It was 6:00 and time for their holiday festivities in the break room. Sara was surprised to arrive and see that everyone, including Sophia and Grissom, were already there.

"I'm I late or are you all just early?"

"We're early," Cath said, "But that doesn't matter because we can start now."

Sara went and took a seat by herself, far away from Greg and his singing tree. Catherine took her gifts and placed them under the tree along with everyone else's'.

The party began; everyone was served some brownies and they listened to carols and Greg read them all the night before Christmas; with his alterations of course.

"'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the lab, all the people were stirring and enjoying Catherine's Xmas party…"

Even Grissom laughed with everyone else. Before long, the party was calming down and everyone was anxious to open gifts.

Catherine went first. Her first gift, from Warrick, was a cute card and a blue shirt with a rose on it. She also got a mall gift card from Nick and the same from Greg. Sophia got her some perfume and she got the Bath and Body Works gift set from Sara and Grissom just gave her a card and some money.

Next was Nick. He just got Cd's and games. Even though it wasn't much, he was still thrilled. Greg also got some CD's and games, although Grissom gave him a book store gift certificate. Sophia and Brass opened their gifts, which were mostly cards and money and finally it was down to Sara and Grissom.

Sara was handed one gift at a time. From Catherine she got a cute t-shirt and a card. Greggo got her flowers and a card that had a picture of him, standing lonely under some mistletoe.

"Cute Greggo, but I think you're going to stay lonely," she laughed.

Greg faked a frown, but then smiled, "A guy can dream, can't he?"

Next, she opened Nicky's gift. Nothing special, just some Cd's, but she thanked him none the less.

Brass gave her a card and so did Sophia, nothing special there, but she had been waiting to see what Grissom had gotten her. However, that was the end of her gifts and she looked away from everyone, utterly disappointed.

But, she as she went and sat down on the other side of the room, Grissom whispered to her, "Don't worry, I didn't forget you."

She felt all of the disappointment leave her and she settled in her seat to watch Grissom open his gifts.

One by one, he opened the packages and thanked the giver. Sara's was last, but she decided not to give it to him then. She would give her present when he gave his.

When their little party ended, Sara helped clean up and then found Grissom in his office, gathering up his things to leave.

"Hey, enjoy the party?" she asked.

"It was fun, and yourself?"

"If you call sitting next to a singing tree and listening to the Night Before Christmas and all through the lab….. fun, then oh yes I had tons of fun tonight." She laughed lightly at her own comment. "So, about your gift… I'd rather give it to you now then have given it to you before in front of everyone."

"I agree." He reached in a drawer and pulled out a small box wrapped in green and red paper with a small white bow on top. "Merry Christmas, Sara."

She, in turn, took out her own gift and handed it to him, "Merry Christmas, Grissom."

She opened up her own gift first and he watched her silently. She took the lid off of the white box and found a beautiful silver necklace with an Evenstar pendant.

"It's beautiful…" she said.

"Don't mention it," he said and then opened his gift. It was a bug encyclopedia. "Ah… another great bug book to add to my collection. Thank-you."

"I thought it would suit you," she smiled, "And I was wondering if you'd like to go to New York City with me…to see a play this upcoming weekend…."

Inside she knew she had to ask, but she also knew that his answer would be no. If he turned down her offer for dinner a year ago, what would make him want to go to New York City with her now?

He didn't answer as they both started to walk out the door, but Greg who had been walking by stopped them and pointing upward in the doorway.

"Mistletoe... You know what that means." He smiled and stood there, arms folded, waiting.

Non-hesitantly, Grissom leaned down and kissed Sara on the lips and then said,
"Sure, Merry Christmas, Sara."

As they both walked out of the building they left Greg there in shock.

"Sure what?" he asked himself and shook his head. Much to Sara's liking, he would never know.

The end…Hope you liked my little fluffy holiday GS fic D Happy Holidays everyone! :)
