Barry and I help Joe to decorate the Christmas Tree. I already placed my gift below the tree. it will be my first time spending time with them not Ollie and the others

"there's only two boxes left" Joe told us

"you know, at this rate, we'll be finished by easter" Joe and I chuckled

"don't even" Barry finished it quickly "okay, the only red-suited dude I want in this house right now is kris kringle, you got it?" he ask

Barry quickly finished it as Joe and I laugh. Barry gave me the final touch as Iris came in bringing our drinks

"uh, these ornaments are not gonna hang themselves" she tell us

"mm-hmm" I agree

"grandma esther's recipe light on the bourbon" she distribute the drink

I sip slowly because it's hot

"I always loved her definition of light" Joe's phone ring "and the Christmas tradition continues" I chuckled "Detective West. yeah?" Barry and I stare at him "all right" he end the call "sorry, kids, the D.A wants to ask me some questions. make sure there's some nog left for me when I get back" he left

"no promises" Barry whispered which makes me chuckle

Iris turned off the television as she take our mug

"what's happening?" I ask "hey" Iris hold mine and Barry's hand
