't put that in the microwave, it can cause a fire." She held the boy to her tighter and waved her hand, replacing the obviously obliterated microwave with a brand new one.
"See? It's all better now." She spoke softly and rocked the young boy in her arms, Henry stood beside his family and stroked Roland's hair soothingly.
"So uhm. Presents?" Emma asked sheepishly because she was truly the biggest child of them all.
Despite the scare the whole family chuckled in unison and made their way back into the lounge.

"My secret Santa is for Henry." Snow said sweetly shifting baby Neal over to her left side, so she could hand him a flat rectangle decorated with snowmen.
Henry tore the wrapping from the present fast and flashed a megawatt smile.
"Look Roland!? It's the new Mario Kart game. Wanna play later?" Despite Roland still feeling a little shaken up he giggled quietly and shouted a loud "yes!" Which made the adults chuckle once again.
"Thank you grandma I love it!" Henry hugged snow tightly and sat back down beside his parents.
"This one is for Gold and Belle, Merry Christmas." David commented, handing him a rather sizable box.
The couple opened the gift carefully and lifted the lid, a small smirk taking place on Gold's face.
"How did you know? It was a girl?" Belle asked, the shock evident in her voice as she picked up the pink baby blanket.
"Snow is very intuitive and we all know she can't keep her mouth shut." A while back Regina would've found herself raging at that comment, but that was the past and she'd let it go. So she found herself laughing along with everybody else and feeling nothing but joy and happiness.
"My secret Santa is hook. Merry Christmas mate." Robin said sarcastically using the Pirates own term of endearment against him.
He handed him an oddly shaped gift, covered with apples. Regina's specialty.
"Brilliant thanks Robin." Emma whined when she saw the ridiculously huge bottle of rum Robin had bought her boyfriend.
"Ah come on love, we can share." Hook said with a wink.
"Not funny." Emma told him sternly, reminding herself there where children.
"This one is for the little lad with the crazy curls." Hook laughed handing Roland a squishy present.
The child couldn't open it fast enough, wrapping paper flew everywhere and when he set his eyes on the ridiculously fluffy minion in front of him he screeched, quite loudly.
"Another stuffie for your collection my boy." Regina rolled her eyes when Robin made that comment because Roland already had a ridiculously huge collection of stuffed animals already.
"Clap your hands." Hook instructed and the boy did so with excitement.
The whole family cheered when the minion began to dance, singing its own little tune in gibberish.
"That's not going to get annoying." Regina grumbled, she knew Roland would be up early Christmas morning with that playing.
"Don't get grumpy Regina. You're my secret Santa." Emma commented with a sly grin and Regina knew she was in for it.
"To the both of you." Hook added, waiting with baited breath for them to open the small square present.
"You're joking." Regina had her evil queen glare on and a perfectly raised eyebrow.
"Condoms Emma really?" Robin asked with annoyance.
"They're ribbed for your pleasure." Hook offered them a wink before realizing they certainly didn't find it funny.
"Now we know they're of no use at the moment, but after that little tyke pops out maybe you could use them? We're already surpassing the Brady bunch." The blonde tried to bring some humor to the situation, after all getting under Regina's skin was always pleasant for her.
Robin's mouth fell open when Emma said that, they'd agreed to tell everybody Christmas Day, but apparently that was down the toilet.
Regina directed her attention to Snow and grumbled "You never could keep a secret." Starting a whole new uproar of laughter and amidst that she found herself snuggling further into Robin, kissing him passionately making the children and some of the adults say "ew" before she turned to bounce the box of condoms of Emma's head.
Most certainly her mother's child. She thought before taking a deep breath and relaxing with her family.
