In Green Meadows Criss was helping his brothers hang out some Christmas lights. "Costa they're not straight" Criss remarked. "Criss unless you want to levitate up here and do this shut up"Costa replied. "Criss stop giving Costa grief would you. I know you're perfectinist and everything"JD stated. Criss bent down to make snow ball and threw it at JD. "Hey" as Criss laughed. JD threw a snowball but missed. "Missed me" Criss remarked in a childish tone. "Oh you're going to get it Christopher" JD replied and ran after Criss but Criss ran into the backyard leaving Costa up a ladder. Inside the ladies were talking when a snowball hit the window getting their attention. They all went to the window to see Criss and JD throwing snowballs at each other. "They never grow up do they?" Lynn said. Dimitra got her coat and gloves on and went to help her father. Dimitra got her uncle in the shoulder. "Hey no fair two against one"Criss said. "Aim for the face Dimitra"her father remarked. "Hey Costa how about some help?" Criss called out. Costa just watched from the roof. "All right all right I give I give"Criss stated as Dimitra came over and put some snow down her uncle's back.

"All right boys get Costa down and come in"Their mother called out as they went to help Costa down. When they got to the front Costa shoveled some snow down on Criss making everyone laugh. "Thanks Costa" as Criss wiped the snow off of him. "Serve you right Criss come on" and they all went in. "Put your boots on the mat I don't want puddles on th carpet"Dimitra stated. After they did that Criss started upstairs. "I feel like a popiscle"Criss remarked. "Go thaw out in the shower". Dimitra loved it when her boys came home and this time Criss told her she had him untill the day after New Years which made Dimitra's day. After Criss finished showing and changing he came down and his mother gave him a hot chocolate. "Thanks" as Criss checked the mail and found a letter addressed to him. "Hey I got a response from that person who adopted Hammie's sister"Criss replied. Criss sat down as Hammie jumped onto his lap. "I'm surprise she even responsed to your idea to let Hammie have a family reunion of sorts"Costa said. "I think it's cute that Hammie has a sister out there" Dimi remarked scratching under Hammie's neck. Criss opened the letter.

DEAR MR. SARANTAKOS

I FIND WHAT YOU WROTE VERY INTERESTING. I'D BE HONORED TO COME AND VISIT WITH YOUR FAMILY AND LET MY JULIET SEE HER BROTHER HAMLET OR HAMMIE AS YOU CALL HIM. I'LL BE DOWN THERE PROBABLY TOMORROW AT NOON WITH JULIET. THANK YOU AGAIN

"Wow that's nice of her to do that". Criss just smiled as he read the letter over again. The next day I went to see my mom at her nursing home. The nursing home loves when I bring Juliet it makes the people there happy even when they don't have family to see them. "Look who's here it's Christine and Juliet"a man called out. "Hello Mr Roger" I stated giving him a kiss. I put my carrier on the ground and Juliet came out. "So what brings you to our neck of the woods Christine?" A nurse inquired. "I thought I'd see my mom and later I'm bringing Juliet to see her brother"I replied as Juliet went in between the old people's legs purring. "Well your mother is in her room I was just about to get her". In my mom's room she was brushing her hair. "Hi mom"I stated coming in. "Christine what are you doing here I wasn't expecting you untill Christmas Eve" giving me a hug. "Well you won't believe this but I got a letter from a family that adopted Juliet's brother Hamlet and a few months ago his owner came close to losing him so his owner wanted me to bring Juliet to see her brother"I stated. "That sounds so nice where's Juliet anyway?" she asked.

"In the living room come on let's go see her"I suggested and we went into the room. As we walked to the room Dimitra and Criss walked in. "Thanks for driving me here to see Anthena"Dimitra remarked. "It's my pleasure mom I'm glad you volunteer here"Criss replied. "There she is Anthena". "Dimitra how nice to see you"my mom said as they hugged. "Is this your daughter Christine those pictures you have of her don't do her justice" Dimitra replied. "Christine this is my friend Dimitra she comes to the home any time and tells us about her famous son". "Yea Criss Angel I remember you telling me mom"I said. "Why don't we go to the living area Juliet is probably getting her tail run over by the wheelchairs". Dimitra took my mom and Criss and I stood there. "You must be Criss Dimitra's son"I stated walking over. "What was your first clue?" Criss asked. "Whenever I visit my mom always say maybe I should ask Dimitra to set you with her famous son and beside I've met her other son so I kind of took a stab at it"I replied . Criss muffled a laugh. "Come on" and we went to the living room
