After helping eat all of the Chinese food that was ordered the night before Hailee found herself laid out on the couch. With y/n practically laying on top of her. As Hailee looked around teh living room she saw that not only was it clean but the whole family had decided to spend the night.
Most of y/n's family was strategically spread out around the living room between the massive lounge chairs and the giant sectional couch. However, y/n's grandparents and Pete and Cheri were missing. So Hailee slowly got up to go and investigate their whereabouts leaving y/n to sleep a little longer. She decided to start with the downstairs guest room but, no one was there. Then the front room just off the entryway but it was empty too. Last but not least she decided to search the theater room. Shockingly it was a success. Turns out that's where the remaining family members had started to watch A Christmas Story and must have fallen asleep judging by the menu screen repeatedly taunting Hailee as she attempted to wake up the older family members. Which by the way didn't work.
After failing to wake up part of the family Hailee makes her way back into the living room to wait for someone else to wake up. As she turns the corner making her way back into the living room Hailee finds Zander looking at all of the gifts under the tree and realizes she didn't put out the Santa gifts she had bought and wrapped earlier.
So do you see any from Santa under there?
Zander: No these are all from you and Y/n
*leans down and whispers to y/n* Well between you and I...
*looks around the room*
I think Santa left his gift bag behind.
Z: Nuh Uh. There's no way he forgot.
Yuh Huh.
He definitely did.
Z: Show me!
While Hailee had indeed forgotten to put out the Santa gifts under the tree the night before, she had at least had them in a large Santa-like red velvet bag. That she had taken it out of their closet and put it next to the Christmas tree and fireplace in her and y/n's bedroom. You could say it was Christmas Miracle that Hailee had decided to put the gifts in that bag.
Z: OH MY GOD! HE REALLY DID LEAVE HIS BAG BEHIND! *tries to grab it and falls*
Here hold on let me help you there.
Z: COME ON HAILEE WE GOTTA WAKE EVERYONE UP!
Okay Okay, we can just hold on.
We have to get this downstairs first.
Before Hailee could even make it out of the bedroom door Zander was running down the stairs and running through the halls waking everyone up. He was exclaiming that Santa had brought SO MANY gifts for the family. Not only that but he had also left behind one of his giant gift bags for Zander to keep. Hailee, while moving considerably slower, followed not far behind Zander proving that he was actually right. Santa had indeed left a large bag filled gifts. Everyone although slightly groggy made room for Hailee to sit on the couch with the giant Santa bag nearly as big as her. Once Hailee was seated she started passing out the gifts.
Wait.
*pauses gift giving*
Did you?
I'm not taking questions right now.
*keeps passing out gifts*
Did you forget?
No, I fell asleep there's a difference.
All that matters is that Santa made a delivery.
Wait when did you get all of this?
Just now?
Did Zander not fill you in?
No he did.
*mouths to y/n* Online shopping is great.
So do we know why Santa left it in our room?
He was a little lazy and very forgetful.
But he made his delivery.
Besides Z is happy that Santa left a WHOLE bag for everyone.
Yeah, you're right.
I'm calling it now it's going to be a Christmas morning he remembers.
And one he tells stories about for years to come.
You think so?
Oh, I know so.
The whole family sits and watches as Zander opens up all of his gifts from Santa. Hailee had admitadly gone over teh limit y/n had set for Zander but he was a kid that deserved to be spoiled on christmas. Besides that smile on Zander adn y/n's face was all Hailee needed to justify the minor overspending on christmas.
Once Zander had opened all of his Santa gifts the family moved on and opened all the gifts that were from Hailee and y/n. The exchange of gifts went great and everyone was beyond happy with all the gifts they had received. What had made the family the happiest was the fact that they were able to spend the holiday together again.
A few hours had passed after teh gift exchange that everyone had spent opening, building and playing with all of their gifts before everyone decided it was time to clean up, pack up, and get themselves cleaned up from the party the night before. With the house finally cleaned up and the trash cans full Hailee and y/n sent everyone on their way. But not without inviting them all back over to their place for dinner. As much as Pete and Cheri wanted to host everyone, they couldn't they just didn't have the room that Hailee did at her house.
*closes the door*
*exhales*
*hugs Hailee and squeezes as hard as humanly popular*
Thank you.
*Kissing y/n's forehead*
You're welcome I knew how much you missed them.
I'm sorry we didn't get a christmas for just us.
Well I wouldn't say that.
But we spent the day with my family yesterday?
and the better part of today and they're still coming back.
Well we have right now.
But I gave you most of your gifts.
My love, look at me.
You said you would marry me.
That is the only gift I wanted this Christmas.
You smiling as Zander opened his gifts was another great gift for me too.
But what about all the things I got you?
I loved them.
The hats, sweaters, the pants everything.
Well I do have one more gift for you.
Oh yeah?
Yeah I really do.
*lets go of Hailee and grabs a box in the entry closet*
*grabs a box tucked under the entryway table*
The two exchange their gifts.
Wait.
Our boxes are the same size.
And weight.
Did we?
Get the same gifts?
Guess theres only one way to find out.
on three we both open our gifts?
One
two
three
*rips the paper off of the box*
*rips gift wrap*
Oh my god.
We both got eachother Vans.
I could have reused a box.
I feel like thats unlikley.
Well you go ahead and open yours first.
Okay I'll open them up.
*opens up vans box*
Wait.
Did you just put my old shoes in a box?
Nope.
I hunted down another pair of those leather ones you let me have.
Then I got them embroidered with your initials.
I know you love the ones you had but they started to fall apart.
Thank you baby.
I think you should open yours though.
Okay?
*Flips vans box open*
No way!
*takes a shoe from the box*
I also tracked down a pair of the same sk8 hi's for you.
*takes out both shoes*
I love them.
*kisses Hailee* thank you Amor.
You should take a closer look at them.
*spinning shoe*
They're the same as those they're just black with white detai-
*Refocuses on the heel of the shoe*
*smiles*
*Reads first heel embroidery* (y/n's first name initial)
*reads second heel embroidery* S
Babe *tears up*
I had them made when I knew I wanted to propose.
I don't expect you to take my last name.
But I thought it would be cute for us to have matching shoes since you loved my last pair.
And when we have a wedding date we can add our da-
*drops shoes and Kisses Hailee*
You're cute when you get anxious.
Besides Y/n Steinfeld just sounds right.
Now come on we have a dinner we need to get ready for.
Hailee and y/n went and got cleaned up for the dinner they found themselves hosting. Where they both wore their new matching vans. The dinner went great the food was perfect and the families continued to get to know eachother and crack jokes with eachother. Hailee had really done it, she had given y/n the perfect Christmas.
