“Eadric, are you sure that Nyke will wear the Santa suit?”

He chuckled. “No. But no one else would and he’s apparently too busy to answer, so he got nominated.”

As they neared the ship, bags and bags of decorations in their claws, Eadric reached out.

Are they distracted?

The last thing Eadric wanted was to walk into the females and ruin the fun. Or, well, he hoped it was fun.

All clear, Deo replied.

Dropping the boxes and bags, they shifted. Kal stretched his hands.

“Next time we look into the thing called a car,” Kal said.

Kal and Eadric carried in a few loads of decorations into the commons of the ship. Eadric might have gone a little overboard, but when did a dragon ever do anything halfway. He wasn’t about to be outdone. Ever.

One of the shiny furry garland things tickled his nose as it peaked out of a bag balanced on top of another. Yeah. This might have been overboard.

“Where do we put these?” asked Kal.

Looking around, Eadric didn’t suppose it mattered. In a few minutes this place would be full of life and decorations and this Christmas.

As they set boxes everywhere, each of his brothers grabbed one and went to work.

What is tinsel? asked one.

Look at the back of the package, get the tree.*

What tree?

Eadric brought in a box nearly as tall as the biggest of them.

This tree. He responded.

It’s in a box? came another response.

It’s all you can buy this time of year, we were told. Eadric ripped open the packaging and pulled out a green fuzzy stick.

They all looked at it.

Let me guess, there're instructions for that too? asked another.

What kind of tree is in a box? Is it alive?

Do they assemble all their trees?

The questions fired faster than the decorations went up, but they did it. Working on each assignment as any military trained warrior did.

One hour later they all stood back and marveled at their work.

“It looks like something threw up,” said Kal.

“Wasn’t there some creature that ate light up shit like this?” asked Barak.

They all stood in a line against a wall, careful to not touch anything breakable. They all shrugged.

“This is what humans do for a celebration? You’re sure?” asked Deo.

Eadric poked at a small device called an iPod and music played.

“The lady at the All Christmas All the Time store said that this is what every human does. Well, there can be something called snow, but I didn’t understand how to make that.”

Kal clapped his brother on the back. “I think Lilly will be surprised. Maddie has seen this before, I believe anyway. I’ve tried to pry a bit, but every time I brought up holidays she got suspicious so her memories weren’t very clear. I have seen this fancy tree though. This looks correct.”

Walking over to the tree, Kal and Eadric placed several packages underneath.

“What are those?” asked Deo.

Eadric stood a little taller. “Gifts. There is one for each of you from Kal and myself.”

Looks of confusion and surprise passed between the brothers. Surprising any of them was rather impossible.
