Nobody can sleep on Christmas Eve
-Garfield
"Rose, go to sleep already," Ron pleaded with his five year old daughter.
"But Daddy, its Christmas Eve and I want to see Santa!"
"Are you sure we just can't spell her to sleep?" Ronald asked his wife, and not for the first time, either.
"No dear, we cannot spell our daughter to sleep, even if it is Christmas Eve."
It was then an idea occurred to Ron. A very evil and dastardly idea. He would spoil his girl, but say he wasn't… "Rosie," he cooed, "if you don't go to sleep, Santa won't come!"
Though it doesn't need saying, we will mention it anyway. Little Rose was asleep faster than you could say "Happy Christmas Eve!"

Scorpius Malfoy got the same thing for Christmas every year from his father, but somehow he always had to check.
So even he, who would be getting a pair of socks from his father, was terribly excited, and bounced around the house—no, mansion—in a way that only a five year old could.
"Scorpius," Draco pleaded with his son, "just go to sleep!"
But Scorpius continued to jump around and shout, "It's almost Christmas, everyone!"
Astoria watched and laughed as Draco screamed at their son. He didn't mean it, she knew, and it was Christmas, after all. However, the next day when Scorpius opened his Granger doll from 'Santa' it would be very, very interesting. She couldn't wait to see Draco's expression.
I had no idea what to do. This right here took me twenty minutes and hasn't been edited. Merry Christmas Eve (apparently they say Happy Christmas in Britain…) and I am going to go wrap presents. Joy.
I don't own HP or Garfield.
Please review. And is it pathetic that I had that quote memorized?
