It was Christmastime in Knothole. The landscape was blanketed by a crisp, white layer of snow. The Great Oak and a few other trees were decorated with Christmas lights and other decorations. Everyone was gathered at the foot of the Great Oak, opening presents. Tails got a brand new set of power tools from Sonic.

"Thanks Sonic, you're the best!" Tails gave Sonic a big hug.

"Kids, there's nothing more cool than gettin' presents for the holidays!" said Sonic. "Well…except givin' other people presents! There's just somethin' special about the thanks ya get for a holiday present!"

Amy opened her gift from Sonic: two tickets to a Nikki Gregoroff concert.

"*GASP*…Thank you so much, Sonic!11!" Amy gave Sonic a big hug & kiss. The Blue Blur remained calm.

"…Of course, there's nothin' like givin' a special someone a gift they really want, so make sure ya get the skinny on what their interests are!"

"SONIC!" Shadow stomped his way over to Sonic. "What the hell is this!?" He held up a copy of Sonic '06 for Xbox 360.

"Hey, ya said you were interested in checkin' out my past adventures!" replied Sonic.

"Wrong answer, Faker!" Shadow took a few more steps towards Ol' Blue.

"Uh-oh! Gotta skip, Chip!" Sonic ran as fast as he could, with Shadow in hot pursuit.
