I have no idea why my parents couldn't leave me alone while they went roaming around the South. I wouldn't party! Much ;)

Christmas was a very weird time for him. Before his mom died, they used to sit next to the fireplace and sing carols for quite some time, before they unwrapped the gifts. They would then put in Christmas films one after the other and watch them, feeling cozy in their little family. After she passed away, Kurt almost didn't want to continue the celebrations, but Burt assured him that this is what she would have wanted. Kurt didn't sing the carols, especially because he felt the lack of harmonizing quite deeply, but Burt gave a holiday to the workers at the garage and they continued with the tradition of watching Christmas films. Then, if the snow wasn't too deep, they went to the garage and worked on a really messed up car, just the two of them. It was in this way that Kurt had slowly, but surely gotten the skills of a proper mechanic despite not being an adult yet.
However, when Finn and Carole were added into the equation, there was an initial confusion as they had to consider both families' traditions as opposed to adopting just one. So Burt and Kurt decided to sit down and discuss their traditions so that they could celebrate Christmas as a family. Kurt knew that he had to give up at least half of their traditions as the Hudsons would do the same. But when Burt decided to let go of the main part that he loved doing: decorating the house, to let Carole do it, he was irritated. He knew it was childish but it was a tradition with his mom and after she passed away, he did it on his own. He told his dad he was going out to meet Mercedes and drove to the coffee shop.
Coffee-Holics had been his savior for the past two weeks. Not only were they open till 2 am, the music they played was a mix of certain rock, pop and musical songs, all of which appealed to him. So he could easily sit there and finish up his homework, or even look up new sale prices for brand name clothes online. That day was a customer-heavy day because of the vacation time, but Mimi told him, "It's because of our special Christmas cookies. It's in the shape of a heart with a crease in the middle, so it can be broken easily without having to get the cookie in tiny pieces. And if you're a real cynic regarding love and all its symbolic shapes, there's the special cookie gingerbread man. I think you might like it." Kurt wanted to add a dash of positive in his life and told her to add both the cookies along with his usual. The shop was full; but as he paid for his order, he saw his usual table clear out. He went and sat down as fast as he could.
As he caught up with his friends' antics during Christmas on Facebook, he bit into the gingerbread man and felt slightly positive. And just then, he saw a shadow loom onto him. He looked up to see the brightest green eyes ever. They were beautiful and he knew he could drown in them forever. He then got his mind away from pleasant-ville and asked him, "Can I help you?"
A yummy British accent came out from the guy as he said, "Everywhere else is full. Is it okay with you if I sit here with my cocoa? I'll be out of your hair if you want me to." Kurt almost shrieked and just managed to control himself, "Of course, of course." The guy put his hand out, "I'm Harry." Kurt smiled and said, "I'm Kurt." Harry got out his phone, while Kurt went back to his laptop, while getting small glimpses of Harry from over the laptop. Little did he know, this was the start of a beautiful friendship.
