Chapter 116 - Christmas morning

They are awoken by the smell of pancakes wafting through the house. Looking outside the sun is just coming up. Astila groans half asleep does his wife know the meaning of sleeping in. Hearing the others moving around he sighs and gets up. He goes to the closet and gets a very special gift from there grinning to himself hoping she will like it. Since Aisling promised Christmas morning would just be for those in the house he goes down to breakfast in his nightclothes. When he reached the bottom of the stairs he noticed he was not the only one. There were Debra and her family dressed in matching pajamas. Everyone had the same idea. Aisling comes in and hands him a cup of coffee. Patting the seat beside her.
