Ginny hummed to the tune of "We Wish you a Merry Christmas" as she placed tinsel on the Christmas Tree as James and Lily ran around the living room, more interested in annoying each other than decorating the tree.

Albus placed an ornament on the back of the tree as James threw some ribbon on Lily, causing her to let out a shriek of laughter.

"What's going on in here?" Harry asked with a grin as he brought in another box of Christmas decorations.

"I'm helping mom hang some decorations while James and Lily are goofing off." Albus told Harry.

"Tattle-tale." James muttered with a glare.

"Well, it's true." Albus declared.

Ginny laughed and shook her head.

"That's enough you two." Harry said with a shake of his head.

Lily walked over to Albus and bent down to grab an ornament, she walked over to the Christmas Tree and found an empty spot to place it on.

"So what do you guys want to have for dinner?" Ginny asked, placing a candy cane on the tree.

"Pizza!" Lily cried.

"We had pizza yesterday." Ginny replied.

"How about chicken? That sounds good." Harry said.

"We do have chicken thawed out, wouldn't take very long to make." Ginny agreed.

"I'll start dinner once we get this tree decorated. Here." Ginny said handing Harry an ornament.

"Alright." Harry replied with a grin as he took the ornament

"What do you guys want with the chicken?" Ginny asked as she bent down to see what decorations were in the box, she found a snow globe and placed it on the coffee table, a smile on her face.

"Green beans sound good, oh by the way your mother used the Floo network to contact us, she wanted to know if we were busy this weekend. She wanted the kids over to make Christmas cookies." Harry said.

"Oh, that's right. I had completely forgotten about that. We don't have anything going on, this weekend will be fine. I'll write a message for her tonight to let her know." Ginny replied.

"Yes, grandma and grandpa's house! I love it there!" Lily said, jumping up and down.

"Is Fred coming over?" James asked Harry.

"Yup, all of the kids are going over." Harry told him, causing him to grin.

"You think we can have a sleepover at grandma and grandpa's house?" James asked.

"Oh mom would love that." Ginny said.

"If it's fine with them, then it'll be fine with us. We'll have to ask them. We'll do that when we write to them tonight." Harry replied.

"Yes!" James said, pumping his fist in the air and causing Harry and Ginny to laugh.

"You're such a dork." Lily told him, causing him to glare.

"No I'm not!" He replied.

"Yes you are." Albus shot back.

"Am not!" James muttered.

"Whatever you say James." Lily replied with a roll of her eyes.

"Who wants to help me with dinner?" Ginny asked.

"I will!" Albus replied with a grin.

"Me too." Lily said.

"Alright great, we can work on the tree some more after dinner, or if you two want to work on it as we cook, that's fine as well." Ginny said turning to Harry and Albus.

"We can work on it, no problem. How about it Al?" Harry asked Albus.

"Sure dad." Albus replied with a smile.

"Alright that's great. You two work on the tree and we'll get dinner ready. Come on you guys." Ginny said.

"Race you." James told Lily.

"It's on!" Lily replied.

"No racing in the hou-" Ginny was caught off as the two of them ran out of the living room.

Ginny rolled her eyes and looked at Harry.

Harry shrugged his shoulders and laughed causing Ginny to grin.

Ginny walked out of the living room and into the kitchen, ready to make dinner.
