Andy's Toys Celebrate Christmas
A/N: This fan-fic is based on a story I wrote about Toy Story in 1997.
Chapter 1: Preparation
The Christmas season had come, and families all over the world were preparing for the long-awaited holiday. At the Davis resident in the Midwestern United States, this was no exception. Mrs. Davis and her children, 6-year-old Andy and 1-year-old Molly, were excited that their favorite time of year had come. Mrs. Davis and Andy drove to the local tree farm and cut down a tree. They strapped it to the top of their van and drove back home to put it up in the living room. They decorated it with ornaments, tinsel, beads, electric lights, and even peppermint candy canes. They also decorated the house with electric lights, wreaths, candle lights, and even a nativity scene in the living room, which featured Jesus Christ in the manger surrounded by Joseph, Mary, the wise men, and other farm animals.
Andy had a lot of toys in his room, and they were bizarre, as they could talk and move, although Andy did not know of that fact. They always interacted whenever he was absent. Andy's toys were inspired by all the decorating in Andy's house, and they decided to have a Christmas celebration of their own in Andy's room.
"Hey, what's all the hub-bub downstairs?" Hamm, the pink piggybank asked.
"It's Christmas time," Woody answered. "Andy and his mom are decorating because it's that time of year again."
"Hey, why don't we have our own celebration up here?" Bo Peep suggested.
"Good idea, Bo," Woody said. "Hear that, guys? We're having Christmas up in Andy's room!" The other toys cheered loudly. "Not so loud, guys. Andy or his mom might hear us."
"What do ya say we cut a tree for you all?" Sarge, the toy soldier, asked in behalf of the other soldiers.
"Sure," Woody said.
"You heard the man, let's move, move, move!" Sarge shouted. The other soldiers marched out of the plastic container on Andy's dresser and exited Andy's room through the window.
Outside, they found a twig with several green pine needles. "Looks like we've got one pre-cut," one of the soldiers said. They carried the twig and climbed up the wall and went back through Andy's window and positioned the "tree" by Andy's nightstand.
"Okay, now what?" Woody wondered.
"We decorate the tree," Slinky said. Then, the toys took strings of loose thread from Andy's closet and used it as decorum. The toys smiled proudly at their work.
After the tree was decorated, the next order of business was to have a "Secret Santa" method of distributing gifts. Woody placed his hat on the floor and then got a piece of paper, which he then tore into individual sections. Then, on each section, he wrote the name of every toy in Andy's room. He folded the papers and put them all in his hat. Then, every toy drew a name, but they were not to tell whose name they drew. Bo Peep drew Woody's name and decided to make a new, orange cowboy vest for him. Buzz drew Slinky's name and decided to get him a bouncy new spring. Rex selected Mr. Potato Head's name, and planned to find him a sweet potato as a new body for him. The other toys continued drawing names until the hat was empty.
After that, the toys spent the next few weeks getting presents for the person whose name they drew, and they always remembered to keep it secret.
