"What do you call a one legged hippo?" "What?" "A HOP-po! Get it? A HOP-po? Ha-ha!" I laughed at my very funny joke. I don't get why Nathalie didn't laugh, I mean, it was pretty hilarious. So, It's been a week that I didn't go to school due to my situation, and now I'm ready to face the same boring class with the same boring teachers. "You've been gone for a week and now you've come back with a punchline? Unbelievable." Rhea slammed the tray filled of food on our table.

Back in the truck, I cue the only song that matters. “Santa baby…” I sing, sweet and slow as the engine warms. “Slip a sable under the tree…” Nick’s jaw flexes. His hands settle on the steering wheel, tight. I sing louder. Breathier. “For me…” He says nothing. I grin and keep going. “Been an awful good girl…” I lick my lips, just to see if he notices.

It morphed into anxiety, fear, self-doubt, and countless sleepless nights. I looked at my cold, swollen fingers, then slowly asked, "Ivano, did you have a happy Christmas?" Caught off guard by my response, the other end of the line went quiet. All the lectures he'd planned were suddenly stuck in his throat. Smiling, I said softly, "I had a happy Christmas too because I discovered a secret. The comment I wrote wasn't meant to mock you. I genuinely wish all of you well." Without hesitation, I hung up.

He’s still smiling and seems like waiting for something. "And, your name?" he added. "Jessica, yeah, Jessica," I replied stuttering. "Nice name, Jessica. Can I buy you a drink?" he asked. "No, thanks," I answered. I can't look at him directly, having him in front of me makes me tense, and I don't know why. "How about any song request? I can ask my group to play it for you" he said. "I, hmm, I can't think of anything, I can't actually think right now. How about, hmm, My way," I replied.

"Come on, of course he won't. He's not a beast. Well, technically he is...but you get the point." "Whatever. I guess it makes sense why his name is Lupus now." We got home after a little while. We immediately went back to bed. * Lupus woke me up again when he went to puke again. I guess the charcoal has started working. That's a relief. I just hope it's enough to stop the poisoning. We went downstairs after getting ready. I can already hear the soft Christmas music playing from the stairs. "Merry Christmas!" Mom exclaimed excitedly while hugging me and Lupus. The decorations are already up. We did wake up late afterall.

"Merry Christmas!" The door to Ariana’s room flew open with a bang. Cami bounded in like a whirlwind of energy, wearing fuzzy reindeer slippers and a massive grin. She jumped onto the foot of Ariana’s bed, oblivious to the way Ariana winced as her sore muscles protested the sudden movement.

We can't sing. "So I put my hands up, They're playing my song, And the butterflies fly away, Noddin' my head like, yeah, Movin' my hips like, yeah, I got my hands up, They're playin' my song, You know I'm gonna be okay, Yeah, it's a party in the USA, Yeah it's a party in the USA" we screamed in all the wrong notes causing both of us to laugh as the wind from the windows blowed in our hair. -

The snow fell gently outside, but in that moment, we were enveloped in the warmth of our love, celebrating not only Christmas but also the profound bond that united us. As our lips drew near for a tender kiss, our children, Heitor and Maria Flor, couldn't resist voicing their mock protest. "Ew, stop it!" they exclaimed in unison, wrinkling their little noses in playful disgust. We couldn't help but chuckle at their adorable reaction, our hearts filled with the warmth of the moment. Our laughter echoed through the room, blending with the joy and love that permeated the air. It was a perfect Christmas, a celebration not only of the holiday itself but of the deep and unbreakable bond that held

On a night long ago, in a manger far away, God delivered a promise we still cling to this day Through a sky filled with stars, the angels did sing And on a clear Christmas Eve, the melody still rings. Hear the song in the falling snow, In your heart, feel a love that grows With each flake that falls from above Hear God’s promise of eternal love Wrapped in warmth each cool December night We bask in the love of our family’s light.
