The next day the demigods woke up at 6am. Their hair looked like rat nests and they were still in their sleeping t-shirts and pants.
"Hey dad what's up?" Percy asked
"Percy did a rat sleep in your head last night?" Triton teased
"Haha, your hair isn't better." Percy grinned
Triton stuck his tongue out at Percy.
"I'm good Perce, you should get ready." Poseidon said
Percy nodded.
"Dad wake up!" Nico yelled jumping on the bed.
"Let me sleep Nico." Hades said
"It's Christmas eve. Wake up." Nico jumped
"Uhh huhh.' Hades groaned, covering his face with a pillow.
"Damn it dad, wake up." Nico snapped
Hades groaned and woke up.
Nico smirked.
"Hey guys." Apollo said bursting into his kids' room.
"Hey dad." Will said
"Morning." Michael grinned
"What's up?" Lee grinned
Apollo grinned.
"Ah, typical." He said
Everybody met in the throne room at 7am.
Suddenly there was a flash of light and there stood… Tyson
"TYSON!" The Greek demigods yelled and engulfed him into a hug.
"Hello everybody. Fates said you were reading books and will celebrate Christmas." Tyson said
Everybody nodded and Tyson noticed Poseidon.
"DADDY!" he yelled and jumped on Poseidon.
Poseidon moved 10 steps and hugged Tyson back.
Everybody chuckled.
"You know I want to try that too." Nico and Will said
"Me too." Percy grinned
"Ready?" Will asked
Apollo, Poseidon and Hades were very confused and had only a minute to think before their kids came running and jumped on them.
"DADDY!" they yelled and he force was so much that the gods fell down on the snow.
The three demigods high-fived.
Everybody laughed or cheered.
"Guys we have to pack our gifts today." Annabeth said
Everybody nodded.
"Could you guys get off us now, I'm freezing on the snow." Apollo said
The three demigods laughed and got up.
The gods brushed the snow off.
"How did you guys get so much drachma though?" Hermes asked
"Skills." The demigods winked.
Hermes grinned proudly.
"Ah my students." He said, wiping a fake tear
Everybody burst out laughing.
"We can do it in our rooms." Artemis suggested
"Alright." Everybody grinned
They all went to their rooms where the gifts were already there.
They all packed their gifts and wrote their notes.
All the Greek demigods who had met Sally wrapped her gift as well and so did Poseidon.
"Hey I'm done." Percy said, coming out of his room.
"How the heck do you do this?" Triton asked, his hands covered in small pieces of tape
Percy chuckled.
"Mom taught me."
"I can teach you if you want." He added
"Please." Triton requested
Percy jumped on his bed.
"So let's take this, I'm guessing this is for your mother." Percy said
Triton nodded.
"So you keep the gift on the sheet like this and put the wrapping paper like this." Percy said, showing Triton
Triton nodded and stared at the neatly packaged gift in front of him.
"Wow." He said
Percy chuckled again.
A similar situation was going on in the Hades and Zeus quarters. Nobody else had any problems as they all knew how to wrap gifts though they had never celebrated Christmas before. Ares was glad he learnt about packing gifts from Aphrodite.
"How in gods' name do you do this?" Hades asked, throwing his hands up.
"It's very easy." Nico said
Hades raised an eyebrow.
"Look I can help." Nico suggested
Hades nodded.
"Who's this for?" Nico asked
"Persephone." Hades said
Nico nodded.
He gave his father the instructions of how to wrap a gift. After ten minutes, Hades had successfully wrapped gift number one.
"Thalia, Jason do you know how to wrap gifts?" Zeus asked, exasperatedly
"Yeah." They said
"Let me guess you need help." Thalia grinned
Zeus nodded.
"It's fairly easy." Jason said, showing his father how to wrap a gift.
"Or you can put it in a good paper bag." Thalia shrugged
"Or that." Jason grinned
After wrapping everybody came out with their gifts and took one look at Hades, Zeus and Triton and chuckled.
"You have tape in your hair." Poseidon told Hades and Zeus
"What?" they asked
"You have tape in your hair." Poseidon repeated
"Where?" they asked, feeling their hair
Thalia and Nico crept up behind them and pulled it off.
"Ouch." The gods said
The two demigods held up the tape and Poseidon roared with laughter.
Hades and Zeus glared at him.
"Thanks for helping me the get the tape out of my hands." Triton muttered to Percy who stifled his laugh
"No problem." Percy said
"Tyson, looking good." Percy told him
Tyson grinned.
He was wearing a reindeer sweatshirt and green jammies.
"Hey um we wanted to send these to Aunt Sally, where do we keep it?" Nico asked
Percy grinned widely.
