You don't have to read this chapter! It is a bonus chapter for the sole purpose of a MERRY CHRISTMAS to my viewers! I know there are religions that don't celebrate Christmas. We all have different beliefs. But even if you don't, this season is a time to thank the universe for another year. Hug someone close to you. I love you all! No matter your belief."

"We don't really do much for Christmas here." said Kyoya nonchalantly. He was putting away some files in the filing cabinet set up against his wall.

"What?!" Simone nearly shouted.

Toshi turned around and sighed. "The rest of the Aristocracy around here never have so we never really did." He shrugged. "Why is it so important to you, anyway?" he was staring at her. She never really cared about any holidays since she'd moved in. Except maybe Halloween where she got to go to school in Alois Trancy cosplay without being judged.

"Kyoya Akito Ootori! How could you ask that?" Simone's face was red and she wanted to walk out of that house.

Kyoya sighed again. "It was just a simple question, calm down. It's not a big deal, I'll buy you some presents." He said. Kyoya moved to his bed and plopped down.

"BAH! Bah Humbug! I'm going to talk to Toshi!"

"The Haninozuka's never have so the Morinozuka's never have either." said Toshi. He raised an eyebrow at his best friend's peculiar behavior. She barged into his bathroom while he was shaving and clad in nothing but a towel demanding he tell her what his family did for Christmas.

"What on earth? Gosh, Tosh, I thought you at least would!" shouted Simone.

"Why is spending Christmas with someone so important to you?" he asked. She'd never said she cared about Christmas before.

Simone threw her hands up and turned on her toes. She walked out of his room and slammed the door shut without a word. She passed Takashi in the hall while she was still fuming. "What going o-" she shoved past him with a growl. He raised a brow and turned to watch her leave.

Toshi came up behind him. Takashi just raised an eyebrow. "Something about Christmas." Takashi nodded curiously and watched as Simone slung herself around the corner and ran down the stairs. Her skirt flung up and he could see the ruffling petticoats underneath.

"OH SIMONE THAT DRESS IS SO BEUATIFUL!" shouted Tamaki. He was right. Her dress was red and sleeveless. It was heart-shaped at the top to hide her breasts and very tight around the sternum and v'ed down at her waist. The top was glittered and sequined and sparkled every time she moved. The bottom was a matching red wavy silk with ruffling red petticoats under, went to just over her knees and bounced with every step she took. The seams were all sewn with gold string and the trim at the top of the dress where it cut just under her shoulders was also shimmering gold, along with the seam of the V that started at her waist.

"Thanks." She said quickly. "Do you celebrate Christmas?" she asked him.

"Of course I do! It's a shame none of the other club members do though. Haruhi does but she always visits a shrine, talks with her mother, and spends time with her father. I try not to bother her because it's a family Holiday." said Tamaki as he circled Simone, eyeing her dress and thinking about how nice it would be to see Haruhi in it.

"We need to fix this!"

"Why is this so important to you?" asked Tamaki.

"Because this is my first Christmas without my sister!" she shouted. Tamaki watched her questioningly, daring her to continue. "Ryan as normally there but sometimes he had to go places with our dad, Dad was always gone on a meeting, and mom was too sick to in winters to come near the Holiday Estate in Big Bear. It was always at least Violet and I and she isn't here! Someone has to be and I can't impose on you! Your grandmother hates me!" Simone was panting. And crying. And Shaking. She was a mess.

Tamaki hugged her. Her rubbed her back and sucked in a in a tight breath. "Is there something you want to do?" he asked. He sounded concerned she would do something stupid.

She nodded, a slight smirk gracing her face.

"Well, what is it?" Simone giggled.

"Hey guys, so-um… You guys have never really gotten into the Christmas spirit and this is a pretty hard Christmas for me so… We- Tamaki and I… We, uh, prepared a little piece for you guys." said Simone. She was wearing a dress in the same design as the day before but it had a Christmas Tree green skirt that was coated in glitter. She had white shoes that were round at the toe and covered them completely, a slight 1 centimeter heel and them buckled around her ankle. Tamaki was wearing a White suit with a red and green diagonal striped tie with black shoes. She turned with an excited smile and faced Tamaki, slightly bent forward identically to him.

"1, 2, ah 1, 2, 3, 4." The music for Mercy Me's God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman began to play.

(Italicized means Simone Bold means Tamaki Both means a duet"

"God rest ye, merry gentlemen,

Let nothing you dismay."

"Remember Christ our Savior, was born on Christmas Day." Both began to shake their hips to the beat.

Tamaki turned around and Simone Turned to face her friends, one arm raised and the other holding the mic to her mouth.

"To save us all from Satan's Power-"

Tamaki turned and mirrored Simone's pose.

"When we were gone astray."

"Oh Tidings of comfort and Joy,

Comfort and Joy.

Oooh, Tidings of Comfort and Joy!"

The two dropped their mics and got in a position to dance. They began to do a rendition of the Waltz.

"Joy to the World,

For Christ the Lord has Finally Come!"

"Let every Heart receive,

It's newborn king."

"Oh, Come on,

Let Heaven and Na-Ture

Si-_-ng!"

The emotion and effort and length of the word Sing was amazing. Everyone – even Tamaki – gawked as she shot out the note with a passion that only Christmas could give her. Everyone was now applauding and cheering.

"Tidings of Comfort and JOOO- OOOOY!"

Yet again, Simone delivered a passionate, heartfelt note that sent the audience to their feet.

"JOOOOOOOOOO- OOOY!"

The music stopped and the performers bent their heads as the room went dark. Soon the lights were on again and everyone was still on their feet, applauding them.

"Thanks guys. I know there are religions that don't celebrate Christmas. We all have different beliefs. But even if you don't, this season is a time to thank the universe for another year. Hug someone close to you. I love you all! No matter your belief." The whole room was submerged in joy and everyone seemed to be in a real Christmas-y spirit.

Egg Nog was served and the group spent the rest of the evening talking and laughing and preparing a party for next year.

I love you all! Thank you for a wonderful year and I look forward to finishing this stories. Merry whatever you celebrate and thanks for taking the time to read my story. Please continue to read. It's the best present you could ever give me!
