Chapter 4: Merry Christmas and a Happy Hanukah!
Twas the night before Christmas… wait a second… I suck at rhyming… well any ways…. It was the was night… wait… it's repeating… let's just say that on the Merry Go or Going Merry… whatever the ship's name is Luffy, Naruto and Zatch were awake. They decided to wait for Santa… now yoyo must be wondering why would a 17 year old and a 14 year old believe in Santa… well Luffy is Luffy… 'Nuff said and Naruto, Kyubi claimed that he knew Santa and once got into a fight with them once… They waited in the galley that when they heard… donkeys?
"On Moishe, Hershel, and Shlomo!" came a voice.
That's when a strange man came into the room… he saw the milk and cookies left for Santa.
"Oy! Someone better put it in the fridge before it turns!" said the man.
"Santa?" asked Zatch.
"Hey that's not Santa…" said Naruto.
"Yeah Santa has a red suit and he's wearing a grey one…" said Luffy.
"Yeah and Santa has a cherry nose while he has a…" said Naruto but was cut off by the man.
"AAAHH! You're a smart boy, but I am not Santa Claus, I'm Hanukah Harry! Santa Claus is coming down with a stomach virus, so I'm filling in for him for this year!" said the man named Hanukah Harry.
"What's Hanukah?" asked Zatch.
"It's what Jewish people celebrate this time of year instead of one day of presents they get 8 nights… no one on the ship is so we're celebrating Christmas…" said Luffy.
"Jesus Christ! He said something smart!" yelled Kyubi.
"So do you have our presents…" said Zatch.
Hanukah Harry then says "well Zatch you maybe a demon from another world but Santa tells me you have been a VERY good boy and so…I give you some new slacks, Naruto you definitely need these despite your mischievous nature… a new pair of socks and Monkey D. Luffy, now I know you been good this year and helping people… a sweater!"
"Yay?" said Naruto.
""What's slacks?" asked Zatch.
"Pants…" said Luffy.
"Is there any thing fun?" asked Zatch.
"FUN? Why I got funs stuff here. Now let's see… for Zatch…a dreidel! And for Naruto and Luffy…some chocolate coins!" said Hanukah Harry.
"Okay…" said Zatch.
"Oh I get it…" said Naruto.
"Get what?" asked Luffy.
"Remember those neighbors we had and how we jealous on they got 8 presents for Hanukah… maybe this what they get… and we shouldn't be jealous…" said Naruto.
"You're right! You're right!" said Luffy.
"And if Hanukkah Harry is helping Santa, maybe that means that Christians and Jews, deep down, are pretty much the same. Maybe that's the true meaning of Christmas!" said Naruto.
"Ho ho ho!" came a voice as Santa entered the room.
Luffy, Zatch, and Naruto were excited that Santa arrived
"He must have tried the cottage cheese!" said Hanukkah Harry
After Santa says "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" Zatch runs up to him and hugs him saying "Santa Claus, it's really YOU!"
Santa then says "Yes Naruto, your little speech about the true meaning of Christmas magically cured my flu! Now I can relieve Hanukkah Harry and deliver all the toys to all the gentile boys and girls!"
"Naruto, you're not supposed to open this 'til tomorrow." said Santa.
"Oh COME ON!" yelled Hanukah Harry.
"Alright, it's a Lil Bastard prank kit!" said Santa.
"OH THANK YOU SANTA!"
"Luffy, this is for you - a George Foreman Grill!" said Santa.
"We love you Santa!" said Luffy.
"And for you Zatch, accessories for your Vulcan" said Santa.
"Thanks Santa!" said Zatch.
"What am I molded white fish all of a sudden?" said Hanukah Harry.
"Oh Hanukkah Harry!" sa8d Zatch hugging him, "We love you too! If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have had Christmas at all!"
"She's right, you know!" said Santa.
"Oh Oy, STOP! You're embarrassing me!" said Hanukah Harry.
"Well we should take our leave now!" said Santa and both Santa and Hanukah Harry disappeared from the room.
The next morning Luffy, Naruto and Zatch were telling the others the story.
"And they both magical disappeared…" said Luffy.
"That story… was very stupid…" said Sasuke.
