Gabriel sighed and threw himself on the couch to next to the tallest man and complained, "How are we supposed to celebrate Christmas if there is no snow?"

Castiel squinted at his brother and spoke up from his spot across the room, "It is only the second day of December, and Christmas is 23 days away. There is plenty of time for it to snow before Christmas merriments."

Gabriel laughed at his brother, "No Cas, the Christmas activities don't just happen the day of, you celebrate Christmas all month! There are things like tree shopping, ice skating, decorating, caroling, seeing the lights, etc. But it's no fun without snow to set the mood."

Kevin looked up from the book he had been reading, "Well you're angels, can't you take us to a place where there is snow?"

Gabriel's face lit up and a devilish smile flashed across his face. Everyone stared at the man for a moment before he spoke, "To Canada!"

All the humans in the room yelled as Gabriel snapped his fingers. Seconds later everyone was knee deep in powder white snow. A great storm was blowing all around them making it hard for them to see each other across the mere five feet in between them all. Kevin, Sam and Dean all wrapped their arms around themselves to try and stop themselves from freezing seeing as they were all only wearing pants and short-sleeve shirts.

Teeth chattering, Dean glared at the older angel, "G-G-Gabriel, t-take us b-b-back."

Gabriel grinned sheepishly and snapped his fingers again. When they landed they were all wearing coats, boots, scarves and hats, and they had landed just on the outskirts of a small, calm town covered with snow. It looked like Chistmas town just out of a story book. Sam and Kevin ran forward eagerly wanting to see everything. Dean looked around excitedly but kept himself together. Cas and Gabe stayed in the back smiling and admiring the sights.

There was a candy and toy shop on the right along with fresh produce shop that was closed for the season. There were several rows of houses lining the city, surrounding the city center which had a large tree decorated with everything you could imagine. Kevin and Sam were currently conversing about the tree.

Gabriel walked up to them and grinned, "A story book Christmas. Fair warning though, I don't think we are in the same time period."

Castiel glared at his brother, "Gabriel, you know we aren't supposed to go back in time. It messes up the time line."

Dean threw his arm around the short angel, "Aww, come on Cas. It'll be fun. Besides," he looked over towards his brother, "Look at how happy Sam is."

Castiel looked at Dean. The happiness on his face as he watched his brother scrambled Cas's thoughts. He looked at the arm on his shoulders and blushed. Finally he looked down at the ground to hide his face and he fought to speak, "I guess.. A few hours couldn't… hurt."

Dean whooped and joined his brother and the young prophet as they walked around the city admiring the decorations. Gabriel joined his brother and put his arm around Cas like Dean had just moments ago.

"Ah, the soft spot of an angel in love," Gabriel whispered grinning.

Castiel glared at his brother and pushed his arm off, walking swiftly to catch up with their humans. Gabriel followed him, laughing all the way. Castiel and Gabriel followed around the three easily entertained humans as they explored the stores, the tree, had a mini snowball fight, and watched the carolers. They stopped for a minute in a small shop to grab a bite to eat; by then hours had passed and Castiel spoke up once again.

"I really think that we should head back. It should be night soon in our time and we don't want to make a tear in the fabric of time by being here too long."

Dean, Kevin and Gabriel all had their mouths open, ready to complain, but Sam interrupted them all. "I agree with Cas, we've had a ton of fun today, but honestly something really bad could happen if we're here too long."

Dean and Gabriel couldn't argue with Sam and Cas both being on the same side, but Kevin pouted in his seat. After they had finished eating, they gathered in a location just out of sight of the inhabitants of the village.

They landed just outside the door of the bunker and when they all opened their eyes they stared in awe at the little white flakes falling from the sky. They all smiled and looked up at the sky. The sun had just finished setting and a thin layer of clouds covered the sky. Every flake that hit the ground stuck, and soon there would be a thin layer of snow on the ground.

Gabriel, Kevin and Sam ran around the "yard" in front of the bunker trying to catch a flake or two. Everyone was laughing and having a great time. After half an hour the snow began to fall harder, and a few inches had gathered across the entire yard. Kevin was able to reach down and gather up enough snow to make a snowball and chuck it at Dean. Dean, in turn, finally ran out into the yard to tackle the boy.

Castiel watched happily as Dean tackled Kevin and they wrestled for a minute. Gabriel was trying to build a snow fort, without much luck, and Sam was standing leaning against a tree. Castiel walked through the yard to join him as the other three continued to play.

Sam greeted the angel as he drew closer, "Hey Cas, how's it going?"

"I am well," Castiel stated, "It is great that everyone seems to be enjoying themselves."

"It's always been Dean and I's favorite day." Sam stated.

"Christmas?" Castiel asked.

Sam smiled, "Nah. The day of the first fall of snow for the season."

Castiel looked around at all the smiles on his friend's and family's faces. They were all wind chilled and rosy, but everyone seemed happy. He looked back at Sam and nodded, "I think it is my favorite day as well."
