Twas a long time ago (well… not really long agos… actually… nevermind), in a place where dreams do come true. For the story that you are about to be told. Began in the Magical World. It's time for our holiday tale to begin. Our tale is a tale that's quite charming, but during this season, it's sometimes wonderful. So relax and reflect, feel free to sit anywhere you want, drink some hot chocolate with marshmallows. While we tell you a tale about this wonderful holiday party.

In the House of Mouse, the guests enjoy this wonderful time of the year. Inside, the place is filled with Christmas decorations, garlands are hung, stockings are hung up in the fireplace (don't worry, it's actually electric so it's not real), huge ornaments floating above, flowers of poinsettias set on the center of the table and fresh candles that smell like peppermint fill the room.

Of course, you can't have a Christmas party without one of the most important iconic items to have, a Christmas tree. Fully decorated with ornaments, led lights, ribbons, and so much more. The presents, big and small, are all covered up in colorful wrapping paper and tied with the bows placed underneath the Christmas tree.

We see the guests enjoying the celebration. Some are spotted at the table eating and chatting, some are waltzing on the dance floor with Christmas music like Waltz of the Flower from the Nutcracker or even We Wish a Merry Christmas. If you look at the tree again, you could see the little ones shaking the presents and attempting to unwrap it only to be caught red handed by Mary Poppins who scolded them and shoo them away.

At the dessert tables, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson stood next to each other as Adam grabbed some Christmas themed shaped cookies from the table near the kitchen. "Mmm! Mm! These cookies taste so good!" Adam took a bite out of the cookie. The cyborg man dressed in this beige color suit. An white dress color with a close jacket, matching tie and pants held up with a brown belt and leather shoes.

Melanie looks at him in concern. "Do be careful dear, last time you ate, your stomach hurt and you had to be bedridden for a week." Her 1860s dress is an emerald green satin which has a jewel neck and long very wide bell sleeves. The sleeves are edged with a ruffle, and have a bow on the upper sleeves. Her blouse is white with a narrow collar and long full gathered sleeves. She wears a belt with a brooch at the center front and the bottom of her skirt was plain and simple. Her hair was styled into a low bun with matching ribbon headband with small bows on each end and a short pair of white gloves. "And be careful with your suit! I do hate to see it dirty!

"Don't worry Mel." Adam talks with his food. "I will be careful this time."

Adam goes back to eating the cookies. Melanie groans but also smiles sweetly at him.

"Don't talk with your food open!" Mrs. Jackson scolds her husband.

"Sorry mom." Adam mocked with his mouth full.

Mrs. Jackson playfully rolls her eyes. Her eyes immediately got attention to the delicious cupcake with green piping Christmas tree. She takes a little bit from the top before she starts eating it. Before she starts to take a bite, she looks at Adam and notices his mouth has cookie crumbs. She quickly grabbed a napkin. "Oh, dear! You have cookie crumbs on your mouths!" She wiped the crumbs on his face. "Here, let's me dear."

"Melanie sweetheart." Adam laughed. "You're acting like a mother."

"It's not my fault you can be a bit messy." She replied back. "And please be careful with-oh nooo." A drip of chocolate landed on his tie. "Goodness me!"Melanie sighed. "Your tie is ruined…. And it was your best tie."

Adam rubs his neck and blush. "Hehehe…… whoops…"

Right close to the stage was the table filled with mothers. As the moms having a motherly conversation about their children and also their personal day.

"Oh yeah, my husband Bandit takes our girls out for Christmas shopping to buy the gifts for their cousins Muffin and Socks." Chill said to them while taking a nice slip of coffee before continuing. "And the worst part is, the girls were playing a game called "The Quiet Game" where you don't say anything. Boy it takes him 48 minutes to finish getting their gifts."

Soon, all the mothers around the table started to laugh.

"You think that's stressful? Try keeping Jack-Jack stay still for our family Christmas photo!" Helene began to speak. "We tried to make Jack-Jack stay still for the camera but he kept moving! We even tried bribing him with cookies if he promised to stay still but he suddenly started multiplying himself and making a mess in the studio. The poor photographer, she looks like she's about to rip her hair out. I even tip her with 100 a San apology."

Gabriel's mom, Mrs. Glida Aquila, began to speak. "Oh this brings up memories of my sons annual Christmas photo we took when they were young! I'm pretty sure I have it somewhere on my photo app… let's see." Glida starts going through her phone and going to the photo app.

