Next 100 word challenge: "joy".

" Ryan! It's the season of joy!" Seth whined.

Ryan glared at his brother before turning back to his book.

"So maybe this Chrismukkah hasn't been the best, but it's not over yet!" Seth continued.

"And that's good why?" Ryan grumbled.

"There's still time for everything to work out!"

Ryan looked up. "Caleb is Lindsey's dad. Kirsten is in the closet after throwing a vase at Caleb's head, and Lindsey won't talk to me. This will be an Atwood Christmas if the cops show up."

The doorbell rang. They shared a look.

"I'm not answering that." Seth declared.

Ryan nodded.
