"I've got the ornaments!" Virgo exclaims, awkwardly waddling into the room due to the huge box filled to the brim with colorful balls of glass in his arms.

"yES!!! FRAGILE GLASS!" Sagittarius shouts joyfully as he sees the box, leaping forward.

"Whoa!! Careful!" Pisces warns, worried for the fate of the fragile glass balls as Sagittarius scoops a handful of them out of the box roughly and runs away.

"I've got the tree!" Aries shouts from the back of the room.

Everyone turns to see Aries with a six foot Christmas tree slung casually over his shoulder.

"Aries, my man, can I come with you one time when you work out?" Taurus asks, marveling at the scene along with everyone else.

"Sure dude." Aries laughs, setting the tree down.

Gemini, Leo, and Libra don't say anything, just stare.

"Well, moving on." Scorpio says, clapping her hands to snap everyone out of whatever just happened.

"Okay, yes. So, Pisces, Taurus, and Cancer you string the popcorn while we start put the ornaments up. NO EATING THE DECORATIONS!" Capricorn says, taking control of the situation.

The three nod with smiles so angelic that they are evil and get to work. Capricorn sighs, deciding it can't hurt if they eat a few, right?

Everyone starts decorating. Aquarius and Libra promptly start by pick all the animal ornaments out. Libra immediately gets distracted by an adorable one of a puppy playing in wrapping paper and only ends up putting two up while Aquarius pockets all them and ends up stealing pretty much all the animal ornaments.

Aries, Gemini, Leo, and Scorpio start untangling the Christmas lights, the whole ordeal getting them all very frustrated, ending with Scorpio and Aries slowly smashing each colorful lightbulb one by one, Gemini and Leo chanting eagerly as they watch.

Taurus and Virgo go to bake Christmas cookies while Capricorn chases Sagittarius, trying to convince him that the glass bulbs are not weapons and shouldn't be thrown.

The evening continues and everyone has a good time. The cookies are finished and they are split out evenly. Everyone gets one and Taurus gets eight.

Everyone then gets mad at Taurus and they start wanting something else to eat, so Aquarius decides to pull out her poptarts. That makes everyone happy, especially Sagittarius, and somehow by the end of the day, nothing has caught on fire or exploded.

It's a Christmas miracle.
