AN: I don't own Ed Edd n Eddy or any one from the show
Double D woke earlier than usual that Christmas morning to find his house, not surprisingly empty.
He sighed. His parents were never home, he couldn't remember the last holiday they had together. He was in o hurry to get up as he lay staring at the ceiling in his bedroom.
"Just once, why can't I have just one Christmas with my family?" he whispered to himself. His Christmases consisted of sitting in the house watch Holiday specials on television and taking a moment to call both Ed and Eddy to wish them a Merry Christmas. This year, Double D's house which had always been so beautifully decorated both inside and out, sat lacking the ornaments, lights and other Christmas items.
He got out of bed and put on his slippers to head into the kitchen where he found his parents' annual Christmas note.
Dear Eddward,
Merry Christmas,
We are very sorry that we could not spend this time with you and we hope you can understand.
There is a box of hot cocoa mix in the cupboard, and some cookies on the counter.
Don't stay up too late.
Love,
Mother and Father
Again Double D sighed.
"Why can't either of you understand, Hot cocoa and cookies are a nice treat but nothing would be better that to spend time with my family, just once, one Christmas, a fourth of July, half of a birthday. Perhaps a telephone call.
Mother, Father, it's been so very long since I actually heard your voices that I-I can hardly remember what you sound like."
He rummaged through the cupboard and pulled out the cocoa mix and a mug. Then walked over to the refrigerator and pulled out the milk to begin heating it. He then took a small plate and took two of the cookies and sat it on the table and waited.
Outside he could here the children laughing as they played with their gifts. A wave of sadness fell over him. He had no desire to go out and be with them today.
After having his breakfast, he retreated into the living room and began looking through the channels until he came to one of his favorite movies.
As he watched the sadness grew, the family standing close together, the father picking up his daughter as she explained what the teacher had told them about the sound of a bell. Double D yawned the warm milk in his cocoa was taking effect.
Soon, he nodded off to sleep on the couch.
