A Christmas Story Part 8: Christmas Eve ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next morning, Christmas Eve morning, Mandy stayed in bed a little longer then usual.
After a while Face came into the room: Wake up sleepy head.
Mandy: Leave me alone. (She whined)
Face: Not exactly a morning person are you?
Mandy: Usually I am, but I still got the taste of shaving cream in my mouth. That would make any person grumpy.
Face: You know what would make someone even grumpier?
Mandy: Being woken up when they didn't want too?
Face: Yeah, but I was thinking more along the lines of waking up with shaving cream on your face.
Mandy: Face, go away. (And she pulls the blanket over her head.)
Just then Athena comes into the room.
Athena: Any luck getting her up?
Face: Nope. She's being difficult.
Mandy: JUST LIKE ANOTHER PERSON WE KNOW! (She yelled from underneath the blankets.)
Face: Who is talking about?
Athena: You! You GEEK!
Athena walked to the window.
Face: What are you doing?
Athena: Just watch. (She opened the window, grabbed some snow off the sill, made it into a nice big snowball, and threw it at Mandy.)
Mandy: COME ON!!! Don't make me come out there Captain!
Athena: Oooo. I'm afraid now! (And she pelted Mandy again with another snowball.)
Mandy removed the sheets off of her ready to get up when Face and Athena started to throw snowballs at Mandy.
Mandy: AHHHH!!! Guys!! That's cold!!!!
Athena: That's the idea silly.
Mandy: Okay okay! I'm up. No more snowballs.
Face: Okay. (And he threw his out the window. Athena still had her snowball in her hand.) Athena, let go of the snowball. (She didn't.) Athena, let go of the snowball!!
Athena: Fine!! (She threw it out the window and left the room.)
Face: Hurry up and get dressed. (He left too.)
Mandy quickly got dressed and went downstairs.
Mandy: Hey where are Lindsey and Tanya?
George: They had some last minute shopping to do, so they went out together.
Athena: Let's go play out in the snow.
B.A.: What? No!
Murdock: Yeah. That sounds like fun! Can we Colonel! Can we!! (He started to jump up and down.)
Mandy: Let's go make some snowmen.
George: What?
Athena: Snowmen!!! Wooooooooo!!!! FUN!!!
Everyone looked at Hannibal.
Hannibal: Why does everyone look at me?
Jason: Cause you're the Colonel.
Hannibal: Okay, let's go make some snowmen.
Mandy, Athena, and Murdock jumped for joy.
Face: Do I have ta?
Mandy: Yes!
B.A.: I ain't going out there.
Jason: Come on B.A., let's go.
B.A.: Say what?
Jason: Just come on.
George: You coming too Hannibal?
Hannibal: I wouldn't miss it for the world kid.
They went outside and they decided to make their own snowmen's. The Face's got together, the B.A.'s got together, the Murdock's got together, and the Hannibal's got together and made some snowmen.
After a little while Mandy and Face had their snowman done and then Mandy ran into the house to get something.
Hannibal and George's snowman looked just like a regular snowman, but had a cigar coming out of the mouth.
B.A. and Jason's snowman was built so that it looked like it had really big muscles.
Murdock and Athena's snowman was just a regular snowman. Athena didn't like it like that so she grabbed Murdock's hat.
Murdock: Hey, what are you gonna do with my hat?
Athena didn't say anything and placed it on the snowman's head.
Just then Mandy came out the door with a tie and put it around the snowman's head.
Face: Nice touch, Little Facey.
Mandy didn't respond. She got hit in the back of the head with snow.
Mandy: What?
She turned around and got hit with another snowball.
Mandy: Hey!
B.A. and Jason were throwing snowballs at her.
B.A. and Jason were laughing at Mandy's reaction.
Mandy: Oh, that's it! (She picked up some snow and threw it at them hitting Jason in the leg.)
George: SNOWBALL FIGHT!!! (He picked up some snow and threw it at Murdock.)
