Season 2 chapter 3: Christmas in Ever After

It was that time of year again in Ever After. The air was crisp, there was snow everywhere, everything was decorated, and the smell of hot chocolate was in the air. It was Christmas time, and everyone was in a good happy mood, even the villains.

The kids of Ever After were looking forward to the holiday, even though it was only December 2nd. They had just arrived at school, which was decorated with holly, snowflakes, garland, and mini Christmas trees.

When class started, and when they were all seated, a pink ball of light came floating into the room, and Mrs. Godmother appeared.

"Merry Christmas, everyone." she greeted.

"Merry Christmas, Mrs. Godmother."

"Now, I know we're all in the holiday spirit, so let's make this a fun day."

And a fun day it was, they spelled Christmas words, had Christmas themed math problems, and were read a Christmas story. Then lunch and recess came. The kids had fun playing outside in the snow, making snow angels, throwing snowballs, and making snowmen.

After recess, the kids went into the cafeteria, and got their trays for lunch.

"Merry Christmas, Miss Thorn." said Maria.

"Whatever, what'll you have?" asked Faybelle.

"Uh, the chicken sandwich please."

As the kids ate, they couldn't help but wonder why Miss Thorn was in such a bad mood.

"I don't understand what's wrong." mentioned Rain.

"Yeah, Miss Thorn may be tough, but she's just downright sour." added Winter.

"Maybe she doesn't like Christmas?" suggested Jake.

"That's crazy everyone loves Christmas." Fern told him.

"Yeah, but there's always that one person who doesn't like the holidays." reminded Griffin.

When lunch was over the kids went back to class, Mrs. Godmother had a surprise for them.

"Well class, we have some decorations and we're going to decorate our classroom."

The kids cheered, and went to work. Owen taped paper ornaments, trees, and snowflakes on the wall, Spice hung up gold garland. Sequoia and Ash strung lights around the Christmas tree, Rose hung decorations on it.

Deven and William put white fluff, that looked like snow on window sills. Maisie, Luna, and Gabriel hung candy canes onto the tree. And Kit and Cameron put on the star. When they were all done the room looked beautiful.

When school was over the kids were picked up and went home with their parents. At each house the kids were doing a holiday traditions with their families. At Cameron's house instead of snowflakes, they put up hearts around the house.

Kit and Kitty played a little game. They would turn invisible and see who could get to the Christmas tree first. Cupid and Gabriel prepared food for the needy in Ever After, and Luna and Cerise decided on what kind of meat they would have for Christmas dinner, this year decided to have pork chops.

At Maisie's house she and her mom were making Christmas shaped teacakes and Christmas drinks to serve the customers. William and his mom were getting ready for their holiday picture at the mall.

Deven and Duchess were getting ready for the annual Christmas ballet, the Nutcracker. Briar and Rose decorated their house with green and red paper flowers, Sequoia and Ash helped their mom make Christmas ornaments, and then helped hang them.

Spice was helping her mom bake apple and pumpkin pie, brownies, and other holiday treats. At Owen's house, he and his family were preparing for their TV debut. Since Blondie was a reporter every year she, Humphrey and Owen would go on the news and wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

Griffin and Fern decorating their rooms for Christmas, Jake and his family were going to help out at the Ever After Animal Shelter for Christmas. At Winter's house she and her parents would be singing carols to their neighbors.

Rain and her parents had just finished decorating their tree, and with Maria and her parents they would go around the land, wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. As the holiday neared everyone was getting happier every day.

Except for Faybelle Thorn. The kids wondered why she was so angry, so they decided to ask Mrs. Godmother.

"Mrs. Godmother, why is Miss Thorn so sour?" wondered Rain.

"I'm not sure, Rain." Mrs. Godmother replied.

"But everyone should be happy around Christmas." William piped up.

"I know, but sometimes when a person's lonely seeing everyone happy and together it puts them in a bad mood."

That explained it, Faybelle was always alone, and she didn't always look happy. At recess the kids got together, and discussed what they were going to do about Faybelle.

"Why don't we make her a card?" suggested Maria.

"That's a good idea, and in it we can tell her how much we appreciate her." agreed Kit.

"Yeah, and while we're making a card for her, let's make some for the other staff." suggested Gabriel.

So after lunch, the kids asked Mrs. Godmother if they could make Christmas cards.

"Of course, children, you know where all the art stuff is."

So the kids went to work, they folded, drew, glued, sprinkled glitter, and writing. Soon they were all finished.

"Mrs. Godmother, can we go hand out the cards?" asked Winter.

"Sure thing, be sure to come right back."

The kids went through the school handing out their cards. They gave one to Principal Rosabella, nurse Lilly Bo Peep, Coach Dee and Coach Dum, and finally they went to the cafeteria.

They saw that Faybelle was just leaving.

"Miss Thorn?" called Luna.

"What are you kids doing here?" asked Faybelle.

"We wanted to give you something." told Jake, handing her the card.

Faybelle took it, and opened it. The cover had a picture of a Christmas tree on it and inside, was a picture of her serving lunch to the kids.

"We really appreciate you serving us lunch everyday, we really hope you have a Merry Christmas this year, from Mrs. Godmother's kids."

She looked at the kids, who were smiling at her.

"Why'd you make this for me?"

"Well, we noticed that you seemed kinda grumpy and sad." said Maisie.

"So we made you the card to try and cheer you up." finished Griffin.

"Cause we think you're a really good lunch lady." added Fern.

Faybelle looked back at the card, then back at the kids. In her chest she felt something warm, like happiness. Then she cracked a little smile, and said.

"Well, you kids aren't half bad yourself, and I think I'll hold onto this." said Faybelle, and left.

The kids had succeeded in cheering up Faybelle.

When Christmas Day arrived, all the kids were having a great day. They opened presents, played with their new stuff, and did their traditions. At Faybelle's house, she looked at the card the kids gave her.

She smiled at it, and put it on her mantle.

"You know, I think I'm looking forward to serving those munchkins lunch next year." she said.
