You can stop talking now.” I shut my eyes briefly, when I opened them and tried to speak, grandma Rose returned. "I'm very sorry for keeping you waiting.

Arthur and I join the others in the living room, where a beautiful Christmas tree stands, twinkling with lights and ornaments. We gather around, everyone smiling and chatting, waiting for the clock to strike twelve. There’s a sense of anticipation, and I can feel Arthur’s hand tighten around mine. Finally, the clock strikes midnight, and a cheer goes up. “Merry Christmas!” everyone calls out, exchanging hugs and kisses. Gifts are passed around, and the room fills with laughter and joy. After the gifts are exchanged, we all raise our glasses for a toast. Arthur’s father, a kind man with a twinkle in his eye, leads the toast.

he simply said, his voice flat. He sighed, getting on his feet. “Merry Christmas everyone. We'll leave you all to it,” he said to others. He dragged his eyes to Neil, smiled, took out his phone and only tapped on the screen once. “Merry Christmas, Cousin,” he finally said, then led me out of the bar. “I'm sorry about Neil.

The moment feels right—quiet and intimate, illuminated by the soft glow of the fire and the twinkling lights from the tree. The perfect sort of moment to finally break the news. “I have something for you,” I say, pulling away slightly. “An early Solstice gift.” Arthur raises an eyebrow. “I thought we agreed to wait until morning.”

Arthur tells me. “What are your Christmas traditions?” Max asks; he’s finally back with us. “Ah, the Christmas spirit is designed for children. The joy of Christmas for adults is seeing the joy on the faces of the pack's pups. Every November, the adults come together to make an activity advent calendar for the pups. An example of this would be; on the 1st of the month, we decorate the pack land. On the 2nd, we hold our official secret Santa draw. On the 3rd, we write out our Christmas cards. On the 4th, we hold our Christmas fancy dress party, and we always put our Christmas trees up on the 13th.

"I'd rather drown in a pool of my own spit than see my mother, but-" "But... it's Christmas." Marc walked toward her and wrapped his arms around her from the side before kissing the top of her head. "We're not staying long, but we want to see everyone." He turned his attention to Kari. "We'll probably be with Momma on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning."
