Special Thanks to Somefangirl for some of the ideas put into here, everyone give her cookies as thanks!

ALSO PLEASE NOTE: for the fic, Chopper's birthday in not on Christmas!

Luffy noticed that the crew was acting happier than usual, but just marked it up to that the Grand Line wind was helping their ship move along. With everyone in high spirits, he was happy too. Everyone was getting along more than ever, and he was getting kicked out of the kitchen less instead just getting a stern warning to "Quit it". Sanji should have known that Luffy would never quit.

The next thing that he noticed that whenever someone was alone and working on something, they wouldn't tell him what they were doing. Normally they would at least explain what they were doing even though he wouldn't understand. All Luffy wanted to know was what was going on with the colorful paper and what they were hiding; he could keep a secret… maybe.

A few more days passed and ,although Luffy thought it was impossible, spirits were higher than ever. Chopper, Usopp, and him started their daily game of hide and seek. Chopper was counting so he decided to hide somewhere low so that Chopper could find him. Looking for a place that Luffy didn't hide often, he kicked off his shoes as to not make any noise, and ran down the hall to an old cabinet that wasn't used too often anymore. Pulling it open he was surprised to see the colorful gift wrapping that Nami was working with the past few days. He didn't like them, they wouldn't reveal their secrets to him.

First hearing the sound of Robin's arms blooming, and then seeing them shutting the door, he spun on his heels and saw Robin standing there.

Robin crossed her arms and chuckled, "You would seem like the type to go looking for the Christmas presents." She then reached out and steered Luffy away from the cabinet. Continuing " Let's not tell the rest of the crew where they are alright, Nami worked hard to hide them well."

Looking over his shoulder not bothering to shrug off her hand, "Why would she try to hide presents? Aren't they for giving to someone?" He said a little perplexed on why Nami would go through the trouble of getting presents THEN hiding them.

Taking her hand off seeing that he wasn't going anywhere she paused with a small smile and tilted her head. "Why they're Christmas presents, we can't open them till Christmas just like every other year."

"What do you mean 'every other year', you keep saying Christmas, does it have to do something with food?"

"You've never celebrated Christmas before? How about Hanukkah? or any other big celebration around this time?" Robin asked, maybe he celebrated something else she thought. If that was the case they could always celebrate both, Nami would probably scold him for not telling them he celebrated something else, everyone else would wonder why he never brought it up.

"Ace, Sabo, Dandan, everyone, and I never celebrated anything big around this time."

Pausing at the mention of Luffy's family she skipped past it and smiled. "Well we're going to have an interesting Christmas this year that's for sure. Come on let's gather everyone up shall we? They might want to know that this is you first Christmas."

"Why is Christmas important Robin?"

Chuckling she left is a mystery saying, " I'll let you figure that out by the end of the Holiday okay?"

Together they went from door to door gathering the people that they knew wouldn't already be on deck. By the end of their "Short, amazing, most-amazingly epic trip" as Luffy called it they had gathered Brook, Franky, Chopper, and Usopp.

When they asked about what they were going Robin would stay silent, and Luffy would just laugh a full heartedly laugh along with a 'I don't know'. Accepting that they would get no information from the two they followed in pairs or in Franky's and Brook's case in single file order.

They reached the dining room to see Nami sketching up a map, Zoro sleeping (or resting with his eyes closed no one could tell), and Sanji putting together the crews dinner.

Sanji was the first to see Robin, ignoring the others behind her, and Luffy in front of her, he called out to her with a "ROOOBBINNN-CHHAANNN". She simply held up her hand to silence him and asked everyone to sit around the table. Naturally, sensing the need that there was something everyone needed to hear, everyone sat around the table.

While walking to his seat, Luffy tripped and fell in Zoro's lap as he was getting up. Laughing he stayed there. Technically he was sitting around the table, it just happened to be on Zoro. Zoro just sighed knowing he was Luffy's temporary chair for the meeting.

Nami was the first one to ask Robin why the meeting was called: she was normally the one to call a meeting.

"Well I just found out something surprising and thought I should share it with the crew."

Raising an eyebrow Zoro asked irritated, "Well aren't you going to tell us or or we going to have to guess?" He didn't like the fact that we was awoken from sleeping to have to play a guessing game. Now he had to actually see the shit cook.

Ignoring the outburst from Sanji telling Zoro to not talk to 'Robin-chan' that way she answered him. "Well it's not much if you don't care about the holiday, but I learned that our sencho-san has never celebrated Christmas before."

It was then that everyone turned to look at Luffy who was sitting in Zorro's lap messing with Zorro's gold earrings, and who was also tuning out the conversation, although Zoro did hear the part about Luffy never celebrating anything with is Family before. It was also then that everyone in the room decided to teach Luffy the ways of Christmas. Together every new, and old, tradition would be shared to, taught to, and enjoyed by the small captain that has gone through and seen too much. He deserved that much, and so much more.

Although this story might run into after Christmas because I will be out of town I was planning on having Usopp tell him about Santa, Chopper show him how to make a snowman, Robin show some of the older traditions, Brook show him the Christmas Carols with an unwilling Zoro (eggnog will be included there), Sanji show some food related items, Nami show the tradition of presents, and Franky show him about decorating the tree. TELL ME WHICH ONE YOU WANT FIRST!

Once again special thanks to Somefangirl, Please review, I'm a procrastinator so it helps me get done faster!
