Peter huffed a sigh, leaning his chin on one hand. He looked at the beautiful tree Ned had set up with his family, tall and pristine, the pine needles showing it was indeed an actual tree- not like the thin, measly, plastic ones that May had only ever been able to afford, reused every year, with the long, thin, pole of a middle shown easily through the wire and green plastic branches. 

Setting down his phone, Peter glanced at the large saw that Tony had been using in the lab- where he was currently sitting, actually, sitting on a white spinny chair and watching his father get covered in grease. He was meant to be fixing his web shooters, but he had finished a while ago and was too tired to do anything else after his long day on an excursion.

An idea quickly popped into his head and Peter was out of his seat within seconds, snatching the saw and his suit, disappearing out of the window, phone laying forgotten on the counter. 

"Hey Pete can you hand me that screwdriver?" 

Tony frowned, wondering why Peter was so uncharacteristically quiet all of a sudden. He tried to sit up, only to smack his head on the bottom of the car he was fixing. 

Swearing, Tony clutched his throbbing forehead, moving out from beneath the car and sitting up properly, thankfully not smacking his head again. 

Peter didn't seem to be anywhere, though his bag still lay in the corner, bag open and books spilling out, and his phone lay on the table, screen still on but dark. 

Tony tapped it and the screen lit up again, only to show a picture of a christmas tree that Ned had decorated with his family. 

Perhaps he had gone to get decorations? Tony shrugged, deciding he would tell Peter they already had an overflowing box of decorations in storage that they used every year when he got back, then get someone to return them for him while he made Peter a hot chocolate. 

He didn't notice that the saw was missing, or Peter's suit.

To those spectating, they simply thought Spider-Man was remaking a scene from the movie Elf, though Peter thought this was just a great way to save money, sawing through the trunk of a tree. 

Luckily for him, there wasn't many spectators, and those who were there didn't seem to call the police- obviously finding this funny as some videoed him, putting it on instagram and Snapchat with the caption; Spidey the Elf 😂.

It didn't take long for Peter to fully cut down the tree, yelling timber loudly as it went down. Then, after the loud thud of it falling, Peter started dragging it back to the tower. 

He got a lot of beeps from cars, for the tree was so big it covered the entire road when he crossed it. Luckily the police didn't really tell him off, for it looked like he had just bought a tree from one of those christmas tree places.

Tony stood in the lounge, wondering when Peter would be back, making himself a cup of peppermint tea. He had recently gotten into the drink after he tried to get off coffee for a little while, a suggestion by his therapist. 

Steve was playing an intense game of scrabble with Sam and Wanda. Bucky was supporting Steve, and Clint was supporting Sam. Natasha and Pepper were supporting Wanda. 

"Philanthropist. 24 points." Wanda said, smirking. 

Steve and Sam looked at her in shock. 

"You must have been cheating," Sam said incredulously. "You can only have seven tiles on the rack, and..." Sam trailed off as he realised she had lined it up perfectly to get the right letters in the right places from other words.
