Hardison almost understands Parker's discomfort with Christmas; she didn't get the family holiday thing the way he did growing up, and too many things just slow her down without adding to her security the way cash money does. So he isn't hurt when she leaves the socks and the new climbing harness on the couch and wanders into the kitchen to see what Eliot is working on for dinner. She comes back later, anyway, when he puts on Die Hard for the annual viewing, and she falls asleep drooling into his elbow.
