Going to church with not only his brothers, but the rest of the gang as well, was not how Darry wanted to spend Christmas Eve.
Soda and Steve would be smacking each other with the bibles, Two-Bit would begin chatting with whoever sat by him. Dally would keep trying to light a cigarette, and Johnny would just sit there with a glazed look. It seemed like the only one who was actually interested was himself and Ponyboy.
But like Ponyboy said before, it was okay, because they were all together. And that's what Christmas was about.
Happy Holidays!
