That night, Lorelai and Rory headed for their weekly dinner at the grandparents house.
"I'm so glad tomorrow is Saturday" Lorelai moaned as they pulled up in front of her parents house.
"How come?" Rory asked her as she unbuckled her seat belt and started to open her car door.
"Number one- I don't have to work. And number two- It will be six whole days before our Friday night dinner" Lorelai told her with a grin.
"Um, mom. I think that you forgot something," Rory told her as they got out of the car and walked up to the front door.
"What's that?" Lorelai asked her.
"Thursday is Christmas" Rory told her. She knew that Lorelai would be glad to come to dinner then, because there would be apple tarts there.
Lorelai grinned. "I love Christmas!"
Just then, Emily pulled the door open. "Hello, girls."
"Hi, mom" Lorelai answered.
"Hi, Grandma" Rory said.
"So, where's Grandpa?" Rory asked Emily a few minutes later.
"Oh, he's away on a business trip. But he will be back in time for Christmas" Emily told her cheerfully.
"That's good, mom. One question though" Lorelai told her.
"Yes?" Emily asked with one, perfectly plucked, eyebrow raised.
"You are serving apple tarts this year, aren't you?" Lorelai asked with lifted brows and a hopeful expression on her face.
"Yes, Lorelai. Now come to the table. Dinner is ready" Emily said.
Grinning, the two of them followed Emily to the table.
That Thursday morning, Rory woke up to Lorelai jumping on her bed singing "Jingle Bells" at the top of her lungs.
"Oh good, you're awake" Lorelai sang when she saw Rory's eyes pop open.
"How could I not be?" Rory asked.
"Don't be grumpy, sleepy head, it's Christmas." Lorelai squealed as she hopped of the bed and raced for the living room.
Rory grinned and raced after her.
A little while later, they where dressed in their best and headed for the big Christmas dinner.
"Hello, everybody" Lorelai said as she and Rory walked into the sitting room at the Gilmore residents.
"Wait a minute, where is everybody?" Lorelia asked Emily.
Rory started looking around the room. "You're right. Grandma, where is everybody else?"
Emily smiled at them. "Our other guests are expected any minute now. Richard, the girls are here" Emily called.
"In a minute" Richard answered.
Emily sighed and offered them something to drink.
"Sure" Lorelai answered for both of them.
Rory took a seat on the couch. "Who are the other guests, Grandma?"
"Oh, you'll see" Emily answered vaguely.
"Mom" Lorelai started, but she was cut off when the doorbell started ringing.
"Lorelai, why don't you go get that" Emily told her.
Lorelai regarded her suspiciously. "Why would I get the door?"
"Ding Dong!"
"Lorelai, they are waiting in the cold" Emily reprimanded her.
"Fine, I'm going" Lorelai huffed.
Rory stood up to follow her, but Emily told her to stay put.
"Yes, ma'am." Rory said, and sat back down to wait.
A second later, Lorelai pulled the front door open and came face to face with Luke and Jess.
