Today was December 25th, Christmas Day. The sun was now shining through the windows of the Anderson house in San Francisco.

Amy and Susan were tiptoeing into Riley's room quietly and smiling with the joy of Christmas excitement filled their hearts and ran up to Riley's bed and began jumping on it to wake her and Jordan up.

"Riley, wake up! It's Christmas!" Amy cheered.

"Yeah, come on! We want to see what Santa got us!" Susan cheered. Riley chuckled as she turned to where her friends were jumping and opened her eyes.

"Hey, girls, Merry Christmas." Riley said as she and Jordan got out of bed.

"Your parents and grandparents are waiting for you. They want to see us open our presents." Amy said happily.

"I don't know about you, but I'm super happy and excited right now." Riley said as she got up and made her bed.

"Me too. I hope Santa brought us some awesome stuff." Jordan said as they all got dressed for their favorite holiday and time of year.

Meanwhile, in HQ, Joy is bouncing around happily as she played "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" on her accordion, awakening the other emotions.

"Merry Christmas, Team Happy!" she shouted cheerfully.

"Merry Christmas, Joy!" the other emotions shouted in unison.

"Now let's start the day with Riley and her friends opening their gifts!" the star said gleefully.

As Riley and Jordan came downstairs, they were holding hands lovingly.

Soon, everyone is gathered in the living room. Bill is wearing a Christmas sweater with a Christmas tree and Santa Claus on it while Jill wears a red blouse with snowflakes. Riley is wearing a red and green long-sleeved shirt. Susan and Amy are wearing Santa hats.

"You look good, Riley." Jordan complimented her.

"Thanks, Jordan." Riley replied with a giggle.

Before long, everyone started opening their presents.

Susan opens her gift which reveals to be a pair of white surround-sound headphones. "Cool!" she exclaimed in delight.

Amy opens her gift to see a set of two video games: Pac-Man, Super Mario Bros., and Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance.

"Awesome!" she said with a grin.

Riley's grandmother opens her gift to show a Taylor Swift CD and a makeup set.

"I love it!" she said with a big smile.

Riley's grandfather opens his gift to show a new gray sweatshirt and black shiny shoes.

"I bet I will look good in this." he commented.

Riley opens her gift to reveal a Demi Lovato CD and a picture of Jordan and Riley hanging out in the park.

"Aww. This is sweet." she said in awe as she looked at the photo.

Jordan then opens his gift which contains a brand new Just Dance video game.

"No way! Now I can dance along to my favorite songs!" he exclaimed delightedly.

Riley then smiles at Jordan as her father came near her.

"Look how happy you made him." he said.

"Yeah, but let's not tell Mom that we used her credit card." she whispered.

"Agreed."

An hour after the gifts were opened, everyone enjoyed themselves by eating the foods they made for the Christmas party and listening to Christmas music.

Riley spotted her karaoke machine that was used a few times today. Amy used it to sing "Get This Party Started" by P!nk, Susan used it to sing "Boom Clap" by Charli XCX, and Jordan used it to sing "That's What I Like" by Bruno Mars.

"Your turn to sing, Riley." Jordan said.

Upon hearing this, Joy announced to her co-workers, "This is it, Team Happy! Time to make Riley shine!" She presses a button on the console.

Riley walked up to the machine and picked up the microphone. She browsed her karaoke CD collection before finding one and popping it into the disc drive.

"Testing." she spoke into the microphone.

Everyone stops what they're doing and focuses their attention to RIley. She then readies herself, hits the play button and the lyrics appear on the screen as the white letters turn blue as they're sung.

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos

Jordan sighs lovingly as he watches his future girlfriend sing with her beautiful voice.

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

As the emotions watched the monitor showing her point of view, Joy sang along and Sadness mouthed along.

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to 92
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you.

Riley finishes the song to everyone applauding her. Her parents were so proud of their daughter's ability to sing. Her friends were blown away by her talent. They cheered with Jordan being the loudest. She walks up to them and is automatically trapped into a hug by Jordan.

"That was amazing, Riley! You sang so sweetly. I loved it!" he complimented her.

Riley blushes mildly as she returns the hug.

"Aww, thanks, Jordan."

"So, what do you think?" Joy asked the other emotions. "Did she do good?"

"She did awesome!" Disgust chimed.

"I'd like to see her perform on American Idol!" Anger commented.

Later that evening, the Anderson family and Riley's friends are watching Christmas specials and movies like 'The Polar Express', 'A Christmas Carol' and 'Elf'.

A short time later, Jordan whispered to Riley, "Riley, may I have a word with you privately?"

Riley follows Jordan into the kitchen.

"What is it, Jordan?" Riley asked.

Jordan takes a deep breath before beginning his confession.

"Riley, ever since I met you at the ice rink, we've been hanging out and became friends, and I've been having a crush on you. I was too nervous to admit back then."

Riley smiles at what he said before she too confessed, "I've been developing feelings for you too, Jordan. I was also nervous to admit it as well."

"Well, now that we both admitted our feelings to each other tonight, I have an extra gift for you."

"What's that?"

Jordan takes three roses out of his coat pocket and gives them to Riley, who gasps in surprise, covers her mouth and beams. She gently takes the roses and closed her eyes as she sniffed them.

"Thank you so much, Jordan!" Riley said happily.

"You're welcome." Jordan answered before he noticed something above them.

They looked and saw, to their surprise, a mistletoe hanging on the ceiling.

"Is that...?" Fear started to ask.

"Uh-huh, mistletoe!" Joy said enthusiastically.

"Oh, please don't tell me you're going to make Riley kiss Jordan." Disgust said. "Kissing makes me sick."

"I agree with her. Plus, I despise romance." Anger piped in.

"Criticize romance all you want, but I'm making Riley kiss Jordan, no questions asked." Joy goes over the light bulbs, pulls one out and inserts it into the console.

Riley and Jordan shared a warm smile before slowly leaning forward each other until they lock their lips together in a slow and passionate kiss. As they kissed, Riley wraps her arms around Jordan's neck while he wraps his arms around her waist.

Unknown to them, Bill and Jill are witnessing their daughter's first kiss from the living room entrance. They smiled widely as Bill puts his arm on his wife's shoulder.

20 seconds later, Riley and Jordan pulled away and stared at each other with deep blushes and smiled lightly as they walked away from the mistletoe.

Later that night, after Riley's grandparents and friends left, Riley went to bed while her parents clean up whatever is left of the party.
