Christmas Eve dinner
Izzy and Clary grabbed the festive table, Maryse and Luke turned in the kitchen, while Alec and Jace tried to get the tree in the stand and Simon and Magnus decorated the windows. From the turntable, to tune the Christmas atmosphere are playing carols.
"Ladies, you can," Jace peered into the kitchen and secretly reached for the candy. "You'll leave it," Maryse slapped his hand. "Then you won't eat." Simon and Alec smiled furtively and backed discreetly to the door. Luke just shook his head. "Thank you for your help, Simon." Maryse said goodbye.
"It's okay, Mrs. L," Simon smiled, quickly stuffing his mouth with the confiscated sugar. "You look like a groundhog," she laughed from Clary's tree. Izzy quickly kissed Simon goodbye and returned to Clary.
Maryse lit candles at the table, and a bell rang into the Silent Night. "It's not exactly a silent night," Jace said. "Haha," Alec rolled his eyes and opened it.
"Dad, Max, come on," Alec stepped out of their way. "Hi," Robert looked around. "You must have missed Simon downstairs," Izzy shrugged.
Luke grabbed a portion of turkey while Maryse handed the side dish. They all grabbed glasses of wine and Max of juice. "To bring us all together again in a year," Luke said toast. "Merry Christmas, family."
"Merry Christmas," said the choir.
