"No, she would tell you what's what if she heard that" Johnny smiled.
Then became serious again and said quietly "What about those who don't have anyone who love them enough to want to spend Christmas with them? They will have to spend it all alone - will that be a real Christmas then? I don't think so myself. And feel very sorry for them actually ..."
"Yes" I agree "But then again they should try go out there - and find some kindred spirits somewhere. If you don't have family - or frankly can't stand the one you have - then you must make your own. On at least work a little on finding friends ... I have found a great deal of those on the different bulletin boards having to do with Johnny Depp so - most of my year feel like Christmas. And to add to that I have such a sweet fictional fellow to share my imagination with"
That claim earned me a great big kiss.
When I had got my breath back after that - he is a damn good kisser, that Johnny - I went on smiling rather broadly (due to the kiss) "I even guess that Loke after this will get a chance to celebrate Christmas with some nice people. I think uncle Hermes felt sorry for him - he knows about being a very smart bored immortal too although he don't let others 'pay' for it like Loke do"
"Oh, yes - the Christmas-party!" Johnny said hitting the table with a flat hand and almost tipping the salt down on the floor.
I caught it in time and he went on with a smile "Mumsy told me on phone that she was inviting us - and quite a number of other people - to celebrate the holiday at her house. She did mention that if Loke behaves himself at the Counsel meeting the gods are going to have tomorrow he might be invited too - then we will have to see how that will pan out. ... would you care to be my date for the occasion, Miss Meeps?"
"You better take me!" I stated trying to look very stern then broke down giggling saying "Or I'll cluck and complain and cackle and in general be a nuisance even more than usual way into next year!"
"There's only a week between Christmas and New - Year?" Johnny said surprised.
