"You know, I really like this tradition of everyone staying here Christmas Eve" Dawn said as she hugged Willow. "And this year, there's even an extra room. Provided Faith and I are staying in my old one."
"I don't see any reason why not. I was thinking Vi and Amanda could use my old one." Willow said. "Giles and Xander can fight over the couch."
"There will be no fighting, Giles gets the couch." Xander said as he entered behind Faith and Dawn.
"That's nice of you." Buffy said as she joined the crowd.
"I'm still relatively young, I can rough it on the floor for a night." Xander replied with a shrug.
"Get enough egg nog in you, you won't care where you sleep." Faith joked.
"That's true. So, when we doing today's gift?" he asked as he headed for the living room.
"As soon as Giles, Vi and Amanda get here." Faith said as the others followed him. As soon as they got there, the doorbell rang.
"I'll go get it." Buffy said, returning shortly with the three in tow as Willow went after Dawn's gift.
"Wow, pretty big, this a repeat of last year when I put a rock in the box?" she asked as she looked it over.
"Would I do something like that?" Faith asked in an innocent tone.
"Of course you would, it's one of the reasons I love you." Dawn replied, kissing Faith on the cheek before tearing into the gift. "A Wii! Finally! But how's it tie in to day eleven?"
"This is how." Buffy said as she pulled out a copy of New Super Mario Brothers.
"Mario and Luigi are plumbers" Faith pointed out. "And you better believe we're getting the third one on the virtual console."