"I don't know either." Poseidon said
Then a note appeared in his hand.
Keep the gifts near the tree itself.
The Fates
"Right okay." Thalia said
They kept all of their gifts near the tree, and it was overflowing with gifts.
Percy and Nico snuck to Hephaestus' corner.
"Hey guys, I'm almost done, Hestia just needs to add the magic. Once that's done, I'll pack the machine in the boxes and get it wrapped." Hephaestus said
The two demigods grinned.
They shared a glance and said-
"We need to write notes too, so could you give them to us?" Percy asked
"I'll do that." Hephaestus smiled.
"What do we today?" Hermes asked
"Gingerbread house and cookies." The demigods grinned.
"Ingredients?" Amphitrite asked
"Oh don't worry about that, we bought them." Annabeth smiled
"To the kitchen." Nico said
"But there are so many of us." Leo said
"Multiple kitchens." Annabeth smirked
"Nice." Leo grinned
The gods followed their children to the respective kitchens.
Hephaestus and Athena groups in one, Poseidon and Hades groups in another, Hunters and Apollo in one, Hermes and Dionysus in another, Ares and Demeter, Hestia, Hera and Chiron, Aphrodite and Zeus in the last one.
The demigods told the gods the basics and started with the cookies.
HEPHAESTUS AND ATHENA
"So first we need flour." Annabeth said
"Then we need a little salt." Leo said
"Unsalted butter." Beckendorf grinned
The gods looked at their children and grabbed what they were saying.
They mixed it in with the help of the demigods and then the demigods told them the rest of the ingredients.
The people of the Hestia, Hera and Chiron group made cookies with Hera telling the ingredients.
ARES AND DEMETER
"We definitely need cereal." Demeter said
"No mother." Katie sighed.
"But-."
"No mother." Katie sighed for the millionth time.
Ares was getting impatient.
"Can we start?" he asked
Katie nodded.
She read off the ingredients with Frank and they started with the cookies.
HERMES AND DIONYSUS
"So, I think we need flour first." Travis said
"Then we need salt." Connor and Luke said
"Unsalted butter next." Castor and Pollux said
They told everybody the other ingredients and Dakota and Grover grabbed them and gave them to Dionysus and Hermes.
APOLLO AND THE HUNTERS
"Sally Jackson's cookies are the best." Apollo said dreamily
"Oh we know very well." Thalia grinned
"But we have to make our own right now, the only one who can make similar cookies is Percy." She added
"Flour first." Will pointed to the flour
Apollo pulled it out.
"Salt next." Zoe said
Artemis pulled it out this time.
"Unsalted butter next." Lee and Michael said
Apollo took it from the container and they pulled out a few more ingredients for the cookies and got started.
APHRODITE AND ZEUS
Zeus had no idea what to do so Aphrodite, Jason and Aphrodite's kids helped him out.
They grabbed the ingredients and mixed everything.
By the time they were done, Zeus was covered in chocolate and a little flour.
POSEIDON AND HADES
"Dad grab the dam flour." Percy said
Poseidon chuckled and grabbed it.
Percy was jumping around telling the ingredients.
"He loves cookies." Nico said
"Salt, Unsalted butter, powdered sugar." Percy rapped
Everybody looked at him.
"I would suggest you grab everything." Nico said
The gods hurried up and grabbed everything.
"What about blue food dye?" Percy asked
"No Percy." Nico said
"Please." Percy said with baby seal eyes
"No." Nico said
Percy pouted.
"Dad grab the chocolate." Nico sighed to his dad
Hades nodded and took the chocolate.
"Let's chop the chocolate now." Nico said, grabbing a knife
He cut the chocolate with such skill that everybody was looking at him.
"You're good at cutting chocolate son." Hades said
"Yeah, he's great at it." Hazel smiled
"Thank you." Nico grinned
"Persephone can you warm it?" Hazel asked Persephone
Persephone nodded.
She warmed the chocolate while Hazel kept the cookies in the oven.
Once they were done, everybody dipped the cookies in the chocolate.
The gods were covered in chocolate except Amphitrite as she often made cookies but never made shortbreads.
The demigods were completely clean and were licking off their fingers.
"Good job guys." Hazel told everybody
"Mind blowing." Nico grinned
"Proud of you." Percy grinned
Everybody chuckled.
"Seeing the gods in aprons should be on everybody's bucket list." Nico grinned
"Oh I'm checking it." Percy grinned
"Let's go out now, we have to do the gingerbread house with everybody." Percy said
When they went out they saw that all the gods were covered in chocolate and the demigods were completely clean.
"Let's get started with the gingerbread house." Annabeth grinned
Everybody sat down and a few demigods brought the gingerbread house ingredients.
