The signs of Yuletide in the Shire were in full swing.It was the first Yuletide back from the Quest and Sam was eager to spend them with the Cottons, his ol’ Gaffer, and Mr. Frodo. However, Rosie had far more plans with Sam.

“Why are you not spending every second at our place- we haven’t seen you for so long,” said Rosie shyly but assertively.

“I am…” Sam was blushing as he was muttering a half reply.

 Mistletoe was hanging everywhere. 

“Welcome back and happiest Yuletide, Samwise- i’ve missed you.”

“Me too,” Sam leaned in to kiss his Rosie.
