Author's Note: I wanted to do some fluffy Christmas stories. I give you four oneshots with Christmas song titles for chapters that include my favorite CSI:NY pairings.

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters of CSI:NY; they belong to Anthony E. Zuiker and CBS.

Chapter One: Danny and Lindsay

"It's lopsided," Lindsay couldn't resist pointing out. She grinned over at Danny. "Your Christmas tree is lopsided."

Danny stepped back and examined the tree. Now that he was looking at it...yeah, it did seem a little bit like the star was leaning to the left a little, and one Christmas ornament at the bottom was threatening to fall onto Danny's hardwood. "Don't think it's the tree. I think it's my floor." He grinned at her. "Do all the trees in Montana stand straight up and down, Montana?"

Lindsay hugged her knees as she leaned into the couch. "Yeah, actually, they do."

"Uh huh, right. Sure they do." Danny plugged in the tree and stepped back. "Not bad, right?"

Lindsay had to admit, for Danny, it was pretty good. "It looks really good," she replied. She rested her head on her knees. Danny came to sit next to her and pulled her into his arms. "If I close my eyes, it's almost like being back in Montana," she said wistfully.

"You missin' the country, Montana?" Danny asked her, running his fingers through her hair.

"There's no place I'd rather be right now than right here, in this apartment, on this couch, with you," Lindsay replied truthfully. "It's just hard because I'm not quite used to being away from the family for Christmas," she said.

"Well, not to get all sentimental or anythin'," Danny replied, "but I'm glad you're here in New York this year. Because there is no place tonight I would rather be than in this apartment, on this couch, in your arms."

"I didn't mean to sounds ungrateful," Lindsay replied.

"I understand where you're comin' from, Montana," Danny said. "Don't worry about it. Maybe next year, the two o' us will be in Montana for the holidays."

"That would be a sight," Lindsay replied. "You, my dad, and my older brother. Oh, geez. I can picture it now: you three going out into the preserve to get a tree, you getting full of snow, my brother laughing at you..."

"Sounds like fun," Danny replied dismissively. He tilted her head so she was looking up at him. "So, Montana," he began. "What can I do to make this Christmas perfect for you?"

"For starters," Lindsay said with a grin, "You could make the snow completely white and three feet deep instead of little brown puddles."

He laughed and kissed her on the forehead. "How about something within my earthly powers?" He sat up, forcing Lindsay to sit upright. "I have an idea. Hold on a sec." He got up, leaving Lindsay alone on the couch, and padded his way over to the Christmas tree. He cleared a spot underneath it. "Montana, toss me that pillow."

Lindsay chucked it at him, clocking him in the face, setting his glasses askew. "Cute Montana." He tucked it under the tree. "Okay," he said, sliding himself under the tree, resting his head on the pillow under the tree. "Come here."

Lindsay climbed off the couch and knelt down in front of the tree. "What are you doing?" she asked him with a smile.

"Just get down here. I'm giving you your Christmas present. Well, part of it," he grinned lopsidedly, kind of like the tree.

Lindsay slid down underneath the tree next to him. She rested her head next to him. All she could hear was Danny's slow breathing next to her, and all she could see now was the green evergreen branches and the colored lights. She closed her eyes.

Danny's lips met hers, and for a while, Danny was all Lindsay was aware of. When the two of them finally came up for a breath, Danny's voice whispered in her ear, "I just got what I wanted for Christmas."

Lindsay closed her eyes and kissed him again. All thoughts of being home in Montana left her mind.

Right now, under the tree with Danny, was the only place she wanted to be.