But what she didn't know was that her son Gabriel, dressed in the tan chambray suit, happened to overhear her while making his way to Jasiri. His eyes widened before went over to their table.

"H-hey m-mom!!!" He said but also stuttered. "I-I want to introduce you to… um… Yen Sid! You know… the sorcerer who taught me about Fantasia? Yup! That's him! He's right over there! Let's go meet him! Come on"

"Now hold on honey." Gilda not taking her eyes off of her phone. "I am about to show them the Christmas photo when you and your brother were young! Now where are they… Ah-uh! Found it!"

"Hey mom! Your phone is about to run out of battery! Here let me charge it for you!" Gabriel sweats nervously as he attempts to take the phone out of his mom's hand but unsuccessful. Glida soon then shows the women at the table the photo.

The first photo shows the year 2000s where Gabriel and his brother Gray when they were kids. Both wore Christmas sweaters that everyone grandma in their family gave them. Gabriel has those shag styles while Gray has those spikes on his head. Gabriel appears to be sitting down in the photo and Gray is standing behind him with a navy blue night sky background featuring stars. Both boys were smiling directly at the camera.

"Ooh look at you!"

"Gabriel, you were so cute when you were a kid!"

"So adorable!"

"My gosh what's with that hair… feather… or whatever you call it… style did you have?"

"Moooooommmmmm!!!" Gabriel yells in a low pitch voice, feeling embarrassed. "MOM PlEASE!!!!!"

"Oh shush now Gabriel…. Don't raise your voice at me young man! Oh, and here's another picture of them with Gabriel sneezing right when the camera snapped their picture."

"ACK-HAHAHAHAHA."

"My gosh, Gabriel, you couldn't at least hold it in until the photo is done?"

Gabriel's face turns red like the tomato as he facepalm and groans when his mom continues showing more and more photos of them. "I'm soooooooo going to delete and burn all of them."

"Oh! I can wait to show this to your friends!"

"HOW ABOUT NOOOO!!!!!"

In the center of the event, Silver and Staghart were waltzing on the dance floor with some couples as well and the enchanted inanimate instruments were playing some classical Christmas music. The music they're playing right now is "Last Christmas."

Silver, the most fashionable of them all, wore a medium candy apple satin and chiffon gown which featured a sweetheart neckline without any sleeves and a tea length skirt in an a-line silhouette and matching tulle petticoats and bum rolled underneath as well as the golden glittery low pump. The waist is encircled with a golden ribbon that wraps around his waist with the cute bow in the back. He has a bottom ringlet of curls and a simple matching golden headband with a off-center bow on his left side on his head and an accessory with an white gloves featuring a ruffle hem on both hands and a pearl ring Staghart gave him on his left ring finger.

"Did you like the gift I gifted you?" Staghart, dressed in the white dress shirt with folded sleeves above his elbow, black pants that's held up by a brown belt. satin vest with five golden buttons and a tie which match the color of Silver's gown.

"Oh I do!" Silver responded, grinning at him. "I love it so much but where did you get it anyway?"

"Well, I went to the vintage store in Downtown Winter Garden since you love vintage stuff." Staghart chuckled.

Silver chuckle back. "You're not wrong about that! I do love vintage. Especially the clothes they wore back in the day. But I mostly love 50s fashion."

"Well, while I was browsing through the store. I happen to notice a pearl ring inside of a red velvet box sitting on the display cabin with some other old stuff." Staghart continues his story. "The ring even has a pearl which is your birthstone and it's the perfect one I am looking for. Even though you aren't the type who wears a lot of jewelry, you only wear chokers and pearls necklaces. So I ask the cashier if they could unlock the cabinet door so I can purchase the rings. While ringing it up, he asks if I am proposing this to my special one…" Staghart has a slight blush form on his face.

"Well… I have no idea what "proposing" means to be honest and thought it was an old slang back in his day that it meant gift or something like that."

Both couples burst into laughter.

"In your defense, you have no idea about the meaning of rings in human culture." Silver said to him. "If one sees a ring gifted to them or on their partner's palm, it means they are asking you to marry them."

"Yeah sorry for causing you to faint and make you think I'm proposing to you." Staghart's sheepy smile when he recalled an incident that happened earlier. "I can't believe everyone was so shocked when they began to believe I am proposing to you when you unwrapped your gift!"

