A Warm Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the world

Not a country was stirring; not even Hanatamago!

But what was this?

Why, it was the country of Finland! He was taking last minute Christmas gifts request; until he saw one request that caught his eyes.

Finland sighed happily as he looked out the window. "Ah Christmas, the best time of the year! Ho ho ho!" Finland said opening up a large red and green wooden door. He walked into the room smiling happily as the wind blew his pale blonde hair and looked at the many gifts surrounded him. He looked across the room and saw a wooden desk with a large throne like chair in front of it. He walked to the desk and sat down sighing. "What do I want this Christmas?" Finland asked himself 'Something different… Something unique…' Just as he was thinking, Hanatamago came in running holding a letter in her mouth.

Finland lightly laughed, bent down, and took the letter from Hanatamago "Silly girl!" He sat down in his fluffy red chair and slowly opened the letter "My my, these late letters are increasing year by year," he said sighing tiredly. "Let's see!" he said unfolding the letter. He read the letter out loud:

Dear St. Nicholas,

All I want for Christmas is to not to be mistaken for my brother anymore. I love him, but I'm not him, and he's not me. Maybe if there was a way to be noticed, they'll know me for who I really am! I know you deliver gifts, not create miracles, but maybe if you can do this for me, I'll be grateful for a long while! Thank you for at least reading this.

"How am I supposed to do this order?" he said in his mind. Hanatamago barked lightly tilting her head. Finland petted the small dog's head lightly and whispered softly "It's okay girl…" Just then a tall blonde man slowly walked through the door "Sweden! Good to see you!" Sweden nodded entering the door slowly. "I got a present for you," he said holding out a blue and white present out to Finland. "Oh Kiitos Mr. Swe!" Finland said cheerily "I'll open it later!" Hanatamago barked happily and ran around in small circles. Sweden gave a small smile and picked her up. "Any problem with the presents?" Sweden asked walking towards Finland.

Finland sighed and handed him the letter "It's hard, I want to grant the wish, but I'm no wizard." Sweden looked over the letter "Hm, I wish I could help, but I can't. You'll find a way." Sweden walked slowly out of the door with Hana. Finland sat in his chair and thought 'Time is running out, and I'm just lying here… What should I do?'

Thanks for reading! I know it's short, but I didn't want to write too much for this chapter either. So please R&R! ^^
