Summary: How the Winchesters – and the Impala - usually spend a Christmas. BTW, I gave myself a little Christmas present – this is a 'drabble and a half'.


Red and Green

Through the haze of his drowse, Sam watched the streetlights reflect off the long hood of the Impala in the dark. He observed them, memorized, as the white dots rhythmically slip-streamed down the black paint, towards Sam, then up and over the windshield. He settled back his seat, glancing over to Dean, who had been driving for ten hours. He knew his brother could easily drive ten more, so he let Dean think he was still sleeping. As Sam's eyelids began to droop again, he noticed Dean had taken an early exit off the highway and was slowly driving through a residential neighborhood. Lines of large, elegant homes had been adorned with Christmas decorations, and the red and green of these lights now graced the Impala.

"Merry Christmas," Dean whispered quietly. He slowly swung the car around and with a roar of the engine, entered the highway once again.


Merry Christmas to all!
