christmas, the most wonderful time of the year, the snow covering roads and stores packed full of people, but the music and lights make it all better. christmas was rough when you were younger, not coming from a very stable home, so you both agreed to spend tje holiday with florence’s family. you’ve met then a few times, they outright adore you, but your always so nervous to see them again, ‘what if they’ve changed their minds?’ is what you tell florence, only for her to reassure you that’s not the case. i’m as you pull into the driveway on the 23rd of december, her parents house covered in lights and snow, and their front yard covered in all the cars from each family member, you were the only plus one here, it was pretty much just her family, nothing extended. as you get out the car and grab each present from the back seat, her mother, deborah, comes out to greet you, soon everyone follows, her dad, clinton, her two sisters arabella and rafaela, and her brother, toby, her granny pat was inside. they all welcome you and flo and give a helping hand.

now its christmas eve morning and everyone’s relaxing really, it’s only you guys home. florence takes the chilly weather as a trick into cuddling you in front of her family, her hands around your waist and lower back, holding you against her, her head on top of yours as the christmas movie plays and the fire casts a warm light

the morning of christmas day arrives and the sun rises up, you’re cuddled up with florence, blankets upon blankets. she stirs and kisses your head

“merry christmas, baby..”
