    Author Notes:

    It’s that time of year, and Tina’s reaching out to her friends, all of whom seemingly have something better to do than hang out with her and Bette over Christmas.

    Tina poked her head our from under the covers and tried to focus one bleary eye on the nightstand clock. 8:04. 8:04?

    She sat up abruptly and flung the covers back, startling Bette.

    “What? What is it?” Bette muttered, pushing the covers out of her face and struggling to sit up. Her voice took a sharp note. “Tina, what’s wrong?”

    Tina had jumped up out of bed and was rummaging around in the closet. “What? Nothing. I’m just late is all.” Tina sniffed experimentally at an armpit. Shrugging, she walked over to the dresser and spritzed on perfume before resuming getting dressed. She looked over her shoulder at Bette, who was wrinkling her nose, probably at Tina’s lack of hygiene.

    “I take it you don’t have time to shower, then,” Bette said, her voice heavy with sleep and sarcasm.

    “Nope!” Tina said cheerily. “I don’t.” She pulled on a baggy pair of jeans and a faded Britney Spears t-shirt, smiling to herself as she punched her arms through the shirt and smoothed it down. It was her little secret that she wore the shirt without irony. She scraped her hands through her hair and pulled it into a hasty ponytail. “I have to drop Angelica at her ice skating lesson, then I have to swing by the office and pick up that script I forgot to bring home yesterday, then shopping, then I collect Angie.”

    Tina collapsed on the floor, pulling on a pair of battered cowboy boots. She stood up awkwardly, her knee cracking loudly. She took a breath and smiled at Bette, who hadn’t moved. “By the way, what do you want for Christmas?”

    Bette gave her a little half smile.

    “Other than that,” Tina said wryly, scooping up her handbag and rummaging around inside.

    Bette flopped back into the pillows, apparently — and uncharacteristically – fixing to laze about all morning. She stretched and yawned. “Surprise me, T.”

    Tina scanned the dresser for a watch, fastening one on and checking the time against the nightstand clock. “You surprise me, babe. Clean up while I’m gone.”

    “Later,” Bette said, her voice muffled by the pillows and fluffy comforter. Tina could only see the top of her curly head.

    “And you needn’t think you’re going to sleep all morning while I run around doing errands. The repairman is coming at 9 to look at the fridge,” she called over her shoulder, receiving only an exasperated groan in response. She closed the bedroom door with a satisfied smile.

    2. Your holiday stories have become one of the seasonal treats to which I look forward. Thank you for another great tale. You always do a fantastic job with the extended framily’s dynamics. The characters sound so true. It is so hard to incorporate the small and large disappointments that happen and yet can be intentionally be put aside so that we allow ourselves to know joy. The happy ending is so much more valuable and meaningful because of how each character got to that place of happiness. I am doing a bad job of trying to tell you how much i love and admire your story. Now, checkling my calendar, there will soon be Three Kings Dat, or Martin Luther King Day. Lincoln and Washington’s birthdays, Valentines Day and (a personl favorite) St. Patrick’s Day. (I just searched for January holidays–there is at least one for every day and each could serve as inspiration for your next chapter. For exanple, there is National Bubble Bath Day!) Please be all-inclusive about holiday celebrations. Pretty please.

    3. loved this… and even thought everyone plans fell through… they all had a great christmas… and the ending was perfect… great story… thanks… PPS

    10. Lovely and well-written as always, omalley! What a thoughtful Christmas gift. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this and your other lovely stories. Have a merry christmas and a blessed new year! :>

    11. Tina is such a giving person not much different from the actress herself. Loved how Bette at first was unhappy about the dolls but as the dolls continued to grow so did Bette’s understanding. What a beautiful Christmas story.
