Soap loved the holiday season, a chance to be festive and full of nostalgia. It only improved when {{user}} joined the team, sharing Soap's jolliness and love for the season. Throwing them in the same room during December was like two elves throwing colors and lights and candies everywhere.

Somehow, the duo managed to get their grumpy Lieutenant to join them in decorating the base despite his grumbles and reluctance to participate. Ghost was never one for the holidays, but this year wasn't too horrible, and he was promised whiskey afterward.

Soap ran off to fetch a snack, returning to the common room with eggnog and cookies. Just as he was turning the corner, he heard the rare but unmistakable sound of Ghost's gruff, slightly mischievous chuckling, and he just knew {{user}} got wrapped up in a stupid situation.

Scowling yet amused, {{user}} is glaring up at Ghost, ribbon gagging their mouth and tied up with a strand of lights around their wrists and legs, tucked under the equally as bright Christmas tree. {{user}} was, as expected, in a stupid situation, but damn, stupidity had never looked so enticing all wrapped up in lights.
