It was that magical time of year again.
Christmas time that is.
A time of peace, love and giving.
It was also the time of year where parts of the world enjoyed seeing flurries of snow flakes fall to the ground.
Sometimes enough to build snowmen or make snow angels.
That wasn't the case however in southern Ca in the city of Burbank, where it was a mild 87 degrees on Christmas eve.
Though despite the warm tempreture, there was still a feeling of happiness in the air, as people rush about grabbing that last minute gift in that special someone, decorations and lights were placed on lamp and telephone posts in the area, as were the buildings around town,including the local college Cal Tech.
All year round, the institute was busy with teaching classes, or studying new theories.
This day however was the last day before Holiday break, so work was put aside and staff was preparing for the Christmas party that was to be held that day, as well as getting gifts ready for the secret Santa that was to take place during the festivities.
It seems everyone on campus was excited over the jolly holiday season.
That is except for on person.
Dr. Sheldon Cooper.
While everyone was telling one another of their holiday plans and heading off to the party, Sheldon was busy in his office, trying to come up with one experiment after another on his giant white board.

Sheldon was in the middle of jotting something on the board, when he heard a knock at the door.
"Come in, he answered, without looking up.
The door opened and the person who entered was Sheldon's colleague and roommate Dr. Leonard Hofstadter.
"Hey Sheldon," Leonard called out, causing Sheldon to automatically spin around, place his back against his board and said,"You didn't see any new theories."
If there was one thing that annoyed Sheldon about working with dozens of people was he had a fear of someone trying to steal his work.
"Sheldon relax, said Leonard, I'm looking for you to see if you're coming to the Christmas party in the cafeteria."
"Leonard you know how I feel about Christmas, said Sheldon, The...
"I know I know the lights are too blinding, the decorations are accidents waiting to happen, trees can poke an eye out and cause a fire hazard, plus you are not a fan of gift exchanges."
Since living with him for so long, Leonard can memorize Sheldon's many list of dislikes in his sleep, not to mention the thousands of occasions Sheldon had brought up.
"Exactly my point, said Sheldon, Christmas what a load of poppycock."
"Don't you mean bauhumbug."
"No poppycock, a lot better than the famous quote from the famous Charles Dickens tale."
"Well Sheldon, it is Christmas Eve, why not take a break and join us for the party.
Howard and Raj are already there.
And so are Bernadette and Amy."
Engineer Howard Wolowitz, along with Dr. Rajsh or Raj for short worked at the university along with Leonard and Sheldon, while Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler, who just happened to be Sheldon's girlfriend, who worked at another college was at Cal Tech on a 3 month assignment for her department, and Howard's wife Dr. Bernadette Rostenkowski-Howlowitz worked as a chemist for a drug company, but came to visit for the party, plus the fact her husband's car was in the shop and needed a ride home.
"Why can't they come here, there's plenty of room," Sheldon pointed out.
"Sheldon, it's Christmas, nobody is interested in working, said Leonard, Besides everyone else is at the party.
They have music, a gift exchange, plus they have refreshments."
"All alcoholic I take it."
"Not really, they do have your favorite eggnog."
"I do love eggnog, the only good thing about Christmas.
"And those cookies you love."
"The gingerbread and molasses ones."
"They sure do."
"What are we waiting for?"
Sheldon dashed out the door and headed to the party, while Leonard followed behind with a smile on his face as he said," Works every time."

As the two reach the cafeteria, they were greeted by their friends.
Leonard went to take a seat with Raj,Howard,Amy and Bernadette, while Sheldon headed to the refreshment table and grabbed his favorite treats.
"You told him about the eggnog and cookies uh?" Howard asked Leonard.
"I did," Leonard answered.
"You're right, it works all the the time," said Raj.
"Can we please not talk about food so much," asked Bernadette.
"Are you feeling OK?" asked Amy.
"I've been feeling a bit quesy the last few days.
It's no big deal, I might have caught a touch of something from a co-worker."
Just then, Sheldon arrived at the table, with a plate of cookies in one hand and a cup of eggnog in the other.
"Good thing I was able to get some eggnog, before they put in the burbon,"said Sheldon.
"Hey Sheldon, can you please not bring up the subject of f-o-o-d?" asked Howard.
"Is your Mother here?"
"Bernadette isn't feeling too well," said Leonard.
"My apologize Dr. Rostenkowski-Howlowitz."
"That's OK Sheldon, said Bernadette, who was holding her stomach, as she turned to Leonard and asked,"Is Penny coming to the party?"
"She had to work today, but she'll see us tonight," Leonard answered.
Penny, who was Leonard's girlfriend, worked as a server and bartender at the local Cheesecake Factory resturaunt, but has big dreams of becoming an actress and a writer.
But Leonard had plans of his own, which were proposing marriage to Penny on New Year's Eve at the stroke of midnight.
The rest of the gang then help themselves to some of the refreshments at the party, except for Bernadette, who had ginger ale, which Howard had got for her.
As everyone talked, laughed, ate and drank, Sheldon felt a tap on his shoulder, spun around, and was greeted by Amy with a kiss.
Sheldon sqirmmed back and said,"Amy, what was that for?"
Amy pointed to something attached to her forehead and said,"Like my missletoe headband Sheldon?
Now I don't have the hassle of trying to find some."
"Really Amy, is that normal relationship behavior?" asked Sheldon.
As much as she tried, Amy had hoped Sheldon can find room in his heart to be romantic, but not on Christmas.
"I suppose you're right," said Amy with a sigh, removing the headband.
