-Day 23-

-Rachel pov-

I have been very intrigued by todays activities. Everyone has been going around and decorating again. The Lopez house is very big actually. Why her Abuela lives the way she does I have no clue.

We all have our own sections pretty much. Santana and I are close to my dads area. It keeps us close to her folks and mine. I am all for her being close to them still.

I am still scared of claymation movies. The Rudolph the Red-Noised Reindeer song scares me. I can just see his freakish glowing nose. Apparently we are taking Christmas photos today though.

-Santana singing-

You know Dasher and Dancer

And Prancer and Vixen,

Comet and Cupid

And Donner and Blitzen.

But do you recall

The most famous reindeer of all?

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer

Had a very shiny nose

And if you ever saw it

You would even say it glows

All of the other reindeer

Used to laugh and call him names

They never let poor Rudolph

Join in any reindeer games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve

Santa came to say

Rudolph with your nose so bright

Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?

Then all the reindeer loved him

And they shouted out with glee

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer

You'll go down in history!

"No!" Santana turns and I feel tears sprin to my eyes "NO! NO RUDOLPH! KILL IT! DADDY KILL IT!"

"The girl who does not eat meat wants Rudolph killed" Santana Rudolph steps toward me "It is just me baby"

"NO!" I stumble back and fall on my butt "Stay away! Stay away from me!"

"That is what I was trying to say" Dad comes over and helps me up "She is deathly scared of the claymation movies and especially of Rudolph"

Santana looks at me with a frown "So you are not dressing up as Clarice?" I shake my head quickly "Oh..Oh! Honey you have that movie combined with war and silence of the lambs!"

"You are radioactive!" I curl into my dad more "Never share radioactivity!"

"Alright I think before we do this we need to watch Rudolph by itself" I watch her hold her hand out slowly and I hesitate before taking it "Baby steps ok?"

"Baby steps" I take a deep breath and follow her to the couch "I can do baby steps if I need them"

I let her sit me down and she goes to the television. She finds the movie and pops it in. She holds onto me as it begins. This could be a very bad time.

I can only hope the best I guess.

-Time skip-Santana pov-

She has been upstairs for a few minutes now. I look at the others and shrug. She made it through the movie easily. I explained the differences and told her never to watch it with silence again.

We all have themes going on. Judy and Fran are yetis, Shelby along with Beth and Quinn are the Claus Family, mom and dad are Sally and Jack respectively, and The Berry men are Gremlins.

"I guess we can start" Fran pulls out her camera "We can get started on photos!"

"Hang on!" We all look and I smile as she comes down the stairs "I had some trouble with the tail"

"You look wonderful" I hold my arms out as she walks over "Now give me a hug my lovely deer!"

"Clever word play" I chuckle as she hugs me "Sorry I took so long"

"I am just happy you did this" I give her a kiss on the head "I love your antlers my love"

"I love you" I pull back and see the love in her eyes "I love you"

"I love you" I kiss her passionately and cameras click "I hate every single one of you"

"You love us" I glare at Quinn playfully and everyone laughs "Let's get this photos done! I have movies and cuddles waiting for me!"

"Who knew Quinn could be so soft" She glares now as I smirk "Time has not been kind to you"

"Neither has it to you fake tits" I look away as my parents awkwardly shuffle "What is going on?"

"My tits are fake cause one had a tumor" I sigh and wipe the tears away "I got a upgrade while under the knife"

"Why not tell me?" I shrugs while Rachel holds onto me "We tell each other everything"

"I know" I sigh and lay my head on Rachel's "I just felt lost"

-Quinn singing-

Sometimes in our lives

We all have pain, we all have sorrow.

But if we are wise,

We know that there's always tomorrow.

Lean on me when you're not strong

And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on

For it won't be long

'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on.

Please swallow your pride

If I have things you need to borrow

For no one can fill those of your needs

That you won't let show.

You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand

We all need somebody to lean on.

I just might have a problem that you'll understand,

We all need somebody to lean on.

Lean on me when you're not strong

And I'll be your friend I'll help you carry on

For it won't be long

'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on

You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand

We all need somebody to lean on.

I just might have a problem that you'll understand,

We all need somebody to lean on.

If there is a load

You have to bear

That you can't carry

I'm right up the road

I'll share your load

If you just call me.

Call me if you need a friend

Call me, call me, uh-huh

Call me when you need a friend

Call me if you ever need a friend

Call me, call me

Call me, call me

Call me, call me

Call me, call me

Call me if you need a friend

Call me, call me

Call me, call me

Call me, call me

Call me, call me

Call me

"I get it" I walk over and hug her "Let's not mess up make up ok?"

"Too late" She sniffles and we both chuckle "Good job"

"Photo time!" Fran taps the camera with a smile "Get in your groups"

We go into our groups and have a good night. I love this family we are frowning into. We are the best group I know. I can not wait for what the future brings.

Just a few more days left.
