The remainder of the month went along rather merry and cheerful for the Ghostbusters.
Except for on day, December 12th, which of course was the hardest day for Abby, as it was the anniversary of her Father's accident.
On that day, Abby went down to the cemetray to visit her Dad.
After a bit of walking, she found his burial spot with a tombstone reading, "Daniel Michael Yates
Beloved son, Husband, Father
Forever in our hearts."
Tears began to fill Abby's eyes as she placed an object onto the burial plot, which was a pointsetta flower.
Usually she would leave a sunflower or two to brighten up the area, but since it was Christmas, Abby made an exception.
She also placed a small envople containing a note saying what she has been up to, along with how much she loves and misses her Dad, which Abby has done since the day after his funeral.
After kneeling down, Abby touched the stone, bowed her head and sat quietly for a few moments, then got back up and said,"Thanks Daddy, for everything."
And after wiping her eyes, she left.

A short time later, Abby returned to the firehouse.
Holtzmann, who was explaining the story of Hanuakkah to Patty and Erin, who was fixing a decoration that Kevin knocked over by accident, stopped what they were doing to greet her.
"Hi Abby, you doing alright today?" asked Erin.
"You OK Abby?" asked Patty.
"Anything we can do for you?" asked Holtzmann.
"Guys relax I'm OK, said Abby,I mean I'm a bit sad today but I think I'm going to make through."

Just then, a bright light shone through out the firehouse.
The exact thing that happened the other night with Abby.
And once again appearing before everyone was Abby's Father.
"Dad you came back," said Abby, looking into the face of the spirit.
"Yes.
I wanted to say how proud I am of you Abigail, said the spirit of Daniel Yates, Not only did you save the lives of all your friends along with the city and possibly the world, but you found your Christmas spirit."
"It was all thank to you."
"You did this on your own Abigail.
You went deep into your heart and found it yourself."
"Still I won't be able to if it wasn't for you."
The spirit of Daniel Yates turned to a some-what still surprised looking Erin,Holtzmann,and Patty and said,"Thank you, for being there for my daughter."
"She's an amazing person sir," said Erin.
"I must be leaving now."
"Dad, wait, said Abby, Can I give you one last hug?"
"Of course."
As she hugged the spirit, Abby whispered with tears in her eyes, I love you Daddy and thank you."
After letting go, Daniel Yates, said"Remember I'll always be with you.
I love you my sweet Abigail."
And with that, the spirit and the bright lighted color in the room disaapeared.
Holtzmann,Erin and Patty formed a group hug around their fellow Ghostbuster and friend.

The next day, Abby was back to her old self along with her Christmas spirit.
In fact, not even Jennifer Lynch's dry-cleaning bill spoiled her nor the other Ghostbusters moods.
The group did make the papers again, but this time they were praised for visiting the kids at the children's hospital.

On the day before the eve of Christmas Eve, all four Ghostbusters and Kevin had a little holiday celebration as the next day, they were all going their seprate ways for Hanuakkah/Christmas but had planned on getting back together on Dec 28th to get back to work, plus they were invited by Mayor Bradley to attend his New Year's ball.
Not to work, but as guests, much to the dismay of Jennifer Lynch no doubt.
Everyone had a great time of just talking about their holiday plans, laughing, and enjoying a meal consiting of hot wings, pizza and cupcakes(a surprise on the house treat from Buttercup Bakery.)

As the party was winding down, it was time to do a gift exchange.
Kevin had gotten each of the Ghostbusters silvery picture frames with a photo of him and his dog Mike Hat wearing matching Santa hats.
Erin of course had planned on keeping that photo in the frame all year round(while the others had secretly plan on changing the picture.)
Kevin also got gifts from the Ghostbusters.
A few pairs of novolty socks from Abby, Erin gave him a few ties(in colors that would make his eyes stand out), a NYC guide book and maps from Patty and comical sticky notes with matching pens from Holtzmann.
Being busy with calls, the team decided to do a secret Santa exchange, which was actually Abby's idea.
"Thanks Patty, these are awesome, said Holtzmann, as she recieved a new pair of goggles, sun glasses and a few cans of her favorite pringle chips, I feel bad because I only got you one gift."
"Thanks OK Holtzy whatever it is I'll love it," said Patty who was a bit nervous to know what exactly her friend gotten her.
After Holtzmann handed her a small box, Patty opened it and saw it was the exact same gold plated name necklace she had.
"I felt bad after that ghost ate yours, so I got you a replacment," said Holtzmann.
"Holtzy, you surprise me and this was a great one.
Thanks baby," said Patty giving her fellow Ghostbuster a hug.
"Thanks Abby, this is just what I needed," said Erin, after reciving a day planner and a pen with her itials on it.
Erin then gave Abby her gift.
It was the exact same notebook and matching pen set that Erin had planned on giving Abby when they were teens.
"How did find this?" asked Abby with a smile on her face.
"Everything old is new again," Erin answered.
"This is a great gift thank you."
The party was conculded by everyone raising a glass of eggnog and wishing one another an very happy and healthy holiday.
After the toast was made, Kevin tapped Erin on the shoulder, which made her turn around and with notice, he gave her a kiss and said,"Merry Christmas," as they were both standing under miseltoe.
Of course, Erin remained on cloud nine the rest of the day.

On Dec 28th, The team and Kevin returned back to the firehouse after a short, but enjoyable holiday break.
Everyone said they had a wonderful time, especially Abby, who had a real Christmas for the first time in years.
Abby made a personal promise to herself to always keep the feeling of happiness and joy of Christmas with her not during the holidays but all year around thanks to her Father's spirit, her family, friends and of course her team of Ghostbusters.

The End
