A/N: It's Christmas so it's time for a Bonesology Christmas challenge. I am going to be doing the first prompt. Challenge runs from December 1st to January 5th.

Challenge 1* - Prompts based on the letters in 'MERRY CHRISTMAS'. The entries can be of any length, but each should be a separate chapter.

These might be drabbles to long chapters. All will take place within the 12 seasons of Bones unless otherwise noted…The first prompt is Mittens…

A measurable snow had finally fallen in D.C. and Booth was getting two year old Christine bundled up to go outside and experience snow for the first time.

"Booth, I don't see why you're taking her outside in the snow. She's too little to know what it is let alone know that you're supposed to play in it and build a snowperson…"

"Snowman, Bones. I don't care if the correct term is 'snowperson', to me it will always be snowman…" Booth put bright pink mittens on Christine's tiny hands.

"She's going to get cold then get sick…"

"She's not going to get cold, Bones. I put a sweatshirt and sweatpants under her snowsuit. She has thick socks with her boots. Plus her hat and hood. We won't be out long. If she gets sick I'll take care of her." Booth picked Christine up and headed for the door Brennan followed. Booth carried Christine to the backyard and stood her on her feet, she plopped down and started putting her hand in the snow. After a few minutes Christine wiggled her hands out of her mittens and picked up a handful of snow

"Christine, you need to keep your mittens on…" Brennan started to walk to her and put the mittens on her hands again. Before Brennan could walk back to Booth Christine wiggled out of her mittens and grabbed another handful of snow. "Christine Angela!" Christine giggled.

"Bones, she's okay, she's just seeing what snow feels like…"

"She could get frostbite…"

"I'll give her another minute, then I'll put her mittens on her again."

Before Brennan could say anything Christine walked over to her and held her arms up, Brennan scooped her up. "Are you ready to go inside?" Christine nodded.

"Did you like the snow?"

"NO!" Booth chuckled and took Christine from Brennan, he kissed her forehead and headed inside.

"At least you're honest, baby girl. We'll try snow again next year. After I get you inside I'm going to come back out and build a snowman for you where you can see it from your bedroom window. Would you like that?" Christine nodded a little, not really understanding what Booth was talking about. Fifteen minutes later Christine was dressed in a set of Christmas footy pajamas snuggled in Brennan's arms watching Booth build her a snowman from her bedroom window.

A/N2: I am going to finish the summer challenge after I get this one completed….
