"Oh come on Joe! Don't be so cold hearted!" Kari said.

It was already two days; both Gatomon and Wizardmon were fine. Well, Wizardmon's back would hurt occasionally but he was careful.

"I'm not being cold hearted, I'm doing my job," Joe said.

"You're not like the person we used to know," Sora said, turning her back to him.

Joe sighed, slapping his hand to his forehead, "You guys want me fired, huh?"

"Joe…they're Digimon, they're used to being in pain…" Tai said.

"Fine, but if I get fired for this I blame you," Joe said, turned away and left.

"He's been very…different, huh?" TK said.

"Yeah, he's just stressed…it's a hard job," Kari said, "Anyway let's go tell them they can go."

The four of them walked into the room that the small digi family were kept in.

Wizardmon was playing with Purmon, who tended to want to reach up for his hat a lot, and Gatomon was watching them happily.

Gatomon was first to notice the four walk in, "Well…what'd he say?"

"Yes, although he wasn't very happy about letting you go," Tai answered.

"Well that's Doctor Joe for you," Gatomon said.

"Yeah, regular Joe is our friend, Doctor Joe is a different story," Sora said, giggling somewhat as she found the point Gatomon made.

"Well," Gatomon said, jumping off her bed, "Let's get going Wizardmon."

"Just a moment," Wizardmon said, trying to get Purmon to let go of his hat.

"We're home," Kari said as she walked in first, taking off her shoes.

"Welcome home, honey," Mrs. Kamiya said from the kitchen, she was making cookies.

Mr. Kamiya was on the couch reading the newspaper.

TK followed and soon Tai, Sora, Wizardmon, and Gatomon carrying Purmon.

"Mom," Tai said, "Why don't you come out and meet the new addition to the family."

"Oh yes, where's the little angel?" Mrs. Kamiya said, putting down her rolling pin and wiping her hands on her apron.

Gatomon stood there with Purmon, who seemed more interested in the big Christmas tree behind Gatomon and not any of the others.

"She's so tiny! It's adorable, she looks just like you!" Mrs. Kamiya said, bending down to Gatomon and patting the kitten on the head. Mr. Kamiya took his attention off of the newspaper and bent down to Gatomon also. Purmon turned to the two adults, her face showing a questioning look at to what she was looking at.

"Now would you look at that," Mr. Kamiya said, "She's got the father's eyes; always a wonderful thing to have the father's eyes."

"What are you talking about, dad?" Tai said, shaking his head.

"Well everyone, get comfortable, you all must be cold…here let me make some hot chocolate, or…does anyone want coffee?"

Everyone shook their head no; they were more in the mood for something sweet anyway.

"Oh yes, I almost forgot," Mrs. Kamiya said, taking a turn before entering the kitchen, "I got something for you Gatomon."

"Me?" Gatomon asked.

Mrs. Kamiya nodded, and went into a room but soon came out with a pink blanket.

"We bought it the other day when we heard that you had the kitten. We figured since you're a cat, you'd want a comfortable and warm spot to feed your kitten."

Gatomon nodded, "Yeah, that's true."

Mrs. Kamiya placed the blanket in the middle of the living room, "It's also not just and ordinary blanket, but it heats up too."

"It's very soft," Gatomon said, sitting on it and placing Purmon on it.

Purmon crawled around on the blanket, enjoying the fuzzy feeling on her front paws and knees. Everyone laughed at her cuteness. Wizardmon bent down with Gatomon, she looked up at him with a smile then turned to the adult Kamiyas.

"Thank you, thanks a lot," Gatomon said.

"Oh it's alright, anything for you," Mrs. Kamiya said, going back to her kitchen.

"Yeah, you've taken great care of our sweet daughter and we have yet to really pay you back," Mr. Kamiya said.

Eventually mostly everyone was in the living room. Sora was sitting the rocking chair, knitting a sock.

"Sora, I told you we can buy socks," Tai said.

"Well I like to knit," Sora said.

Tai sighed, and rolled his eyes, then turned his attention back to football on the TV.

Kari and TK were in the bedroom, looking at all the pictures Kari had taken but Kari was already planning to take more.

