Disclaimer: Despite all those threat letters I sent to Disney, I still don't own Lizzie. Or at least, not yet! : ) JUST KIDDING! But I don't own Lizzie McGuire.

FUNNY STORY! There's this smart girl with blonde hair, and although I don't use the words punk, prep, skater boy/girl, and especially poser (because it's a dumb word. We're all posers if we get our pictures taken. I know that it's a different meaning, but still. It's a stupid word.) she can only be described as a prep. She wears ironed khakis and gray vests over her shirts everyday that she's not wearing one of her news anchor lady type suits. She was talking to her friend and she was like "Wow Hannah. That is really off of the heezy, for sheezy." And said it like that, in a stiff, formal sort of way like the news anchors talk. I cracked up laughing.

If anyone saw the chapter of this story up here that was in Miranda's POV, that was a mistake, and I deleted it as soon as I could. If you didn't see it, good. It wasn't meant to be put up here.

If anyone has a problem with me them y'all even though they're in California, take a hike. . . right off a cliff! : )

sup3r-manz-gurli: thanx!

Gordo sat on the couch in his living room and watched in amusement as his parents sang Christmas carols. He would have joined in, but he was really tired. Ever since Late November, when Hanukkah had begun, he had been tired. His parents insist on celebrating Hanukkah and Christmas since Gordo is half Jewish and half Christian. He liked all the presents he got, but frankly he thought he saw too many aunts he never knew he had who loved to give him big kisses and pinch his cheeks like he was a doll.

"Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to sayyyyyyyy.. .. .." his mom wailed.

"Rudolph with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh to night?" Mr. Gordon finished.

Gordo's mind drifted to yesterday, Christmas Eve, when he, Lizzie, Miranda, and Britt had exchanged gifts.

~~FLASHBACK~~

"Ooh! Gordo! It's beautiful!" Lizzie squealed as she hugged Gordo. "Here, put it on for me!"

He stood up and Lizzie handed him the necklace. It was beautiful; it was a silver necklace with a wonderful silver dolphin on the chain. It was silver, with a blue crystal in the dolphin's mouth.

Lizzie held up her hair and Gordo stood behind her and fastened the necklace. She turned around to face him, grinning.

"How do I look?" she asked.

"Great!" Gordo said, and he really meant it.

"Okay, Britt, open mine!" Miranda said as she slid Britt a large box that held her present. Britt was big.

"Oh yeah, Britt?" Lizzie asked.

"Huh?"

"What was the reason the doctor said your stomach is so big?"

"Oh," Britt said, looking embarrassed. "She said I had gas. And the heartbeat was weird. It was like, there was a copy cat heart following the first one. But it must have been the gas."

"Oh," Miranda said, stifling a giggle. "Now open my present!"

Britt tore through the paper on the large box at an amazing speed.

"Oh Miranda!" she exclaimed as she looked at the box full of bottles, diapers, and baby clothes. "How'd you get all this?"

"My uncle works for a baby company. I got a special discount!"

"Okay! Miranda, open my present to you!" Lizzie said excitedly.

"Omigosh!" Miranda opened the box. "Lizzie! How'd you know I wanted this CD! She got me the 50 Cent CD! Thank you Lizzie!"

"Here, here! Gordo, open up my gift to you!" Britt said as Miranda hugged Lizzie, and Britt handed him a box.

"Four Frank Sinatra CDs! Thanks! When you stole my CD back when you were the locker thief, I missed it!"

~~END FLASHBACK~~

"David!" his mother's sharp voice cut into his flashback. "Come sing with us!"

"Okay, Gretel." He said as he trudged over to the piano where his mom and Dad were sitting. "Hold your horses."

"Here!" Sam McGuire said as he tossed Lizzie a small package. "This is the last present under the tree, and it's for you Lizzie!"

"It's from. . .," Lizzie said as she tried to make out the messy handwriting. "You Dad!"

She ripped the wrapping paper off and threw it aside. Inside was a pretty purple message recorder.

"Thank you, Dad!" she said as she threw her arms around Sam's neck.

"Great! Now I can record all the horrible things Matt says and get him in trouble!" She said as Matt stuck his tongue out at her.

Jo had just gotten back from Barbados visiting her sick Uncle Paula 5 days ago, and she was in full Christmas Mode.

"Family picture time!" Jo voice rang out. Sam, Matt, and Lizzie all ran over to the couch to sit down. Sam was in the middle, Lizzie was on one side of him, and Matt was on the other side. Jo set the timer on the camera, and ran over to the couch and squished herself between Lizzie and Sam.

"Cheese!" Lizzie, Jo, and Sam said. Matt said 'Lizzie' in place of cheese. So what they got instead of a nice family Christmas picture was a picture of Lizzie leaning over her mom and Dad to punch Matt, Matt biting Lizzie arm, and Jo with her mouth open, yelling, and looking extremely mad.

Sam was still looking straight ahead, smiling at the camera as it went -click-.

"Feliz Navidad! Feliz Navidad! Feliz Navidad-" Miranda sang along with her cousins gathered in her cousin Lila's room. Miranda was at her Aunt Julita's house for a Christmas gathering.

She looked around the room, and her eyes landed on the tallest person in the room, Roxanna from Ireland. She was tall with long red hair, and 15. Right next to her stood Maria, aka Caballo(horse) Maria. She was mean, and the only person who she ever talked to was Ami, the small girl with brown hair and a bad acne case. Alina stood next to Miranda. She was 14 and Miranda's favorite cousin. She was from Columbia and had wavy blond hair. Miranda and Alina had gotten in trouble together countless amounts of times, and when they where younger, there parents always had to supervise them, for fear they'd break something or cause trouble with the others

Although Miranda's family wasn't just from Mexico, they also had family members from Ireland, Cuba, Columbia, Sweden, and Puerto Rico, they all celebrated Christmas the Mexican way, since that's where the majority of the family was from.

She realized she had stopped singing, and that her cousins had already started singing the song for a second time.

"Feliz Navidad, Próspero Año y Felicidad!" she began singing again. "I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas! I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas! I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas, from the bottom of my heart!!"

"Thanks Mom." Britt whispered as she hugged her mom. "For the presents. And for everything. I'm so sorry for the past few months. My grades have slipped, and I'm so sorry. I really never meant to get pregnant. I know you got pregnant when you were young, and although you love me, it was a mistake."

"You're welcome baby." Britt's mom, Scarlett, was crying. "Your grades have only gone down to Bs, and yes, I'm sorry you're pregnant too. You're going to miss out on a lot in life. I had you my senior year, and I almost missed prom. But at least the father is Danny, who obviously loves you very much. He's here everyday, and he seems to think it's alright to call the house at eleven o'clock at night."

"Yeah," Britt laughed softly. "You're right."

"And he got a job instead of trying out for the lacrosse team. Your father went off to college and I haven't seen him since. And you were NOT a mistake. I made a mistake, but it wasn't you."

"I love you mom."

"Yeah," Britt's mom said as she hugged her tight. "I love you, too."
