(A/N: Here's a little Stenny. Completely platonic.)
Going Christmas shopping together was always an annual tradition of Stan and Kenny. Every year, exactly ten days before Christmas, the two went out together to get all their shopping done.
Every year, Stan would silently watch as Kenny looked at stuff he knew was much too expensive for him to buy for his family. Kenny would do it every year, and then he'd smile at Stan to show he wasn't bothered by it, even though he really was.
Stan would always look down at his wallet, stuffed full of bills, then at Kenny. Stan would offer to give Kenny some money, as a Christmas gift. Kenny would then shake his head no. The only thing he hated more than not having money was taking it from his friends.
Every year, shortly after Kenny and Stan's annual disagreement, Stan would "accidentally" bump into Kenny. They'd both brush it off with small laughs, and by accusing the other of getting a boner from it.
Then, usually at one of the less expensive stores, Kenny would reach into his pocket to pay for his purchases. He'd feel that there were more bills in his pocket then there were before. Kenny would give Stan an accusing glare, and Stan would respond with a confused look. Kenny would pay for his purchases, and when they came out of the store, Kenny would verbally accuse Stan of slipping the money in his pocket.
Stan would smirk a little and deny it. Kenny would then demand to know where the extra cash came from. Stan would say that he had no idea, that Kenny must have miscounted how much he had.
Kenny would just shrug, and quit questioning Stan. The two would finish up their shopping, their only conversation being about what they thought certain friends or family members would like.
Every year, it was the same. It was a tradition both of them managed to keep for a long time.