Wizardmon wasn't really watching, he didn't like sports, but sat near Gatomon and watched her sleep happily as Purmon was eating again. He smiled as Purmon made a slight snorting noise from the enjoying of her mother's milk.

Mrs. Kamiya was humming to herself in the kitchen and reading a magazine, waiting for the cookies she had made to finish cooking.

Soon the smell of fresh cookies filled most of the house, Kari, TK, and Patamon were soon out of the bedroom; and most of the others were out of their sitting place.

"Aren't you going to come have some cookies, Wizardmon deary?" Mrs. Kamiya asked.

Wizardmon shook his head, "No, I'll stay here with these two, thank you anyway."

"Oh, alright," Mrs. Kamiya said, taking a seat and said to the others at the table, "Such a wonderful Digimon and husband."

"He's not a husband mom, more like…lover," Tai said.

"Well you'll never be close to a better lover than Wizardmon," Kari said.

Tai rolled his eyes, "Do you think I even tend to?"

"Don't start a fight you two, we have Digimon sleeping over there," Mr. Kamiya said.

Tai and Kari shut up; they didn't want to wake up anyone anyway.

Tai, Mr. Kamiya, and TK pulled out boxes from a closet in the computer room; inside the boxes were many decorations. Colorful lights, just normal ones, or just green ones, or red, or blue, as many colors as you could name.

"Honey, we need to stop buying lights," Mr. Kamiya said as he, his children, TK and Patamon untangled them all.

"Nonsense, it's fun to collect," Mrs. Kamiya said smiling.

Purmon watched everyone with much curiosity.

"Hey I found the star!" Sora said after searching one of the boxes, "Wizardmon or Patamon, can one of you two get that?"

"I'm kinda…busy at the moment," Patamon said, trying to untangle himself from the grasp of colorful Christmas lights.

"I'll get it," Wizardmon said and took the star from Sora, flew up to the top of the tree and placed it on their gently.

"Hey mom," Tai said, "Did you ever buy any candy canes?"

"Yeah, I did, I hid them so your dad wouldn't eat them," Mrs. Kamiya said as she went to her room.

"I wonder where she hid them this time," Kari said.

Mrs. Kamiya soon returned with two boxes of candy canes, "I hid them in my desk drawer; you know I keep it locked."

"Damn! I knew I should've gotten a second key for me for that drawer!" Mr. Kamiya said.

Purmon watched as Mrs. Kamiya walked over to the tree and sat the boxes of candy canes down. Purmon crawled over to the boxes and poked them.

"No, no, little one," She said and picked her up, "We have to put the lights and garland on first."

Purmon cocked her head to the side, and stuck her paw in her mouth instead.

Mrs. Kamiya smiled, and placed Purmon next to her mother.

Gatomon was deciding which of the decorations they should choose. She pulled out a box of assorted ornaments, when she opened it some where broken.

"Oh, that's a shame," she said and sighed, put them to the side and looked for some that weren't broken.

Purmon was still very curious to what was going on; she hoped her mother knew something. So she mewed for attention.

"Oh, what is it Purmon?" Gatomon said, picking her up and setting her in her lap.

Purmon tried to look into the box, but Gatomon pulled her down.

"No, Purmon, there's glass in there."

Purmon's ears dropped.

"Here," Gatomon said, getting up and taking Purmon over to Wizardmon, "You go with daddy."

Wizardmon was fixing to put up the garland, but when he picked up one he felt a tug.

Wizardmon smiled and bent down, "Let go, please Purmon."

Purmon liked this "garland", it was very fuzzy; yet she did as her father said and let go.

Wizardmon picked Purmon up, holding her in one arm and used the other to put up the garland. He started from the top and slowly flew down as he wrapped it around the tree.

"You always do so beautifully at putting the garland up, deary," Mrs. Kamiya said.

Wizardmon only nodded.

"So," Patamon said, "Anyone going to help me?"

TK laughed, "I'll help you there buddy."

TK crawled over the tangled up lights and boxes, tripping half way, and started to undo the mess Patamon had made all over himself.

