Peter slowly woke as the warmth of the hospital room finally reached him. He relished in the warmth and promised himself he would never take the summer heat for granted again. At least that beat freezing to death. The Ghostbuster finally opened his eyes and saw the hospital room as well as his leg in a cast being held in a sling. The room looked like Santa's workshop had exploded. There was a tree, tinsel, mistletoe and everything else related to Christmas. The last thing Dr. Venkman noticed was the other occupied bed in the bright room. Dani was sleeping in the other bed looking like a blonde Snow White waiting for Prince Charming to wake her from the slumber.

"Do you think they're awake?" Dr. Venkman turned his head to see the door to the room open a bit. He couldn't see who was on the other side, but he could hear them. Peter recognized the voice. It was Ray's.

"It won't hurt to wait," another voice replied. "I'm sure they'd like to see us." That was Winston and he was right. Peter would like to see his friends especially after the near death experience he and Dani had.

"Just go in," a third voice said. Peter chuckled to himself. Janine hated to be kept waiting any longer than she had to. The door opened and the people standing outside the door walked in. Janine was holding on to Egon as if to keep him from getting into another accident. Ray wore a worried look as Winston looked as calm as ever.

"Hi, guys," Peter greeted.

"Peter, how do you feel?" Dr. Spengler inquired.

"Well, warmer," Dr. Venkman answered. "What's the verdict on my leg?"

"You almost lost it, man," Winston responded. "It nearly melded with the door because of the ice. All you have are a few nasty scars and a fracture."

"I guess it could have been worse," Peter replied.

"Worse?" Ray repeated. "You and Dani could have died. Any longer in the cold and they'd be treating you for hypothermia and frostbite."

"Tex, I'm fine," Dr. Venkman said. "Dani's fine. Egon got us help. Everything is right with the world."

"If everything is right than why are you all waking me up?" Peter and the others looked at the other bed where Dani lay awake. "I already had to try and sleep through Peter's snoring. How can you guys stand it?"

"Wear earplugs," Winston answered with a grin.

"Hey!" Ray rushed over to his girlfriend.

"Are you okay?" Dr. Stantz asked. "I was so scared when Janine called and told me about the accident. I should have gone with you." Dani put a finger on his lips and the young man stopped talking.

"Ray, I'm fine. At least I think so. I don't know what's up with my ribs. Next year though we are going to spend Christmas together whether it be at the firehouse, at a relative's house or even in the hospital. Now all I want for you to do is to kiss me and bring me a hot chocolate. Is this possible?" Ray nodded. "Good." She removed her finger and the Ghostbuster moved into a better position to kiss the young woman.

"I should have asked for that too," Janine said as she watched them. The red-head felt herself being turned around than a pair of lips pressed on to hers.

"Whoa," Winston commented watching the scene that lay before him. He looked over at Peter who looked rather fascinated with what was happening.

"I'm almost forgot something," Ray said as he pulled away from Dani.

"Oh, yes," Egon added doing the same with Janine. "Today is Christmas."

"And Santa left a few presents," Dr. Stantz continued.

"That explains the room," Peter commented. "It looked like something you might do, Ray."

"But I don't have my presents for you guys," the young woman said. "And I got great gifts for you guys."

"We have them," Ray told her. "It took a little bit of doing and a lot of chocolate, but we managed."

"You got Slimer to help out?" Dr. Venkman said.

"That was the hard part," Zeddemore told him. "But we have presents, cookies, and 'It's a Wonderful Life'."

"And music." Dr. Stantz pulled out a small boom box from the closet. He pressed play.

"Chestnuts roasting over an open fire," Nat King Cole sang. "Jack Frost nipping at your nose."

The music continued as presents were handed out, cookies were eaten, and the gang enjoyed their Christmas. The psychologist glanced over at Janine who was giving Egon a big hug for some reason or another. He thought it could possibly to with the shiny bracelet now on her wrist. Peter looked over at Dani who had her head on Ray's shoulder and was laughing at whatever Winston was talking about. He and Egon had promised her a Christmas and even though this wasn't a perfect one it had everything a Christmas required. Friends and family having a good time.

"Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas to you."

(So, have a Merry Christmas. A Happy Kwanza. A great Chanukah. Or whatever you celebrate. Hope your holidays are great.)
