The holidays were never something that Snufkin ever brother to pay much attention to. So for the Winter Holiday, he was alone doing his yearly wandering. However, when he stayed in Moominvalley from Spring until fall, Snufkin would try to at leach give the Moomin Family greeting for a holiday may be a gifted or two he could get enough fish.
Then he Leard about his family. During one of his stories, MoominPapa told Snufkin about The Joxter, his Papa, and Little My was his older sister, meaning that Mymblemama was also his Mama.
Looking back, Snufkin had a few small memories of his family from when he was a kit. He remembered being carried around by someone listening to them sing to him, who he now knew was Joxer. Also, Snufkin could recall being put in a basket by the Mymble when he was a small baby. During the Day, Mymble would take the rest of her children out to the garden, and Mymble used to keep him in a basket, with him being a little bit smaller than the rest of his older brothers and sisters.
When Joxer came back to Moomin valley, he told Snufkin how one day in the spring, a few days before he was set to arrive back at their house.
Suddenly, a quite nasty storm during the haste of trying to get the rest of his children inside. She forgot about baby Snufkin napping in his basket. The storm pushed the basket to the nearby river carrying him away from his family. One the Strom cleared the Searched with Joxter trying to follow the river to see where Snufkin ended up.
It a been a year since Snufkin had been reuniting with his father and got to reintroduce himself to Mymble not as Little My friends but as her youngest child.
Spring in MoominValley was in full swing, which meant mothers day was near. Usually, Snufkin would spend his day fishing, and if he could catch a fish that he deemed better the rest, he would give it to Mooimmama. Joxer explained to him it was Mumrik thing to give someone you love an item that they caught.
This Mothers day, Snufkin wanted to give a gift for Mymble, but for some reason, he felt like a fish just wouldn't do.
"Moomin, what do you do for Moominmama for Mother's day," Snufkin Asked as the two friends were sitting near the bridge fishing.
"Oh well, I usually cook her a breakfast in bed with the Help of Papa, and then later I get her some flowers", Moomin replied. "Are you planning to get something for your Mom this year?"
"Yes, I thought I should get my Mama this year", Snufkin answered.
"Well, I'm sure Mymblemama will love whatever you get her", Moomin Complimented. He had been friends with Snufkin for some years, and he was very aware of how special it was to get a give from him.
Later in the afternoon, Snufkin had decided to walk by himself throughout the woods to think about some more gifted ideas. He already asked the rest of his friends want they do.
Snorkmaiden and her brother didn't celebrate mothers day. When and he asked Little My, her answers were to just put her name on whatever Mymble jr did. Sniff told him that he was planning to get Mom a special button. In some way, he and Sniff were in the same situation as they had both only recently meant their parents against.
"You know, Little wildling, if you keep making that face, it may get stuck", Joxter Qupid. Snufkin looked up to see his father come down from the tree that he was sleeping.
"I'm not sure where your information from, Papa, but I think that is incorrect", Snufkin replied smiling.
Joxer quickly came up to his kit, hugging him well nuzzle his nose into Snufkin hair, Before pulling away to blink at his child slowly. It was a mumrik way if tell someone that you love them. "Now in all My kit, what are you making that face for?" Joxer asked.
"I'm trying to think of something to get Mama for mother's day", Snufkin explained to his father.
Joxter sat down bring Snufkin into his lap. Slowly he let his sandpaper tongue dart around Snufkin hair to try and groom Snufkin. "My dear Mymble would love anything you give her as long as it truly from you."
"I think I got it now", Snufkin Exclaimed. Then, getting up from his Papa lap, Snufkin heads deeper into the woods to work on his present. Meanwhile, The Joxter went back to his nap.
"Oh, Good, you are here", Mymble Jr Acknowledged seeing Snufkin and Little My walk through the front door. "We were just about to have breakfast. Can you help get the sibling ready" She asked?
Despite being the youngest, Snufkin was considered one of the most mature out of most of their siblings. For Mother's day, the Mymble family had a tradition of eating breakfast outside.
After breakfast, Little My explained to Snufkin how gift-giving worked. First, Mymble would sit on a chair in their front yard, then going from oldest to youngest, each one of them gives her their present.
First up was Mymble Jr, with little My having put her name on whatever Junoir had got their mother. It was a simple necklace with a ruby pendant in the middle.
Following that one, each of the Mymble children presents their mother wants the got here for Mother's Day until it was Snufkin turn.
"I would like to Present you The Mymble Tune", Snufkin Declared, bring his harmonica up to his mouth to play his new tune.
Snufkin tune was a bit like his mother. As it was Happy with many tunes playing together in an almost chaotic way, we'll still be upbeat and happy. Once he was done looking at his mother face, Snufkin panicked a little bit. "Did you like it, Mama?" Snufkin asked.
"I loved it, Kitten." Mymble smiled. "Come over here."
Coming over to his mother, she quickly pulled Snufkin into her lap. Mymble took the change to some she knew always worked on his papa. She took one of her hand to scratch under Snufkin, causing him to start Purring.
"I would love anything from You, My little Kitty. I'm just happy you're here again," Mymble said softly as Snufkin fell asleep in her arms but not before leaving with one thing.
"I love you, Mama."
