"Merry Christmas to you, too," Connor grumbled after a few displeased, startled moans. He reached an arm up and his hand eventually found and grabbed a blanket that was still firmly tucked under the mattress. Or at least firmly enough to be used to pull himself off the floor with. "What time is it, anyway?" He wasn't sure he even wanted to know.
***
It wasn't until he looked at the calendar posted above his clock that Curtis remembered that it was Christmas morning. Sure, he and Katra had enjoyed some eggnog and cookies the night before, but somehow he was often disoriented as to the date whenever he woke up. As always he looked to Katra and then the girls' crib. He chuckled. Someday those two would be old enough to make sure he NEVER forgot that it was Christmas.

Kats eyes snapped open as soon as the sun was gone. she slowly sat up wondering where Curtis had gone to, lately he had been sitting on the bed waiting for her to wake.

Luka helped him up. "Some ungodly hour that I really don't care to think about."
~~~~~~
Holly smirked. "Like I said, no one in this house really needs the encouragment." She pressed Kyle up against the wall and began kissing him senseless.

Kyle was starting to get used to this randomly making out thing over the days of being trapped in this house. He still felt awkward and his face still turned red but his hands went straight into her hair, a place he had found out she loved.

Holly pulled back and smiled. "Who needs mistletoe? Now come on Mr. Always Hungry. The most spectacular breakfast of your life awaits."

"You're family must be the early Christmas morning risers," Connor noted as he ran his fingers through the hair in his eyes. "Now where the hell did my pants end up?" He began looking through bed sheets and around on the floor; a common morning ritual for him nowadays.
***
The moment Curtis heard motion from the futon he flicked on the light switch in the kitchen, which activated the lights on the Christmas tree right around the corner from him. He'd turned off all the other lights in the cabin for effect and listened intently to hear Katra's reaction to the tree appearing in its fully lit, decorated state for the first time.

Kat started giggling. "Curtis!" It wasn't hard for her to find him, she jumped up and in an instant was hugging him tightly.
Kyle smiled, "Ok, that works too."

Luka rolled her eyes. "What, do you only have one pair? Surely you have other pairs packed." Luka was rather cranky at the moment.
~~~~~~
A smirk spread across Holly's face. "You know what else works? The way those pajama pants ride your hips. They're making me jealous." She winked at him and then turned and headed for breakfast.

"They need washed," he grumbled, finally finding them and sliding them on. "Alright, you got me up. Now it's your turn." Connor turned to look at Luka, smirking and fully ready to repay her for shoving him off the bed if need be.
***
"I'm glad the tree meets approval," Curtis chuckled as he hugged Katra, although carefully. "I just put the girls down to sleep. Shall we open some presents, or are you too hungry?"

Kyle looked down at his pjs, he hadn't really packed any himself so these were from what Holly's mother had put in his room. They were a reddish maroon color with poinsettias on them. They had looked a little girly on him last night when Holly had picked them out for him but he had trusted her.
"I'm good for now, I'll let you know," She winked at him and then let go of him as she headed over to the tree.

Luka glared at him. "If you ever want to see me naked again, you will reconsider anything you were about to do."
~~~~~~
Holly glanced over her shoulder. "Are you coming or are you gonna stand there all morning?"

That threat was enough to stop Connor's train of thought before it made it any further down the hazardous tracks.
"Aye then," he said, forcing a nervous grin. "I'll meet you at the kitchen table." He then promptly scurried down the stairs.
***
"Alright, come on then" Curtis said with a smile as he took Katra's hand and pulled her to the tree. It had enough lights that they could open their gifts without turning anything on. He sat her down on the futon and handed her the first package.

Kat unwrapped it slowly and opened a flat box. It held a black and blue plaid skirt with a neon green short sleeve hoodie with black lace trim. Kat beamed at him. "I'm sure you had fun shopping for this." She pictured his giant self in a hot topic or spencers looking for these clothes and it made her giggle. She reached around the tree to get to a smaller present she had ordered him from the lovely internet and handed it to him.
Kyle shook his head and followed her into the kitchen with a smile.

Luka smirked. "Who says they can't be trained?" She threw on some clothes and wandered over to Yakov's room and pounded on the door. "Come on you two, Christmas awaits." When she got no response she burst into the room. "Well good morning everyone. Rise and shine. There is a rather large feast which for some reason needs to be eaten before sunrise, so haul your asses down there." She then quickly headed down stairs.
~~~~~~
Holly pulled him into a chair next to her. "I thought you told me a few days ago that you were learning to recognize innuendo."

Jeff fluttered his eyes open but made no other response.
Kyle looked at her with a confused look on his face. "What?"
