The mood in the house was very festive for the time of year. The smell of fresh baked cookies was wafting around the kitchen and into the halls, while Christmas music plinked away in the background. James had shimmied his way into the living room, where Flash was setting out some of the presents under the tree. "Hey Skunker..." James giggled, causing Flash to turn around. Before the other skunk could say a word, James flicked his bushy tail up and over his head, revealing some mistletoe that he had tied to the end of it. With a huge grin on his face, he stroked his love's shoulders and chittered in his ear. "We're under the mistletoe...how about a kiss, you stinker?" And kiss they did. While it was a rarity to say the least, James was capable of a romantic gesture every once in a while, and this happened to be one of those times. It was to be a very Merry Christmas for these two skunks, and a happy New Year as well.

This is a wonderful Christmas gift purchased for me by my bro and best bud  EclairTalon featuring my skunk James, and his skunk Flash. I tell ya, when these two are together, the cuteness just seems to come naturally. It's funny to think about sometimes: as messed up as these two can be when they really put their minds into it, they just end up in the most adorable situations! I have Eclair to thank for this moment of adorable! Thank you so much for this, bro! It really means so much to me! Merry Christmas!
