JBCFlyers19 prompt: I would love to have a followup chapter for opening the presents and dinner, maybe with a few surprise guests showing up... You know Max can't miss his granddaughters first Christmas...

Well, since you asked . . . .

Oh, I thought I would mention, this story is pure Fluff.

Thank you for the wonderful reviews. You are all very kind.

I don't own Bones. If I did we would have had a Christmas Episode and in February a Booth and Brennan Valentines Day Episode. Sigh. . . . . .

Oooooooooooooooooooooooo

Sitting on the floor, with Christine sitting between his legs, Booth helped Christine open a present. Seeing the plush basketball, Booth exclaimed, "Look Christine, it's a basketball. When you get old enough, I'm going to get you a real one and I'm going to put a hoop over the garage door and we're going to play hoops all of the time."

Christine, seeing the ball, pulled it in to her hands and tried to suck on it. Booth, laughing, turned to Brennan, "Ok, you get the first point, she did what you said she'd do."

Smiling, Brennan handed Booth another present for Christine, "Oh look, Sweetheart, this one is from Mommy". Prepared for anything, Booth tore the paper open to reveal a Sophie the Giraffe Teether.

"Oh, man that's great. A giraffe."

Nodding, Brennan replied, "It's a teething aide."

Pulling the basketball from Christine's hand's, Booth gave her the giraffe. "Here you go Sweetheart. This is something you can sink those two teeth into."

Grabbing the giraffe, Christine squealed.

Proud, Brennan exclaimed, "I told Angela that she would enjoy a present like that."

Seeing the look of pride on Brennan's face, Booth smiled, "You did good Bones. . . . Ok, lets see what else we have."

After opening numerous presents, consisting of clothes, a jacket, shoes, three dolls, one stuffed rabbit and a Cookie Monster doll. Booth asked, "Is that it?"

Shaking her head, Brennan replied, "No, I have one more."

Curious, Booth waited for Brennan to hand him the present. Tearing off the paper, Booth found a Tonka Titans Fire Engine.

Looking up at Brennan, Booth exclaimed, "This is so cool. I think this is the best present here."

Shaking her head, Brennan replied, "I hope not. I have some presents for you too."

Smacking his hands together, Booth exclaimed, "Alright, bring them to me."

Laughing, Brennan carried several packages over to Booth. Picking up Christine who was gumming her giraffe, Brennan walked over to the couch and sat down.

Smiling, Booth opened each present leaving the largest present for last. Once he'd oohed and awed over his gifts of shirts, belt, boots and leather jacket, Booth pulled the big box close to him. Tearing the paper, Booth found himself staring at a Blackbird Remote Control Jet Fighter Airplane. Wowed, Booth gave Brennan his best teeth flashing smile.

"God, Bones. This is probably the best present anyone has every given me. . . . Ever.'

Proud that she had made Booth happy, Brennan remarked, "I did a lot of research and I found out that if you're a novice it isn't a problem flying it. It has a beginner's setting. Hodgins flies them as a hobby; so, you might want to talk to him about flying it."

Standing up, Booth walked over to the couch, collecting presents for Brennan along the way from under the tree. Placing them on the couch, Booth took Christine in to his arms and sat down next to Brennan.

"I don't think I have anything cool like your present Bones. I'm sorry."

Shaking her head, Brennan replied, "Don't be ridiculous Booth. You always give me lovely presents."

Opening her presents, Brennan found several blouses and a jacket. Smiling, Brennan opened the smaller presents. Surprised, Brennan found one package contained a silver and turquoise 4 strand bead necklace and in a smaller box held a Sterling silver Turquoise Baby Cuff Bracelet.

Staring intently at Brennan, Booth asked, "Are they ok?"

With tears in her eyes, Brennan leaned against Booth, "Booth . . . They're lovely. They are more than ok . . . I really like them. Thank you."

Proud, Booth smiled, "I wanted this to be a really nice Christmas . . . ."

Hearing knocking on their front door, Booth stood up, "Who the Hell thinks it's ok to bug people on Christmas Day?"

Shaking her head, Brennan replied, "Booth, it's probably one of our friends."

Shrugging his shoulders, Booth carried Christine to the front door and opened it. Once the door was opened, Booth found himself staring at Max dressed as Santa Claus.

Max, holding up his white gloved hands, called out, "Ho ho ho. Merry Christmas."

Holding the door open, Booth stared at Max.

"Come on Booth, invite me in."

Looking down at Christine who was hiding her face in his shirt, Booth replied, "Only if you take the beard off. Christine doesn't like beards. I found that out when I took her to see Santa Claus last week."

Shrugging his shoulders, Max removed his beard, "God, she must have inherited her party pooper gene from you."

Grimacing, Booth stood aside to allow Max to enter the house. Carrying a pillow case stuffed with mysterious things, Max walked in. Placing the pillow case on the floor, he held out his hands towards Christine and asked, "Can I hold my granddaughter?"

Smiling, Booth placed Christine in to Max's hands. Max, cooing at his granddaughter hugged her and remarked, "I didn't come too early so that you could open presents before I got here. If you'll check the bag, you'll find presents from me."

Picking up the bag, Booth pulled out a present for himself, one for Brennan and four for Christine. Carrying them over to Brennan, Booth sat down and placed the boxes on the coffee table.

Max carrying his granddaughter to the other couch, sat down. "I made sure I took care of business last night so I'd be here today. I'm free all day. I was wondering if I could hang out with you today."

Considering it, Booth finally smiled, "Sure Max. The more the merrier."

Relieved, Max replied, "Thanks Booth. Open my presents."

Picking up the boxes, Booth handed Brennan's present to her and then opened his. Lifting the lid off of the small box, Booth found a slip of paper. Opening it, Booth found a carefully written note: This is good for babysitting services. Anytime you need it. Let me know. Can be used as many times as you want."

Smiling, Booth handed the note to Brennan, "Thanks. I mean it Max."

Placing the note on the couch next to her, Brennan opened her box. In it she found another piece of paper: Good for dinner. Anytime you'd like me to cook dinner, call me. I will come over and cook for you. Can be used as often as you need it. Unlimited requests are encouraged."

Smiling, Brennan smiled, "Thank you, Dad. This is very considerate of you. I love your present."

Beaming, Max pointed to the other boxes, "Open Christine's presents."

Reaching over, Booth picked up each present and opened them. Smiling, Booth found four Disney movies. "Hey, movies."

Nodding his head, Max replied, "I know you like movies; so, I bought movies that I thought you and Christine can watch together. Russ and Amy said the girls love those."

Studying each movie, Booth then handed them to Brennan to look at. Brennan seeing Nemo, exclaimed, "Oh, I've seen this one. It is very good."

Staring at Max kissing Christine, Booth exclaimed, "Merry Christmas Max."

Looking at his granddaughter then Booth and Brennan, Max smiled, "Merry Christmas. God I hope we have a better year this coming year than we did this year."

Shrugging his shoulders, Booth replied, "It will be Max. My family is home with me and everyone is safe and happy. We're going to have a great new year."

Ooooooooooooooooooooooo

Hope you liked it. Let me know. Thanks.

A/N: I googled the toys; so, just in case you need to know, I don't work at a toy store and I don't own stock in any toy companies or Disney.
