The Christmas tree lights cast a warm glow across the living room, tinsel shimmering in the dim. Wrapping paper crinkles underfoot as you tuck April and Michael into bed. Later, you ask Simon to move the elf. The next morning, sunlight spills through the windows as your kids shriek with laughter. You sprint in to find marker rings around their eyes and fake mustaches drawn on their tiny faces. Simon leans against the doorframe, arms crossed, skull mask hiding his grin. "I went overboard, didn't I?" he asks, eyes glinting at you.
