Christmas had a special little place in the heart of every angel, well, every angel that had been actively involved with it. Every angel that had been happy to be actively involved

Aaron wasn't sure if he felt any different about Christmas since the whole Nephilim thing kicked it, but it was still a good time.
Gabriel's grace was rather impossible to miss (unless the archangel was really trying to hide it), so when Aaron sensed it nearby, he naturally went looking.
"You gonna get a sparkly outfit like that for yourself?" Aaron said, putting an arm around his uncle's shoulders.
Gabriel laughed, letting the tall young man lean on him as he continued to look at the little angel figure. Aaron never seemed to just say hi, like some of Gabriel's more stuck-up relations, but it was part of the kid's charm. "What, like that?" He asked, putting the angel into his shopping basket. "Kiddo, why would I need another one?" He asked, grinning.
"What about you? You getting into the holiday spirit?" Gabriel's eyebrows wriggled suggestively at that, saying no more.
"You know you're always welcome to climb my xmas tree." Aaron said, smirking.
"As for the holiday spirit, what's that, 'spend, baby, spend'?" The Nephilim laughed. "Nah, for real, it's ok I guess. How about you - planning to whip out any holiday miracles to cheer up the locals? And no, I don't mean the locals at The Sin."
Gabriel snorted a laugh. "Always wanted an angel perched on top have you?"
"Well, you have a candy store. You should be racking it in if you played your cards right. Chocolate tree decorations, candy canes, candy boxes." He winked. "Who doesn't like a bit of Christmas candy?"
When Aaron mentioned miracles, Gabriel simply shrugged. "No one has asked for any miracles yet. To me anyway."
"You're kind, right?" Aaron said. "I'm up to my ears in holiday candy, and the kids are snatching it up just as fast as I get it."
"As for the miracles thing - yeah, I don't know if we'd get into a union problem there." He thought about it. "You know what you ought to do? You should make an entire gingerbread building - the kids would be like big cheery termites or something when they hit that sucker."
Now Gabriel was completely sure Aaron wasn't exaggerating that fact. It was bound to be busy, hells every store in town seemed to be doing a roaring trade. Then he thought of something, and frowned. "Where do you get? The candy I mean." He added, with a wink. "I don't need where you get anything else."
"You know kiddo, that's not a bad idea. I could set it up in the park, let everyone loose. Set up a little sign with a over-eating disclaimer or something." He said, grinning. "That is, if I don't eat it all first."
"Oh, it just shows up at the store - the candy, I mean." Aaron said, smirking. "The rest is genetics, I guess."
"Yeah, and maybe mojo the thing so the ceiling doesn't crush anyone. It could be a towering inspiration to gluttony - the village will need to make a clothing store for fat people or something."
"You know, that's just how I would have set it up..." Gabriel mused, and then there were a couple of candy canes in his hand. He offered one out, before putting the end of the other in his mouth.
Gabriel shrugged. "Maybe that's my calling here. Cause a village-wide obesity problem over the holidays." He didn't sound all that convinced about it though. In fact, he still wasn't entirely sure what to do with himself and to some small degree had fallen back into bad habits. Not that he'd killed anyone yet. He didn't think it would go down well.
Aaron gave his own candy cane a lewd lick, chuckling. "Maybe you can unleash a new deadly sin each month - minus the deadly part, so much."
He'd gotten pretty good at reading Gabriel over the months, at least his version. "Yeah, I really haven't figured out my 'calling' here, either. Don't get me wrong, selling candy and fucking around are both fine ways to pass the time - as you know very well."
"Hey, you could make it snow for Xmas - we could make snow angels and stuff."
"With you about I don't think any sins need any unleashing, do they?" Gabe asked as he watched that tongue move across the poor unsuspecting candy. "You've probably only left the boring ones for me. Besides- Cassie would get his panties in a twist if I had any old-fashioned fun."
He shrugged again, as if it was no problem. It wasn't much of one, really, but everyone seemed to think he was doing much more fucking around out here than he'd actually done. Not that it hurt him or his ego for people to think that. "Guess so. But doesn't this place chew you another one if you don't make yourself useful?"
Now that was a suggestion! Gabriel's amber eyes lit up, bright and excited, and a pure happy grin spread across his face. "Snow? I can do snow." He said, "A whole heap of it. Everywhere."
"I'm focusing mainly on gluttony, sloth, and lust, I suppose." Aaron admitted. "I guess I'm not much of an unholy abomination, what with not being out there making people all evil and stuff."
"See, there you go." The Nephilim chuckled. "You can make it snow and we can go piss christmas carols in it or something."
"You picked all the fun ones so now there's nothing but the crappy sins left for the rest of us." Gabriel agreed with an over-the-top sigh. "Guess I'll make do with boring ones."
Then he stopped, mouth hanging open in horror. "If you're going to piss in it you can make your own snow. Huh," Gabriel said. "You kids have no respect for art."
"Kids do love snow. Which is why I'm banning you from ruining it." Gabriel pointed out, finishing off his candy cane and sucking his sticky fingers clean.
"I wouldn't say that. The Brochesters haven't even said hi to me yet. Apart from Momma Bear you wouldn't know they were here." He shock his head anyway. "I don't know kiddo. Surprise me."
The idea of the Winchester boys doing GAP ads was a good one, and although he probably shouldn't have done, he did note it down for future use, if the situation ever called for it. He doubted it would, but it never hurt to be prepared. He shrugged in response to Aaron's comment though, "Huh, maybe. But frankly, those two are so wrapped up in themselves, they probably have no idea I'm here. Yet." He added.
"You know, I am actually planning a party. So you could come to that." He glanced over his nephew, then added, "Hells, it'll be at my place so as long as you find somewhere unoccupied, you can take your clothes off if you want."
