The Twelve Days of Christmas start with Christmas Day and finish with the eve of Epiphany on 5th January just to let you know. Anway, I will update everyday for 12 days with different pairings each time. Hope you like! MERRY CHRISTMAS! Well it is here in Australia :P

This is my first Christmas with Sokka. Despite his crazy antics and his failed attempts at convincing the children of his tribe that he is the Prince of The Water Tribe, he's really not that bad once you get to know him.

After out near death experience at Sozin's Comet we got closer to each other, formed a great relationship and from then on we've been dating. How we possibly put up with each other is beyond me, it's one question I've never been able to answer. But what I can tell you is this; we are in love for reasons unknown.

Today is as you all know; Christmas, and my mother, father and myself are lazily (and impatiently) seated around the Christmas Tree in the middle of our lounge area. My father has continuously complained about how Sokka misses out on half the day and all the rest of it, but I insist that he sleeps in. It annoys my father, right? So, that's the fun part of it. I call it Christmas Spirit.

Though, I am happy at the thought that I get to spend my Christmas with my family. Aang and Katara are coming around later for a huge family get together.

I've never been a typical fan of Christmas. My parents would buy me so many presents that some are still shoved in my closet wrapped up like the day I got it. They spoilt me, and I didn't like it. They thought I was defenceless, and I didn't like it. But they've finally grown to except me, and I'm sure this is one Christmas I'll remember forever.

"Sokka!" I call before he even comes into view, causing my parents to jump violently.

"Hey, Babe! Merry Christmas!"

"Merry Christmas to you too!"

He gives me a one-handed hug. I instantly become curious.

"What have you got in your hand?"

"Nothing."

"Yes you have, give it here." I attempt to reach his hand but to no avail.

He laughs. "OK, OK, I'll give it to you afterward."

I nod reluctantly. I guess I missed out on acting like this when I was a small girl, waiting up for Santa to come, running downstairs to open my presents, waking up mum and dad too early. I feel all giddy inside.

After half an hour of ripping open presents and admiring them before throwing them to the side to find out what the next one held, I finally turn to Sokka.

"So, what are you holding in your other hand?"

A small but strong hand found mine and an object is placed in my hand. I feel its texture and smell it then I frown. "What is it?"

"A pear!" He exclaims excitedly.

My frown deepens. "A pear," I repeat in a much more of a drone than his voice, my eyebrow rose questioningly.

"Yep."

How he is remaining enthusiastic I don't know. Nonetheless I attempt to keep a smile on my face and my tone even. But still, he got me a pear? Oh well, it's the thought that counts I guess….

"But there's more!"

A mango? I snort despite myself.

"OK, what?" I decide to ask as he is so eager to tell me.

"Come with me."

He takes my hand and leads me outside. I smell the fresh morning air and breathe it in.

"OK, close your eyes."

Ever since we've been together…actually ever since we met he manages to always forget that I'm blind. Usually I retort with either a smart remark that is offensive to him, come straight out with a witty remark or I just snap at him for forgetting I'm blind. But in this case I don't bother to correct him. I close my sightless eyes and continue to let him lead me outside.

My bare feet hit the dew-covered grass and I wriggle my toes.

We seem to arrive at my present and I hear a bird whistling a sweet melody.

"Open!"

I open my eyes, and to my 'surprise' I can't see anything. Mum and dad who I feel following me say, "Darling, Sokka has got you a pear tree."

I laugh. It's the thought counts. "Thank you, Sokka," I say genuinely embracing him.

I feel his heart go faster and he's obviously happy that I like it.

"Look at that sweetheart, there's a partridge in your tree."

"They are a very rare bird in the earth kingdom," my dad says knowingly.

Toph: On the first day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
A partridge in a pear tree.

Ideas for pairings are appreciated. Have a great Christmas!
