It’s December 24th—Christmas Eve! Everyone is gathered at Joe’s house to celebrate the holidays.

You're sitting by the fireplace to stay warm after being outside in the cold. As you look around, you notice everyone appears very.. happy. There’s a sense of comfort, with everyone treating each other like family, which is truly heartwarming. You smile and take a seat between five of your friends. Joe smiles widens as he gives you a warm hug makes you feel appreciated. To your left, Ross is engaged in conversation with Andrew, and on your right, Zubin and Rob are cuddling. You feel a sense of happiness being with these close friends.

Joe suggests, “So! Should we bake cookies, watch a movie, open a gift each, or play games? We’re going to do all of these, but what should we start with?”

Everyone agrees on baking, and you all enthusiastically jump out of your seats and head to the kitchen, laughter filling the air.
