Christmas day, Joyful for children and stressful for parents
But when both your children are adults and would be very happy with fluffy socks and gift cards for Christmas, it's significantly less stressful
That's exactly how it was for the Sersin family, both Abigail and Jake weren't able to leave for home for Christmas
So the family decided a zoom call would be better, relying on that their parents could actually work the computer well enough for them to do it
Jake and Abigail were the first two on, Katie sat next to Jake
"Hey Jake, Hi Katie" Abigail waved at the camera
"Hiya Abigail, Merry Christmas!" Katie said happily
"Merry Christmas, Jake are you going to Admiral Kazansky's for Christmas Dinner?"
"Yeah, both me and Katie will be there" Jake nodded
"Good, do you know if ma and Dad have figured out the call yet?" She asked "No clue Abbs, we could be here till New Year waiting for them" Jake shrugged
Finally their parents joined squinting at the computer
"Hello? Can you hear us?" Their mother asked
"Yeah Ma, we can see and hear you both" Abigail assured
The zoom call showed the simple apple pie outer shell that the Seresins had
Their parents looked as normal as any middle-aged couple, greying hair and wrinkles prominent on their faces
"Oh and this must be Katie!" Their mother cheered "Oh she's so pretty, isn't she pretty Jack?"
Katie's smile widened "It's nice to meet you Mr and Mrs Seresin" she said sweetly
"Abigail-"
"No, No Ma, I don't have a boyfriend" Abigail said simply "Well what about a girlfriend? You know we'd be just as happy"
"I also don't have a girlfriend" Abigail chuckled
"Come on everyone, enough about Abigail's lack of a love life-
"Kindly Piss off Jake" Abigail said with a fake smile
"Language Abigail, that's not ladylike and you know it" Their mother chastised
"Gift time, I hope our gifts got to you guys in the mail" Jake said
"Oh yes! They did, did ours get there safe?"
The two siblings confirmed it when Abigail's doorbell rang
"Two minutes guys, doorbell is going off" she said standing from where she was wrapped up on the couch
"Hey Bob! You're, very, very early" Abigail said suprised, Bob was stood with a bag in his hand, dressed in blue jeans and a light blue Christmas sweater with white reindeer on it
"Yeah, sorry I didn't give you a heads up but I wanted to suprise you a little, Merry Christmas"
"Merry Christmas" she smiled hugging him "Please come in, I'm just on a call with my family, do you want a drink?" She asked letting him in
"Jake! She said she didn't have a boyfriend" Abigail's mother said from the computer "She doesn't Mom, he's a WSO from our squad" Jake told their overly excited mother "I thought she was dating him" Katie admitted
Abigail handed Bob a wine glass sitting back down with him next to her
"Hey Bobby" Jake waved "Jake" Bob nodded "Nice to see you again Katie, Mr and Mrs Seresin, I apologise for interrupting your family call" Bob greeted
