A/N: Set during/post Damned if You Do; here's something my oddball mind came up with for the gift to House from Cameron. I didn't have time to review the ep, so if I got the wrapping paper colors wrong or something, be nice.At the time, she'd never have done it, but maybe this year she would. For those of you waiting for the next chapter of 'Truth,' it is being worked on, and I have a three-day weekend this week as well. Happy reading!

She came into his office late that night before leaving, timidly as always, and handed him a smallish box wrapped in gold and red paper. "Merry Christmas," she murmured, and quickly headed back out into the hospital. She hadn't given him time to say anything, not that he would have anyway.

He sat down, placed the box on top of his desk, and pondered it for a moment, resting his chin on the handle of his cane. He turned back to his computer and decided not to open it just yet.

After he was sure she'd gone home, he carefully opened the box to reveal a smaller box that read 'Dr. Frank's Joint and Muscle Pain Relief Spray!' It had an 'As Seen on TV' sticker attached to it and a picture of some hokey fake doctor. He frowned and set it aside. Underneath this drug-store type box lay a note:

'Now I'm mocking you. Merry Christmas, House.'
