Thanks for the requests *note sarcasm*. I had to go ask my friends for some ideas. I guess I have myself to blame for having no ideas. And I did Christmas because of North. If you celebrate something else, then you do not, I repeat DO NOT have to read this.

Christmas. In Jack's opinion, it wasn't as good as Easter, but he was NEVER going to tell Bunny that. He had a big enough ego as it was. Still, Christmas was fun. Jack loved seeing North's sleigh every year pass by. But since Jack almost always got on the Naughty list, he never got presents. From anyone.
This was his first Christmas as a Guardian. Tooth had told him they would help North with last minute packaging and then wait until tomorrow night (December 25th) to open gifts. They would, however, get to open one present before North left.
Tooth had said all this at the last Guardian meeting (which were now monthly things). When she did, Jack's mouth had involuntarily dropped, and he'd said without thinking:
"Present? I get a present?"
Which resulted in tons of questioning that made the Winter spirit uncomfortable. The others soon discovered Jack hadn't received a gift since he was mortal. This caused much sadness and guilt among the older Guardians, even when Jack tried to console them.
Jack felt bad that they felt bad, but figured after Christmas, everything would be fine. So he decided to focus on making gifts. Jack found a store that had a box of miscellaneous stuff they were giving away, and in the box, there was some turquoise carole feathers and a gold chain. He made a beautiful necklace, for Tooth of course.
For Sandy, he filed a bottle with rare seashells and white sand, made up of gypsum grains, which were also rare.
For North, he found a snowman Chinese nesting doll collection. The very inside doll was a tiny Santa, looking nothing at all like North, looking more like the typical Santa Claus children took him as.
For Bunny, Jack had no clue what to get the overgrown rabbit. He knew eggs and chocolate were overdone. Then he had it, the perfect idea! If Bunny hated it….Jack wouldn't think about that right now. Jack started working on it, barely finishing in time.
Christmas Eve came and all the Guardians helped North put the gifts in his magical sack and hoisted it onto the sleigh. Then North went from house to house, delivering gifts to every (nice) child in the world. *That apparently doesn't include ME! ;'(*
Then on Christmas Day, North slept while the other Guardians celebrated and congratulated the yetis for their hard work. And finally, FINALLY, it was time for the Guardians to celebrate.
Everyone gathered around the tree. The presents were all wrapped in colors describing whoever they were gifted to. Red and white for North. Blue and silver for Jack. Green and pale yellow for Bunny. Pink and purple for Tooth. And gold and orange for Sandy.
"Is time for presents! Jack, as youngest, you go first, no?" North shoved Jack's pile towards him and Jack smiled. He started gently tearing away the paper, unlike most children, who would just shred the paper away without a second thought. Tooth shook her head at the boy's thoughtfulness and grinned when he opened the box.
The first present was from Sandy, and it was what he always got the Guardians: a cotton bag the color of the the night sky filled with dream-sand. Jack thanked him thoroughly before continuing. Tooth had gotten him and the others transparent toothbrushes with mini tubes of toothpaste. Jack rolled his eyes before opening North's.
Inside was a blue snow-globe, with images of children playing and chanting the words "Jack Frost" if you pressed a button. Jack smiled softly and accepted the death-hug from the bearded man. Lastly was Bunny's. He looked at the Pooka with a smirk.
"If something springs out at me…." Jack let his words end, seeing the Pooka's flash of terror before he composed himself.
"If I was gonna' prank ya', I'd 'ave done it sooner," Bunny huffed. Jack shrugged before opening the gift. Inside was a key. Kind of. It was shaped like an Easter egg, different shades of blue and white and silver. It had a string attached that was as blue as his hoodie. Jack looked questioningly at Bunny who squirmed before explaining.
"It's a key to the Warren, mate. If you need help or somethin', just have to be wearin' it and tap your foot to the ground and ya're in. Mind, I'll know if ya decide to pop by, so don't even think of pranking my googies!" Bunny exclaimed. But Jack could tell what the key really meant. It meant that Bunny trusted him and that was the best gift he could ever ask for. It meant he was forgiven for '68 and the Pitch-y Easter.
Now he only hoped the Guardians would love his gifts.
A/N: And….wait until part 2! BTW, what should Jack get Bunny? Kitkat Out! P.S. Until someone tells me what Jack should get Bunny…..I will NOT do a ROTG Christmas: Part 2.
