"Oh no," Alice laughed lightheartedly as the walls of the gingerbread house began sliding apart. Hatter was desperately trying to keep them together but they collapsed for the second time.

"This is impossible," Hatter chuckled, icing covering his fingers.

"I don't remember this being so hard," Alice commented with a shake of her head. "Okay, keep holding the walls together and I'll try to get the roof on. We may have to hold it together until the icing dries but it's the only way it'll work." Hatter nodded and they quickly went to work. It finally stayed together after holding the pieces for five minutes. They moved on to decorating it with the icing, which they got absolutely everywhere.

"This is quite possibly the messiest thing I've ever done," Hatter remarked with a smile.

"But it is fun," Alice replied. Hatter looked up at her and started to laugh. "What? What is it?"

"You've got icing on your nose," Hatter responded. Alice laughed with him and he wiped the icing away with his finger and licked it off. "Mmm, tasty." Rolling her eyes, Alice grabbed the gumdrops and peppermints they would be decorating the gingerbread house with. They began placing them on the house, fingers sticky with white icing.

"Finally finished," Alice exclaimed.

"It looks nice, yea," Hatter remarked.

"It looks very nice," Alice replied. Christmas music was still playing through the radio and a familiar tune began. Hatter helped Alice clean up. She was singing along with the song, eventually stopping Hatter from what he was doing to put her arms around him. "I just want you here tonight, holding onto me so tight. What more can I do? Baby, all I want for Christmas is you," Alice serenaded him with a bright smile. She placed a soft kiss on his lips before twirling away to clean up some more.

"You're beautiful, love," Hatter whispered in her ear before kissing her cheek. He dragged her away from the counter and twirled her around. She came back to him, placing her left hand on his shoulder and connecting her right hand with his left. He placed his right hand on her waist and they danced together until the song was finished.

"Thanks for the dance," Alice giggled. "You're pretty light on your feet."

"As are you," Hatter smiled.

"Mom always told me those dance lessons I took as a little girl would pay off," Alice laughed. Hatter gave her a dimpled grin before they went back to the task at hand: cleaning up their mess.


Author's Note: I absolutely loved writing this one! It may seem a bit OOC for Alice but I just really loved it lol! Thank you so much for your kind review, Midnight. It really made my week! :) (I don't own the amazing song that is All I Want For Christmas Is You)