Flashback (Earlier ago)

"Merry Christmas Silver." Staghart handed him his gift which was wrapped in a light blue paper and silver colored ribbon with a bow on top.

"Thank you Staghart, oh wow it's so small!" Silver was eager to open his gift. When he unwrapped the paper and opened the box, his jaw dropped when he saw the inside of the box was a beautiful vintage ring.

Silver could feel Rachel peeking over his shoulder before. "Oooh, what's you got there Silverrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!" She let out a huge loud gasp causing everyone to notice her sudden gasp. When they all turn their attention toward Staghart and Silver and his gift. They were immediately shocked and surprised when they saw what was inside the box. Whisper and mumble something that Staghart couldn't catch:

"Is he what I think he's doing?"

"Didn't Silver turn 18 about six months agos????"

"Are we witnessing a marriage proposal!?"

"Aren't they too young to get married?"

"Should we feel happy for them or not…..?"

Staghart, not sure as to why everyone is looking so strangely at them, looks at Silver's shocking expression. It wasn't until Brooklyn was suddenly pulled by his suit lapel by Brooklyn who immediately shook him crazy like a maracas with big wide eyes and panic all over his face.

"IS THAT THE RING!!!!"

"Y-yes!!!!"

"STAGHART! ARE YOU NUT!!!"

"What?" Staghart, looking very confused.

"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!? HAS YOU LOST YOUR MIND??!!"

Staghahrt was flapper gasping. "W-what are you talking about? And quit shouting at me!"

"Staghart," This time, Brooklyn calms himself down before he starts to explain. "Did you know why everyone here was so shocked when they saw the ring?"

Staghart shook his head side by side. "N-noooo."

Brooklyn took a deep breath and stared at his eyes. "In human culture, an event occurs when one person in the relationship asks the other for his or her or their hand in marriage. One would bend down on one knee and propose to their partner with an RING."

"Wait, you mean…"

"YOU ARE BASICALLY ASKING SILVER TO MARRY YOU!!!"

Staghart began to panic when he finally understood what that significant ring was. He couldn't believe it, he couldn't believe he purchased the ring and gifted it to Silver and now he got Silver to assume that he's asking him to be his partner forever. This is not how he imagined it would go. The gargoyle turned to face Silver, who was standing there with his eyes still staring at the ring, looking shocked.

"Silver… are you okay?"

All that Silver could respond was fainted, thankfully, Adam was there to catch him before he hit the ground and his gift still in his hand.

"SILVER!!!!"

Flashback Ended

"Don't worry," Silver assured him. "It's alright but next time, how about giving me something that is not a ring so I won't faint again and go into a coma."

They both laughed off.

"No seriously though, I will faint again and my mom will definitely have your head if she believes you are proposing to me without her and my dad's permission."

"I like to see her try."

In the foyer, the shapeshifted trio: Logan, Toren, and Aline are all standing in front of the Magic Mirror.

"Wow!" Aline awe, dress in this baby pink dress features a foldover, off-the-shoulder neckline, ruffle puffs with ruched long triangle sleeves, and side seams that hug her along the bodycon, asymmetrical short hem. Her black hair that had blue and pink streaks going through it was styled with bottom curls with a matching bow in the back. A pair of pink satin flats with a round toe design, a rosebud trim, and adjustable heart-shaped buckle closures and pink diamond earrings surrounded by diamond. "I never imagined the Magic Mirror would be this big, I alway thought it would be a regular bathroom-size mirror."

"So who wanted to go first?" Toren looked at them, he wore this icy blue tailor fitted suit that flatters his silhouette, with the prominent color being the rich hues of icy blue. The lapels and buttons are matching, creating a sharp contrast. To enhance the visual appeal of the suit, he can tuck in a pocket square as well.

"I will go." Logan volunteers. He wore a single-breasted chocolate brown suit open jacket that's fully lined and has two exterior flap pockets on the bottom. This suit has contrasting black satin design details seen on the lapel of the jacket, pants, and the vest. He's rocking his attire with a matching bow tie, brown leather watch on his right wrist and matching brown leather loafers.

"I'm alway curious to see if anyone can use the magic Mirror beside the Evil Queen." He stood right in front of it with Aline and Toren standing behind him in between and suddenly he began to speak the line that the Evil Queen would say.

