Summary
It was supposed to be an easy trip to the store. One last grocery run before finals ended and the Haus was locked up for the break. But Holster had wandered out of the food aisles and into the seasonal part of Wal-Mart and Ransom’s first mistake had been following him with their cart. His second was not walking away once Holster skipped past the holiday candies and into the decorations.
“We should get one.”
“No.”
“Rans, we need to.”
“No.”Holster insists that the Haus needs a Christmas Tree.

“Um, so I know it’s bad luck not kiss someone if you’re under the mistletoe with them," Tango said quickly. "Like, super bad luck. My abuelita said that you get seven years bad luck if you didn’t kiss someone when you got caught under the mistletoe. Or maybe that was if you broke a ladder... I dunno, but either way, I would kiss anyone I got stuck under the mistletoe with, even one of Whiskey’s gross LAX bro friends, as long as all parties consented to the kiss. Of course, I’d make sure to tell whoever I got stuck under there with that it was bad luck not to kiss, but I would also be okay with not kissing them if they didn’t want to be kissed and-”
Tango goes to the Haus looking for pie and ends up with an eyeful.

Summary
"Its crooked.”
He stepped back from the snowman he'd been working on for the better part of the last hour to look at Caitlin. “What?”
“The snowman,” Caitlin dumped tote bag she was carrying at her feet and motioned with her mittens, looking way too adorable in her winter jacket and sweats. Her nose was red from the cold, her wild curls hidden under sharks hat with a turquoise pompom. But her expression was serious, eyebrows drawn together. “Its head is crooked.”
Chowder looked at the snowman. “It's not crooked.”
Caitlin leveled him with a look. “Babe, I love you but if you can't see that its head is crooked, I’m seriously reconsidering asking you to be on my team.”Caitlin's in the snowman building contest to win. Chowder's just in it for her tbh.

Summary
“This is absolute bullshit guys,” Kent said, arms crossed and doing his best to channel all of his anger into his eyebrows like he’d seen his mom do a thousand times. It had to be a trait that was passed down, right?
“We drew straws man,” Swoops said, not looking intimidated by Kent’s eyebrows at all.
“Wheels rigged the draw,” Kent said.
Wheels gasped, and clutched his heart. “I’d never.”Kent's not happy about drawing the short straw to sit on Santa's lap for the annual Aces Christmas photo.

“Have you ever heard the twelve days of Christmas?” Shitty asked, voice intense. He sounded like he was gearing up for a rant.
“Yes Shitty, I have ears at Christmas time,” Lardo said. She mentally went through the lyrics as best she could from memory, wondering what could be problematic about the song.
“What’s with all the freaking birds?”Shitty figures something out about the 12 Days of Christmas Song so he calls Lardo.

Summary
Holster and Jack were arguing about whether it was better to sled headfirst or feet first when Dex had noticed that Nursey wasn’t participating in the conversation. Dex had nudged Nursey and raised an eyebrow. He knew that Nursey had grown up mostly in New York and was subsequently shocked when Nursey quietly admitted that he’d never been sledding before, and insisted that after dinner they go out. Everyone needed to barrel down a hill on a piece of plastic and foam at least one in their life.
Dex takes Nursey out to go sledding for the first time.

Summary
Fighting with Jack sucked.
It was exhausting and stupid and this was supposed to be the season of joy and giving, not the season of fighting with your boyfriend.
Bitty had written his last final of the semester at nine am yesterday and had been on a two p.m. train from Samwell to Providence. He’d been able to catch the last Providence home game before Christmas in person and then was going to spend Jack’s two days off with him in his apartment before they both had to catch flights; Jack to Arizona and Bitty to Atlanta. They had planned on using these two days as their own Christmas celebration, exchanging gifts, making cookies for both of their families, and just generally enjoying each other’s company. It was their first official Christmas together as a couple and they wanted it to be special.Bitty and Jack have their first major fight as a couple. Over Céline Dion.

“Can you check the breakers Dex?” Bitty asked. He wrapped the pie crust in plastic, trying to decide if it was worth the slight loss of temperature if he opened the fridge real quick to put the dough in.
Dex shook his head. “Whole block is out. Wouldn't do anything. You could stick that out on the porch.”
“What?”
“The pie crust. It'd keep outside. It's cold enough,” Dex repeated.
Bitty gasped dramatically. “If you think I'll put my pic crust out in the snow, you've got another thing coming William Poindexter.”The Haus loses power before everyone goes home for the holidays.

Summary
“They’re saying it’ll be one of the biggest storms of the year,” she said.
“’They’ really suck.” Kent leaned back against the wall, out of the way of the many people running through the airport in hopes that if they hurry their flight might not be cancelled. He didn’t blame them for trying.
“I’m sorry hun.”
“Don’t let dad eat all the turkey before I get there,” Kent said.
“I hope he doesn’t eat all the turkey- I bought a 26-pounder by accident.”
Kent gets stuck at the airport on Christmas Eve. He still gets a Christmas feast though.

Summary
“Did you know that Christmas is a myth invented by evil capitalists in order to make people enter unwillingly into a social contract in which they’ll always be miserable because it’s a cycle that never ends?”
Dex looked over at Nursey with a furrowed brow. “You’re wrong, but okay.”
“No seriously. Gift giving is the absolute worst thing that humans have ever socially constructed.”
“I want to ask why, but I’m worried your answer is gonna make me want to punch you.”Nursey's pissed off at the social conventions that surrounded gift giving. He's not ready for that kind of commitment.
