Scully pondered which Christmas Eve and Christmas Day shifts at Our
Lady of Sorrows she could work.  She slowly drummed the fingers of
her left hand while her right hand stirred the wireless mouse's
cursor in tiny circles over the "submit" button.

With Bill and his family in Germany, and Charlie... well, wherever
the hell Charlie was... that was going to leave just her and Mom
together for Christmas.

Potentially all of Christmas Eve.  Or all of Christmas Day.  Or both.

Not that spending time with Mom was a chore, but her patients needed
her, and her coworkers needed a chance to spend time with their
children.  Mom had her friends to keep her happy and had her
volunteer work at the homeless shelter to keep her busy.

Mom would understand.

Besides, there'd always be next year.
