Warning: This is a Christmas story so if it offends you in any way then please wait for Chapter 3! If not, please enjoy!
Sixty-seven year old Anna quietly walked her old legs over to Elsa's bedroom where she was sound asleep.
She creaked open the door and peered her head inside and adjusted her specs so she could see more clearly. She turned her head to look down both hallways before she crept inside. She tiptoed over to Elsa's side of the bed and tapped her shoulder.
"Elsa! Psst! Elsa!"
Elsa opened one eye and once she saw Anna she immediately turned to face the other side away from Anna and fell back asleep. Anna huffed and placed her hands on her hips.
"Elsa! It's eleven-fifteen which means it'll officially be Christmas day in forty-five minutes!"
"So what?" Elsa managed to whisper out.
"What do you mean 'so what'? That means we can do something Christmas-y for the next forty-five minutes!"
"Anna you are sixty-seven, married, have children and grandchildren, and a bed. Please go sleep in it!"
Anna rolled her eyes. "Fine! Then I guess I'll just eat all the chocolate by myself…."
"I'm up!" Elsa said quickly and struggled to get out of bed but did it efficiently.
"I knew it'd work!" Anna said to herself.
"What?" Elsa said looking up at Anna.
"Nothing, nothing. Follow me!"
Elsa slowly walked next to Anna with her eyelids constantly drooping. Why did Anna have to get her up now?
"So what exactly did you have planned in mind?"
"Can't tell you. It's a surprise!"
The two old sisters slowly but surely made their way downstairs to the grand family room where a beautiful twelve foot Christmas tree stood right in the middle of the room. The fireplace made the tree glow and set a warm and peaceful atmosphere amongst the room. The two sisters walked over to the tree and admired its beauty.
"I'm glad we can actually take a good look at it now because our grandchildren were a handful earlier and we didn't get much time to ourselves." Elsa said. "They truly are a blessing however", she added.
Anna simply nodded. She walked over to one of the many large chairs that surrounded the fireplace and sat down. She patted the arm of the chair next to her to motion Elsa to take a seat. She happily sat down next to Anna and noticed the hot chocolate and left over cookies from earlier that day.
"You know the children will be upset when they find out we ate Santa's cookies", Elsa said while eating one anyways.
Anna stuffed a chocolate sugar cookie in her mouth. "Relax. There are over eight thousand cookies in the kitchen for Santa. He'll survive." Anna said laughing.
Elsa looked at all the presents underneath the tree and smiled.
"Do you remember when you were four and I was seven and we would always come downstairs around two in the morning and Santa had left out all the presents for us and how happy you and I were?" Elsa said with the biggest smile on her face while sipping her hot chocolate.
"Of course! But remember you always had to go first?"
"I was the oldest, Anna", she said jokingly.
Anna just rolled her eyes and laughed.
"I just think it's absolutely amazing that our grandchildren can now do the same thing that we did! It's a wonderful part about life."
Anna smiled at Elsa's comment. She loved how Elsa would always lighten up with pride and love whenever she talked about her children and grandchildren. She never knew that anyone could be capable of holding so much love in their heart the way Elsa did for her family.
"What was your favorite Christmas present of all time?" Anna asked.
Elsa set down her mug and thought for a moment. "Goodness that's a difficult question! Maybe the ice sculptor made of ice that Kristoff helped Fredrik make for me or the box you gave me of all the things that remind you of me. Those ones most definitely. And you?"
Anna bit her lip and once again adjusted her specs. She began humming a tune of curiosity.
"Oh I know!"
Elsa cocked an eyebrow up at her to continue.
"Our first Christmas after the great thaw! I was just so happy to have you back in my life and that was better than any price of any gift! You can't place a price tag on the ones you love and I am so blessed to even have you as my sister and best friend. Without you I wouldn't have done and accomplished what I have. Because of you I am the Anna I am today. I can't thank you enough for being there for me all the time and always loving me even through the hard times. You being my sister is my favorite gift every year!"
Elsa had her hands over her mouth and tears streamed down her face as she pulled Anna into a hug.
"I love you so much Anna and I live for you every day! You'll always be my best friend and we'll always be together!"
"Even to build a snowman?"