"Slave in the Magic Mirror, come from the farthest space, through wind and darkness I summon thee. . . Speak!"

A bolt of lightning appeared on the mirror and then fire appeared. Aline and Toren covered their eyes from the lightning.

"Let me see thy face," said Logan.

The flames disappeared and instead a face appeared on the mirror with smoke appearing behind it. They watched in awe.

"What wouldst thou know, sir?" asked the Face.

"Oh my gosh it's work!" Toren gasps in shock. "I thought only the Evil Queen could do it!"

"Me either." Aline softly spoke to him. "But wow…."

"Magic Mirror on the wall…." asked Logan.

"Hold on, is it "Mirror Mirror"?" Toren interrupted him, looking a bit confused. "I am pretty sure like how she says it."

"No, the Evil Queen'' actually says "Magic Mirror"." Aline corrected him. "Which is the complete opposite of what the same quote has been synonymous with." Toren nodded his head as he got it now. "I think it depends on which version of the Snow White you read and watch because in some versions she said it differently." She added before letting Logan finish.

Logan clears his throat before going back to what he is going to say next. "As I was saying… Magic Mirror on the Wall…. Can you tell what my friends are giving me this Christmas?"

"WHAT!!!" Aline and Toren shirek by his question.

"I beg your pardon?" The Magic Mirror was taken by his question.

"What are my friends giving me this Christmas?" Logan asks him again. "I know I am not supposed to know but I am very curious to know what they got me."

"Logan you can't do that!" Aline exclaimed. "We both agree to keep our gift exchange a secret until Christmas Day."

"Yeah Logan!" Toren agreed. "Don't make us return our gift back to the store!"

"Alright, fine!" Logan pouted childly before asking the mirror another question. "Magic Mirror on the wall… Have I been good this year?"

"Does kissing Mirabel count as being good?"

"A simple yes or no answer would be appreciated but forget it! Who's next?" Logan walks away from the mirror and crosses his arm in the huff.

"Me! Me!" Toren walked close to the Magic Mirror before he began asking his question. "Magic Mirror on the wall… what kind of prank will I pull off next year?" He said before taking out a notebook and an pen out of nowhere.

"Where did he pull out from? He doesn't even have a pocket!"

"Next year in 2023," The Mirror says. "Your friends will be fooled by your many tricks. One including applying pink hair dye in one of your friend Logan shampoo."

"You did what!?" Logan shrieked, touching his top hair.

"Another is covering every living room furniture in Aline's home in the threads of yarn."

"Hey!" Aline gasps, glaring at the Jaquin.

"Don't look at me!" Toren defended himself. "I didn't pull these pranks…… yet. And what else?" He starts writing it down as the Mirror continues what other pranks he pulled off.

"Remind me to lock every door and windows in my house." Aline whispers to Logan.

"Remind me of that too." Logan whispers back at her.

"Okay! My turn!" Aline beam with a big smile before she heads toward the huge mirror. "Okay… Magic Mirror on the wall… who's the best cat of them all?"

The Mirror face is soon replaced with an image of Alice's pet Kirby Dinah from Alice in Wonderland.

Aline was a bit disappointed with the result. "Ahhh, I was hoping to be Marie from Aristocat," She whined. "She's the most precious, elegant, and darling little kitten ever. Just like her lady-like mother!"

"Hey Aline! Ask the Mirror if he could see if tomorrow is going to be snow again because I really wanted to play in the snow and to have a snowball fight with you guys!" Toren said to her.

"How do you all perceive me? Do you see me as Alexa? Siri?"

"I mean… kinda."

"Isn't that your job?"

"Probably."

In the different part of this wide, spacious area of the House of Mouse. Destiny, Double D, Alymra, Brain, and Gray are having a contest. Players place a candy cane into their mouth, curved side out, and use the candy cane to hook another candy cane from the pile and transfer it to a bowl for five minutes. Whoever has the most candy cane win – no hands or magic allowed!

"Alright… on your mark… get set… GO!!!!" Ana, Berry's sister, started the timer and they began the game.

All the participants use the candy with their arms behind their back. While Double D, Destiny, Brain take a rapid speeding approach, Gray, on the other hand, engages in a more gradual, methodical approach. Unfortunately for Alymra, she struggled the most than the rest of them. At first she got one inside at the beginning but she tried to hook another candy cane but none made it into her bowl and none were hooked on.

