A/N: Okay, so this idea is partly reused from one of my TP Christmasfics, but I figured that I can't NOT give y'all a Christmas/holiday present, since I already did one for Halloween, of all holidays. Anyway, enjoy, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Oh, yeah. Just so you know, I AM aware that there would be no Christmas in Amestris, since Christianity died out a while back. Just bear with me. And this is EdWin, for The Strangest of the StRaNgE. Hope you like it :) !

It was Christmas Day, and, somehow, he found himself waiting outside of her door, his knees jangling nervously. Nothing occupied his hands; they were clasped nervously behind his back. Anxiously, he rang the doorbell, praying that she was awake so early on a holiday.

He stepped back with a squawk moments later, when the door opened, and Winry's head poked out, her hair still tousled from sleep. "Ed?" She whispered sleepily, blinking at him, "What are you doing here?"

He could not look at her face any longer; his heart and mind were swirling with emotions. If he didn't act now, he may not ever get another chance (or summon up the courage, though he won't admit it.) So he stared at his feet, and said softly, "Merry Christmas, Winry," before stretching across the distance between them and brushing his lips softly against her cheek. Then, his face flushed and red, he fled back down the road.

Winry only half watched him go. Her hand had fluttered up to the place where his lips had touched her skin, and she couldn't help but think that it was the best Christmas gift she had ever received.
