"Wow, that was …that was nothing short of amazing!" She hissed.

"Merry Christmas Sara!" was all he could choke out,

Suddenly there was a wrap at the door. Grissom threw his robe on to answer it. It was his mom giving him a wake up call and to come join her to open presents. They got dresses and headed down stairs. The first gift opened was the one from Sara to Adele; she was amazed at the beautiful silk scarf and matching broche. She reached over and gave Sara a hug of gratitude. Sara opened her gift from Adele, it was a small painting, and she assumed it was from her gallery, it was signed and it had insignia of a butterfly. It was beautiful; she was in awe as she looked at the painting. Sara passed Grissom the gift from her He opened it, it was beautiful and it had a silver plate on it with the words engraved on it. He was speechless, and a bit excited. He handed her the small box with the necklace inside it. She quickly opened it and looked at the small piece of jewellery inside.

"Turn it over, there is something written!" Grissom motioned knowing it said the exact same thing that her gift had. "Great minds think alike!" he said reaching for her hand.

"Its beautiful!" She said choking back the tears.

Adele opened the gift from Grissom, it was a gift certificate to her favorite store, and he leaned over and gave her a peck on the cheek. There was one gift left under the tree, Grissom reached for it and passed it to Sara.

"I hope that this is not bold, but I saw this gift and thought of you!" He was grinning form ear to ear as she reached for the paper and began to rip it off.

Sara reached into the box and picked the night set up out of the box, "Wow, its beautiful!" was all that she could choke out.

"I hope it is not inappropriate. I saw it and immediately thought of you!"

"Its wonderful!" she said leaning in for a kiss.

"Alright, whose ready for peppermint pancakes?" Adele said getting up form the floor

"Peppermint Pancakes?"

"Yes, it is one of our traditions, peppermint pancakes and chocolate sauce!"

"Yum," Sara thought licking her lips, "I am famished!" she said as her thoughts wandered back to the events of the night before a smile came to her face.

Grissom noticed it and smiled back at her, "Yeah, I am hungry too, I will make the hot nog to accompany breakfast!"

They all got up and headed for the kitchen. They prepared breakfast and ate as they laughed about Christmases past; Adele was telling Sara about a young Gil, running around on Christmas morning quickly hoping that all his gifts were bugs. Sara was not surprised when he leaned over to whisper in her ear.

"I hope you know I want to see my gifts on you tonight!"

Sara smiled and nodded.

Sara was nervous about this encounter, last time was the first time they were together, this time was different, it was planned, there was a nervous knot in her stomach as she took the gift out of the box and shimmed herself into the nightgown and robe. The silk felt so nice on her skin. She was amazed that he had picked out such a nice gift for her. She reached for the necklace and went to put it on around her neck. She couldn't quite do it.

"Griss, could you come her and help me for a minute?"

It was seconds before he was at the door. He opened the door and drank in her beauty, he decided that the nightgown was definitely the right purchase for Sara; it looked absolutely beautiful on her, like it was custom made for her. She handed him the necklace and lifted up her hair. He clasped the necklace around her neck and began to place chastised kissed around her neckline, she leaned back with pleasure. He led her by the hand and placed her down on the bed.

He began to run his hands along her body through the silk; she was aroused under his touch. He reached and removed her robe and then she lifted the nightgown off over her head and left herself completely naked except for the silk panties. He reached down to pull them off; she took his hands away and began to disrobe him. In no time he was in nothing but boxers and she in the silk panties. She reached over to shed him of the offending clothes and she of hers. It that moment she knew her life was complete; it really was a Merry Christmas.
