"The best gifts of all around any Christmas tree: The presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other."

-Burton hills

~*~Chapter One~*~

Katara, Sokka, and Toph dragged their bags out of the house. Aang was due to arrive at the southern water tribe any minute. GranGran, Pakku, and Hakoda followed them, to say their goodbyes. Zuko invited the gang to celebrate Christmas at the fire nation Palace.

"Can you believe it toph? Christmas at the Fire nation palace!" Katara exclaimed, twirling in the snow.

"Quite Frankly Katara, I'm just happy to get out of here! I appreciate you taking me in and all, but I really don't like the snow, I cant see with it"

"I'm just happy I get to see Suki." Sokka sang. He hasn't seen her in months.

"Ha, I bet Suger Queen here is excited to see her boyfriend!" teased Toph.

"Who?!?!?" Sokka asked.

Katara and Toph looked at each other. God, could Sokka be clueless at times.

"Aang, you idiot!" toph yelled as smacked Sokka in the arm.

"errr, OW!" he screamed rubbing his sore arm.

"Complements of The future Mrs. Twinkle Toes and I!"

"Toph, cut it out" Katara warned. Ever since they received the invitation, Toph did nothing but tease her about seeing Aang again. They haven't seen Aang since Sozin's Comet, a few months before.

At that moment, they heard the familiar roar of Appa, and on the Horizon, Aang appeared. When he landed, he received a huge hug from all of them. He also bowed to master Pakku.

"How've you been Aang?" he asked.

"I've been great"

"When you drop Katara, Toph and Sokka off next week, You have to show me how much you've progressed in water bending" He happily demanded.

"Will do!" Aang said with a smile.

"Go on, Zuko must be expecting you kids." GranGran urged.

They all said goodbye to Hakoda, GranGran and Pakku. Even though the kids were going to buy gifts for eachother at the Fire nation Capitol, Sokka already had his gift for Pakku.

"Grandpakku, I present you with this!" Sokka said, shoving the gift in Pakku's face.

"What the….?" He was baffled by the strange sock like garment with a deformed wood chunk protruding from it.

"It's a headband! Only the best for mah Grandpakku!" Sokka piped out, causing any seal in a 10 mile radius to start yelping.

"What's this thing coming out of it?"

"It's a carving of you!"

"Ugh, goodbye Sokka."

"Wait! Aren't you gonna put it on for me?"

"Goodbye Sokka! And how many times have I told you? Stop calling me Grandpakku!" He said pushing him onto Appa's tail.

The kids waved as they took flight. They were all so happy to catch up with Aang, and hear about his travels. They had a while to do so, for in a few hours, they'd arrive at the Palace.

A/N

I've been feeling in the christmas mood lately. All I can say at the moment is I'm embarassed by my other fanfics. They're perfect examples of bad writing. However, I intend to start fresh wth this story, I realllly want it to come out great, lol. and I know, they probly dont celebrate Christmas in the avatar world, but I wanted them to in this fanfic. so yea...lol

So, I know It's starting out slow, but I already have the plot planned out, and I plan on this fanfic being funny, but very emotional in later chapters. So with that said, I hope everyone has a happy thanksgiving, and If I have time, I plan on making this into a doujinshi on Deviantart

Thanks again for reading, please reveiw ^_^
