It was a wonderful Christmas evening in the Magic Kingdom. White snow fell from the sky and the citizens of Main Street were rushing to the stores to get their last minute gifts. Brightly colored Christmas trees were seen from left to right and the sounds of merry carolers filled the streets.
As for Cinderella Castle, it was decorated from head to toe with tinsel, lights and balls, and at the highest spire sat a giant glowing golden star.
Inside, mostly all of the Disney residents were enjoying the merriment of a holiday party with decorations abound, a large table with figgy pudding, turkey, stuffing, and all the trimmings, and a giant Christmas tree in the center of the ballroom.
Sebastian and Peter Pan were engaged in an eggnog drinking contest. Donald was making sure to keep Pluto from peeing on the tree. Snow White served her famous gooseberry pie with some figgy pudding to the dwarves. Most of the kids; including Penny, Mowgli, Cody, Lilo, and the lost boys; were trying to figure out what kinds of presents they had gotten by shaking them.
Goofy came in dressed as Santa in a sleigh pulled by Max who was dressed like a reindeer, much to his annoyance.
"Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas! Ahyuck!" Goofy said before he told Max to stop the sleigh.
As Goofy got out of the sleigh, the lost boys were fighting over a present which caused a Christmas ball to fall on the floor near him and he tripped on it.
Tinkerbell and the other fairies put candy canes on the tree while Rabbit put carrots with bows on it.
In his chair, Goofy prepared to talk to kids and ask them what they wanted for Christmas. However, the first one to approach him was Mushu.
"All right, Santa Goofy, listen up. I got me a whole list of things I definitely need," Mushu began. "First, I'd like an air conditioner for the temple, because it can hot up in there in the summer and normally I like hot, but only when it's comin' out of my mouth. Speaking of hot, for my second wish, I'd like a hot tub with double turbo. I won't settle for anything less then double..."
As Mushu went down the other things on his list, Flynn presented Rapunzel with a gift. Rapunzel opened it up to find it was mistletoe. Flynn placed it above their heads and the two kissed.
Just then, Mickey came in dressed as an elf and brought everyone to his attention.
"Merry Christmas, everybody!" Mickey said to the crowd.
"MERRY CHRISTMAS, MICKEY!" the crowd said back.
"First off, I'd like to thank you all to attending my Christmas party. And now, it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you the princesses with their performance of 'Deck the Halls,'" Mickey said before he gave the stage to said princesses; Ariel, Jasmine, Belle, Aurora, Cinderella, and Snow White; who were dressed up in red and gold Christmas dresses.
The crowd applauded as the princesses began to sing.
Ariel
Deck the hall with bows of holly, fa la la la la la la la la
Belle
Tis' the season to be jolly, fa la la la la la la la la
Aurora
Don we now our gay apparel, fa la la la la la la la la
Snow White
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol, fa la la la la la la la la
Cinderella
See the blazing yule before us, fa la la la la la la la la
Jasmine
Strike the harp and join the chorus, fa la la la la la la la la
All the princesses
Follow me in merry measure, fa la la la la la la la la
While I tell of Yuletide treasure, fa la la la la la la la la
The crowd applauded again.
Mickey went to join the princesses on stage. "Wow! That was great, girls!" he said.
"Thanks, Mickey," said Cinderella.
"By the way, Cinderella, are any of your stepsisters coming?" Mickey asked.
"No, Anastasia wanted to come, but Stepmother wasn't having any of it," said Cinderella.
Meanwhile, Mushu was still going over his Christmas list with Goofy.
"And for number 13, I'd like a giant statue of me in the center of the temple. For number 14..." Mushu said before he was cut off by Timon who was accompanied by Pumbaa.
"OK, OK, that's enough, dragon. Let someone else have a shot, like me," Timon said before he jumped on Santa Goofy's lap. "Let's see here, I want 12 dung beetles, 11 millipedes, 10 crickets..."
"Hey!" Jiminy Cricket shouted.
Timon continued. "9 weevils, 8 dragonflies, 7 ladybugs, 6 juicy grubs..."
"5 slimy worms," Pumbaa sang.
"Very nice," Timon said sarcastically.
"Thanks," Pumbaa said, not realizing Timon's sarcasm.
Just then, Kuzco came in and sat on Santa Goofy's lap. "Bugs? Ga-ross. Listen, unlike the two of them, I don't want much this year...just a one hundred floor palace complete with about a hundred thousand Kuzco Easter island heads and no less than a harem of ladies who routinely shout, 'Kuzco rules!" he said.
"I don't know what's bigger; Pumbaa's stench or your ego," said Timon.
Snow White walked over to Mickey. "My stepmother didn't want to come either. She said she had better things to do," Snow White said.
"Probably busy making you a poisoned pudding," Daisy said, walking by drinking some eggnog.
Mickey and the princesses chuckled as Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, and Olaf approached them.
"You know, Cinderella, your stepmother sounds like a real scrooge," said Anna.
"Yeah, she does! What's a scrooge?" asked Olaf.
"I'll tell you later," said Anna.
"Great! When's later?" Olaf asked.
"Oh, Olaf," said Elsa.
"True, my stepmother isn't the most jolly woman in the world and for that matter, neither is my stepsister, Drizella. Except for that one Christmas where Anastasia tried to find her a boyfriend," said Cinderella.
"A boyfriend? For Drizella?" Jasmine asked.
"Believe it or not, it's true," Cinderella said with a chuckle.
"I think it's sweet for to find your true love on Christmas," said Snow White.
"What exactly happened that year?" asked Kristoff.
"Yeah, tell us, tell us, tell us, tell us!" Olaf said, jumping up and down.
"We'd really like to know," Kristoff said in Sven's voice.
"Would you tell us, Cinderella?" asked Mickey.
The guests gathered towards Cinderella, also wanting to hear the story and the princess, not wanting to be mean, acquiesced to their request. She took a seat on the stage with everyone paying close attention and started the story.
"Let's see...it all began a few days before Christmas Eve."