The gods and demigods arranged the gingerbread house and also added a few candy canes.
They made a few ginger people and put them too.
The gods were quite surprised by the demigods' talent in all of this but soon they also understood how to do it with their childrens' help.
The gods were glad that their children were very patient with them, there was some light teasing but it was hilarious.
After they finished, the already chocolate covered gods were covered in icing.
The demigods also had some icing on them but it was nothing compared to the gods.
They all went and quickly took showers.
"That was a lot of fun." The gods said
"See, told you so." The demigods grinned
"Let's have some cookies and light a fire." Hazel smiled
They all nodded and grinned.
"I'm super excited to see everybody open their gifts." Leo grinned
"Yeah, but let's not burn the place down." Piper laughed
Leo pouted but he was grinning.
"Hey Percy and Nico, I need a word." Beckendorf and Hephaestus said
The two smiled and nodded.
They got up and went to Hephaestus.
"The machines are done. I've packed them and all. You can pick them up from my quarters and don't worry, they're very light." Hephaestus smiled
Nico and Percy nodded and grinned.
After some time, they went to Hephaestus' quarters to get the machines.
Hephaestus quickly showed them the machines and they grinned at them.
"Thank you so much." Nico and Percy bowed
"There' no need to." Hephaestus grinned
"I don't mind a bow." Leo snickered
Nico and Percy chuckled.
They took the machines which were very light like Hephaestus said and Nico shadow travelled Percy to his room and then shadow travelled to his own room in his dad's quarters.
The machines were already wrapped in sea green and black respectively so the two demigods just wrote their notes that they had discussed and put the gifts under the tree.
They joined everybody by the fire.
They all stayed there for some time then went to sleep in their quarters.
The demigods woke up their parents at 6am in the morning.
"Wake up. Wake up." They yelled
Leo went to center of Olympus, took a megaphone and yelled-\
'WAKE UP EVERYBODY. IT'S CHRISTMAS!"
All the gods shot up like they were shot from a cannon.
The demigods laughed and hugged their parents.
"Merry Christmas." They said
The gods chuckled and wished the same.
They all dressed in sweaters and Santa hats.
The demigods rushed outside and jumped on each other.
"Merry Christmas Seaweed Brain." Annabeth kissed Percy on the cheek to avoid too much PDA
"Merry Christmas Wise Girl." Percy blushed and smiled
"Merry Christmas Kelp Head and Death Breath." Thalia shouted
"Merry Christmas Pinecone face." Nico and Percy yelled
Travis and Connor shot balls of snow in the air.
Everybody cheered.
They all hugged their uncles/aunts.
"Merry Christmas Aunt Hestia." Percy, Nico, Thalia, Hazel and Jason said, hugging Hestia.
"Merry Christmas." Hestia smiled.
"Merry Christmas uncle." Percy said hugging Hades
"Merry Christmas nephew." Hades smiled
Same with Nico, Hazel and Poseidon
"Merry Christmas." Percy said to Zeus
"Merry Christmas." Zeus said
"Merry Christmas uncles." Thalia and Jason shouted
They yelled their Merry Christmas too.
"Merry Christmas Uncle/ Brother-in- Law. You know what, I don't want to think about it." Katie said to Hades
Hades chuckled.
"Merry Christmas Katie."
Once everybody was done wishing everybody they went to the tree for gifts.
"GIFTS!" Travis, Connor and Leo yelled.
"Hey look the gifts to Aunt Sally and Paul are gone." Percy said
"The Fates delivered them." Triton smiled, putting a hand on Percy's shoulder.
"Hey delivery is my thing." Hermes tried pouting but he was laughing too much.
"Chiron open first." Percy grinned
Chiron smiled and noticed that he received gifts from all his students, Dionysus, Apollo, Hermes, Poseidon and Hestia.
His gifts were-

"I love them." He said
Everybody grinned.
"Aunt Hestia next." Nico grinned
Hestia opened her gifts, she had received gifts from everybody.
She had gotten chocolates, desserts everybody made on their own, a gown and a fire necklace. She got a gift from everybody and she loved them all.
"They're amazing." She said
Everybody grinned again.

"So first how did you all like your gifts?" Thalia asked the gods
"They were awesome."
"I loved them."
"Lit."
"Beautiful."
"Thoughtful."
The demigods grinned really wide.
"Now for the two big gifts." Nico grinned
He gave the black one to his dad and Percy gave the sea green one to his.
"Open them in 3..2..1.. NOW!" Nico counted
The two gods opened their boxes and there were the… machines!
The two demigods helped their parents take it out of the boxes.
"Wait these are those machines?" Poseidon asked with wide eyes.
