Book 2: Chapter 3 - Christmas Day.

   I wake up the next morning to the sound of the bedroom door squeaking open. Hesitantly, I open one eye and notice Tobias and Ivory poke their head around the door. I stifle a laughter, still half asleep as I notice the Santa hats on their heads that are currently flashing red and yellow. Beside me, Jake stirs in his sleep, oblivious to the Christmas cheer he's about to receive from his cousins.

   "Merry Christmas!" Tobias and Ivory both scream loudly, jumping up and down. I laugh, reaching up to rub at my tired eyes. Jake almost jumps straight out of his skin, bolting upright in a protective pose.

   "What the - " He yells, his blue eyes wide in surprise. Upon noticing his cousins, he groans and drops down onto the bed with his hand over his eyes.

   "You're both adults!" Jake protests. Ivory and Tobias look at one another before shrugging.
