[*]Cameron finished decorating the tree just as Foreman and Chase walked into the office that morning. She smiled with proper Christmas delight while they stared at her strangely.
"Cameron, why did you decorate in here?" Chase asked. "You know House is determined to be a Grinch this year."
"Like that's anything new," Foreman muttered.
"I'm not going to let him win," Cameron answered, handing out the files for their new case. "He can bitch and moan all he wants, but I'm not taking it down."
The devil had been spoken of, and House entered. He was looking at their case file an began to make some scathing comment, then he noticed the tree. With a preemptive glare at Cameron, he approached it slowly.
With a single finger, House removed one of the candy cane decorations from the tree. "Is this supposed to be funny?"
Cameron was speechless; her colleagues smothered snickers.
"I would have thought better of you, Allison, to make fun of a cripple at Christmas time." House shook his head in mock-disappointment as he sat down at the table.
"I don't want any Christmas in my office," he ordered.
"I'll take it all down," Cameron sighed in defeat.
