Once the little one had fallen asleep, they gently placed him in the crib set up next to the living room so he could feel the presence of his family while the adults began the final preparations for that evening’s. dinner. 

When Nicholas arrived, he joined them in finishing up the arrangements in the living room. They even set up a camera to record the evening, capturing the family’s first Christmas with Deborah and James for their collection of home videos. 

By the time the clock struck 6 PM, everyone took a moment to rest and get ready for dinner. 

Later that evening, some special guests arrived for the dinner. 

“Welcome,” greeted Eric and Samantha, 

“Thank you for having us, and Merry Christmas,” George said as he entered the house, shaking off the snow from his coat. 

“Merry Christmas!” Elliot shouted excitedly. 

“Ah!” A certain little brown–haired boy perked up at the sound of his uncle’s voice. 

“James!” Elliot exclaimed, running over to pick him up and noticing that James was dressed as Santa Claus. “Wow… a mini Santa! Look, Dad.” 

“Haha, my grandson looks adorable like that.” 

“And we should take advantage while he lets us,” Samantha added. 

“Eric, could you lend a hand with bringing in what we brought?” George asked. 

The butler and a few servants went outside to bring in everything the Petersons had brought to the party: some food, a cake, a box of flavored sodas, and two bottles of wine. 

Once everything was set up, everyone took their seats at the table to start dinner. 

Naturally, the meal was accompanied by good drinks and several amusing anecdotes from the past few days. 

“So, I spotted this guy eyeing the same console I wanted, but I told him, ‘Oh no, buddy, that’s mine, and then I took off running full speed to get to the counter first,” Elliot was recounting. “But the jerk pushed me, and I went flying into a glass table and cut myself,” he said, rolling up his sleeve to show the bandages as proof of his injury. 

“Ouch, that looks painful,” Deborah remarked, grimacing. 

“Of course it hurt!! was terrified when I saw him lying on the floor, covered in blood,” George complained. “We ended up in the hospital that day, and I was scared he might have damaged a nerve or muscle.” 

“Did anything happen to the guy who attacked you?” Samantha asked. 

“Yes,” Ellipt replied. 

“Of course I had them find the guy! For a moment, I thought he might have ruined my son’s entire right arm 

which would’ve meant he’d have to give up his passion for jewelry design.”

“Did he give you an apology or an explanation for what he did?” Jayden asked. 

“Boy, you really love adrenaline, don’t you?” Nicholas commented. “Isn’t it trendy nowadays to just order everything online?” 

“That’s exactly what I told him,” George said, taking a sip of wine. 

“The important thing is that nothing serious happened, Deborah added. 

“Exactly, it was just a scare,” Elliot said. “And about that earlier question–yes, Dad had them find the guy, and he was brought to the hospital to apologize to me! 

“Did he?” Nicholas asked. 

“Well, the idiot didn’t come alone–he was accompanied by his twin sister. After apologizing, he explained that he did it because he absolutely had to get that console to give to her,” Elliot began, smiling as he looked at his plate of food. “In fact, it was because of her that we found him since they were looking for me to apologize. They even offered their savings and the newly purchased console to sell and pay the medical bill.”
