Came up with this two months after Christmas... ah well, lets say its an early one for 2oo6! (oh btw, my friend actually did make a snowman called bob, actual size as well)

The snow fell outside the NCIS headquarters. Dancing upon the bitter December air. Covering everything in a powdery white blanket.

Abby watched the many different sized flakes float to the ground through thee window. She had always loved the snow, ever since she was a child. Her mind drifted downstairs to the freezer in her lab, where she was keeping a small snowman called Bob. Bob was only twelve inches high and had two small stones for eyes. McGee had laughed at Bob, so Abby had smacked McGee round the head, who had instantly shut up.

Gibbs came down the stairs from MTAC and spotted Abby at the window. He smiled and walked up to her, "How's Bob?" He asked.

"Abby turned to look at her boss, "Who told you?"

"McGee"

"Oh," Abby turned back to the window, "He's surviving"

Gibbs nodded also looking out of the window, "In your freezer"

"Yep," Abby said cheerfully, "I plan to take him out in summer so he can get a tan"

Gibbs laughed at this as DiNozzo came up to them from the interrogation rooms. "Well its settled boss. The FBI are taking officer Wheeler into custody. He's set to get about twenty to thirty years for murdering his CO, Lt. Gardner"

"Alright DiNozzo, you can go home now. see you after New Year" Gibbs replied.

DiNozzo grinned and retrieved his things from his desk. He pulled out three things from his desk drawer and walked over to Abby and Gibbs. "Merry Christmas" He said before handing each of them a box. Inside was a decorated Christmas cake.

"Thanks Tony" Abby said to the agent.

He grinned then held something green over the Goth's head, he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. "Enjoy your holidays" He said giving Abby the mistletoe and then heading for the elevator.

"That was random" Gibbs said.

"Yeah" Abby answered, watching the elevator doors close, she then turned to the ex-marine, "So boss-man, what do you plan to do during the holiday?"

"Work on the boat" He answered.

"Is that all? You don't even plan to have company over?"

"Nope"

"Don't you ever get lonely?"

Gibbs didnt answer. He just watched the snow fall past the window. Sometimes he did get lonely, although he would never admit that. However, with Abby, he never needed to. She always seemed to know what he was thinking. Suddenly an idea struck him. "Tell you what Abby," He said turning to her and gently taking the mistletoe from her, "You join me for Christmas dinner. Keep an old marine company"

"Your not old Gibbs" Abby said to him.

Gibbs smiled at that, it was just like Abby to stick up for him, and stop himself from insulting his own traits.

"To believe that Abs, I'll need proof" With that he held the mistletoe above her head and pressed his lips gently against hers.
