Okay, so, this wasn't quite how he imagined Christmas to be when he'd invited Lois to the Kent's annual get together, but...

Ma remained content inside the warmth of her kitchen, but the game that Cassie and Conner had started had sucked the rest of the family outside, with Clark doing his best to shield Pa and Lois from the stray super-snowballs that the two love-birds are pelting each other with far too over-enthusiastically, the two non-metas ducking out from behind their guardian to hit the duo whenever they flew close enough.

Kara, wearing a sloppily self-knitted sweater and an almost evil grin, had grabbed the snowman off the front lawn and proceeded to chase the other two with its' head, laughing maniacally.

Lois swipes snow out of her hair.

"This isn't quite what I expected, Smallville," she admits.

Pa not-so-discreetly held up mistletoe.

He laughs. She gives a thumbs-up.
