Dec. 23

Since Carly had such a difficult time finding Spencer a gift at the mall, she had decided that she would personally make his present. She compiled different items into a collage, all of which had significant meaning. Aside from many digital photographs taken, there were several items included as homage to Spencer's many art endeavors. There was a SkyBucks coffee cup with little dolls inside it paying tribute to Spencer's giant coffee cup, several magnets of the letter "A" for Spencer's Giant "A" he made for Carly getting straight A's, Scrabble tiles that spelled out "PeE ON CaRL" in reference to the infamous sign Spencer made that cause major traffic jams in downtown Seattle, and several golf balls from the short-lived mini golf course that occupied their apartment. Carly also included notable photographs from Tom Higgenson, whose life Spencer saved, a picture with Sasha Striker, after defeating her to become Pak-Rat champion, as well as a picture of him, Carly, Sam, and Freddie after breaking the world record for most moving parts in a sculpture. Carly took a step back and looked at her collage and smiled. It was a work of art that would make Spencer proud. She covered her collage with a blanket since wrapping it would be too hard and cumbersome. Walking down the stairs from the studio, Carly could hear Spencer on the phone.

"…you'll be here tomorrow night? Six 'o' clock? That's great, that means you'll get to spend Christmas Eve with us. Alright I'll see you tomorrow," Spencer hung up and turned to Carly. "Granddad's driving down from Yakima to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas day with us."

"Did his present come in yet?" Carly had asked. They both chipped in and ordered a DVD box set of "World's Most Extreme Car Chases." For some reason Granddad had a strange fascination with anything extreme, has he already owned "World's Most Extreme Death Sports" and "World's Most Extreme Death Sports II."

"Yeah, it just came in earlier today," Spencer pointed out the wrapped package on the coffee table. After looking at all the presents under the nearly overcooked metal Christmas tree, Carly still needed one more gift to give and time was nearly running out.
