December 1st
"Grandpa, there aren't many Christmas lights up," a young boy about the age of four commented to his grandfather as they walked down the street, a Dark Magician plushie clutched tightly in one arm. He possessed a wild crown of black hair tipped with red and crowned with golden bangs. Wide, amethyst eyes scanned the streets, searching for the lovely rainbow lights that trimmed the edge of the buildings. There was a server lack of them and his eyes began to dim with disappointment.
His grandfather merely laughed. "Yugi, it's only the first of December!" he chuckled and looked down at his tiny grandson. "There will be plenty more as the month continues, you'll see."
Yugi looked up at him. "You promise?" he asked, biting down on one lip.
"Cross my heart," his grandfather nodded, giving the tiny hand in his a reassuring squeeze.
A bright grin stole across the kid's face. "Okay then," he nodded. He walked the rest of the way home with a small on his face and gleam in his eye.

"Yugi, time for bed!" Grandpa announced.
"Okay," Yugi obediently cleaned up his toys before gathering up his Dark Magician. He raced over to the stairs, little feet flopping around in fuzzy slippers. The boy stopped at the sight of a brown cardboard box with a scribbled in label reading "CHRISTMAS". Yugi paused for a moment.
"Grandpa!" he called.
"What is it?" came the reply from another room.
"Can we put up the Christmas decorations yet?"
A sigh.
"Maybe tomorrow, okay, Yugi?"
A slight pout came across Yugi's face before he decided that this was acceptable. He turned back up and made his way up the stairs. Or at least three of them before he paused again.
"Grandpa!"
"What is it?"
"I get to put up the angel on the tree okay!"
Another sigh.
"We'll see, Yugi. Now go to bed!"
"Okay."
Once more, the small legs made their way up the stairs. Then another thought struck Yugi's mind. He paused on stair number seven.
"Grandpa!"
There came a sigh.
"What is it?"
"Is there a way we can get a real angel to come visit us for Christmas?"
A stifled groan.
"Yugi, go to bed."
"Is there a way?"
"Maybe," there was a pause. "You should write a letter or something. Then maybe one will come. Now go to bed."
"A letter," Yugi whispered. "Hmm." He thought about it. Perhaps he should write a letter. Then he nodded his head. Yes, that would work just fine.
"Okay!" he finally called back to his grandfather. "Thanks! Goodnight!"
"Goodnight! I'll be up there in a few minutes, okay?"
"Alright!"
And with that Yugi bounded up the rest of the stairs, picturing in his mind where he could fetch a piece of paper and pencil.

Looking proudly down at his handiwork, Yugi folded it up and placed it in the envelope he had managed to find. Then he peeled off one stamp and placed it, as best as he could, in the top right hand corner of the envelope. Then, after some more careful consideration, he took off the rest and did the same thing. After all, it was a pretty long way to heaven. It might be a good idea to put plenty of postage to make sure it got there. With the Dark Magician still clutched in one arm, he placed the envelope under his pillow so that he would remember to place it in the mail then next morning. Then, he snuggled into the covers and drifted off to sleep, dreaming of the day his Christmas Angel would come to visit.

Okay, I know it's short, but I'm kind of short on time. Also, just a bit of FYI, I am planning on updating "The Past Is Present". I just haven't got around to it. So, just a quick "SORRY!" to any of my readers. I'm going as fast as I can! Until next time, C'ya!