Murdock picked up some snow and threw it at Athena.
Then the whole snowball war started up.
Hannibal said silently to himself: I am getting out of here before I get hit. (He walked out of the way.)
After a few minutes Mandy and Athena were standing near each other, but wasn't throwing snow at each other, so Hannibal picked up some snow and threw it at Mandy. Mandy turned around.
Mandy: Hannibal!
Hannibal: Hey, what a minute kid, it wasn't me it was Athena.
Mandy didn't say anything and hit Athena with some snow.
Hannibal laughed: I love it when a plan comes together.
Hannibal then saw Face and hit him with the snow.
Face turned to look at him and Hannibal shook his head and pointed to George. Face hit George with some snow.
Hannibal laughed again.
Very soon Tanya pulled up with her car.
George: HEY EVERYONE STOP! (Everyone did so.) Let's get Tanya!
Jason: Yeah!
They went over to Tanya's car and just as soon as Lindsey and Tanya got out of the car they started to throw snowballs at the car.
Tanya: Hey!!! No Fair!! I didn't know that we were walking into a snowball fight. Right Lindsey? (There was no response. Lindsey was already in the snow fight covered with snow.)
Hannibal threw some snow at Tanya.
Tanya: Hannibal.
Hannibal laughed: It wasn't me. (He then realized that no one else was around. His laughing stopped.) Um...
Tanya picked up some snow and got Hannibal!!
Hannibal: That was not how my plan was supposed to work.
Hannibal decided that considering that he got hit why not join the fight.
After about an hour, (there were no winners or losers, everyone had fun.) they entered the house drenched and cold.
Mandy: Why don't we all go and change and then make some S'mores over the fire?
Athena: S'MORES!
Lindsey: CHOCOLATE!!!!!!
Murdock: YES!!!!! (They did a three way high five and ran up the stairs.)
The others took their time going upstairs.
A little while later they all entered the living room and George was making a fire.
Mandy handed out marshmallows and long sticks that reached to the fire.
Murdock went up to the fire and wasn't paying attention. When he took his marshmallow out it was on fire.
Lindsey: FIRE!! FIRE!!!
Murdock blew on it until the fire was no more.
Murdock: Ah, burnt just the way I like them! (And he made his s'more.)
George and Mandy went out to make some hot cocoa.
Mandy: George, Athena doesn't like hot cocoa.
Jason walked into the kitchen: Yeah, but if you do this, she will. (He put two giant handfuls of mini marshmallows into Athena's cup.)
George: Good thinking sergeant.
Jason smiled and brought the tray into the living room.
They sat around sipping at their hot cocoas and flipping through the channels.
Face: Nothing's on.
Mandy: Wait there's something.
Hannibal: Hey, it's "It's a Wonderful Life" I haven't seen that movie in a long time.
Athena: I have NEVER seen that movie before.
Murdock: Then we gotta watch it. Just for you. (He poked her nose. Athena smiled and watched the movie.)
During the movie Athena couldn't stay awake anymore, so she rested her head on Murdock's shoulder and very soon fell asleep.
After the movie Murdock: So, Athena how did you like it? (He looked at her and noticed that she fell asleep.) Why does she always wind up sleep on me? (Mandy opened her mouth.) And don't say that it's because of my leather jacket, cause I'm not wearing one.
Mandy: She just feels so safe around you. (Murdock smiled.)
Murdock: All right. Well, I can't just leave her here. (He slowly moved as not to wake her and picked her up and carried her to her room.)
Murdock laid her in her bed and covered her.
Athena: Humphrey. (Murdock knew what she was talking about and gave her her teddy bear. Athena smiled and snuggled up to her bear.)
Murdock: Night Little Murdock. (He got up and before he left. He heard Athena mumble.)
Athena: Night, Merry Christmas Murdock.
Murdock looked back, smiled: Merry Christmas. (And he closed her door.)
