The brothers MacDonald, suitably plied with food and beer (well, half of them were plied with beer) have instruments out and are playing Christmas tunes.

"I know you know 'I'll be home for Christmas,'" Shane said with a smile, holding a tempting bribe of holiday cooking just out of reach.

The boys looked at each other and Calum nodded. "You take it, eh?"

"Sure, old man."

Calum rolled his eyes and retrieved his beer as Colin raised his harmonica to his lips, foot absently tapping the beat against his chair leg as he started to play.

Shane leaned back, smiling as the young man played. He was feeling too generous to sing along.

Whistle sufficiently wet, Calum lifted his fiddle again and joined in seamlessly with his brother, starting to sing. "I'll be home for Christmas, you can count on me . . ."

Resisting... resisting...

Nope. No good. A gravelly, warm voice joined in:

"So have some snow, and mistletoe-"

The harmonica faltered. It was hard to play and snigger at the same time.

It was a military man's song, and military men sang it. You just had to deal with that one. Shane's voice wasn't bad. On key, at least, although you couldn't do much about how rough it was.

Could have been worse. Could have been Riddick.

Could have been Felicia.

". . . if only in my dreams," Calum finished, drawing out the last note on the old fiddle and leaving Colin free to snigger for real.

Shane gave Colin a look that promised shovel-fulls of snow in his future, and then smiled at Calum. "Thank you."

Calum chuckled. "Our pleasure. That's what Pol's payin' us for."

"She isn't paying us," Colin frowned.

"What do y' think all them squares you've been stuffin' your face with were?"

"Um . . . presents?"

"Well, thank you anyway."

"Anythin' else?" Calum asked with an easy grin.

"Oh, I dunno. Greensleeves?"

Colin looked in confusion at his brother, who translated. "What Child is This."

"Oh!"

"The kind of sad-sounding one," Shane agreed. Which was actually a surprisingly large subset of Christmas carols.
