"Did you finish your letter to Santa?" Thomas asked.

"Yep!" Maci said with a head nod. "And I've been really good this year!"

"Me too!" Kaci cheered, licking her envelope closed. "So hopefully Santa brings me that dungeon I've been wanting."

Thomas groaned internally. Yeah, well, Toys R Us doesn't sell dungeons.

"Where's your letter, Dad?" Kaci asked.

"Don't have one." he said. "I've already got everything I need right here."

But Kaci disagrees as she shakes her head. "You don't have a dungeon."

"Why would I need a dungeon?"

Kaci shrugged. "Why don't you need a dungeon?"

Thomas sighed, pinching his nose. "I see you're point."

Maci giggled. "Kaci, you're going to make Dad's head explode."

Kaci smiled. "We can always put it in the dungeon."

"I wanna put the Star on top of the tree!" Kaci cheered.

"What about me?" Maci pouted. "She always put the star on the tree."

Minho sighed. This always happens, every year they fight over who gets to place the last ornament on top of the tree. Usually, he waits until they're off somewhere playing, not paying attention so he can just hang it up himself. But unfortunately, they seemed to have noticed it's the only thing left to decorate.

But before Minho could break up their bickering, Thomas appeared. "Why don't you both do it?"

Thomas was a lifesaver.

The two girls halted in their argument, sharing a look between the two, before shrugging in response. "Okay."

"Come here, Kaci." Thomas said, as he picked up the giggling six year old. "Minho…." Thomas trailed off.

"Oh, right." he said, as he picked up the golden star and then picked Maci up. "Okay, both of you take the star in your hands, and place it ontop of the tree together." So, Thomas and Minho raised the girls up, and together they placed the star on top of the tree. Only it was a little crooked, so Minho had to fix it a bit.

Once they put the girls down, they stared up at the tree. "Maci, why don't you go turn off the lights." Minho said.

"And then you two can turn the tree on." Thomas added.

The two girls squealed in delight. This was always their favorite part. Maci ran around the corner and flipped off all the lights, which made Minho and Thomas laugh since she really only needed to turn off the kitchen and living room lights. Kaci ran around the tree and pulled the cord out so that they could flip the switch on it.

"Okay! All the lights are off!" Maci cheered, her head bobbing up and down excitedly.

"Okay, you can turn the tree on." Thomas said.

The two girls took the the light switch in their hand and turned on the tree. Immediately the tree lit up, bright reds and greens twinkling in the room. The tree was filled with bright, colorful ornaments and flavored candy canes all around. Everyone made their own ornament as well, that hung in various places around the tree. Kaci even placed a fairy wand somewhere on the tree. The star on top of the tree was lit up too, all bright and glittery.

"So pretty." Kaci commented.

"Santa better like it." Maci mumbled.

"Glad we decided to get a bigger tree this year." Minho commented.

"Is that a princess wand?" Thomas asked.

Kaci giggled. "No! It's clearly a fairy wand!"

"Is there a difference?" he asked.

"Yes." everyone replied, including Minho. Thomas gave him a sideways glance.

Minho shrugged. "What? I pay attention to these things."

"Can we put the presents under the tree now?" Maci asked excitedly.

"Sure." Thomas said. "Hey, where's Staci?"

"Woof!"

Minho laughed. She was sitting under the tree, dressed up as an elf, and gnawing on a candycane. "Can dogs eat…"

"It's a dog chew toy." Thomas explained. "I gave her one so that she wouldn't attempt to eat a real candycane."

Minho only nodded. "Okay….presents!"

"Yay!" the girls cheered as everyone left the living room to retrieve presents. One by one, they all placed various gifts under the tree, some small boxes, some huge, some gift bags, and of course a couple of stockings.

"I have a bag for Staci!" Kaci cheered as she placed it under the tree. "I think she'll like it."

"Woof!" she started to sniff in the bag.

"Staci!" Kaci whined. "Shoo!"

She just wagged her tail.

"Hard headed." Kaci muttered.

"Where'd you learn that word?" Thomas asked, withholding a laugh.

"Daddy." she said with a shrug.

Thomas turned to his husband, who only shrugged. "At least she didn't call her a shank."

"Minho!" Thomas said, slapping his arm, at the same time the girls squealed "Daddy!"

"Coal!" Thomas said. "You get coal for Christmas!"

Minho pouted. "What am I supposed to do with coal?"

Thomas shrugged. "Put it in the dungeon."
