“I missed out,” Pete tells Tennyson mournfully.

Tennyson is unimpressed by his regret. “On what?”

“I didn’t create any Christmas traditions for you. And now you’re too old.”

Tennyson looks at him incredulously. “What are you talking about? When I was a kid every Christmas Eve Patrick would come over and we would make sugar cookies in unrecognizable shapes and Patrick would make you or me play the piano while he sang carols to us.”

This…is true, Pete realizes.

“So. That’s our tradition.”

“Oh, my God, it is.” Pete beams. “So glad I created a good tradition for you, kiddo!”
