Answer for those who are still in wonder

I came up with this fan-fic idea after watching the family favorite Rankin-Bass holiday movies. We love the movies so much that it's been a tradition in my family to watch at least one of the Rankin-Bass Christmas movies. I watched it with my older sister when I was a tot with popcorn. I'm 21 years old now and I still watch them, alone or with my nieces and nephew. Santa Claus is Coming To Town, The Year Without a Santa Claus, The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus, Nestor, the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey, and Rudolph's Shiny New Year are just a few of my favorite Rankin-Bass holiday movies.

I also love playing Animal Crossing in my spare time. I like the music change on the game when you play it on the night of Christmas Eve and try to catch Jingle to make him give you presents.

After watching a holiday special with my niece, I played Animal Crossing before going to bed but I still had the movie on my mind while playing and then this idea was born.

It took me 5 years to finish because I always started on it late. I usually never restart the fic until September or October and I tried to finish before Christmas Day because no one probably wants to read something Christmas-y until next year. There was also a point where I wanted to give up on it until one of my readers begged me to finish because he liked my idea and loved it so much.

But here it is. Completed and ready to be read. I hope you enjoy reading the fic. If you have any questions or comments, e-mail me at . I kinda rushed with finishing. If there's something that seems missing in the fan-fic, e-mail me and let me know.

Thank you to all my friends, online and offline, for support, ideas, and suggestions.

ENJOY!
