A/N – Hey guys! So, this is just an idea I had about what Christmas would be like for Remus and Tonks (and Teddy!) It's kinda AU because Remus & Tonks were dead for Teddy's first Christmas :'c( and in this story they survived the final battle, but hopefully you'll really like it! This was inspired gurugirl's xmas fic, so you should go check that out too, cos it's REALLY good!

Teddy's First Christmas
It was Christmas morning, and Remus Lupin awoke to a face full of bright pink hair, belonging to his wife.
"Good Morning!" Tonks grinned, cheerily. He never knew how she was so awake on a morning.
"Morning Dora, Merry Christmas!" Remus replied, smiling as he kissed his wife on the forehead.
Just then the heard a cry from the other room – their son was awake.
"Ooh – I'm so excited for Teddy's first Christmas!" Exclaimed Dora, leaping out of bed to fetch their son.
A few minutes later, Tonks arrived back in the room holding a blue haired toddler in her arms. She sat him on the bed between her and her husband, and began fetching presents for them to open.
"Do you want to give this one to daddy?" Tonks asked her son.
Teddy simply grinned back and threw the present at his father, hitting him square in the chest.
"Just like his mother" Remus chuckled, unwrapping the present from his wife and son. It turned out to be a first edition copy of 'the tales of beedle the bard.'
"Thank you!" Remus thanked his wife with a kiss.
"I thought you could read it to Teddy when he's a bit older" Nymphadora said.
"Now it's your turn" Remus said handing his wife a rectangular shaped present. Tonks could barely contain her excitement as she ripped the paper off – she was possibly more excited than Teddy!
"Aww – I love it!" Tonks said smiling down at the photo of the 3 of them.
"We thought you could put it on your desk at work, to make you think of us"
"That's really sweet, thank you!" said Dora to her husband as she kissed her son.
"Ok, Teddy – now for your presents!" Dora said passing a small parcel to her baby son. Teddy shredded the wrapping paper happily and shook his new toys from his parents.
"Now, this next one's from Mrs Weasley" said Remus. "I wonder what it could be…"
Remus and Tonks watched as their son opened the present from Molly. It was a blue jumper with a wolf on the front of it. Remus laughed.
"Ok, Teddy. This last one's from Harry – he's your god father" Tonks explained to her son.
Teddy once again ripped the wrapping paper off, to unveil a toy broomstick for children. With this gift was a moving picture of a little boy with spiky black hair zooming in and out of the frame on the same broomstick that was now Teddy's.
"I remember this photo being taken." Remus told Dora "Sirius bought that broomstick for Harry on his first Christmas!"
Tonks turned the photograph over and written on the back was a message:
Teddy,
This broomstick was given to me by my godfather on my first Christmas. Hopefully you will have as many fond memories on it as I had.
Have a wonderful Christmas!
See you soon, Harry x
"That's such a nice present" said Tonks with a tear in her eye – she still wasn't over her cousin's death.
"Sirius would've loved to be here" Remus agreed. As he looked down at his son, Remus almost had a heart attack – he was gone.
"Dora, where's Teddy?" Remus asked, panicking.
At that moment, a squeal was heard as a little boy zoomed into the room on his toy broomstick. Remus and Tonks laughed as they watched their son happily fly around the house for the rest of the day.
Thanks for reading - please review! If I get lots then I will start a multi-chapter fic!
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
