It was Christmas Eve and while his older brother and sister were sleeping besides his mom, Rocket was awake excitedly awaiting the beingknown as SantaClaus to leavepresents under their tree plus had left berry cookies for him, however the male youngster had set up a trap to catch said being for a practical joke despite his mom warning him, that was not the smartest idea, but Rocket knew he was just having fun, like his friend Howard.

"Come on Santa, I got all night." he muttered, eating a cookie, knowing Santa might not appreciate his mom's cookies, hearing sleigh bells making tne male kit excitec seeing the gift giver there impressed by the trap, knowing very well who had made it knowing he was there.

"Why would you make this kind of thing, Rocket?" he asked making the kit nervous, because he had not expected this to happen.

"Howard dared me to, plus I was bored, you know?" Rocket admitted to him making Santa chuckle.

"Well you shoukd listen to your friend less, but this is very good." he said to him leaving the den, making Rocket grin, seeing stuff in his stocking and gifts under the tree for him and his family.

"Wait until Howard hears this, when I see him." he said just as his family woke up, stunning his brother and sister.

"Wow so you met Santa, or talked to him?" Lylla asked Rocket, as it was the beginning of December meaning Christmas or Grootmas in his words was approaching so Rocket had been telling his family a story from when he was little with their kids also listening making Lylla grin.

"Yes and for some weird reason, I did not get coal, like my mom threatened Santa would." Rocket replied to her.

"Well he must have seen how awesome you were, just like our kids will be." she replied.

Plus the kids being that little didn't understand Christmas, and fixated with the Christmas tree, especiallyKala and Kari were tempted to climb it thanks to their instincts which Rocket thought hilarious, and Lylla worried because Kala and Kari were climbing all over the house, despite Rocket saying it was just their instincts.

"Dareyou to climb that tree, Kala!" Kari said seeing her smaller sister agree, while their mom was out, climbing up the tree, knocking ornaments and candy canes off amusing Rocket as it reminded him of some of the things which he and his siblings used to do, at this age and saw Lylla shocked by what was going on.

"Rockie what the heck, get them down, before tney get hurt!" she yelled at him.

"Aw just relax, as my siblings and I used to do this all the time, it's just instincts." he assured her as Kit was watching the antics her sisters were causing, relieving Lylla that she was not copying, so saw Rocket climbing up there, making Kala and Kari giggle, becausenow their dad was joining in their climbing game unaware he was trying to get them down, scooping tnem up gently, climbing down relieving Lylla.

"Tnanks, as that was close, but you alright?" Lylla asked him seeing him nod in reply, as he saw they wanted to climb up there again, so was trying to distract tnem from wanting to using candy canes seeing Kit come over, making Rocket chuckle as it was cute so was letting them be, while Lylla was going out holiday

After getting them milk, he was putting them down for an nap, so he could do things like inventing until Lylla got back, hoping she was alright because this time of year shopping got crazy chuckling imagining things humming to himself, trying not to wakke his kids up
