"Look what I found outside" Gail smirked and hugged her sister "Merry Christmas" she smiled and hugged Michael wishing him a Merry Christmas too

"You too Merry Christmas" Michael and Tracee replied

"Did you call mom and dad yet?" Gail asked Tracee

"No, we kind of just got up" Tracee replied

"Geez bro give her break sometimes" Gail smirked at Michael who rolled his eyes at Gail

"Gail don't start" Tracee warned her

"Anyway is the in-laws coming over?" Gail asked

"No, they don't do holidays remember?" Michael answered

"Janet or Toya then?" Gail asked

"No Janet is busy preparing for her tour next year and Toya, I don't know probably hosting a party somewhere or so" Michael answered

"The others are with family" Tracee added incase Gail was going to ask about all the other's too

"But we're all here so let's party, I got a few left over bottles of wine and champagne from the Christmas party at the firm and we can make snacks with whatever y'all have in the fridge" Gail mentioned "Aimy can you help carry the liquor?" She asked

"Sure" Aimy answered and followed Gail back to her car in the underground parking garage under the penthouse