"I don't know how you did this," TK said, as he tried to get some that were tightly knotted around his ear.

"Ow," Patamon winced.

"Sorry," TK said, "Wow it's on their tight; I think we'll have to cut it off."

"We can't cut them TK we won't be able to use those then," Kari said.

"Don't you guys have plenty of other colorful lights?"

"Yeah that's true," Kari said then turned to her parents, "Just these, ok mom?"

"Alright," she said, sighing and went into the kitchen to get a pair of scissors.

"Which lights are we using?" Wizardmon asked, as he tried to get Purmon to let go of the garland again.

"Well, we're using the red garland, so why don't we use the red or white lights," Mr. Kamiya said.

"How about both?" Tai said.

"That's too much, Tai," Kari said.

"Nah, we can just screw off a few of the white lights bulbs and put on red ones," Tai said.

"You're crazy," TK said as he snipped off the lights that had Patamon in a death grip.

"Don't you have lights that are already red and white?" Gatomon asked.

"Oh yeah," Mr. Kamiya said, grabbing out the last bit of lights on the bottom of the box, "We always called them the peppermint lights, remember kids?"

Mr. Kamiya elbowed Tai.

"Yeah, yeah, I remember," Tai said, trying to get his father to stop elbowing him.

"Oh," Sora said, grabbing her stomach.

"What?" Tai asked, going over to her.

"The baby kicked hard," she said, and laughed a bit.

Tai sighed, "Good, I thought it was something else."

"Don't worry," Sora said, placing a peck on his lips.

Mr. Kamiya quickly untangled the 'peppermint lights', plugged them up and handed them to Wizardmon has he wounded them around the tree.

Purmon, of course, was amazed of the beauty of the lights.

"There," Wizardmon said and then sat on the couch, "I'm taking a break, my back is hurting."

"Ok, you've done enough anyway," Mrs. Kamiya said, smiling as she opened up the box of candy canes. Purmon noticed and wanted to go to her, but Wizardmon was holding her back. She started to whine and cry.

"What's the matter?" Wizardmon asked; then noticed her arms swaying toward Mrs. Kamiya.

He laughed, "You want to help some more don't you?"

"Sheesh," Gatomon said, "A lot of these are broken. How many glass ornaments do you have?"
"Obviously a lot," Kari said, putting some lights back into the box and closing it up, "Mom likes how they shine against the lights."

"Well, you need to be more careful, every box has at least two to four broken ones in it."

"We'll just mix match," Mrs. Kamiya said.

"Yeah, just like last year's tree," Gatomon said, rolling her eyes.

Wizardmon finally set Purmon down because she was wiggling around too much. And like a rocket, Purmon crawled over to Mrs. Kamiya's feet.

"Wow, she's born about four days ago and she's already crawling this fast," Mrs. Kamiya said.

"Yeah, she's a wonder," Gatomon said, smiling.

"Know what," Mr. Kamiya said, getting up and walking over to a rack of CDs, "We need good music to get into more of a mood to decorate."

He went down a row of Christmas carols, his finger rubbing against the CD cases as it traveled down along with his eyes.

"Ah, this is a good one," he said, pulling it out and heading for their stereo. He put the CD in, pushed play, and soon bells and other instruments sounded.

Some songs were soothing that Wizardmon had fallen asleep.

"Oh," Mrs. Kamiya said as she accidentally dropped a candy cane. It dropped near Purmon, she crawled over to it and sat a paw on it.

What is this thing? Why is everyone going crazy over this stuff? And what's with the big green thing with all the pretty stuff on it?

Mrs. Kamiya picked it up, "No, no, you're too young to eat this."

Purmon cocked her head to the side again, then saw her mother coming with more ornaments. Purmon smiled and giggled.

Gatomon laughed from the noise, "What's so funny dear?"

Purmon held open her arms.

Gatomon bent down, picked her up and took her over to her father, "Stay here."

Purmon watched as her mother walked back to the "big green thing with all the pretty stuff on it" and then looked up at her father asleep. She walked over to his knees and looked down, it was too high up that it scared her. She crawled back over to her father, sitting close to his hand.

