New Directions are singing "The Most Wonderful Day of the Year" while they decorate a Christmas tree in the choir room.

[The Most Wonderful Day of the Year by New Directions]

Will walks in. "Hey, guys. What's this?"

Finn smiles. "We're trying to getinto the Christmas spirit, Mr. Schue. Christmas is totally my favorite holiday. And check out this awesome tree. I found it on the side of the road. It must have fell off some guy's car."

Will sees the ornaments. "And the ornaments?"

Santana smirks. "The guy who lives next door finally killed off his elderly mother. When they carted him off, they left the house wide open. I think she was a holiday hoarder."

Will is left speechless. "Uh - And the presents?"

Puck smirks. "I lifted them from a display at the mall. But don't worry. They're empty."

Will shakes his head. "Guys, I appreciate the effort, but this isn't what Christmas is supposed to be like."

Mercedes looks at Will. "For us it is. This tree is like a mascot for Glee Club. We won sectionals two years in a row... and according to everyone at this school, we still suck."

Mike shudders. "I'm pretty sure they just added food coloring to real slush from the parking lot."

Lauren looks unfazed. "You can eat that, you know."

Will shakes his head. "No. I am not gonna let you guys throw yourselves a pity party. Look, I'm the first one to say that things haven't turned out exactly how I would have liked them to this year. But Christmas is all about being grateful for the things that did."

Finn looks confused. "I thought that was Thanksgiving."

"And this year Glee Club is gonna lend a hand to the McKinney-Vento Homeless Children and Youth Program right here in Lima." Will says.

"How are we gonna do that?" Rachel asks.

Will smiles. "The only way we know how. By singing about it. We're gonna go classroom to classroom,caroling, to raise money for McKinney-Vento."

Tina looks scared. "Wait. Classrooms in this school with students in them?"

"Well, if there are no students in them there will be no one to put money in the collection box while we sing." Will says.

Quinn sighs. "We're gonna be killed."

Finn shakes his head. "No, guys, it's Christmas, a time for miracles. We gotta try this."

Will nods and grabs a mini Christmas tree. "Finn's right. So let's start rehearsing. This year, Glee Club's going full Santa."

The New Directions are singing "We Need a Little Christmas" in a classroom.

[We Need a Little Christmas by New Directions]

The teacher throws a shoe at them and they run away.

Students start screaming. "Yeah, that's right. Leave!"

Finn ushers everyone out. "Go, go, go!"

Students continue screaming. "I hate you!"

Finn is still ushering everyone out. "Go, go, go!"

They're now in the choir room where Lauren eats the popcorn that was supossed to be used for decoration.

Rachel is taking her coat off. "I can't believe that that teacher let those students speak to us like that."

"I can't believe she threw her shoe at us." Puck says.

Tina shrugs. "I guess we're done caroling."

Finn shakes his head. "No, we're not. Guys, we can't let what just happened ruin our Christmas spirit. Mr. Schue got us this beautiful tree to inspire us. We're gonna practice now and gear up for round two tomorrow."

Brittany nods. "Pretty soon, no one will bully us. Santa Claus can do anything and this year I asked for the Glee Club to stop getting picked on."

Lauren looks shocked. "She's kidding, right?"

Artie shakes his head. "Guys, this is serious. Listen up. Brittany still believes in Santa Claus."

Charlie looks like his jaw won't come back up from the floor. "You cannot be serious."

Sam shrugs. "Last week, Brittany believed a comb had magic powers. This is kind of a pattern."

Quinn sighs. "She's gonna find out sooner or later."

"Will you guys leave Brittany alone? Let the girl believe in Santa Claus. There's no reason to take away this girl's innocence." Violet defends Brittany.

Santana smiles. "Thank you Violet for defending my girl."

Lauren shakes her head. "Whatever. Okay. Somebody needs to break the news to her." She says and looks at Puck.

Puck holds his hands up in surrender. "Don't look at me. I'm cruel and all, but that's just hard-core."

Artie nods. "Right? That's my point. Hear me out. Remember when you were a kid, how excited you would get when you would think about Santa Claus, how awesome it was? Christmas was the highlight of the year. Why wouldn't you wanna keep someone's world magical for a little while longer?"

Mike is confused. "How?"

Artie smiles. "I've got it all figured out."