"Even to build a snowman." Elsa retorted.
The large grandfather clock struck midnight and Anna squealed and stood up from her chair, Elsa doing the same. The girls pulled each other into a hug.
"Merry Christmas Elsa!" Anna beamed.
"Merry Christmas Anna." Elsa whispered back equally as happy.
As they were hugging, they heard different noises and giggles coming from down the hallway.
"Shh Isabella! Santa might be here!" Alexander whispered.
"We have to hide!" Anna said.
Elsa and Anna ran to one of the studies in the opposite direction of the giggling children. They hid behind the long door and peered their heads out to see their little grandchildren in their nightgowns holding their favorite stuffed animals.
"Look guys! It looks like Santa came!" Amelia shouted with joy as she pointed to the Christmas tree.
Elsa let out a small giggle.
Uh no he didn't. Not yet. Anna thought to herself.
"Those ones are for me!" Alexander shouted.
Anna scoffed.
"Nu uh! Boys don't get as many presents as girls!" Isabella shouted in return.
"Yeah!" Amelia agreed.
"Oh yeah? Well let's see then!" Alexander said storming over to the tree.
That's when Elsa marched over to the children.
Anna grabbed her arm.
"What are you doing?" She whispered.
"Santa never came yet!" Elsa said with a worried look in her eyes.
"Oh right! Then yes go do something!"
Elsa came from behind the door and walked gracefully up the children who immediately stopped arguing and shouting right as they saw her.
"Hi grandma!" Amelia said running over to her and giving her a hug.
"Hi sweetheart." Elsa said returning the hug with an extra squeeze.
Anna then walked in.
"Grandma! Grandma!" Isabella and Alexander shouted as they ran and hugged Anna.
"Nice to see you too." She replied with a kiss on each forehead.
"Now, what are you all doing up way past your bedtime?" Elsa questioned.
"We…we were trying to see if Santa came…", Amelia mumbled shyly.
"Pardon me?"
"We were trying to see if Santa came." She said more clearly.
"Ahh well you know Santa doesn't visit until all children are sleeping, right?" She said smiling.
"Right….", the children all said together.
"Then what does that mean?" Anna chimed in.
"We have to go to sleep?" Isabella said looking up at her.
"Yes! Now come one we'll take you all upstairs so Santa can make his stop here."
Anna took both of her grandchildren's' hands.
"Let's go Amelia." Elsa said picking up her four-year old granddaughter.
They all walked upstairs to Anna's room and they slowly opened the door to find Kristoff snoring away in their bed. The children giggled.
"Hehehe Grandpa snores really loud!" Isabella laughed.
"I know." Anna said shaking her head.
"Grandma?" Isabella said pulling at her nightgown.
"Yes baby?"
"Can we all sleep together? I'm scared." Anna looked down at her with sympathy and ruffled her brunette hair and tapped her freckled nose. She looked back up at Elsa who smiled and nodded at her.
"I don't see why not! The bed is big enough for all of us!" Anna whispered happily.
The kids quietly jumped up and down and they all tiptoed inside trying not to wake Kristoff up. Anna slid in the bed first all the way next to Kristoff. Then it came Alexander, Isabella, Amelia, then Elsa on the end. They all snuggled up next to each other.
Time passed until a little voice perked up.
"Grandma?" Isabella whispered a little loudly.
"Hmm?"
"Can you and Auntie Elsa sing?"
Anna looked at Elsa who slightly giggled and nodded her head.
"What song?" Elsa asked.
"You pick!"
"Hmm? Oh I have one!"
"Silent night, Holy night," Anna began.
Then they sang together.
"All is calm, all is bright Round yon virgin , mother and child Holy infant so, tender and mild Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace."
"Silent night, Holy night Shepherds quake, at the sight Glories stream from heaven above Heavenly, hosts sing Hallelujah. Christ our Savior is born,"
Before Anna could say the last line, Elsa cut her off.
"Anna! They've fallen asleep." She whispered.
"Okay." She whispered back. "Merry Christmas Elsa, I love you."
"I love you too and Merry Christmas.
Anna sighed.
"Christ our Savior is born", She finished and fell into a beautiful sleep.
A/N: So there you have it! I actually really liked this one so I hope you did too!
