Robin sat curled up with Patrick watching as the people of Port Charles celebrated Christmas. It seemed like magic. Like everything was set in place for one day. A day of peace and love.
"Are you going to tell me where we are going?" Robin asked.
"Just look ahead." Patrick said. Robin moved to see in front of the sleigh. The town square was all decked out. Several people were standing there in red and green outfits. Henry drove the sleigh to the edge of the park. Robin was looking around. "Ok, we will see you in an hour and a half." Patrick said to Henry. "My lady things await us." Patrick stepped out of the sleigh and took Robin's hand and helped her down. "The square wasn't decorated last night?' Robin said.
"I know, I paid some very good people to decorate it for this morning. Come on." Patrick took her hand and they walked down the steps and entered the square. A group at the far end started singing.

When the song finish Robin was blushing red, but clapped loudly and the singers smiled. Robin noticed some school buses pulling up.
"We need to go change." Patrick said taking Robin into one of the tents.
"We're playing Santa and Mrs. Clause?" Robin said.
"Yep, the cutest ever." Patrick said. "Come on the kids are waiting." They changed into the customs.
"So tell me Santa how did we get roped into this?" "The man that runs this every year is in GH. He was sad because they thought it wouldn't happen. You know me and my soft heart, I offered to do this. He is being released by dad in an hour to take over, but we are starting it. It is really simple. All the kids parents have filled out these cards and we call the name and the kids come up and get the gifts"
"Patrick this was really sweet of you. Come on." Robin said.
"God, Mrs. Clause you look amazing." "Be nice Santa and we will play later." Robin said leading him out of the tent. Everyone cheered as they made their way to the stage.
An hour later kids were coming up and getting their presents and smiling. One little girl started crying because she thought Santa forgot her so Patrick gave her a big hug and said. "Santa could never forget a girl a pretty as you." "She smiled and kissed his cheek.
"Thank you Santa." She said and ran back to her parents. Noah arrived with the man and Robin and Patrick excused themselves so the singers could sing and Mr. and Mrs. Jennings could take over passing out the rest.
"Thanks for doing this." Mr. Jennings said.
"It was our pleasure." Patrick said. "I am glad these kids are having a great Christmas"
"That is thanks to you." Mrs. Jennings said. "You and your dad donated all that money so this could happen. These kids wouldn't have a Christmas other wise." "Ok, I have to meet Bobbie. I will see you later." Noah said and left.
Mr. And Mrs. Jennings took the places and Robin and Patrick changed back into the clothes and headed out. Henry was waiting for them at the place they dropped them off. They climbed back in. "To the next address." Patrick said and Henry set off.
Robin smiled and looked at Patrick. "You are amazing. Helping out those kids." Robin said. "You seem to surprise me every day." "I plan on surprising you every day." Patrick said lightly kissing her. "I love you"
"I love you too." Robin said.