"Yeah, thank Hephaestus." Nico and Percy grinned
"What are those machines?" Persephone asked
"It'll be explained in the notes." Percy said
Persephone nodded.
Poseidon swallowed and read his note.
Hades swallowed and read his note.
Percy and Nico swallowed too.
When the two god finished the note after 5 minutes, they were practically trying to keep the tears in.
They went and hugged their kids who hugged them back.
"What did the notes say?" Triton asked
Poseidon read his out first.
'Hey dad, Merry Christmas
It's me Percy but I know you knew that. I hope you like this gift and it helps you guys out in the pollution. Do you remember the day you asked me why I wanted to do any of this for you and told you because I love you and I want to help, well every single word was true. When Hephaestus told me and Nico that he would ready the machines by Christmas, we decided to tell you how we really feel. Though during my first quest I was a little upset about mom, you still helped me a lot, without you we couldn't have succeeded. Then during the second quest you gave me Tyson and though it was a rocky start, the ship sailed extremely smooth. You saved my life a hundred times on my quests and at the point, I never noticed. I can't tell much of this part without giving spoilers so I'm going to make it brief, you gave me one of the best birthday presents ever. You may not be allowed to interfere much but you did the best you could. The reason I want to help you is because I love you a lot and I also love Triton and Amphitrite but right now I'm talking about you. Cue the chuckles from my side. My fatal law as Athena said is Personal Loyalty and if I know that you are in trouble, then as long as I live, I will never sit back and watch, I will always be there to help you, just the way you helped me on my quests. My wish is that if anything is wrong, I want you to tell me.
Love
Percy'
Poseidon was in tears again as he read the note.
A few other gods had tears in their eyes too at the emotion in the note. Hestia had a watery smile and Chiron had a proud one.
Nico flashed Percy a thumbs up and the sea gang gave Percy a bone-crushing hug.
"I think I know where Tyson gets it from now." Percy choked
Everybody chuckled.
"And what about you Uncle H?" Hermes asked
"You know Hermes, I just realized, you're our Uncle H." Castor grinned
"And ours." Will added
Hermes chuckled.
"Let's just stick with Hermes."
"Yeah what did Nico right?" Apollo asked
Nico blushed.
Percy slung an arm on his cousin's shoulders.
Hades read his note out.
'Wassup Dad,
Yeah it's me Nico, looks weird seeing wassup right? Yeah I feel weird writing it too. Merry Christmas between. Here's the machine for the pollution. Yes we figured out away for even the Styx pollution. Now you must be wondering why I'm writing a note to you when we already talked about the machines but the thing is that sometimes a few words just get stuck in your throat, no matter how much you want them to come out so it's easier to put it in a note. When Hephaestus started the machines, he said he'd give it to us by Christmas and me and Percy immediately decided to write the notes and give it to you guys as we both had some un-said emotions. So here's why I wanted a machine to be made too. You see even we got off to a rocky start but we finally made through during the second war. Even if we got off to a rocky start, you never stopped me from staying in the Underworld, instead you invited me as I had no home, and you even let me train with the dead. You also gave me my sword and my chauffer. If I did something wrong, you always corrected me. During the second war, you guided me as much as I could. Importantly, you listened to me though it took time but still… I know we may not have the best relationship at first but I feel we are doing way better now. I'm super glad to spend time with you now and I'm still alive after the Hades and Persephone chapters in the Greek gods books. I wanted to tell you that I do love you and I don't want you think otherwise and I don't want to lose you due to some stuff called pollution. I figured this all out at the campfire. It's quite surprising how so many thoughts at one second and they're all true. When I figured that the Styx pollution would affect you, I really panicked but it didn't show. Me and Percy talked one day and we both freaked out really bad. So yeah, this is the reason why I want to be there for you as long as I'm alive but I hope I don't get turned into dandelions so please do talk to your wife about it but I guess that's what I'll miss when I grow up more so you know never mind.
Love,
Nico'
Hades had started choking up in the middle of the note but by the end of it, he was int ears. He hugged his son again.
"I… can't…breathe." Nico choked
Hades pulled back and chuckled.
The other demigods and gods were very touched too.
"Hey now what about the demigods' gifts huh?" Hermes asked
"Yeah!" Percy cheered

"There' going to be so much pranking now." Katie said
"Ah." Percy said
Everybody chuckled.

"We have to make the gods celebrate that too." Leo laughed
They all chuckled.
They all lit a campfire, had some cookies and sang Christmas songs.

The gods all smiled at their sleeping children, thinking that this was the most fun they had in a lot of time.
Guys I can't write the whole paragraphs of the story because it might lead to copyright issues.. Sorry!
