Susanna's POV

       I'm spinning around my room, and my Kindle is blaring out a Christmas play list that I made on Spotify. Anthem Lights, Mandisa, Francesca Battistelli, Jamie Grace, Moriah Peters, Caleb + Kelsey are all serenading me with this beautiful music as I dance to my heart's content. I LOVE CHRISTMAS MUSIC!! Chad would be groaning if he heard that back in Nashville. I grinned at a little prank idea I just had. I know what the group can give Chad for his birthday... a Christmas CD of all of us singing Christmas songs.

        Tomorrow is Christmas. Today is Christmas eve. It's hard to believe how fast the time back here at home has flown by. I am going to miss being here, but at the same time, I miss Nashville too. My thoughts are steered off Gloomy Street and on to Happiness Highway, as Mandisa comes on singing, "What Christmas Means To Me". Seriously that song is just so infectious!  My dancing gets even sillier as I really get into dancing mode.

         Soon it's supper time and I'm loving laughing and just enjoying being with my family. We get out our guitars and are singing and playing different Christmas songs. Especially my Mom's favorite, "Mary Did You Know?". Family is a blessing.

Joey's POV

       My family is having a big get together out today. I'm on my way to the restaurant and the song, "Nothing like Christmas" comes through my car speakers. Man, I love this song. Even Chad admitted to liking Christmas. I join in singing along with my bandmates and... Well myself... I have to say one of my favorite part is Caleb's part singing about that starry night. Before I know it, I'm at the restaurant and the parking lot is packed... and I recognize every vehicle. I go in and am wrapped in a snow cloud of family.

        We have a blast talking, laughing, playing games, maybe even a few pranks, oh and you can't forget the food. It's all over too soon and Mom asks the waitress to take a picture of our motley crew. I'm so not ready and am saying something when the flash goes off. Mom gets the camera, thanking the waitress, and she giggles, then blinks at us, "What?"

        "Let me see." Donald is scrambling to get the camera now and bursts out laughing, pointing at me, he's laughing so hard he's holding his stomach with both hands.

      He holds it out of my reach and I have to laugh at my face in the photo. "Redo!" I protest, rather loudly. I'm met by a chorus of "Nope.", "No way, Joe-say" , and my Mom "I like this one."

.... Pretty sure I just lost that battle. Nah, I don't care!

Susanna's POV

        I have my music turned on softly as I lay in my bed. My eyes are getting heavy when a familiar voice streams through the speakers. My eyes open a little wider as I listen to Joey and Donald singing "I'll Be Home For Christmas". As I listen my heart feels light and my eyes start drifting closed again.

"If only in my dreams..." I hear Joey softly end the song as I drift into sweet dream land.

      That night I dream little Christmas dreams. I'm in a kitchen baking and smiling and singing along with a radio that is spilling out Christmas tunes. Hands come up and cover my eyes, and a giggle escapes my lips.

     "Guess who?" He is trying to change his voice, but I would know that voice anywhere.

     "Well you are either my husband or a really cute sounding burglar." I say as I turn and Joey wraps me in a hug. He helps me in the kitchen for a few minutes and we both end up with flour on our faces from a flour fight that happened earlier. Then we go dancing through the kitchen, dining room, and right into our living room with every hall being decked to the brim.

      Just as Joey had danced me under the mistletoe and is leaning in to kiss me, a voice comes from over in the direction of our couch. "What did I tell you?" He points at his ring finger, and I instantly recognize Leonard, the old man from the toy store.

      I wake up Christmas morning and push the dream to the back of my mind with one last giggle. I'll keep that little goody to myself. I get up and around, ready to open presents. Then we will have my Granny and her husband come up and have lunch with us. Have I mentioned that I love Christmas?
