Decided to do a few Christmas shorts. Dunno how many there will be, only that I will post as I go. The song being played is "Christmas Can Can" by Straight No Chaser, if you want to listen to it as you read. Unbeta'd, just some fun for the season.

Daniel hummed to the Christmas music piping though his car speakers as he drove though the light snowfall. For the first time in years, he was going to enjoy the holiday season, even if it killed him. His back seat was filled with presents and a elf hat, complete with flexible ears, was perched at a jaunty angle on his head.

Soon his humming turned to singing and his fingers tapped out the beat on the steering wheel. Stopped at a light, he started to chair dance as he belted out the lyrics-

"Christmas season, starting sooner every year
It's October, stores with plastic Christmas trees
Ransack the mall, shop until you lose your mind
Spike the eggnog, sit back and watch
Rudolf, Frosty, Tiny Tim, and Scrooge, the Price, or Charlie Brown..."

Feeling his pocket start to vibrate, he looked up to see if the light was still red, turned down the radio and answered.

"Hey Danny, wha'cha doin'?" Came the slick tones of Jack O'Neill. Laughter echoed strangely in the background.

"Driving, why?" He glanced up at the light again, still red.

"Oh, just wondering if your pants were on fire." The laughter became louder.

Daniel's face contorted in confusion, "On fire? No, why would you ask that?"

"Look to your right."

Freezing in his seat, where he had still been dancing slightly to the low music, he slowly turned his head to look out the passenger side window.

There, one car over, sat the rest of SG-1, General Hammond and Janet Fraiser; all of whom were either laughing out right or waving at him.

Groaning, Daniel dropped his head against his steering wheel. He was never going to live this one down.
