There were some memories of Christmas that had come back to him over the years. Memories of Christmas as a child before he lost everything. The tree was huge and always expertly decorated by Mama Diane herself. Flowers, handcrafted wooden ornaments, small white lights, and of course, the beautiful white abalone shell star with its golden fixtures on the very top of the tree shone like a beacon in his mind. There was always an abundance of presents down at its base all wrapped in designer wrappings sitting neatly atop the tree skirt which was a white faux-fur throw rug. The fireplace was always lit with the stockings hanging also stuffed to the brim with presents and small goodies. The place smelled of the pine tree, burning wood, and the amazingly enjoyable ham feast Mama Dian would cook.

Morty and summer would run through the opulent vacation cabin home nestled into the forest. It was the rare occasion he would get to see his mother, Beth, and get to catch up if only for one night. It was warm and loving and full of celebration when they all got together, one of the only times he had seen Rick stay at home for so long. The only time they stopped training and took a break. Rick would adamantly stay up to "catch" Santa with him and summer only to put all of the gifts under the tree when they were asleep. The next morning he would settle down with them and wait for Dian to wake them up, putting on the charade of being disappointed that they fell asleep and didn't catch him.

Years later Christmas would look a little different, but it was still all the same tender feeling. He would call off work to decorate the small apartment him and Erick lived in. He would fain sickness, but by the time Erick came home the tree would be up with some lights, a small train would make its rounds at the trees base, their two stockings hung on the wall above the couch, and a small dinner for the two of them in the freshly cleaned apartment. They would pile onto the couch and watch whatever was on TV while a small space heater warmed the up their small cozy home. They would go and see Uncle Alpha and Jules and his two most beloved brothers Shep and Pete where they would spoil him with gifts, even Alpha would get him a little something. He would get a handwritten letter from Diddles and even one from Alpha from the adoption center. It was a smaller gathering, it wasn't designer brands, glamour, and opulence, but it was still everything he could have asked for. It was love, it was a home, it was a family Christmas.
