"You're right. Goodnight mom. Goodnight Luke." Sammie said. She walked over to Lorelai and kissed her on the cheek. She walked over and hugged Luke then walked to her room.

"Goodnight guys." Rory said. And with that Rory was off to her room.

Christmas Day

Sammie woke up at 7:00 am. She ran into her mom's room. She saw Luke in there, too. She was used to having Luke at her house now.

She ran over and jumped on her mom.

"Sammie what is it?" Lorelai asked.

"Merry Christmas." Sammie said and smiled.

"Merry Christmas, sweetie." Lorelai said.

Sammie crawled over her mom and woke up Luke.

"Merry Christmas, Sammie." Luke said as he woke up.

"Merry Christmas. Now get out of bed both of you." Sammie said.

"In a couple of minutes." Lorelai replied.

Sammie answered to that by pulling the covers off of the bed and turning on the lights.

"Merry Christmas." Sammie said as she ran out of the room to go wake up Rory, who was sleeping on the floor in Sammie's room.

As Sammie entered her room she turned on the lights. Rory answered this by groaning.

"Merry Christmas," Sammie said.

"Merry Christmas." Rory answered.

Christmas has always been Sammie's favorite holiday. Everyone got together. Everyone was always happy and smiling. There was snow. It was the perfect holiday.

Sammie pulled Rory up and dragged her to Lorelai's room. Lorelai and Luke had gotten out of bed. It was tradition that they all walk down together to see what Santa Clause had left them.

Luke noticed that all 3 of the girls had just woken up and none of them had put on make-up or anything but they all looked beautiful. As for him he threw on a t-shirt and put on his blue baseball hat that Lorelai had given to him.

They all walked down the stairs. Rory and Sammie both screamed. It was a tradition that Santa Clause always left his present unwrapped so that it was the first gift that you would see.

Santa had given Sammie a book that she had wanted. It was a very complex book that Rory had introduced to her. Rory had gotten a book that she wanted. It wasn't as complex but it was very suspenseful.

Sammie and Rory both ran to the Christmas tree to find more presents for them. But, the night before they made a deal that they were going to have Luke and Lorelai open the presents that they got them first.

Sammie grabbed the presents that she got for Lorelai and Luke. Rory did the same thing. They both walked over to where Lorelai and Luke were sitting.

"What's this?" Luke asked.

"Well, Sammie and I decided that you had to open your presents from us first before we opened any presents." Rory said.

"So open them up fast so I can open up mine." Sammie said seriously. She had everyone fooled, almost. But she broke out laughing at the end of the sentance.

Sammie handed Lorelai the present that she got her. Lorelai opened it and gasped. Sammie had blown up a picture that she found of Lorelai and her when she was really little. Sammie was about 3 years old and Lorelai was holding her and they were both smiling at each other. This was her favorite picture of her and her mom and she thought that her mom would like it, too.

"Sammie, it's beautiful." Lorelai said. She stood up and hugged Sammie.

"It's my favorite picture of you and me and I thought you might like it. But there's one more thing in there, you know." Sammie said.

Lorelai unwrapped some more wrapping paper. She found another picture in a picture frame that Sammie had blown up. This picture was much more recent. It was last year at Christmas. It was almost the same picture but Sammie was sitting on Lorelai's lap and she was smiling.

"Sammie, this is amazing. Thank you so much!" Lorelai exclaimed. She loved her gift! It was amazing!

Rory was about to give Lorelai her present when Sammie suddenly stood up. She walked out of the house and into the front yard. Lorelai followed her.

"Sammie get inside. It's cold." Lorelai said

"Wait. Smell."

Lorelai smelt the air. Just as she was doing this it started to snow. Sammie just looked up at the sky and started to spin. Lorelai walked up to Sammie and wrapped an arm around her. They both looked up at the sky one last time then went back inside.

"How can you smell the air and know that it's going to snow?" Luke asked as Sammie and Lorelai walked in the door.

"I have my ways." Sammie said as she sat back down.

"Okay back to presents now." Lorelai said.

Rory handed Lorelai her present. Lorelai unwrapped her gift.

"Rory it's amazing!" Lorelai said.

Rory had made Lorelai a scrapbook. It had a picture, or two, from every year of Rory's life. When Sammie saw this she felt a sinking feeling at the pit of her stomach. She couldn't remember any of these moments. She couldn't remember when or where they were taken. Half of it was because she wasn't alive yet but the other half was because she wasn't there. Her dad never let her go see her mom on a regular basis or even go see her on a weekend if she asked. But she was here now and that's all that mattered.

"Okay. Now Luke it's your turn." Sammie said as she handed Luke his gift.

Luke unwrapped the gift.

"Thank Sammie!" Luke exclaimed.

Sammie had got him a red baseball cap. Just incase that he got bored of his blue one.

"I thought that you'd like it." Sammie said.

"Okay my turn." Rory said as she handed him the present that she got him.

"Thanks Rory!" Luke said as he opened her gift.

Rory got him a new, red flannel shirt that matched the hat that Sammie got him.

"We went shopping for your gift together." Sammie said.

Sammie, Rory, Luke, and Lorelai opened the rest of their gifts. Sammie and Rory hid the present that Lorelai gave them in the back of the tree. The always opened their moms present last.

"I still can't believe that grandma got you a laptop." Lorelai said to Sammie.

"I know! It's crazy!" Sammie said.

"Okay, we only have one more present." Rory said. Sammie walked behind the Christmas tree and handed Rory a present. Then, she walked out from behind the tree with another present.

"These are the presents that you got us mom." Rory said as she saw her mothers confused face.

Rory opened hers first. She screamed when she saw what it was... the new and improved "Compact Oxford English Dictionary."

"Mom, it's amazing! Thank you!" Rory said as she hugged her mom.

"No problem kid." Lorelai said.

"My turn!" Sammie said. What she saw inside when she unwrapped her gift almost made her cry.

"Mom it's amazing!" Sammie said.

Lorelai had made Sammie a beautifuk, flowing green dress. Wrapped inside the dress was another gift. She opened that gift as well. This gift really did make her cry.

"Mom, I don't know what to say." Sammie said.

Inside the box was the most beautiful picture of her mom and her that she had ever seen. She had never seen that picture before. But it was amazing. Sammie was about 9 years old. Lorelai was twirling Sammie around the Independance Inn. The picture was in black and white. On top of the picture was the bracelet that her mom wore in the picture with a note beside it that said 'So you'll always remember what life can be like. So you'll always know that I'll be there. So you'll always remember me.'

Sammie stood up and hugged her mom.

"Mom it's amazing. Thank you." Sammie said.

"No problem, sweetie."

By the time they were done opening their presents it was almost 9am. Rory and Luke went to Luke's to get some food while Lorelai and Sammie stayed home.

"So what are we going to do today mom" Sammie asked.

"All I want to do is spin you around and never let you go. Hold you like you did when you were a little girl. Watch you laugh and have fun with your sister. Watch movies with you and you fall asleep with your head on my shoulder. Me carrying you up to bed and tucking you in. You waking up the next morning and coming into my room and laying down with me until I wake up. Then me carrying you downstairs and never letting you go." Lorelai said.

Sammie almost cried when she heard this. She ran up to her mom and hugged her.

"Well then that's exactly what we'll do," Sammie said.
