Chapter 23

Christmas, aka Chrismukkah was just around the corner. Marissa, Ryan, Seth and Summer were already on vacation. They were going to Newport and at the Cohen house there would be a feast.

"Ry? Have you seen my razor?" Marissa asked from the bathroom. They were packing for their week long vacation back home.

"Check the cabinet above the sink!" Ryan called back. He was in the bedroom, packing clothes. Marissa found her razor and put it in her toiletries bag. She walked back into the bedroom, putting the bag in the one with her clothes in it.

"Did you pack the presents for everyone?" Ryan asked her.

"Yeah, I got everyone's present, including the one for Cate's boyfriend," Marissa informed him. Caitlin's boyfriend Bobby was going to come to Christmas dinner at the Cohens.

"Great!" Ryan said. "Let's go to the car. Seth said he'd be waiting there for us." They took some bags and headed to the Range Rover where Seth and Summer were already waiting.

"Finally you're here," Summer said when they got closer to the car. "We've been waiting for what? 15 minutes?"

"Sorry," Ryan apologized, opening up the trunk of the car and putting in the bags.

"I couldn't find my razor," Marissa said to Summer. Summer shrugged. They got into the car and started heading to Newport.

"I am so looking forward to Christmas dinner," Summer gushed as they were on the highway. "Plus my dad won't be there since he' spending it with the step-monster so it will be so much fun!"

"Yeah, totally," Marissa agreed. "I get to meet Cate's boyfriend."

"How old is your sister?" Ryan asked. He was driving.

"Fifteen," Marissa replied. "I had my first boyfriend when I was like…10."

"And you were with him for like 5 years," Seth pointed out. Marissa hit him over the head.

"Hey, I'm the one who gets to hit him!" Summer laughed.

"Ry, do you think I can stay with you again? I know my mom would probably want me to sleep at home…but you know…" Marissa trailed off.

"Yeah that's cool," Ryan agreed.

"This is going to be the best Chrismukkah ever," Seth decided.

"You say that every year," Ryan pointed out.

"But every year it gets better. I mean with have Jesus and Moses on our side," Seth said. Everyone laughed.

When they got to the Cohen house, only Sandy and Kirsten were there, waiting in the living room.

"Hey guys!" Sandy greeted as they came through the door. He helped Ryan with the bags.

"Summer…how are you?" Kirsten asked. She and Sandy were both thrilled when Seth told them about Summer's pregnancy.

"I'm great, thanks Kirsten," Summer smiled.

"You're eating well? Laying off alcohol?" Kirsten babbled.

"I never was a big drinker. But yeah, I'm eating well," Summer nodded.

"She's eating pickles…something she never used to eat," Seth piped in.

"That's what pregnancy does to you…changes your taste buds," Kirsten said.

"So, who's up for some Thai?" Sandy asked, the take out menus in hand.

It was finally Chrismukkah and Marissa had woken up really early. She always loved Christmas, it was her favorite holiday. She woke up at Ryan at 7:30 because that was the time everyone had decided it would be okay to go downstairs to open presents. She leaned in and kissed him, causing his eyes to flutter open.

"Hey you," Marissa whispered. "Merry Christmas."

"You too," Ryan said. "Come on…I know you want presents." Marissa grinned wickedly and they walked downstairs. Everyone was already in the living room, sipping coffee.

"About time dudes, we've been down here for half an hour," Seth complained.

"Seth…" Kirsten said, with a warning tone to her voice. "Happy Chrismukkah guys." They started opening their presents. From Sandy and Kirsten, Marissa got a new chanel purse. From Seth she got the Notebook which was her favorite movie and from Summer she got new flats. Ryan got her a teardrop necklace that looked like it cost a hell of a lot of money. From Sandy and Kirsten, Ryan got a new book about architecture since he was studying to become one, from Seth and Summer he got Journey's Greatest Hits CD and from Marissa he got a new wrist band and an expensive watch. Seth got the new Death Cab CD from Ryan and Marissa and from his parents he got a few new comics that he didn't have yet. Summer bought him silk boxer shorts with Captain Oats on them. Summer got Phantom of the Opera from Ryan and Marissa which was her favorite movie, earrings from Sandy and Kirsten and a choker necklace from Seth. Ryan and Marissa got Sandy and Kirsten coupons to any store in any mall and Seth and Summer got them tickets to the opera.

The Coopers, plus Caitlin's boyfriend Bobby came over around 3ish. Hugs were exchanged. Marissa saw a blonde boy who was obviously Bobby.

"Hey. You must be Bobby," Marissa said, extending her hand. "I'm Cate's sister, Marissa."

"I've heard loads of things about you. Caitlin idolizes you," Bobby said, showing off his cute British accent. Marissa smiled. He seemed like a great guy for her sister to date. She walked over to where Caitlin was talking to Seth and Summer.

"Cute boyfriend Cate," Marissa commented. "I love his accent."

"I know…isn't it the hottest?" Caitlin agreed motioning for Bobby to join them. Ryan handed Bobby and Caitlin their presents from them. They had gotten Caitlin Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants which was her favorite movie and they had gotten Bobby a playstation game.

"Thanks guys," Caitlin said, smiling.

"You're not done yet!" Seth said, handing her a wrapped gift. "You honestly thought I could forget about the little Cooper…"

"Don't call me that," Caitlin shot back, but she was smiling. She unwrapped Seth and Summer's gift to find a sterling silver bracelet. "Thanks Seth! Thanks Sum!" They had also gotten a present for Bobby.

"Guys! Dinner's ready!" Kirsten called. Everyone settled around the table.

"Hey sweetie. Ryan. Seth," Julie greeted. "Summer, how are you? Is the baby healthy?"

"Yup," Summer replied. "Thanks for asking Mrs. Cooper."

"We have gifts for you," Jimmy said, handing the gifts out around the table.

"Thanks Mom, Dad," Marissa said, smiling at them.

"Thanks Mr. and Mrs. Cooper," Ryan said, smiling shyly. He was happy that Marissa's parents accepted him.

"Please…you are way past calling us by our last names," Julie said.

"Okay…thanks Julie and Jimmy," Ryan said. Marissa got silver anklet, Ryan got a new tie, Seth got Modest Mouse's new CD and Summer got a new skirt.

"We have presents for you too," Seth added. Julie got a coupon to the spa in Palm Springs from Ryan and Marissa and from Seth and Summer she got a louis vetton purse. Jimmy got a new compass for his boat from Ryan and Marissa and from Seth and Summer he got a model sail boat.

"This is really nice…having everyone together on Christmas," Kirsten commented.

"Mom…please, it's Chrismukkah," Seth said.

"Sorry sweetie," Kirsten said.

"This really is nice," Julie agreed. "We haven't done this in forever."

"No kidding," Sandy said. Marissa held Ryan's hand underneath the table.

"You enjoying Christmas so far?" she asked him.

"I say its probably the best Christmas I've ever had," Ryan responded. "The last two were too…eventful."

"Dude! Didn't I tell you that this year Chrismukkah would be the best one yet?" Seth called from the other side of the table to Ryan.

"You were right Set…You were definitely right," Ryan said. Sandy held up his glass, causing everyone else to do so as well.

"I'd just like to say that I'm happy to be spending Chrismukkah with all my closest friends and family. Merry Chrismukkah everyone," Sandy said.

"Merry Chrismukkah!" everyone said, clinking glasses together.