"Come on… come on!!!!" She groaned. Thankfully, she got one hooked on. "YES!!!!" But the candy cane slipped off again. "OH COME ON!!!! ARE. YOU. KIDDING ME!!!"

Everyone around the table cheered them on. Some are guessing who will win while others are betting on each other.

"Come on Brain!" Beth calls out impatiently. "You can do it!"

"I'm trying!" Brian responded quickly to his sister. "Yes! Bingo!" He cheered when he got another one inside his bowl. "Let's go baby!"

"Come on Son!" Gavin cheered on his son. "Show them what you got!"

As five minutes passed. Ana announces that time is up! All of the competitors let go of their candy cane, some grab their water bottle to cook themselves down and wipe off their sweat from their forehead. Everyone waited patiently for Ana to finish counting their candy cane. They all held their breath as Ana took her time counting their candy cane out from their bowl. Once she's done counting them all, she turns to face the audience who watch the competition.

"Destiny is the winner!"

"YES! Yes! Yeah!" Destiny shakes Gray's hand rapidly and squeezes it an bit hard. "Oh, better luck next time. Whoo!" She cheers as she runs off the table. "Whoo-hoo-hoo! Yeah! All right! Whoo! LOGAN! I guess what? I wooooonnnnn!"

"I'm pretty sure Destiny squeezed my hand a bit too hard. Ooohhh." Gray whined at the sight of his hand hurt. "Can someone give me a pack of ice for me please?"

In the foyer with a red chair and the reception desk are. Poe de Spell, wearing a dashing violet sweatshirt with white collar popping out, is holding a nice two cups of hot coffee with swirl whip cream on top with red and green sprinkle and marshmallows. "Here you go!" Poe handed one of the drinks to Rachel.

Rachel, sitting in one of the red chairs, smiles at him. "Thank you Poe." She dresses in this silver colored crepe blazer featuring long sleeves, shoulder pads, lapel collar neckline, front button closure, and faux pockets. She keeps it chic with matching paper bag waist pants that feature a tie-front belt to cinch the waist, slanted front pockets, a skinny leg fit, and a tapered hem. Inside was a white satin corset top featuring a strapless sweetheart neckline, flexible boning at the bodice to provide structure, and a mid-length hem with a fitted silhouette. Her brown hair was put into a wavy ponytail and a pair of silver heels.

As the two sat there in the red quietly with their hot drinks in their hands. when his eyes caught a glimpse of something hanging above them. "Oh Rachel~" He sang as he laughed.

"Yes?" Rachel looks at him.

Poe pointed his finger up, when Rachel tilted her head upward, she saw a mistletoe dangling above. "I don't remember seeing the mistletoe there?" She breathed out.

The look of accusation across her face caught Poe's attention. His gaze peered up above them. The blush on his cheeks were almost unnoticeable. "Would you mind telling me you've been hanging mistletoe on the ceiling in the hopes we would get caught under it?" She squinted her eyes at him with a suspicious tone.

He shook his head. "No." As he smirked, he tried to hide his feeling of confusion by adding: "Is that really something I would do?"

In response, Rachel rolled her eyes back. "That's just what you'd do, Poe" She replied.

His shoulder slumped. "I don't recall putting mistletoe around." Before adding. "I was too busy decorating the tree. Rachel blink for the moment. "Oh yeah, I forgot about that."

He wiggled his eyebrows at her. "You know Rachel, if I remember." He rubs his bottom beak. "If you get caught under the mistletoe with someone you have to kiss them."

She laughed softly. "Kiss them?"

Taking notice of her blushed cheek. He nodded, smirking, and moving his chair closer to her. "There's no doubt in my mind you know." He whispered. "After all, it's part of the Holiday tradition. It wouldn't be right for us not to do it."

"Well," Rachel breathed heavily, moving her chair forward. "I guess we should follow the tradition then."

"We shall……" They slowly, slowly leaned on each other as he murmured, he never turned his gaze away from her.

Soon their lips meet, it only lasts for twenty seconds only to hear two children giggle behind Poe. When they turn to where the giggles are coming from, they realize it was Lena and Jameson, giggling at them while hiding behind the plant, who were both behind this. Turns out, Lena was using her magic to trick the couple to make the mistletoe appear out of nowhere above them. The mistletoe goes puff once they kiss.