Eventually the whole tree was decorated, and it amazed Purmon even more. She clapped her paws together at the beauty.

Mrs. Kamiya laughed, "See, we've done a swell job because our judge says so."

Purmon looked out the window and saw something else that amazed her, she made a noise and stared out the window.

Everyone looked out to see what she saw, it was more snow.

Gatomon smiled, took her daughter in her arms and hugged her.

"There's so much snow we could build a family of snowmen," Kari said, pressing her face against the window and looked out.

"Sounds like fun," TK said, standing next to her.

"Lots of fun!" Patamon said, sitting on TK's head.

"I'll cook dinner," Mrs. Kamiya said, going into the kitchen.

"And I'm taking a nap," Mr. Kamiya said, sitting on the couch rather quickly that it woke up Wizardmon.

He looked around, then noticed the tree.

"It's beautiful, you guys did good," he said, then looked outside, "More snow, huh?"

Gatomon nodded, "Everyone is getting hyped up over making snowmen."

"Hey, I want another snowball fight!" Tai said, making a fist.

Sora sighed and rolled her eyes, "I think a snowman is nice, but not a snowball fight."

"Well, if we had anything to keep Purmon warm I'd go out and build a snow man with you guys," Gatomon said, sitting down next to Wizardmon and setting Purmon in her lap.

"Well, she's small so all we have to do is find doll clothing and dress her up," TK said.

"I think I have some old dolls in my closet," Kari said, and went into her bedroom. Gatomon followed.

"Wow, luckily a lot of them have rather thick clothing," Kari said as she pulled out more dolls, "How many did I collect when I was younger?"

Gatomon shrugged, "You already had many when I first met you."

Kari laughed, "True. Now, which do you like best Purmon?"

Kari held three of the best dolls in front of her, Purmon sat in front of the display and just stared.

Gatomon laughed, "How about the red one."

Kari took the jacket off and handed it to Gatomon, Gatomon slipped it on Purmon and it fit perfectly.

"Oh, this one comes with a little fluffy scarf too," Kari said and handed it to Purmon. Purmon liked the softness and played with it.

Gatomon smiled, took it from her, and put it on Purmon correctly.

"There, nothing else that we need huh?" Kari said, looking at the warmly dressed up kitten. It was actually starting to make Purmon hot and she tried to take it off.

"Come on, let's go," Gatomon said, picking Purmon up.

Everyone looked outside, many others had decided to go outside and build snowmen or have snowball fights. Tai saw a big fight going on with his neighbors and joined in. Gatomon, Wizardmon, and Purmon built their own mini-snow man, which was almost half the size of Wizardmon.

Sora went back inside, annoyed of Tai's hunger for a snowball fight and was getting cold. TK and Kari built a snowman, and Patamon gathered items for the two built snowmen.

Once everyone had their fun, and Purmon was starting to get tired, they went inside.

"That's was a lot of fun," Kari said, cuddling close to TK in a blanket and took a sip of hot chocolate. TK nodded.

Gatomon was lying on the heated blanket again, falling asleep slowly as Purmon had her late dinner; and Wizardmon lied down behind them. Tai and Sora went back to the college, and Mr. and Mrs. Kamiya were signing Christmas cards and making a list of items they needed to get for the upcoming Christmas.

Gatomon looked at the tree, then thought for a moment and noticed something.

"Wizardmon," she started, looking up at him.

He seemed to be asleep, but opened his eyes and looked down at her, "Yes?"

"We haven't gotten anything for Purmon for Christmas yet," Gatomon said, her voice sounding ashamed.

Wizardmon smiled, "Don't worry, we'll go shopping tomorrow then."

Gatomon smiled back, "Good idea."

She put her head back down and slowly fell asleep. Eventually Kari went to bed, and TK stayed in a spare room.

Mr. and Mrs. Kamiya were fixing to go to bed till they noticed the Digimon family were still sleeping in the living room.

Mrs. Kamiya smiled, and put a warm blanket over them; not wanting to wake them up.

Before she left, she turned off the large light and left the Christmas tree lights on. The bright light shone beautifully against the sleeping faces in the living room.
