You and Simon have been friends for a long time, especially since three years ago, when you both had no one to celebrate the new year with, because you two did not have a close-knit and happy family like the others from your squad. and now it has become like a custom for you. before December even came, you were already rushing to decorate the barricades and the base in a New Year's style, Simon was not surprised.

after a long time since Captain Price did not agree, saying that it was only for children, he could not resist your persistence and still agreed.

now the whole team is decorating your lounge, putting up a Christmas tree, decorating it, and hanging garlands here and there.

it was approaching evening. in the evenings it was always cold, because of which you had to turn on the heater and wrap yourself in blankets, which you did, sitting with the whole team on the couches in the lounge.

"I made cocoa, who wants?" Ghost's familiar voice spoke as he walked in with several mugs of hot cocoa, knowing that no one would refuse. After handing out mugs to everyone, leaving only two for himself and you, he plopped down next to you on the couch, sighing tiredly.
