*Disclaimer: Don't own anything having to do with Gilmore Girls…except my story of course! Hehe, well here's the second installment of Christmas Wishes. Obviously it takes place on Christmas Eve afternoon. The next one I'll write tonight. Tricky isn't it?

The two Gilmore Girls fell down onto the couch. They had just returned from Hartford, where the last minute Christmas shopping had been completed.

"What do you think about this dress?" Lorelai asked.

"Um, yeah, Mom, we were supposed to buy presents for other people. Not ourselves."

"Oh but that's what you think, my child! Obviously I need to teach you more."

"Riiigghht, well I'm going to go work on wrapping all of this junk, so we can hand presents out to people tonight – on time for once."

"Oh that hurts. Are you saying we're procrastinators?"

" I just might be. Well they won't wrap, bag, box, and bow themselves, so have fun doing well…whatever you plan to do. Just make sure it's legal this time, ok?"

"Well just so you know, my presents for others will be wrapped, etc. on time. But first, how does coffee sound? You know as well as I do, that Starbucks just didn't cut it at a time like this. Only one will do, only one shall grace our lips. To Luke's!"

"Fine," came the response, "but we have to make it quick!"

"Of course! Why wouldn't we child?"

They made their way through the overly festive town. All the lights, on all the trees were lit, the snowmen, and other sculptures had been built. Christmas music greeted them at every door.

"Brr, it's cold."

"No really? I told you not to wear the new dress."

"But Rory dear, you know I just had to show off for Luke. You know, get up on the counter, do a little runway routine, while of course knocking off all dishes in sight."

"Yes, you do have that tendency Mom."

"Sad truth," came the response from Lorelai as they walked into the diner. "Luke, we need coffee!"

"Hmm, I was just beginning to wonder when you would show up."

"You know us too well. Anyway, where are all the Christmas decorations? I don't see the tinsel, the tree…Where the heck is your hat?? Jess, get down here right now!" Lorelai shouted. He appeared out of the kitchen, wiping his hands on a towel.

"What's going on? Did you run out of coffee already?"

"Jess, where is your hat?"

"Oh crap, I must have left it upstairs…"

"Age old excuse, it won't work on me!"

"Right then," he agreed.

"Well," Rory said, "you'll just have to have it on when we come around with all the gifts later tonight. You'll see us when you least expect."

"I'll look forward to seeing you when I least expect, Rory," Jess whispered under his breath.

"What?" the younger Gilmore questioned.

"I didn't say anything…"

"Ok," she responded hesitantly, "well we'll see you all later then. Thanks for the coffee, and Merry Christmas Eve Afternoon!" and with that the girls left to start, and finish their wrapping.

Well that's all till later tonight. The way I plan it, after we do all the Christmas Eve family stuff, I'll type up the last part of Christmas Eve. Then tomorrow, I'll finish it. So I guess you'll just have to…hehe…tune in later kids! Oh my, I'm scaring myself, time for eggnog! Hope you enjoyed the second installment, review if you want – it can be your Christmas/ Holiday present to me! Bye for now.
