Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
our troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.

Through the years
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

The fire popped cheerfully in the fireplace, the light reflecting off the walls of the living room, Christmas carols playing softly in the background. Presents had been opened, wrapping paper and boxes lying scattered around the living room. Everyone was sprawled out in various places in Mac and Stella's living room. Flack and Jess were curled up on the two seater overstuffed chair, sharing a glass of eggnog, while Lindsay sat at the foot of the chair with Danny's head in her lap. She was laughing with Jess as they teased Flack and Danny about something.

Sheldon and Addison sat on the couch with Stella and Mac; Adam curled into a beanbag next to the couch with Kendall sideways in his lap. The mood was light and fun as they sat talking and laughing, enjoying each other's company. For once everyone's minds weren't on a case, victim or suspect, their troubles miles away.

"Can I have everyone's attention please?" Mac spoke loudly drawing everyone's attention. Quieting down they turned their attention to him as he stood near the tree with a glass of wine in his hand.

"I'm not gonna make it all formal, because this is Christmas and we aren't at work." Laughter rippled through the room. "But I just want to say thank you from me and Stella for coming and spending Christmas with us. It's the second year in a row that we've had Christmas dinner here with everyone."

He paused for a moment. "After Claire died, I was alone. Having no family, I worked to fill my time. Then Stella pushed her way into my life and wouldn't leave," he said with a grin. "And slowly it began to fill with people as all of you came into it. Before I knew it you all had become my family."

Stella rose from the couch to stand with Mac, clasping his hand with hers. He smiled down at her for a moment, rubbing her baby bump gently, before continuing his speech. "Thank you, all of you, for being my family." Raising his glass in a toast he smiled. "Merry Christmas!"

Glasses raised, his toast was returned with a chorus of "Merry Christmas!"

Seeing that Mac was done with his speech, Flack pulled Jess up of the chair they were sharing. "We have some news for everyone." Jess held out her left hand showing off her engagement ring. "We're getting married!"

The women jumped up to hug Jess, talking over each other as they asked questions and voice their excitement. Flack got a round of handshakes, slaps on the back, and cracks about catching a girl way out of his league.

"This calls for another toast." Mac said as he poured champagne for everyone but sparkling cider for Stella.

"To Flack and Jess. May you have all the happiness in the world. Congratulations!" Stella said.

"To Flack and Jess!" Glasses were tapped all around, the champagne downed quickly.

Stella spoke again. "I know that it's a blizzard outside and it will be difficult getting home you all are welcome to stay the night we have plenty of blankets and pillows."

Each couple glanced that their other half for moment, speaking silently, before turning and nodding to Stella. "Great I'll go get the blankets and set everything out." Moving to the hall closet she pulled blankets and pillows out throwing them on the floor in the living room. They were divided up, everyone grabbing a spot to stretch out, leaving the couch for Stella and Mac as she was pregnant and couldn't sleep on the floor.

As they lay out for the night, talk continued, slowly quieting as one by one they dropped off to sleep. The fire burned low, dimming the room, the Christmas lights twinkling merrily. They slept on, no more troubles or worries surrounding them. Just the warmth and love of family wrapping around them letting some of them sleep easy for the first time in a long time.

And Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas….now.