Kurt is on a couch in Dalton before Blaine appears with a blue boombox. Violet is not far behind him with Charlie on her heels.

Blaine sets the radio down. "Hey."

Kurt looks surprised. "You scared me."

Blaine chuckles. "Good, because I'm actually Marley's ghost and I'm here to tell you to stop studying so hard. Also these guys begged to come with, and I couldn't pass up an opportunity." He says and reveals Violet and Charlie.

Kurt smiles as he hugs Charlie and then kisses Violet. "What are you two doing here?" He asks.

"Well I came to see my two favorite Warblers, and Charlie wanted to come too. So we're here. Is it a good surprise?" Violet asks.

Kurt smiles. "Baby this is the best surprise ever."

Violet smiles. "I forgot to tell you last week, but you look hot in a Dalton blazer."

Kurt blushes and then turns his attention to Blaine. "What's with the boom box?"

Blaine smiles. "I need you to sing with me. Well, rehearse with me. I got a gig singing "Baby, It's Cold Outside" in the Kings Island Christmas Spectacular."

Charlie looks impressed. "Congrats, Blaine." He says, shooting Blaine a charming smile.

Blaine melts. He swears this boy will kill him.

Kurt smiles. "Ah, a personal favorite. Too bad they'd never let us sing it together. I mean, as two artists."

Blaine nods. "So, you gonna help me out here?"

Kurt smiles. "Anything to get me to stop reading about Charlemagne. As long as Violet and Charlie get to sing too." He says.

Blaine smiles. "Deal. I'll sing with Charlie and you can sing with Violet." He says.

Charlie blushes when he realizes he's singing a duet with Blaine Anderson!

Vurt look at each other and mouth 'Barlie' to one another.

Barlie and Vurt sing 'Baby, It's Cold Outside.'

[Baby, It's Cold Outside by Vurt and Barlie]

Kurt looks to Blaine after the song ends. "I think you're ready."

Blaine nods. "Well, for the record you are much better than that girl's gonna be." He says and leaves.

Will arrives.

Kurt stands up. "Mr. Schuester." He says. He walks up to Will and hugs him.

Will smiles as he hugs his former student. "Oh, good to see you, Kurt." He says and breaks the hug. Will sees Charlie and Violet and smiles.

"What are you two doing here?" He asks.

"Visiting Kurt. But Charlie was also here to hang out with Blaine." Violet answers.

Will nods and turns his attention to Kurt. "How you doing?"

Kurt smiles. "Classes are harder, but the kids are kinder. But I miss you guys a lot though. What brings you here? Are you looking for teaching at a place where pencils aren't primarily used as weapons?"

Will smiles. "Actually, I need some holiday help. I don't know if you know this, but I am really bad at Christmas shopping. This year I drew Sue in the office pool Secret Santa. And I tell ya, I can't think of anything good. And you are so great at shopping, I thought I'd - "

Kurt smiles. "I have the perfect idea."

Violet and Charlie look at each other.

If you drew Sue Sylvester as your secret Santa, you better bring it on.

Will is whistling as he arrives into the choir room on the next day.

Mercedes frowns. "They took everything."

Tina nods. "Including of all Sue's Secret Santa gifts we were gonna give to the homeless kids."

Rachel sighs. "Only further proof that everyone in this school hates us no matter what we do."

Will sighs. "It's not the school. It's Sue. She did this."

Brittany shakes her head. "It wasn't Sue. It was Santa. A light was out in the tree. He'd fix everything. We need to let him do his thing."

Will nods. "O-kay. Are you sure Santa was a boy and not a girl, Brittany?"

Brittany nods. "I swear on my life. Santa's a boy. Everybody knows that."

"It was probably one of the boys on the football team." Rachel whispers to Finn.

Will shrugs. "I guess it wasn't Sue."

Finn sighs. "So our tree is gone. So our presents are missing."

Brittany smiles innocently. "Santa's probably fixing any dents or chips as we speak."

Finn smiles. "All around the world today way worse things have happened to people than this. Sorry, but I'm not gonna let this get us down. 'Tis the season."

Will nods. "I agree. Come on, guys. Let's clean this up." He says and claps his hands. "Come on."

Violet and Charlie clean up as much as they can until the bell rings.

