(MC and I are sitting in front of a Christmas tree in a decorated room)

Hello friends. Merry Christmas!

MC: And a happy new year!

Ah yes, after 24 days, we've finally made it to the most wondeful time of the year.

MC: That's right. Christmas time!

And we're down to our last chapter of TCB, where Maggie spends time with her family.

MC: Yep.

Now, just sit back, relax, and enjoy this lovable chapter.

Chapter 25: The best Christmas of all

On the cold evening of Christmas Eve in Newport News, Virginia, Maggie stood in front of her house. For as of now, her journey has come to an end. And she had finished writing down in her Christmas book. As the ten-year-old gripped her book, she turned to look at her friends who were standing behind her.

That's when she said to them, "Well... it's time to celebrate my holiday... Christmas..."

Willow nodded, "Indeed it is..."

But now she was curious about something important. involving her friends! "Wait... what are you guys doing here anyways?"

Shawn explained that, "Well, we figured that since we each had a chance to celebrate our own holidays together. We figured why not do the same with you for Christmas."

Maggie shook her head, "That's really nice of you guys, but no. I don't want you guys to miss out on the rest of your holidays. I just it to be me and my family this time. Besides, I've got a lot to show my mom and brother, and I don't think my mom will let you stay."

The friends knew Maggie had a good point right there as Sofia says, "That's okay, Maggie. We understand."

"Besides, we wouldn't want to intrude on your holiday." Willow added.

Maggie smiled. "Thanks guys... I guess... this is goodbye..."

"Until we meet again." Willow corrected her.

"Yeah. Until we meet again."

With that, after a few hugs, Maggie walked into her house... where she was greeted by her mother.

"Maggie, honey. Back so soon?"

The ten-year-old hugged her mother tightly. She had really missed for all the time she had been away. But has it really been that long? "Hi, Mom. How long have I been gone?"

Mrs. Joyner chuckled, "Almost all day. So did you have fun with you princess friend?"

"Yeah! I was able to get a lot in my book. And look, I even found Dolline." Maggie took out her favorite doll to show her mother, who smiled brightly. With that, Maggie settled down with her family as a musical number occurred.

Here we are

Warm and cozy by the fire's glow

Maggie was sitting by the fireplace as her mother gave her some hot cocoa, in which she thanked her.

Singing song, and stealing kisses

Under the mistletoe

We've finished our feast

Had the tastiest treats

But the spirit of Christmas just isn't complete...

Without true friends and family

And the memories we recall

It's the love we share that fills the air

That makes this the best Christmas of all...

As Maggie sat with her mother, she started to think over her adventures... and her family. "Mom... you know what would make this Christmas really good... is if Dad was here."

Mrs. Joyner frowned a bit, "I know... this is the first Christmas we're gonna spend without him."

"I miss him so much, Mom."

"Me too, baby."

The two hugged tightly as the snow outside fell lightly. Later on, Maggie was in her room, putting up the finishing touches in her book, editing or grammar mistakes. As she did, she thought of how much her little brother would love this book, even if he was just a newborn. "Gosh. I've come a long ways today. Befriending Willow was the best thing I've done yet." She thought out loud to herself.

Unknown to Maggie, from outside the window. Her friend Willow was smiling at her.

"Merry Christmas, Maggie..."

The next day...

It was Christmas morning...

And the entire family was in the living room opening their gifts. "Look Marcus, you got a Santa hat." Mrs. Joyner put the little hat on Maggie's brother, who cooed happily. As for Maggie, She had gotten some great gifts, such as the following, DVD's of her favorite cartoons, clothes, doll accessories, and other things. She then looked down at her book.

And after taking a deep breath, she walks towards her little brother and tells him, "Hey... do you wanna hear a story...?" She asked the baby. The little boy began to make cute noises, and waved his arms with glee. Maggie took that as a yes. "I sure would love to hear your stories." Mrs. Joyner said.

"Great!"

With that, Maggie proceeds with telling her little brother and mother all the stories she has written down in her book.

"So, it all started when Mom gave me this book..."

The best Christmas all of indeed.

MC: It certainly was!

And this was a great Christmas tale! I wanna thank all of you who reviewed this story, and you MC for helping me with this story.

MC: Aw shucks! I was glad to help out. Now before we go, there's someone what would like to share a special message for the holiday.

And who's that?

Georgethe: *Steps In* It's me!

MC: That's right! I figured that since she only had one appearance in this story at this point, and not much has happened since then. I thought it would be fair for her to come and help out with ending this story. By sharing with us something very important regarding the holiday we're celebrating.

Oh cool!

MC: Indeed it is. Now then, Georgethe, please. Share away!

Georgethe: *Nods, and clears throat* Well, for what we have seen towards near the end of the story in the last few chapters. They all have a very special thing in common. Cause when it comes to the holidays, it's not just about opening gifts and eating dinner and celebrating. It's also about taking the opportunity to spend time with your family and the ones you love closest to your heart. Along with the love that we all share, no matter what kind of holiday it is. So as we celebrate the rest of Christmas, just know that no matter what happens. Spending time with your family is truly something magical, and to remember for years to come and share with your own family when you grow up. And god bless to everyone.

Very sweet, now with that, I wish you guys a Merry Christmas, and we'll see you guys later. Don't forget to review, please. Thank you.

MC: Merry Christmas to all!

Georgethe: And to all a good night, and a Happy New Year!
