I don't know why no one seems to have done this yet, but I'm going for it!

I try to do a Christmas story every year, and since I'm currently hooked on Wreck-It Ralph, it all fits perfectly together!

FIRST OF ALL, there's some required viewing for this first chapter: Irving Berlin's White Christmas, starring Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney, and Vera Ellen.

There's no "saving Christmas" plot for this; it's just a sweet, sugary, lovey-dovey story of the first family Christmas for the It-Family, as I like to call them.

So bundle up, take your insulin, and get ready for Christmas fluff!


Chapter One: Family Portrait
Calhoun chuckled at the way Vanellope was pouting; she knelt and adjusted the child's white sable headdress that circled her hair while taking the full brunt of her displeasure.

"Do I really have to do this?" she muttered.

"Yes," Tammy smirked and feathered out the girl's bangs, "One, it's Christmas—specifically, our first family Christmas. Two, sometimes you have to do stuff like this for the people you love"

"You don't seem to have a problem," said Vanellope, "I wouldn't figure you'd even like dresses."

"Only on special occasions," Tammy smiled again, "which this is."

The two ladies and their It Men were in the Ice Cream Mountain region of Sugar Rush, where the ever-sprinkling powdered sugar provided the perfect background for their family Christmas portrait. Ralph and Felix were dressed in warm velvet Santa suits with big sequined Christmas stars here and there in dark shades of red so they didn't stand out too much. They also had the standard Santa hats, white gloves, and black boots.

The girls were wearing beautiful long-sleeved, floor length Santa style dresses of the same pattern and material as the boys. Calhoun's had white trim in an A-shape down one side of the skirt and circling just above the bottom, a white muff, and a big hair pin on the left side of her head like a sprig of holly. Vanellope's dress had more white trim. One circled her shoulders and some made an A-shape on one side and curved down the other side. She also had a white muff and the white sable headdress. Both girls also wore red gloves.

"Well, at least this one's comfy," Vanellope conceded, "And it looks good on me, right?"

"It looks perfect on you," said Calhoun, "You're beautiful."

"As are you, Mrs. Fix-It," said Felix from the side. He wrapped an arm around his wife and turned her face to steal a kiss; Vanellope went "bleh" and trotted off to Ralph. The married couple chuckled at her.

"You don't look half bad yourself," she said appreciatively, "Is everything ready?"

"Yep," he said brightly, "Sour Bill's got the whole thing set up!" Tammy nodded, adjusted her hairpin, and stood up.

"You didn't hear it from me, but I'm actually enjoying this," she said as they walked off hand in hand, "It'll be nice to pose for a picture out of uniform…and for a family picture." Felix squeezed her hand and she smiled a bit bashfully. "Besides, it's my first Christmas," she added, "Might as well do it right!"

Felix smiled lovingly at her and said, "I'm glad I get to be part of it."

"I certainly wouldn't be doing this without you," she replied, "especially since this was your idea!"

"Heh, heh!" he laughed and blushed, "Yeah, White Christmas is my favorite Christmas film, so this has always been a dream of mine!"

"I hope that doesn't include me doing a Sisters number with the kid, 'cause I don't go for those giant feathered fans," she said wryly. Felix laughed again and said, "No, this is enough for me!"

"Okay, how are we doing this?" Ralph asked as they approached the others. Sour Bill had what was actually a highly professional camera cleverly dressed up as an old-fashioned one on a tripod with a big umbrella standing over it. A big red sleigh was standing nearby, drawn by two splendid white sugar horses strapped in red harnesses with golden sleigh bells!

"Oh! Well…" Felix hopped over. "Let's see—Tammy, you stand here behind Ralph. Ralph, you turn to your left—yep, that's it! Now hold up your right hand, palm up. Vanellope, you stand right there in his hand!" Vanellope hiked up her skirts and jumped from the sleigh onto the giant, white-gloved hand. "Okay," Felix continued, "Now turn to your left and put your hands in your muff. 'Atta girl! Remember to stand up straight! Now Tammy, I want your right hand on Ralph's elbow. Yep! Just like that! Now everybody hold it!"

He hopped onto the edge of the sleigh seat; it stuck out just far enough to show his feet and was just high enough for him to get right behind Tammy and hold her elbow. "Okay!" he piped, "Eyes on the camera!" They all turned their heads to their right, where Sour Bill was waiting.

"Everybody ready?" he asked with his usual cheer.

"Yes, sir!" Felix answered, "Fire when ready!"

"Mm-kay," said Bill, "Smile and say cheese."

"Cheese!"

Click!

"I'll have them ready by dinnertime," he announced.

"Thanks, Billy!" Vanellope chirped, "Now let's head back to the castle! It's party time!"


Author's Review:
In case you're wondering, yes-I AM one of those people bound and determined to get Calhoun in a dress!

Sorry that was so short, but I'm working on the rest of it and I wanted to get started BEFORE Christmas, so there it is!

Okay, if anyone takes commission requests, I would die happy if someone would draw the Wreck-It Ralph crew exactly like the cover of White Christmas! The image is just so perfect, but I'm not talented enough to draw something that beautiful myself. My art lies in the written word so I'm begging for someone, ANYone, to please do that for me!

Plus: I'm thinking of getting a Wattpad. It looks like a good website, but I'm not sure. What are your thoughts on that? Please stay tuned for the next chapter!
