A soft Christmas melody drifted through the air bringing a warm and cozy feeling to the Winchester's bunker. The Christmas tree stood proud decorated with colorful lights and ornaments, a fire crackled and hissed in the small fire place where six figures gathered around sipping eggnog and munching on gingerbread cookies. Each of them were taking turns telling Christmas stories and Gabriel had just finished telling his rendition of 'The Night Before Christmas'.
"I don't think that's how the story goes Gabe." Charlie said with giggle.
"Yeah I don't remember Santa catching on fire." Kevin inserted getting to his feet to refill his cup.
"I just made it more interesting that's all." Gabe said with a smile and took his seat again next to Sam. "You liked it, right Sammy?" he looked over at his boyfriend.
Sam gave a deep chuckle and wrapped an arm around the angel's waist, "Of course I did. It was very," Sam took a moment to look for the right word, "unique."
A grin spread across Gabe's face, "See Sam liked it! Cassie I think it's your turn!" Gabe looked at his younger brother.
"I don't know many Christmas stories." Said Cas looking down at his lap.
"Tell the story of baby Jesus." Charlie offered, "You're an angel you have to know that story at least."
A small smile crossed Castiel's lips as he stood to his feet dropping the blanket that had been wrapped around his shoulders. "Yeah I do know that one."
A groan came from Gabe, "We all know that story."
Castiel quickly shot Gabe a glare before he started the story, "Once upon a time in a land called Judea there lived a woman by the name of Mary. Mary was very good woman, she prayed and did everything a good church going woman should. She was to be married to a man by the name of Joseph, and although they both loved each other a lot, neither of them had been intimate with the other. One day an angel by the name of Gabriel came down and visited young Mary-"
"That's me!" Gabe interrupted.
Cas cleared his throat, "Please allow me to tell the story without any interruptions Gabriel."
Gabe rolled his eyes and folded his arms, "Fine fine, please continue."
"'Peace be with you! God has blessed you and is pleased with you.' Said Gabriel. Mary was very surprised by this and wondered what the angel meant. The angel said to her 'Don't be afraid, God has been very kind to you. You will become pregnant by the Holy Spirit and give birth to a baby boy and you will call him Jesus. He will be God's own Son and his kingdom will never end.' Mary was very afraid but she trusted God. 'Let it happen as God chooses.' She replied to the angel. Soon Mary told Joseph of the angel and her pregnancy and Joseph got worried. But the angel came to him in a dream and told him not to worry and to take his soon to be wife to the city of Bethlehem-"
"That was also me." Gabriel interrupted once again.
Cas sighed and shot a glare at his brother before he continued once again, "So they took off to Bethlehem, they had to go by foot and horse which was tiring for Mary while she was pregnant. Not to mention how long it will take. When they finally reached the town all the hotels were full they had no place to stay. There was an old man however who took pity on the young couple and he offered his stables for them to stay in. Both Mary and Joseph stayed in the stable and that is where baby Jesus was born. Both Mary and Joseph were so happy to have such a beautiful and healthy baby boy and they named him Jesus just as the lord had commanded. Day's later three wise men came bearing gifts for the young baby, gifts of gold and valuables. And that's the story of baby Jesus." Castiel finished and smiled at all the clapping coming from around the room.
"Great job Cas." Charlie said with a smile.
Castiel nodded at her, "Thank you." Quickly Cas took his place next to Dean and smiled.
"You're a good story teller Cas." Said Dean as he looked at the angle with shining green eyes.
A small blush crossed Cas's cheeks, "Thank you Dean, I believe it's your turn now."
Dean grinned standing to his feet and rubbing his hands together, "Alright guys I'm going to tell the story of Rudolph the Red nosed Reindeer."
"Is that the only Christmas story you know?" Sam asked with a groan.
" Yep pretty much!" Dean grinned and began his story, "Once there was a small reindeer by the name of Rudolph.."
Cas smiled as he sipped his eggnog and listened to the story of a red nosed reindeer whose nose could glow.
