The next morning, even though it was Thursday, Abby surprised her fellow Ghostbusters by whipping up pancakes.
As Erin took a seat at the table she asked Abby?" How are you feeling this morning?"
Abby, who placed a platter of flapjacks down at the center of the table replied,"For the first time in days, I feel great.
Go ahead you guys dig in."
As the gang ate breakfast, Abby asked if anyone had plans today, if they didn't have to catch ghosts.
Erin said she had to catch up on paperwork, Holtzmann was going to tune-up the packs from last night's adventure, and Patty mentioned she had some errands to run(which was really to by gifts for her fellow Ghostbusters, but didn't want to say it.)
Abby said,"Change of plans."
The other three Ghostbusters looked at one another, as they were not sure what Abby was up to, but whatever it was, they would go along with Abby's plan.

After clearing away the breakfast dishes, the team climbed into Ect-o 1(along with their uniforms and packs at the advise of Abby, just in case they spot some ghosts) and headed off.
After a few minutes of driving, Abby told Holtzmann to pull the car over.
"What's wrong?" asked Erin.
"This is the place," Abby answered.
Everyone got out of the car and looked to see that they were parked in front of the local children's hospital.
"Is everything OK Abby?" asked Patty.
"Of course, we're just here to spread some Christmas cheer, Abby replied, Let's get out gear on."
Erin,Patty and Holtzmann were more than happy to participate in Abby's plan.
"This was a great idea you had Abby," said Patty.
"I can't wait to see the looks on those kids' face," said Erin.
"Let's Rock and Roll," Holtzmann added, as she and the other Ghostbusters entered the building.
The entire staff of admissions, doctors, nurses, voulenteers, and especially the kids were excited when the Ghostbusters made their way through the hospital.
After spending about an hour or two, the Ghostbusters left, but not before the head doctor thanked them for stopping for a visit and how the kids smiles were brighter than any light or decoration used to brighten up their spirits.

After changing out of their uniforms and packs, the Ghostbusters headed to what would be next on Abby's agenda.
The location was an open lot, not too far from the hospital.
"Hey why are we stopping here?" asked Patty.
"Why to get a tree of course," Abby replied, before climbing out of Ecto-1.
Erin,Patty,and Holtzmann once again looked at one another, but got out of the car, and followed Abby, who was looking for the right tree.
Although the lot was limited on trees, as it was almost mid December, the Ghostbusters found the perfect tree for the firehouse.
It wasn't to big, nor too small, and it had lots of pine needles.
The team paid for the tree, then gingerly placed it into the back of Ecto-1.
And the last stop was Target as they couldn't have a tree without decoration.
Abby,Erin and Patty picked out some items for the tree, as did Holtzmann, who also got a few things to celebrate Hanuakkah.

After their outing, the Ghostbusters returned to headquaters and decorated the tree and the firehouse.
As the team, along with Kevin,Patty asked Abby as the two were putting garland around the tree,"By the way Abby, who was the angel?"
"What angel?" Abby asked.
"The angel who came to you before meeting us at Gracie Mansion," Erin, answered as she carefully placed oredements onto the tree, making sure that two red ones aren't in the same spot.
"It was my Dad," Abby answered.
"Your Dad came to?"
"Yes, and he helped me find the Christmas spirit I lost many years ago."
"But I thought you hated Christmas Abby and you're against what we're doing?" asked Kevin, who was untangling a new string of Christmas lights that he already messed up.
"Uh, wake up and smell the cocoa Kevin.
It was Abby's idea to get a tree and decorate the place," Holtzmann pointed out.
"And to visit the kids at the hospital as well," Patty added.
"True, but there is one way for sure," said Kevin.
He disappeared into the kitchen a few moments later came back holding a mug, which he gave to Abby.
Abby looked into the mug and asked,"Kevin, this isn't coffee."
"I know, it's eggnog, said Kevin, Have a taste."
Abby took a sip of the seasonal beverage and her eyes opened why.
"Wow, I haven't drank this in years.
I forgot how great this stuff taste," she said.
"Well, it's official," said Kevin.
"What is?"
"Abby's got the Christmas spirit in her."
"Kevin, Abby had the spirit in her with decorating and visiting the kids at the hospital," said Erin.
"I thought it came back last night saving us at the mayor's party," Holtzmann added, while placing a menorah on work bench.
"Actually, you're all right, said Patty, I mean Christmas cheer and happiness can come from seeing the brightest lights and decorations or even enjoying some eggnog.
And the spirit of holiday giving comes from sharing it with other, like seeing the kids at the hospital.
Plus, not many people know but the heart of Christmas is in all of us all year long with a simple hell-o or even a smile to people we know or a stranger.
So in a way, the Christmas spirit comes in all shapes and forms.
Holtzmann clapped her hands and said,"Bravo Patty.
Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang couldn't even beat that."
The rest of the day was uneventful, which gave Patty the oppertunity to get her Christmas shopping done, as did the rest of the gang, including Abby, who before hand called her Mom telling her she was going to spent Christmas with her family for the first time in years.

With the exception of a few class two the remainder of the week was pretty quiet, making it perfect for the team to get ready for the holidays, as they all had planned to be with their families.
Abby of course spending it with her Mom, step-Dad, his kids and their families, Patti was going to be with her parents, all her siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins, Erin was meeting her family in CT, as her parents now own her grandparents old house to visit them, her Sister, Brother-in-law and their kids, and Holtzmann would be celebrating Hanuakkah with her big crazy Jewish family as she calls them.