Violet spent the next day in bed. It was that time of the month, and her cramps were terrible. Carole spent the morning with her until she had to go to work, and then Violet was left to her own devices until either Burt, Finn or Kurt got home.

Violet had to hunch over just to walk so she didn't feel any pain. She was constantly going to the bathroom, and even had to tell Charlie about her situation so he could tell Mr. Shue.

Violet made her way downstairs to get her heating pad. She popped two Ibuprofen into her mouth, got her heating pad, and laid out on the couch with a bowl of ice cream, watching Disney movies.

She fell asleep halfway through Hercules.

= = =

Kurt got home before his father and stepbrother. He was shocked to find Violet curled up on the couch, an empty bowl on the coffee table, and the end credits to Hercules playing.

He recognizes what's wrong as soon as he realizes she was watching Hercules.

Kurt gently scoops a sleeping Violet into his arms, grabs her heating pad, and carries her upstairs, putting her in bed.

He carefully slips into his own room to change into something more comfortable. He comes back and carefully slips into bed next to his girlfriend, and brings her closer to him, her back pressed against his chest (not in the sexual way, you pervs).

Kurt kisses her cheek and rubs little circles into the smalls of her back.

"I'm so sorry you have to go through this every month baby."

The New Directions are in Will's apartment, including Violet, who's feeling better since yesterday's over. Sue blows a whistle and Rachel appears with the rest of New Directions.

Rachel smiles. "No one should be alone on Christmas Eve,Mr. Schuester."

"Too much talking, lady, and not enough trimming. Come on. Let's get some Christmas up in here." Sue says.

Will looks at Sue. "I thought you hated the holidays."

Sue smiles at Will. "No, I just hate you."

"Maybe we should just throw popcorn on the tree as decoration." Quinn states.

Finn helps Violet carry in Will's presents. "Here Violet. I can carry those." He says.

Violet rolls her eyes with a smile. "Finn I'm on my period; I'm not dying."

Finn blushes and looks at his feet. "I'm sorry. I just... I wanted to help."

Violet smiles. "Okay then. Will you go get the other load of gifts please? My back's starting to hurt from all the bending I've been doing today."

Finn smiles. "Anything for my favorite sister-in-law."

Violet blushes. "Kurt and I aren't even married... yet," she says.

Finn smirks. "'Yet' makes it an eventuality." He tells his best friend.

Will smiles. "Merry Christmas, Sue."

Sue smiles back. "Merry Christmas, Will."

On Christmas Day, the Hudson-Hummel clan and Violet swap gifts that morning.

Here's what Violet got everyone:
* Finn:  a new pair of drumsticks that are red and black
* Burt:  some new flannels
* Carole:  a scrapbook to put pictures in
* Kurt:  a scrapbook filled with pictures of them from kindergarten/1st grade till now

Violet smiles as Finn opens his drumsticks. "Awesome! I've been needing new drumsticks. Thanks Vi!" He says as he hugs her.

Violet hugs back. "Merry Christmas Finn."

Carole and Burt smile lovingly at Violet when they open their gifts. "Thank you sweetheart. We're very grateful." Carole says and Burt nods.

Violet smiles. "You're welcome, Burt and Carole."

Kurt opens his gift and he's a complete teary-eyed mess when he looks through all the pictures. At the end, there's a handwritten note.

The words I would use to describe you aren't enough. I'd give the world to you if I could. Merry Christmas my love, the king of my heart, my inspiration.

Kurt sobs from pure happiness as he hugs Violet. "Did you like it?" She asks.

Kurt smiles through his tears. "I love it. Did you really mean what you said?"

Violet smiles. "Of course I did. I love you forever and always Kurt Hummel."

Kurt smiles. "I love you forever and always Violet Corcoran."

Violet smiles as Kurt gives her the gift he got her. She opens it to see a beautiful promise ring. "Baby this is gorgeous." She says.

Kurt smiles. "This ring means that I promise to always remain faithful, to want you forever, to one day marry you even though it's too early for an engagement, to keep any promise I make to you, to keep a secret, to always return to you, and to promise to always love you no matter what." He says, holding the ring in his hands.

Violet's now in tears as he puts it on her right hand. Kurt kisses her and smiles. "Merry Christmas baby."

Violet smiles through her tears.

"Merry Christmas Kurt."
