Epilogue

"Merry Christmas everybody!" Michelle yelled, a little too noisily. It was 6:00a.m. on Christmas morning, and she was eager to get downstairs and see what Santa brought her. Unfortunately, the rest of her family was not so eager.

"Michelle, do you have to scream so loud first thing in the morning?" Stephanie complained as she pulled back her covers. That was one thing she hated about sharing a room with Michelle – the girl was the equivalent of a human alarm clock.

"Yes." Michelle giggled, then jumped out of bed. She then ran into the hallway with her feet bare and shouted, "Wake up everyone! It's Christmas!!!" She proceeded to run down the stairs and into the living room, but stopped short when she saw what was under the tree.

The residents of the Tanner household trickled down the stairs one by one, each rubbing their eyes or whining about how the sun wasn't even up yet. They gathered about the living room, some seated on the couch while the others sat on the floor. No one seemed to notice that the reason why they were up so early was not seated among them, that is until D.J. happened to turn her head. "Michelle, what's the matter?"

Coming out of her trance, Michelle rushed past the others to the Christmas tree, where she immediately picked up the one present that she knew was for her. She hugged her new teddy bear before saying, "I can't believe it! Santa knew! This is the exact same teddy bear that I wanted!"

Danny looked at the others quizzically. "Did you…?" He smiled when everyone shook their heads "no." "I guess Santa does know everything about everyone."

"Hey, guys, look at this!" Joey called from the coffee table. "The cookies are gone, but I didn't get a chance to eat them! Oh, wait, there's a note, "Dear Joey, I would greatly appreciate it if you would stop eating the cookies that were meant for me. The ones I was able to try before you moved in were quite delicious, and I would like to have them again. Love, Santa" The others, and Joey, laughed, "I guess I'll have to find my own midnight snack from now on."

Becky quickly stifled her giggles and said, "You know, I was wondering something. How did you guys know where to find Michelle when she was lost in the mall?" She had only known where to go because she had happened to catch of glimpse of Danny, Joey, Stephanie and D.J. running like mad in a particular direction.

"It was the weirdest thing," Danny mused as he watched the girls tear open their presents. "There was this announcement, you guys probably didn't hear it. It said, 'All of those shoppers who are looking for Michelle Tanner please report to the garage on the west side.' Now that I think about it, the voice sounded a lot like Santa's."

"Then I guess we should thank Santa for more than just our presents." Jesse smiled as he grabbed a brightly wrapped box from under the tree, "Speaking of which, Steph, this one's for you. From Santa."

As it turned out, the Tanner family did have a merry Christmas, possibly the best one in years. This was because something had been restored in their hearts, something that had changed them all for the better. And that something was Christmas magic.

A/N: I know, a little corny. But I had a little trouble thinking of the last few lines, and that's what I could come up with. So, anyway, thanks for the reviews, and Happy Holidays!
