CPOV

Today is Christmas and my eyes pop open with exhilaration. Not since I was a kid have I been more thrilled for Christmas. But I'm mostly excited about Ana getting her gifts. I know she'll love the first one from me, but I'm hoping the second doesn't upset her too much or that she finds it offensive. She's still fast asleep on my chest so I slowly slide out from under her, cover her with the blankets, and kiss her soft cheek. I put on a shirt and walk out to the kitchen to make us some breakfast. Gail and Jason left yesterday morning after they got their gifts. They were so shocked that Ana got them gifts, but I knew she would do something so considerate for them. As I'm mixing some eggs, I see small arms wrap around me from behind and instantly grin.

"Merry Christmas baby," I say, trying not to moan from her body rubbing up against mine. She kisses my back and I have to quickly picture Elliot in a G-string like I have so many times before. You will not believe how hard it has been not to become aroused when we touch. On multiple mornings I've had to turn onto my stomach, jamming my dick into the mattress and wait until my morning wood went away so I wouldn't scare or embarrass her and myself. She walks around me and comes to my front so I can see her beautiful face.

"Merry Christmas," she lips. I pull her into me and kiss the top of her head. Again I get lost in the feeling of her and nearly burn breakfast. She snickers and fries the rest of the eggs while I get the sausage prepared along with slices of toast. After everything is done we sit at the island and go over the plan for the meal we're making. Luke comes stumbling out to the kitchen, clearly not a morning person.

"Merry Christmas Luke."

"Merry Christmas to you two. Do I have a plate of breakfast?"

"Nope all you get is toast," Ana teases. He gives her a pitiful look until she smiles her wonderful smile. "It's in the microwave you silly." After we all talk about the meal preparations, we get dressed and gather back in the kitchen to cook. Who would have guessed Luke knows how to cook.

The table is set and looks amazing with food placed all over. I'm dressed in a white business shirt with a black and dark green stripped vest and dark grey dress pants. Luke is wearing a red shirt with a tie with a snowman and black pants. Ana comes out of her room wearing dark jeans and a mint sweater with a scoop neck that gives a glance of her flawless shoulders.

"Gorgeous baby." She blushes a beautiful pink just as the elevator arrives. Out scrambles everyone, grabbing us for hugs. After we place the presents under the tree we head to the table.

"This looks amazing Christian," Mom praises.

"Thanks but I didn't do this by myself." I beam at Ana who flushes again.

"Hey what am I? Fat from a steak," Luke protests.

"Of course he helped too."

"Well I'm not just a pretty face." We laugh and I see Mia give him a kiss on the cheek. I glance over and see Mom wipe her eyes and I'm sure she's just happy to see all of her children happy.

"Christian, why don't you lead us in prayer today," Dad suggests.

"Oh okay." We join hands and I feel Ana's thumb run over my hand. "Heavenly Father, we thank you for the food we are about to eat. We pray other families will be fortunate like ours and have a blessed meal too. We pray that you will bless those who cannot be with family this year like the soldiers serving over seas. We ask that you be with us when we're faced with the trials of life today, tomorrow, and for our days to come. In your name we pray, Amen."

After eating and hours of laughing like we did at Thanksgiving, we gather around the tree and open presents. Everyone loves the gifts especially the ones Ana gave them. I love my scarf the most because she made it. She has one tiny box left to unwrap from me. She opens it and spots a car key. She looks at me wide eyed and leaps from the floor and grabs my hand. We head into the elevator where she bounces on the balls of her feet.

"If you don't like the color we can always return it," I tell her, as her eyes grow even wider. We finally arrive and she uses the key bob to locate her car. We turn the corner and see her light blue Chevrolet Camaro. She raises her hand and covers her mouth. The others have joined us now and admire the car as well. I look down at her and see tears are falling down her face. Now she is truly free from Isaac and her past. I wipe her face and kiss her eyes. This beautiful 22 year old in front of me is so grateful for everything she gets, her humbleness is something to be admired. She cups my face and looks into my eyes once more.

"I don't know what I did to deserve you. Thank you so much." She circles her arms around my neck and I revel in the warmth of her body, forgetting everyone is still here until I hear Elliot cough. We all cram into the elevator and head back upstairs.

"Bro, we should go sledding in the nearby park," Elliot comments.

"Oh yes please," Mia begs.

"Sounds great to me since we're all dressed appropriately. Mom, Dad, do you want to come with us?"

"That will have to be a no son. My knees can't handle those slopes like they use to. We'll just hang around the apartment if that's alright with you so we can be here for leftovers," Dad states.

"Sounds like a plan."

We gather in the SUV with inflatable sleds in the back and drive to the park with the steepest hills. There's no one around so it's a perfect day for sledding. Snow lightly flies around us as we laugh and squeal sliding down the hills. The six of us might be in our twenties but we couldn't care less if we look ridiculous right now. This has been the funnest Christmas I've had in years and I know it's because of Ana. Her warming personality is contagious, just like her smile. We have snow fights against Luke with Mia, and Kate with Elliot and build snowmen and snowwomen. As I watch her run through the snow back to the car, with her cheeks pink from the cold, I just admire her beauty and think back to where she was a month ago. She catches my eyes and gathers her bottom lip between her teeth as she blushes under my gaze and I think I fall in love with her deeper than I was about a minute ago.

We enjoy another meal with my parents, partaking in the delicious leftovers. Afterwards they gather us in hugs and wish us well on our flight tomorrow morning before departing. Since we're going together. Kate, Mia, and Elliot stay over so we can head out bright and early in the morning. Ana is sitting on the bed while I brush my teeth and have a minor panic attack about giving her the last gift. I take deep breaths before heading out into the bedroom and grabbing the silver box from my drawer. I walk and kneel before her.

"I wanted to give you this in private. Before you open it I want you to know I have a guy in the imaging department who did some digging…and well some of them on here are real where others are, fixed. But if you don't like it, please tell me baby because you don't have to keep it if you hate it." She rubs her knuckles against my cheek and my nervousness disappears.

"I highly doubt I will ever hate anything you give me." I grin as I place the box in her hands, holding my breath to see her reaction.
