It's a man who wasn't actually far off of what could be used to defeat her, though. Not that Ian probably really wants to think about that.

The Ghost of Christmas Past takes a look around the room and tilts their head. "For most people, perhaps. Somewhat unusual for Sam."

The man who has just entered stares around for a moment, before looking back to Sam. "What's all this?"

"What do you think it is? It's--it's Christmas." Sam stumbles on the words a bit, but plows through. Taking a deep breath when the other man looks at him.

"What made you change your mind?"

Sam shoves the cup at him instead. "Here, uh...try the eggnog. Let me know if it needs some more kick." There's an edge to his smile as he picks up the whiskey bottle. Like that might actually be a concern.

"His brother, Dean." The Ghost identifies the other man in the room. Unlike Dan, Ian hasn't spoken to Sam about his home much at all, after all.
