Author's Note

It's been years since the Winchesters had a proper Christmas. Between moving around and hunting, the guys never got a break. As a early birthday present for Dean, Sam rents a cabin in Canada. An old friend lets them stay a little while longer than most cabins allow for the holidays.
Sam and Gabriel arrive separately carrying gifts in their car, while Cas and Dean travel in the Impala.
Then, something unexpected pops up, and Dean isn't sure how to react.
