• After quickly cutting through the trunk, Dean shifted to his armored form and threw the large pine tree over his shoulder to carry back to the house…..Cas teleported up to the attic and back with another box , humming carols happily to himself and wondering what the decorations would look like….Bobby scowled down at the tangled strings of lights in his lap, grumping that it sucked to be the only one in the group with any patience….Sam used his telekinesis to finish winding the lights in concentric circles around the upper branches of the tall tree, while contemplating the best way to evenly distribute the tinsel….Gabriel crawled out from under the sofa and changed back to his usual shape. As he dusted himself off he wondered how many more cords he would have to plug in.
  
• Dean was going to kill Gabriel - he was the only one who would dare desecrate Dean’s beloved Impala like this. Dean strode forward to rescue his baby, which was currently sporting a fuzzy red “nose” up front and 2 stuffed “antlers” from each side window.
  
• Gabriel added another scoop of ice cream to his bowl and started to rummage through the cupboards for some toppings, studiously ignoring what was going on in the living room. The Winchesters had decided to educate Cas about the holiday classics and were going through a stack of their holiday DVDs. There was no way Gabriel wanted to get caught up in that mush marathon! He changed his mind when he heard the theme for their latest selection --Chevy Chase is awesome!
  
• Sam’s enjoyment of the carolers was interrupted by snickers from Dean and Gabriel following the “don we now our gay apparel” line. Fortunately Bobby got them under control by rolling over their toes with his chair. Glancing over at Cas, Sam surmised that he would have a lengthy explanation of the lyrics ahead of him--the “fa-la-las” alone would take forever
  
• Dean frowned as he watched Cas stare avidly at the misshapen snowman. He had never seen that expression on his face before. Although considering the alien’s natural form was a glowing ball of light, maybe to him the lumpy snowman looked sexy?
  
• The off-white concoction was less than appealing. They had thought eggnog would be an easy thing for Cas to make, but the shells floating in the glop indicated otherwise. By silent mutual agreement they all came to the same conclusion - no way was Cas helping to bake the cookies.
  
• Dean had thought he had done a good job of wrapping until he saw what must be Sam’s presents: each had neat edges, gift tags, and color-coordinated curly-cued bows (how girly). Dean placed his packages under the tree at a safe distance from what had to be Gabriel’s contribution--several boxes wrapped in colorful Sunday comics. He pondered if he should change to his steel form when it was time to open Gabriel’s presents. One thing was for certain, Gabriel better not be giving Cas porn! (not when Dean could appreciate it more)
  
• Gabriel scowled as he listened to Cas enthuse about Santa’s impending visit. As the shapeshifting illusionist of the group he just knew he was going to end up doing the impersonation. The only up side was that with Cas keeping watch there was no way Dean could light a fire in the fireplace or otherwise prank “Santa”. They had just better remember to leave out some cookies!
  [while playing his role Gabriel discovered that in addition to leaving the traditional cookies, they had also left carrots for Santa’s supposed reindeer (Sam’s idea), a hamburger with all the fixings (Cas’s idea), and a warm can of beer (Dean’s idea)]
  
• “Balls” Bobby thought to himself as he removed the wrapping from the lumpy present. A quick look at the others showed that yes, Cas had gotten them all festive ties for Christmas. Dean had a rather sickly smile on his face as he held his tie at arms length, wincing slightly as it piped up with a tinkly Christmas carol (it was difficult to tell which one from the quality of the “music”). Sam was doing a bit better at faking enthusiasm, though he was eyeing the flashing lightshow on his present a bit dubiously. Gabriel seemed genuinely pleased with his scratch-and-sniff tie. Bobby looked down at his present again and reflected that although it was gaudy, at least it had no exciting extras. Then he had an evil idea. He was sure he could guilt the others into posing for a picture wearing Cas’s gifts. That would make a wonderfully embarrassing Christmas card next year. Cas bounced happily in place as he saw a big smile bloom on Bobby’s face - he must really like his tie!
