AN: Sorry for depriving you all of updates. [Insert rant about real life here.] Updates have been slow lately, and will continue to be until break starts. Eleven days. I can make it eleven days, right? ...Right?
I know I said there would be no Christmas music until the first snow, which still has not happened here, but this song came up on shuffle. I am shuffle's slave, so I must do as it commands. And it demanded Christmas.
Important announcement: PenName change! Now livingondaydreams.
Annabeth/Percy
It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year by Andy Williams [2:32]
Annabeth usually likes Christmastime.
The Big House is decorated with red and yellow fireballs, magically enchanted to provide warmth without being dangerous. Hot chocolate becomes a daily ritual in the dining pavilion. Bright city lights and wreaths and Santas on street corners.
Happiness. Joy. Family. Love.
And Percy is in a hostile environment on the other side of the continent.
