AN: I thought it would be fun to write something christmas teamed. All characters belong to Cassandra Clare.

WARING: May contain spoilers from the books.

Clary POV

She was trilled, after a lot of nagging she'd finally talked the gang into celebrating christmas together. On the evening of the 25th they'd all come together, Alec, Magnus, Jace, Izzy, Simon and herself, to exchange presents and eat. This was going to be the first normal christmas in what felt like years, finally all the craziness with Valentine and Sebastian was over and they could relax. Clary really needed a mundane day, preferably without demons.

She'd even succeeded in making Magnus actually go to stores and pay for the gifts, though she'd agreed on him using magic to get the food. What Magnus didn't know was that Clary would bring home baked cookies. However today she would take Magnus on a shopping trip to find some gifts and later this week Izzy would make sure he bought the rest of the gifts. The girls had both agreed that it would be cheating and also boring if Magnus used magic to get all the presents, he however didn't share their views.

Clary went out of the shower and got dressed. She choose a simple tank top and jeans, after all they were just going shopping not go to a party. Her hair went up in a ponytail as she walked out to the hallway. She grabbed a warm jacket and a scarf, it was really cold outside being December and all but she choose her usual boots. After all they'll spend most of the time inside. She said goodbye to her mother and Luke as she went outside. It was really cold, well, freezing really. She walked as fast as she could to the subway.

As Clary stepped out into the streets of New York again she immediately saw Magnus leaning against a wall, he didn't look that amused.

"So, should we get this over with? I hate stores" Magnus said as soon she was in hearing distance.

Clary just smiled and said "don't be grumpy, it's christmas!" she let out a giggle as she added "we can even drink hot chocolate" knowing Magnus loved it.

"Well, we could have done that at my place too, without all these people" he muttered and they started walking towards the shopping mall.

The mall was beautiful, all the christmas decorations had been put up. Blinking lights and glitter everywhere, in the middle of the mall stood a huge christmas tree. It was one of the most beautiful christmas trees Clary had ever seen. Magnus on the other hand didn't seem that impressed and barley looked at the tree.

"Let's go in here" Magnus said and pointed at a store selling clothes and shoes, it looked expensive but beautiful. It's the perfect place to buy a gift for Izzy she thought as they walked inside the some walking around the shop both of them found perfect gifts for Izzy. It's a good thing that she and Izzy had almost the same size, it made this kind of shopping easier.

"Can you choose something to Simon for me? I don't really know him" Magnus said as they walked out of the store.

"Sure" Clary was glad, she was hoping Magnus found this more fun now that they bought two perfect gifts. Getting even more excited over this Clary took Magnus hand and dragged him towards Simons favorite store "Think Geek".

Magnus POV

He wasn't excited about shopping in stores, he was used to shopping from home and he'd been used to it longer than internet shopping had been available. But he didn't have the energy to argue about this with Clary and Izzy, therefore he was in a mall with Clary being dragged through the hord of mundanes who also bought christmas gifts.

He suddenly found himself in a store full of weird things, robots, games, comic books and figures. He should have seen this coming since he asked for help to buy something for Simon. Nevertheless he was just as confused.

"What is all this? How should I know witch of all these weird things Simon wants?" Magnus asked Clary as he looked around the store in confusion.

He heard Clary laugh as she said "relax old man, I'll help you"

Magnus just gave Clary a look, which said "don't call me old man". Once again he found himself being dragged around by Clary, he certainly didn't enjoy this.

"What is this?" Magnus was even more confused now, they were in a corner full of robots and weird swords.

"It's the Star Wars corner" Clary said sounding like that was supposed to explain everything to Magnus. I didn't. But pretended that it did.

Clary took down a huge pillow robot and told him to buy it for Simon and then she turned around and grabbed some weird black robot thing and dragged him to the check out.

"Okay, are we going to drink that chocolate you talked about before?" he just wanted to sit down and relax for a bit.

"Okay, I know a cosy place" Clary said and once again grabbed Magnus hand and dragged him through the mall.

Just a minute later they stepped inside something called Espresso House and Clary was right it was cosy. She told him to go sit in a corner with two chairs filled with pillows and blankets. Without protest Magnus went over there and sat down, happy to get some time to relax.

Clary came towards him with a tray with two huge cups and equally huge muffins.

"This looks perfect, thank you biscuit" Magnus said and took a huge bite out of the muffin.
