A/N: To make up for the drama filled stories lately that I would post a somewhat fluffy fic but as I began writing I came to a conclusion: I do not own Nick, CSI or Christmas. Sad but true.

Where To Go?

"Can I come out yet?" Nick hollered from their bedroom, he usually never found anytime to watch TV lately but now that he could he couldn't find a sing thing on.

"No!" his wife hollered back, Katie was out in the dinning room wrapping countless present sand for fear of Nick seeing anyone's gift she forbided him to come out from the bedroom until she'd said so. That had been two hours ago. She looked at the stack of presents that had been done for an hour she just liked torturing him.

"Why not?"

"I'm not done wrapping"

"How many people did you buy for?"

"None of your business"

"But I have to pee" Nick whined

"Then use the bathroom connected to the bedroom" she said as if it was the most logical thing in the world. She tidied the magazines on the coffee table and plopped down rading to watch TV.

"Is that the TV on , are you done?"

"No it's not I'm singing to myself, and no I'm not done stop complaining!"

"I'm thirsty"

"What happened to the water bottles I gave you?" she flicked through the stations coming to rest at one of the programs she'd been recent getting into.

"But I want juice"

"Drink the water it's better for you"

½ hour later

"You lied to me!" Katie jumped she didn't hear him come out

"I just only finished" she swore

"Then why is the show just ending?" Nick crossed his arms over his chest, waiting for her answer

"Just turned it on, last station that was playing" she tried defending herself.

"Mmhmm" Nick pretended to agree not believing that for second

"Baby would you like to watch some TV with me?" Katie tried anything to change the subject

"No I want to ask you something"

"Okay…" her brows furrowing together she didn't think he'd ever asked to ask her a question.

"Who's place are we going to for Christmas?" placing a hand over her heart she sighed

"Jeez I thought you were going to ask me something different. I don't know who's do you want to go to?"

"Well there's your dads, moms or my parents" Nick listed the options, knowing he was in for a long discussion he planted himself on the couch and Katie instantly scooted closer curling up into his side.

"Which one's going to be more sane? That's the question we need to be asking" Nick laughed

"On my side there's seven of us children plus the grandchildren"

"So how many do you figure roughly"

"If we went that would make four children, plus eight to nine grandchildren all depending if Joe has Angela for Christmas" the Joe he was referring to was his youngest sister husband and his daughter from a previous marriage"

"Okay how does your mom act around the holidays?"

"About the same now I guess although this is one of the times she does actually cook and not the cook. What about yours?"

"Well my dad's would be later in the day so my sisters could come over after they've been at mom's. His wife Lily would try to be a trophy wife and I've still have yet to have a meal that something wasn't burnt out of it plus then you have Lily's kids Chris and Jacob their wives and children Jackie always goes to Derek's family's for Christmas. So that would be my two sisters, three children, two step brothers and their four kids and then us in grand total would be 15. Mom's would consist of us, two sisters and three children but mom goes all nuts for the holidays"

"So basically we just flip a coin?" Nick asked

"I know it's going to sound weird but we could pick a random number from one to twenty and whoever guesses the closest we go there" Katie suggested

"I think that's a great idea. Who's first?"

"Flip a coin?" Katie asked

"No rock ,paper, scissors" on the first attempt both got rock then it was Nick who got scissors and Katie paper.

"I guess I'll call mom first get it out of the way. Wait what's our number?"

"How about 14?"

"Okay"

After three phone calls and an hour and a lot of questions answered it was settled they would fly out to Texas to be with Nick's family.

His mother had chosen the number 12.

"Oh by the way I did watch the show and was done an hour before that" Katie told him getting up and away from him before he chased after her into the bedroom.

A/N: I think I'll add another chapter of actual gift exchanges.
