Despite everything, Tommy loved Christmas. It wasn't that it wasn't a bittersweet holiday, it did make him miss his mother more than most ordinary days, but it was the time when he got to spend quality time with his brothers and family and friends. Christmas was about showing how much you cared, not just with gifts but with your time and affection, that's the lesson he had learned from his mother and he lived it still.
It was great to have Chandler home, even if Tommy was still a bit on edge about Donovan, but it didn't matter. It was right that Chandler be home for Christmas and that was that.
At Holly's announcement, Tommy popped his head out of the kitchen area. "Sure, of course you make it just in time for lunch" he mock scowls.
