Christmas time, mistletoe and wine
The months past with picnics on the beach and mysteriousstoreys at night. It was now Christmas Eve. Everyone in the house was excited and busy prepairing Christmas dinner. It was always atradition to have Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve, instead of the Christmas Day.
Christen, Raoul and Oscar where under the kitchen tabel, hiding. Every so often Christen would tug on the maid Danelles dress and she would pass them down a peice of fruit and veg. While Gostove was cutting the potatoes, he dropped the knife of the floor. As he bent down to pick it up, he noticed thats little hand come out from under the tabel cloth. He grabbed Christens hand and pulled her out into his arms.
"Now little one. What where you doing under there?" Christen hanged her head in shame.
"Nothing." She replied in an innocent voice. Gostove smiled.
"Is Raoul under there as well?" Christen nodded.
"And Oscar." Gostove lifted up the tabel cloth to see Oscar licking Raoul up the face. They all began to laugh.
"Come out of them you two!" Both boy and dog crawled out. Gostove put Christen and the floor .
"Now go. And i don't want to see you three in here again." They ran out of the kitchen laughing and barking. Victoria stood next to Gostove.
"Look at them. It seems like they have known each over for all their lifes, instead of just eight months." Gostove sighed happily.
"I know its a bit earily to say but i hope that one day those two will get married and start a family." Victoria looked at him.
"You think so?" Gostove smiled at her.
"I know so."
The whole household was sitting at the table enjoying the brilliant meal, they had all perpaired. All throughout the meal there was laughter and talk and merry christmas's. It soon approached nine o'clock and the staff went home to be with their families.
Gostove and Victoria took the children to bed. Victoria with Raoul and Gostove with Christen. Once the children where firmly in bed the adults retired to their room's as well.
On Christmas day Raoul was once again woken by Christens persistent shaking. He opened his eyes to see Christens brown ones looking down at him.
"Go away Christen!" He said whilst pushing her off the bed. She squeeled as she fell off and abruptly stood but up again, with her hands on her hips frowning.
"Fine then! If you don't want presents so be it!" As she began to make her way to the door she was greated by Raoul. Christen smiled. "Glad to decided to join me."
When Gostove and Victoria finally arrived downstairs to the living room, Christen and Raoul were standing there. They could see the urges on their faces to just dive under the christmas tree and retreve their presents.
"Oh go on then." After Christens father had said that the only things you could see of them was their small feet sticking out from under the tree.
Thye all opened their presents with smiles. Except for Raoul when he received a pair of socks. 'Boys always need a new pair of socks' Victoria had said. Raoul just frowned in return and opened another present. Late that day It began to snow. Once the snow had stopped falling the children grabbed their coats and ran straight outside. First of all they had and snowball fight, made a snowman (Futher on during the day Gostove could not find his smoking pipe) and at last but not least they made snow angels. When it was time for Christen and Raoul to sleep, Gostove read them both A Christmas Tale. And soon they where off to the land of sleep by Christens fathers soothing voice.
