Buck entered the apartment, he and JD shared, only to find it completely transformed. He was so shocked he dropped the keys on the floor instead of on the table.

"What the hell..." Buck said.
"Do you like it?" JD asked as he approached his room mate.
"Like it? ...Isn�t this taking it a bit too far..." Buck was slightly shocked.
"I�m sorry. But you said that it was okay." JD said with a sad look on his face.
"Hell, Kid, I�m sorry. Yeah... yeah I do like it." Buck said.
"You�re lying, aren�t you?" JD said.
"No, Im not. It�s just a bit much for me. I�m not used to this."
EZ
JD smiled slightly as Buck slowly walked into the apartment taking in the scenery. JD had put up the christmas decorations. He had filled the apartment with lights, angels, santas and tinsel. Buck had agreed when JD had asked him if he could decorate the apartment but what Buck didn�t expect was this much stuff.
Finally Buck sunk down in one of the chairs in the livingroom, just infront of the big christmas tree. JD sat down in front of him and studied him.
EZ
"You okay?" JD asked.
"Yeah, I am. Just a bit surprised. I love the tree though." Buck smiled.
"How was your date?"
"Sheila... it was great."
"That�s good. You sure you�re okay with this?"
"Yeah, I�m okay. "
"Well, I really wanted to do something special this year." JD smiled as he headed for the kitchen.

3 weeks later it was the day before christmas eve and JD was almost jumping up and down with excitement. He had been longing for christmas ever since he put up the decorations and now it was finally happening.
JD had also decorated the office of the ATF Team 7 much to Chris� dislike. He had been about to tell JD off when Buck had told him how much JD loved christmas. Chris had then sighed and just accepted all the miniature christmas trees, angels and other things.
It had been very slow the past week and Chris decided to send his agents home. He went out of his office to find Ezra, Vin, JD and Buck sitting together talking and laughing. Josiah and Nathan were both infront of their computers, probably finishing up for christmas.

"Boys?" Chris said and they all looked up. "Go home."
"What?" Vin said.
"Go home." Chris said again.
"Really?" JD asked.
"Yep, go home. Merry christmas." Chris smiled.
"About that..." JD began. "All of you are invited over to me and Buck on christmas day for some dinner and so on. But no one needs to buy any gifts."
"I�d love to come." Vin said immediately, glad to have found something to do.
"I�m flattered that you asked me and I will happily be there." Ezra said. "Shall I bring anything?"
"Perhaps something to drink." Buck smiled. "That goes for all of you."
"We�ll be there too." Josiah said and Nathan nodded.
"Chris what about you?" Buck asked and everyone turned towards their boss.
"I�ll be there." Chris smiled.
"Great!" JD smiled happily.
"Now, let�s go home." Chris said and they all headed for the elevator.

On christmas day, JD and Buck had been in the kitchen most of the day. JD had dragged Buck out of bed at, what Buck himself called it, an unearthly hour. Buck was now in the process of taking the turkey out of the oven. JD was setting the table while Bing Crosby�s "White Christmas" was playing on the stereo.
Soon there was a knock on the door and JD went and opened. Outside were Chris, Ezra and Vin all nicely dressed, Ezra was even wearing a tie with santas all over it. Not many minutes later Josiah and Nathan arrived carrying "something to drink".
The Seven friends all sat down at the table and started eating. JD was slightly amazed to see Chris smile and relax as much as he did. The same thing went for Ezra and Vin, who were also very happy and relaxed. The men all talked and laughed as they ate the good food, drank and listened to the christmas music from the stereo.

"It�s snowing!" JD suddenly squeaked and jumped out of his chair and rushed up to the window.
"I thought you had noticed." Vin said. "It�s been snowing for quite a while."
"Quite alot of snow." Buck noted as he took another piece of turkey and stuffed it into his mouth.
"I want to go out!" JD said.
"Can we perhaps digest the food first?" Ezra said. "I�m feeling a bit nauseaus."
"Shouldn�t have eaten so much, so fast. I told ya!" Nathan smiled.
"I know, mr Jackson. But I was hungry and it all looked so delicious." Ezra said.
EZ
45 minutes later JD was getting anxious. They had all finished eating and now they were just sitting and relaxing. JD was up and pacing the room, he wanted nothing more than to go out and enjoy the snow that was still falling. Finally he had had enough and he headed for the door.
EZ
"If you�re not joining me, I�m going myself." He said and pulled on a warm jacket, a scarf and went out.
"Perhaps its best we join, mr Dunne." Ezra said and rose from his chair. "I mean he invited us here and from what you�ve told us, mr Wilmington, he has done most of the work."
"Yep. I�m going too." Buck said and soon the six men all were dressed and headed down the stairs out to JD.
"Enjoying the snow, JD?" Chris said as they all stood behind him.
"You came!" JD exclaimed. "Thanks."
"Oh, nothing to talk about, mr Dunne. I quite enjoy the snow, myself." Ezra smiled.
"Isn�t the snow just.. Aow! What the hell was that for, Buck?" JD said as he was hit by a snowball in the head.
"I gotta have some fun." Buck laughed as JD brushed the snow out of his black hair.
"Fun, that�s not fun. ...This is fun!" JD said as he balled up a snowball and threw it at Buck, it hit him on the arm.
"I�m gonna get you for... ooooff!" Buck said as he was hit by another snowball directly in the face. "Who threw that?"
"Me." Ezra said as he balled up another snowball and threw it at Buck. The problem was that Buck bent over to pick some more snow and the snowball hit Chris in the head. "Mr Larabee, I... I... Aw hell!"
"That�s it, this means war!" Chris said as he balled up a snowball and threw it a Ezra and it hit the gambler directly in the face.
EZ
Soon a huge snowball fight had started between the Seven. Chris, Buck and Vin against Ezra, JD, Josiah and Nathan. It soon became aparent that Vin was as good a snowball thrower as he was a sharpshooter. Nathan was very fast in balling up snowballs and JD was fast in getting them off towards their intended target.
45 minutes later Ezra, JD, Josiah and Nathan had admit their defeat and they all back up to the apartment, quite cold and wet. But they were all laughing and as they got out of their wet coats they all sunk down infront of the fireplace. Buck soon came out of the kitchen carrying a tray with seven glasses of eggnog. They all took one glass each and sat there, slowly sipping and just staring at the fireplace.
An hour later they had all fallen asleep Josiah, Nathan and Vin in the couch and Ezra, Chris and Buck on the floor. JD was the only one that was awake, he sat and watched his best friends. He took another sip of the eggnog and whispered:
EZ
"Merry Christmas."
