It was a tradition for Shawn that trickery be involved with Christmas. After all, why should Christmas be different from any other day of the year?
This year, along with the usual present shenanigans with his father, Shawn had planned a psychological trick on Gus. He knew that his friend would never break the Christmas code of honor and decided to manipulate this to his own benefit- all in the spirit of goodwill and giving, of course.
On Christmas Eve when they performed the last Christmas rituals in the Psych office, Shawn put a new, extra-large stocking adorned with his name next to Gus' normal sized stocking.
When Gus saw it, Shawn could see the smoke coming from his ears. "This is blatantly breaking the rules of Christmas, Shawn! There's no way I'm filling that!"
"But don't you see Gus, it's all about the spirit of giving!" When that obviously wasn't going to fly, he tried again. "Would you be so immoral as to tamper with a stocking? I bet I could call Lassie and Jules in for that!"
"It isn't against the law, Shawn!"
Still, the next day Shawn enjoyed twenty Cadbury eggs and an defeated but amused best friend.
