The cold winter air was well below freezing that night. The clouds where large and fluffy blocking out the night sky. It was late and most of Amity park was asleep. Christmas wasn't quite the next day but close enough for the last week of school before break and all the malls to be packed despite the time of day. The kids were still waiting for the first snowfall and praying for it to happen before Christmas day. As the big day arrived the Fentons were faced with a mind boggling question.
"Sooo, what is Christmas exactly?" Delilah asked at dinner. It had been two weeks since she first came home and things were finally settling down. Until that question was asked. Then all hell broke loose as Maddie and Jack tried to talk over each other and the six o'clock news.
"Well you see once a year Santa"
"It's a hoax really all you do is"
"And all the good boys and girls"
"The parents go and buy toys for their kids while using Santa as a form of blackmail"
"and then he comes down the chimney with his sack of toys!"
"THIS JUST IN: THE GHOST ENZASION-"
"Where!" They yelled
"I'll just go ask Danny, Who's in his room, right now." She said running up the stairs grabbing Jazz on her way up. "Danny's got this Delilah"
"I made a big mistake."
"What did you do?" Jazz drawled out narrowing her eyes.
"I asked what Christmas is and they, like exploded. EVERYWHERE! Who the hell is Santa? AND WHY IS HE BREAKING INTO HOUSES!?"
Jazz lost it. She fell to the floor laughing,
"SaNTA, isn't-HE'S just A fairyTale." she managed
"Oh. But then, why does Dad believe in him?"
"Just, the holidays are a wreck here. So don't ask them any questions about it."
"Okay? But, like for real. What is Christmas? I've heard of it. But what do you do for Christmas? And what's the point?"
"Family mostly. You just get with family and celebration. The real reasons to celebrate are forgotten but we still do it."
"Oh okay? But, why?"
"It's fun, just try to enjoy it instead of questioning it." Jazz said soothingly Delilah nodded hesitantly.
Hey sorry about how long its been but I just really don't like where this was going so i'm going to do some serious editing of what was the next few chapters which it will have done at the end of the week.
