A/N: I've been sooo dead to FF and everything else, basically. I wanted to write, but haven't been able to. New work load and all. This was supposed to be up for Christmas, but the holiday season wasn't any easier.
So, happy belated Christmas everybody! Hope yours was cheerier than Dean's.

• BLUE CHRISTMAS •
Settled in the living room after a homey breakfast, Dean sank onto his usual spot on the couch, a cold Clam Lake beer in hand. Lisa sat in the opposite seat, closest to the tree, keeping an eye on Dean as much as her son.
Ben snatched up the red and green gift first, regarding it curiously.
"What is it?"
"Why don't you quit shaking it and open it already?"
He made fast work of destroying the checkered wrapping paper. The box, and then the cardboard packaging followed in quick succession, revealing a walkman and a small collection of forgotten mixtapes.
"Cool!"
"Thanks, Dean. A lot...," Sam smiled.
"No problem."
"I love it."
Ben immediately snapped in the batteries and fitted in a cassette, nodding to classic Metallica as he opened his remaining gifts.
"How'd you know?"
"Your head would hit the window anytime we drove by."
Lisa joined Dean on the sofa.
"Thank you. You didn't need to get us anything, you know."
"I know... I wanted to."
She smiled. "It means a lot that you're trying."
The remote-controlled car whirred to life and skirted around Dean's feet.
"It's an awesome present, Dean."
"I had to make up for last year's, right?"
Lisa planted a kiss on his cheek and he pulled her closer, her head nestling comfortably in the crook of his shoulder.
"Merry Christmas, Dean."
"Merry Christmas..."
"...Sammy."