"Lena, Jameson!" Poe let out a dramatic gasp at them. "Did you kids plan this?"

"Maybeeee." Lena tried to act so innocently and looked at Jameson who was holding his laugh in. The two ran off and the couple chuckled at them.

"Can't believe it was them the whole time." Rachel smiles. "Those little troublemakers." Poe smiles back at her. "I wonder where they got that influence from?"

"Hey guys!" Adam poke his head, scaring the two. "It's almost time for the toast! Come on!"

Rachel and Poe collected themselves before they stared and laughed at each other.

"I guess we should go then." He murmured.

Rachel hummed in agreement. "I guess so." She glanced up at him. "Come on, everyone is waiting for us."

The adults glass are fill with champagne, some are ciders, while the children and teens cup are fill with

Standing on the stage was none other than Mickey Mouse with Minnie standing beside him on his left. Mickey walks up to the microphone. "I would love to say, thank you so much to everyone for sharing your time with us to celebrate the holiday. But most of all, welcoming the Aquila Family to the Magical World." He speaks, the guests give Gabriel's family a round of applause. "Having you three as our guests of honor is truly a blessing to us all. Wishing you a happy and prosperous holiday season as well as a happy new year! I hope you'll never forget what is important, or forget what's best forgotten. We hope you enjoyed the Magical World."

"Oh, it's not a problem at all." Gilda smiles at him.

"Aw shush! You are making me blush!" Gray rubs his neck with a slight blush appearance on his cheek.

"And thank you for throwing this party in our honor!" Gavin wink at him.

"And now," Mickey said. The loud clunk when the spoon hit the transparent glass echoed. Wide smile; everyone smiled back to him, listening with anticipation.

With a mic he took off from the stand he said out loud, the atmosphere light with a hint of excitement, "Please welcome! Gabriel Aquila!"

Everyone clapped and whistled when Gabriel walked to the stage. With soft smiles he took the microphone from the mouse before thanking him. "I would like to thank my friends for throwing this surprise party and leaving me alone in the dark room while playing some video games and loud music."

Everyone laughed while the Co-Dream Keeper and the Dream Defenders blush cheesy.

"What else are we supposed to do to keep you distracted?" Rachel shrugged her shoulders. "Knock you unconscious and lock you up in the storage closet until we let you out?" She joked, causing everyone to laugh, including Gabriel.

"Wait…. Wasn't that your originally plan-"

"Shush."

Gabriel soon continued his speech. "I would like to make a toast to Christmas, since it comes once a year. This holiday and everything involved with it is what brings us together today. We observed Christmas as a time of giving and thanking. Throughout this day, we are more generous than ever, we are helping others and sacrificing our time, and we are just more generous in general, but our generosity doesn't end here. The joy and happiness we feel today comes from our friends, our family, and everyone we care about today. Let's keep it going by being generous with our time, our support, our love, and our respect all year. I want you all to take a look around at everyone, seeing them here truly make this night and brighten the holiday. There's no better way to celebrate than with family and friends. I hope all of us will keep the spirit of Christmas alive throughout the years."

Together they all raised their cups together with him.

"And so, let's raise our glasses in a toast to this wintery celebration!" Gabriel raises his cup high above his head. "Cheer."

"CHEER!!!"

It was until the clock struck 12, bringing the sound of the grandfather clock. Gabriel slowly looked at everyone with a smile on his beak.

He could hear Jaisiri's chuckle. The Hyena Queen dressing beautifully in this gold glitter dress features a cowl neckline, long fitted sleeves, a form-hugging bodice, ruching at the waist, and below the knee length hem. She's supporting a long finger wave hairstyle with gold heels and a diamond necklace. "Merry Christmas Gabriel!"

"Merry Christmas Jaisir," They kiss.

Soon, they all started wishing everyone at the party.

"Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas!"

"Feliz navidad!"

"Happy Holiday everyone!"

"And a happy New Year!"

"Can we do this at New Years' again?"

"You guys have fun, I am eating more at the dessert table again."

"Adam no!"

They all laughed.

Just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas (or Happy Hanukkah, or whatever you celebrate) and a Happy New Year to one and all. I hope you are enjoying the holiday with family, friends, and loved ones!
