DISCLAIMER: I do not own TNBC, which belongs to Tim Burton, but I DO own Nightshade.

Hello again, everyone! I'm Nightshade, and this is my Christmas special!

If you have no idea who I am, go read my story, 'Nightshade's Tales'!

We are now just days from Christmas, so you probably all should be prepared, right? If not, don't worry; I've got you covered!

First step: The Christmas Tree

If you're going to be giving and receiving presents, you're going to need somewhere to put them. Where else other than beneath a Christmas tree?

I'd recommend a fake Christmas tree, since there's less mess and it's easier to put away. But, if you want to go all out with a real tree, be my guest.

Now, to put up a fake tree, just follow the guide on the box or in the instruction manual. Not that much to it.

Don't forget to decorate it!

Second step: Presents

Nowadays, Christmas is mainly about the exchange of gifts. So, if you haven't gotten any for your friends and family, get to the shops as fast as you can.

There will be a ton of other shoppers, mostly doing last minute Christmas shopping like you, but just focus on your task.

Third step: Decorations

If you want some of that Christmas spirit around the house, you're going to need decorations.

There's a wide range of decorations in stores, from tree baubles to lawn reindeer.

If none of those suit you, just go onto the internet and find some ideas for homemade decorations.

Third step: Music

Even if you don't have guests around, having some Christmas music playing can really boost your Christmas spirit.

My personal favourite is Jingle Bells, when played on a piano. But there are plenty of other Christmas songs to choose from.

Fourth step: Christmas food

Christmas isn't just about the presents, trees, decorations and music; it's about food, too.

The classic Christmas food is roast turkey and fruitcake for Christmas dinner, but you can improvise with roast pork or chicken.

Also, candy canes are a sweet treat perfect to snack on.

There. This should cover all of your Christmas needs. Our Christmas needs in Halloween Town are also covered.

The tower is completely decorated, all the presents are under the tree, we have some Christmas music playing and we're all wearing some festive outfits.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to serve a Christmas feast for the Skellingtons.

Oh, before I go, one last thing…

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

A/N: I hope you enjoyed this little holiday treat. I am feeling REALLY guilty about the lack of uploads in 'Nightshade's Tales', but I promise I am working on new chapters. Don't forget to review!
