Sam sighed as he watched as Casey continued to hang ornaments on the Christmas tree. She wasn't really okay. He could feel it.

"You really think J.H. is okay?" Dean questioned.

"No," Sam answered. "She misses Uncle Steve, she's trying to deny it. To be the tough chick," he continued.

"Man, I'm all for avoiding touchy-feely moments, but I'll be the first to admit that I still miss Mom...even after all this time," Dean stated.

"What would she be doing...if she was still alive?" Sam asked quietly.

"For Christmas?" Dean asked, sounding surprised.

"Yeah," Sam answered.

"Ah...she'd go all out. Lights, tree, ornaments..." Dean let out a weary sigh.

"I'm sorry. I---I didn't mean---" Dean waved his brother off.

"It's cool. You have questions. It's normal," he assured. They continued to watch their cousin.
