Snow fell on Christmas morning in Calvin's new house. Jason and Marcus camped out in the tree. "I wish we could live in here," said Jason, resting on a reindeer ointment. "It's so tinsel-y.:

"Yeah, but I'd keep bumping into ointments and we'd lose all of the Quincy's in the pine needles," Marcus pointed out.

Jason looked up when he heard footsteps coming down the stairs. "Hey, look! Calvin's coming downstairs! He'll be opening these babies within seconds!"

Up in Calvin's new bedroom, the toys eagerly listened. "I will be a good boy this time, Eddy," smiled Ed.

"I know you will. And just to be sure..." Eddy grinned, as he finished tying Ed to a toy chair. "There! Now we won't have any problems with the baby monitor!"

Hobbes, Mario, and Nazz sit nearby on Calvin's bed. "This has turned out to be a good house," said Mario.

"Probably nicer than the other planets you've been to," joked Hobbes.

"Hey!"

Nazz laughed. "Relax, guys, it's Christmas!"

Eddy was walking away when Cojammer dropped down and stole his eyes. "I love Christmas pranks!" cackled the monkey.

"Get back here!" Eddy blindly ran into the table holding up the monitor, knocking it off. The batteries came out yet again.

"Just look what you did!" Cojammer stuck Eddy's eyes back in. "DORK!" he and Kevin chorused.

Edd sighed and put the batteries back in. "Some things never change, I suppose." He looked up to see Mario and Hobbes together. "But, then again, some things do."

"Is it normal to feel nervous during these gatherings?" asked Mario.

"Yeah," said Hobbes, "but don't be scared. What could Calvin possibly get that's worse than you?"

"Wow!" cried Calvin's voice from the baby monitor. "A Luigi action figure!"

Hobbes and Mario rolled their eyes. Everyone turned to Snoopy. "Did you expect a puppy?" asked the beagle. "What kind of writer do you think I am! That's all, folks!"

There you have it. Just to remind everyone, this is all Snoopy's work of fiction. I actually found it a little annoying to write, as it kept getting to close to the original script. Still, it had its' moments.
