Chapter 1 Holiday Planning

It was finally December which meant one thing Christmas was coming and nobody was happier than April O' Neil and her husband Donatello. They were thrilled about the upcoming holiday because it was their first Christmas as a married couple and it was also their daughter's Magdalene's first Christmas and what better way to celebrate than with friends and family. "Donnie I'm so happy that it's almost Christmas" April excitedly exclaimed as she came from the attic with a box of Christmas decorations. "I can tell by the smile on your face and so am I" Donnie replied as he helped April with the heavy box. Donnie opened the box and saw all the old Christmas ornaments and told April, "These ornaments are beautiful." "Thank you Donnie. They were my grandparents. When I was a little girl every year on Christmas my grandparents had a beautiful Christmas tree and they used these beautiful ornaments to decorate with. It's one of my favorite memories from my childhood and now that we live here I want to use them again" said April. "I think that's a wonderful idea and I admire how beautiful they are" Donnie told her as he held and looked at a Christmas ornaments shaped like Santa Claus. "In honor of our first Christmas together you know we should invite all of our friends and family over for this joyous holiday" said Donnie. "I don't think I would have it any other way" replied April as she and Donnie started discussing what to do for Christmas.

As Donnie and April were done talking the both of them heard the cry of their daughter Magdalene who just woken up from her nap. "Aww our little girl is awake" said April as she and Donnie went upstairs to attend to their daughter. "Shhhh its ok Maggie. Don't cry mommy and daddy are here" Donnie assured his crying baby girl as he picked her up. April and Donnie kissed their little girl and told her it was going to be okay. Donnie and April changed her diaper together and took her downstairs to feed her. Maggie was happy to see her parents and to get something to eat because she was hungry. "Sweetheart are you excited about Christmas? Since you've been a very good girl Santa Claus is coming to our house to deliver presents for you" Donnie said which made his little girl smile. "I think Maggie knows that she is a good girl and is going to get presents" said April. "Have you been a good girl this year?" Donnie asked his wife. "I don't know what do you think?" April asked as she winked at her husband. Donnie pulled April closer to him and told her, "You're on my naughty list that's for sure." April laughed at what Donnie said as they began kissing. Donnie whispered something that made April blush and giggle because she couldn't believe he said that. "Maybe later" April assured her husband because right now they were attending to Maggie.

While they were feeding their baby a familar Christmas song was playing on the radio and it was Santa Claus is coming to Town. "Oh Donnie I remember this song. When I was a little girl my parents used to sing it to me every Christmas" April told him as she began to sing along,

April: "You better watch out

You better not cry

You better not pout

I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town

Santa Claus is coming to town

Santa Claus is coming to town"

Donnie thought it would fun to sing along with April so he began to sing,

Donnie: "He's making a list,

Checking it twice;

Gonna find out who's naughty or nice.

Santa Claus is coming to town

Santa Claus is coming to town

Santa Claus is coming to town"

Donnie and April: "He sees you when you're sleeping

He knows when you're awake

He knows if you've been bad or good

So be good for goodness sake

With little tin horns and little toy drums

Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums

Santa Claus is coming to town

Santa Claus is coming to town

Santa Claus is coming to town."

Donnie: "He sees you when you're sleeping

He knows when you're awake

He knows if you've been bad or good

So be good for goodness sake

Goodness sake"

Donnie and April: "You better watch out

You better not cry

You better not pout

I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town

Santa Claus is coming to town

Santa Claus is coming

Santa Claus is coming

Santa Claus is coming to town

(Coming to town)

Santa's a busy man he has no time to play

He's got millions of stockings to fill on Christmas day

(Santa Claus is coming to town)

(Coming to town)

(Santa Claus is coming to town)

(Coming to town)"

When they were done singing Santa Claus is Coming to Town Maggie was smiling because she enjoys it when her parents would sing in front of her. "Looks like our daughter enjoyed our performance" April said which Donnie agreed with her as they saw the smile on her face. After Maggie was fed Donnie and April started making plans to celebrate Christmas with their family and friends.

Author's Note: Hi everyone here is the first chapter of my newest fanfiction that I like to call Merry Christmas Magdalene. As I mentioned many times I'm not the creator of Magdalene Hamato. Credit for this character goes to Scotia Daniel because she is her creator. For fun I thought it would be fun to include some popular Christmas songs that some of you may be familiar with. I'll be doing that as this story continues. Normally whenever I write a story about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles celebrating a holiday that involves Magdalene Hamato it's usually a one shot story. This time I wanted to make it a multiple chapter story. Please stay tune for my update and if anyone out there has any ideas for future chapters I welcome it especially if anyone has a favorite Christmas song they like and would like to see in this story. Peace out from Princesspeach102!
