A/N: This is a chapter that may seem short or long. Due to the fact that something happened and it kept putting extra spaces everytme I typed.
Chapter 8!
Next one will be the last!
At least I think
Days passed by. Stephanie can now get off the bed and not complain too much about the harsh weather.
Fortunately for Becky, she only suffered a really bad cold and not some disease.
Her girls ran into their mother's arms. Happy to see her well and happy self back around the house.
"I really feel sorry for Steph now! I mean, only one cold and I'm down. She on the other hand got so ill." said Becky when they took their seats at the table for Christmas Eve's dinner.
"Being sick is not fun at all." said Stephanie as if she'd just been through so much more.
"When was it ever fun?" asked Michelle as she put mashed potatoes onto her plate.
"That would be a never. Can you pass the gravy?" asked DJ.
Little Alexandra handed the white shiny gravy boat to her cousin.
"Thank you, Lexy!" smiled DJ.
Alexandra nodded since she couldn't say 'you're welcome' with her mouth full.
Danny cut the ham and passed it to everyone.
"You know what would make Christmas eve great?" asked Jesse.
"What?" asked the whole family.
"Elvis Music!"
With that, he turned on the stereo!
I'll have a blue christmas without you
I'll be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green christmas tree
Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me
And when those blue snowflakes start falling
That's when those blue memories start calling
You'll be doin' all right, with your christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue blue blue christmas
(instrumental break)
You'll be doin' all right, with your christmas of white,
But I'll have a blue, blue christmas
"Jesse, of all the songs can't you just pick a Christmas Carol?" begged Danny who got annoyed by the word 'blue' which was now playing over and over in his head.
"Hey, you had your fun now I get to have mine!" Jesse replied cooly.
"Yea, but 'Blue Christmas'? It brings down the mood." said Becky.
Never really one to love Elvis Songs.
Michelle and the twins begged "Let him listen to Elvis! We all had our fun time this holiday!"
They all made a puppy-dog face.
Joey couldn't help but go "Aaaaaaawwwwwww!"
"Come on guys, one Elvis song can't kill you." said DJ.
Becky and Danny never tried hiding their dislike for Elvis.
Though other's can't stand it either, they just want Jesse to be happy and if it only takes 'Blue Christmas' to do that then what's the big deal?
"I guss one won't hurt." sighed Danny.
Jesse looked content and turned up the volume. Like it wasn't loud enough already.
That big dinner certainly warmed everyone up.
"Time for dessert!" announced Becky as she got up from her seat.
"While she serves them, let's listen to 'Silent Night'." suggested Stephanie.
She didn't wanna bother searching for it through the radio so she used the stereo like her uncle did.
Silent Night, Holy Night,
All is calm, all is bright,
Round yon virgin mother and child,
holy infant so tender and mild,
sleep in heavenly peace, sleep in heavenly peace
"Pretty song," commented Nichole.
"Very pretty song!" shouted Alexandra.
Danny laughed, "You see, Jesse? Your girls have good taste in music."
"Oh sure! Singing about mothers and their children is good music." said Jesse sarcastically.
"Jesse! Like singing about how your Christmas is going down is a good way of expressing music." said Becky.
"A; it's the snowflakes that's falling down. And B; I love it cause it's the music of the King."
"You do know he only sings it right?" asked Becky.
"He does?"
"For someone who practically worships the guy, you sure are clueless."
Becky put bowls of ice cream heavily dripped with chocolate sauce on a tray and brought it over to the table.
They looked as if they were gonna just drool all over the table. But thank god they didn't.
DJ, Stephanie, Michelle, Nichole and Alexandra looked in awe. Stephanie and Michelle had to hold the twins down just to keep them from jumping on it.
"Alright, let's dig in!"
