The next morning Lorelai woke up at 10:30, and ran into Rory's room. She jumped on Rory's bed, "It's Christmas! It's Christmas! And it's SNOWING!" Rory got up and ran downstairs, and Lorelai grabbed Luke, and they did the same. Rory called Dean, and he was over in a matter of minutes. Luke made coffee and by 11, they all were sitting on the living room floor, right around the tree, the girls still in their pajamas. "Okay, last night was Joke night! Now, were ready for the real stuff!" Lorelai declared. Then, many gifts were exchanged. Lorelai gave Rory, sparkly bookends, and Rory gave Lorelai a magenta furry collar for Paul Anka.
Rory gave Dean a hockey stick, since she knew how much he loved playing in the Stars Hollow League years ago. "I thought, maybe you'd start up again."
"Whoa, thanks. It's a really nice stick. Some guys at work, actually need another member for their team."
He gave her a silver bracelet, with 3 Opal stones (her birthstones) centered. "I love it!" She said, giving him a kiss.
"Try it on." He put it on her.
"It's beautiful." She said.
"I'm glad you like it."
Lorelai bought Luke a new tent.
"It's a very nice tent. Big enough for two people." He said.
"Whoa, hold on. You know I don't go camping."
"You don't think I'll be able to change your mind?" He asked. "A tent, as a Christmas gift, should come with one free camping trip from the giver."
"Well than one weekend this spring, we'll set up the tent, in the backyard."
" It's a date." Luke said.
"Awww…." Rory said.
"Save your awws, I still have to give your mom MY present." He said to Rory. He turned towards Lorelai and handed her a box, "Something, that you can wear to the wedding."
She opened the box, and found a gorgeous necklace with a large diamond snowflake hanging from it. "Oh my gosh! I love it! But Luke…how could you afford…"
"Don't worry about it."
"Put it on me! Put it on me!" Luke put it on Lorelai, and she looked in the mirror and grinned.
