-The successivo Day-
We were helping Mercedes decorate the choir room for Christmas. It's so great to have her, Santana, and Brittany back in the group. While decorating, we started Canto "All I Want For Natale Is You" da Mariah Carey.

-in the hallway-
I was looking for Artie to give him a present. It is Natale after all. As I spotted him putting things in his locker, I saw Rachel giving Finn a list. Most likely a Natale gift list. Typical Berry. I walked up to Artie. "Hey."

He looked up at me. "Hey."

"Merry Christmas." I gave him the gift I was holding behind my back. "I just wanted to give te something as a thank te for helping on the first giorno of school."

He took it. "Thanks."

"Open it", I pleaded.

He smiled and opened it. "A def marmellata poesia album."

"Look at the signature."

He smiled even wider. "Eminem?"

"Yep. My dad's a doctor and he once saved Eminem's life. Eminem told my dad that if he needed anything, give him a call", I said. "A little birdie told me te like def marmellata poesia and then I got te one. Eminem's signature was an extra gift for you."

"Thank you, really. This means a lot to me. But I didn't get you-"

"Not necessarily. te gave me a smile on your face, one I'm really happy to see."

He smiled again. "I'll repay te somehow." He closed his locker.

I heard Sue call Artie's name from down the hall. I saw she had Kurt and Blaine with her.

"Bye Sol." He wheeled down Sue and the others.

"See ya later." I waited until I couldn't see him anymore before baciare my palm and putting it on his locker.

-in Glee Club-
Everyone was admiring the Natale decorations in the room. Everyone except Rory. As we took our seats, Rory detto he had an announcement. "This is my first Natale away from my family", he said. "My mom is unable to visit and I feel homesick. So I would like to sing a song." He began Canto "Blue Christmas" da Elvis Presley.

"That was really depressing", detto Santana once Rory finished singing.

Rachel agreed. "But it was beautiful, Rory."

Tina also agreed. "It reminded me of last Christmas", Tina began. "Sue cut down our Natale tree, Kurt was at another school, Artie's re-walk brok-"

"Guess what, guys", detto Mr. Schue walking in, interrupting Tina. Everyone was silent with anxiety. "I just got off the phone with a PBS manager, who wants to recruit us for a Natale special. And Artie? You're directing it."

"Hmm", Artie thought. "I'll think about it."

-in the Auditorium-
I sat da Rory. Rachel walked on stage. "What part does she want now?"

"The main character in the Natale special", detto Santana.

"Figures." I turn back towards the stage. Rachel starts Canto "River" da .

"And she called my performance depressing", Rory whispered to me.

I laughed quietly.

"That was really depressing", detto Artie once Rachel was done performing. "It doesn't fit with my vision of Natale with joyful songs and Rory as Itchy the Elf reciting a happier version of 'Frosty the Snowman'."

Sam stood up. "This isn't what Natale is about. And ifcr te guys can't see that, I want no part in this Natale speak." Sam turned to leave. "C'mon Rory."

Rory was silent for a few seconds. "I should memorize my part, Sam", Rory detto finally.

Sam walked out, disappointed.

-in Glee Club-
I sat da Artie. Berry and Blaine got up from their seats and performed "Very Extraordinary Christmas". Once they finished, everyone applauded. Including myself.

"Now that's what's I'm talking about", detto Artie, smiling.

Sue entered. "Let's go people, we've got the homeless to feed!"

"About that, we kind of had the opportunity to put on a Natale special for PBS", detto Artie.

"The homeless don't have tvs."

"We can't make it to the homeless shelter, Sue."

Sue looked upset. She left the room.

-at the homeless shelter-
Sam took Quinn and I to the homeless shelter with him. There, we were dato gloves and went behind the Cibo table. Then we started putting Cibo on plates and passed them out.

Sue came towards a few minuti after.

"We don't have enough for everyone", detto Quinn, passing a plate to a woman.

Just then, the entire Glee club entered the room. They were caring containers of various food. Artie was carrying the turkey.

I smiled. "You guys came."

"Yep", detto Artie.

"Rory made us realize the true meaning of Christmas", detto Rachel. Everyone set the Cibo on the tables.

"Let's get our perform on", detto Mercedes.

Quinn, Sam, and I unisciti the others in Canto "Do They It's Christmas?(Feed The World)" da Band Aid.

-back at McKinley-
I was gathering my libri from my last class. As I was walk out, Artie stopped me at the doorway. "Hey."

"Hey", he said. "I got te something."

I notice the gift in his lap and picked it up. "Thanks."

"Open it."

I do. It's a amethyst ring. "I Amore it", I said, putting it on.

"Well, bye." He turned to leave.

"Artie, wait."

He turned to me.

"Uhh..." I baciare his cheek. "Thanks again." I rush past him, practically sprinting down the hall towards the exit of the school.
