Challenge: 12 Days Day 7 Something from the past remembered on Christmas Eve


John stared at the Christmas Tree in anticipation; tomorrow they would open all the brightly color packages beneath the tree and discover what was inside. Also, someone named Santa Claus would bring him a gift because he'd been a very good boy, according to Rodney.

It was then that he wondered why? This seemed like a fun holiday, but why did they celebrate it? It had come with them from Earth. Teyla mentioned that she hadn't celebrated it before the Tau'ri came to Pegasus. What was Christmas and why did they celebrate it? Where had it come from?

The memory came like a flash, and he saw himself standing beside a cardboard stable with a bath towel on his head as he knelt beside a wooden box holding a baby doll. He could hear the chatter and the giggles of the children in the audience.

Opening his eyes, John looked at Teyla who was reading nearby. "Who is Jesus and what does he have to do with Christmas?"

A beautiful smile crossed Tyela's face. "Come and sit beside me and I will tell you the story that was told to me, not so long ago."

John crossed the room and snuggled in beside Teyla as he listened to her tell him a story of love and hope.


Merry Christmas to all and I hope you have a wonderful New Year.
