The snowmobile led the magic train through the snow covered town, helping it see its way through the blinding flurries. Each inhabitant and their families were dropped off at their homes. The last stop being Hawthorne Apartments. Alice and Harold gave Balan one last goodbye before retreating into the apartments. Leo smiled at Balan before he followed after his parents.

When the three of them walked inside, they spotted the 3 dolls that looked like them. Leo gave a weirded look at them as his doll had a cheerful smile. "They must have appeared when Balan used his first mode of "transport"." Harold told him. Leo shrugged his shoulders before letting out another yawn. "Well, on the bright side, the snow should let up tomorrow, just in time for the Christmas Tree lighting!" Alice told him.

Leo gave a smile. One of Timeville's grand Christmas traditions was to light the skyscraper tall, tree in the middle of town, and usually one lucky person got to light it with the mayor of Timeville. Just then, the phone rang and Alice picked it up "Hello?" She asked "Hello there! Is Leo there?" Asked Kaylo's voice "Leo, It's for you." Alice said, handing the phone to her son.

"Hello?" He asked "Hey Leo! Guess what! I'm gonna be helping the Mayor light the tree!!" Kaylo's voice squealed excitedly over the phone. Leo's eyes widened "Wow! That's great! Congratulations Kaylo!" He said. "I know!! I was so surprised too!" She squealed "I wanna be ready to light it up, so I'll see you tomorrow!" She said before the line went dead.

Leo chuckled at her enthusiasm before he went up to bed, retiring for the night.

The Next Day...

The entire town crowded around the fully decorated Timeville Chistmas tree, ready to see the grand lighting. "Welcome Welcome everyone!! And Happy Holidays!" Mayor Cynthia Glenn yelled out to the cheering crowds "Thank You! Thank you!" She said excitedly, Bowing in front of everyone. The crowds began to quiet down as she continued

"As you all know, We've celebrated the holidays for many many years now. We all have our different traditions, our ways of celebrating the holidays, but one thing remains certain, Even if we're all different, we all are together, one voice, and one heart. And with that said, It's Time to light our own beating of love, hope, and merriment!" She said. The crowds cheered again as the mayor got excited "And now, pleas welcome to the stage, this years lucky light lumineer, Miss Kalliope Bruno!" She said.

Kaylo walked onto the stage, humbly nodding as her family cheered loudly for her "THATS MY NIECE!!" Cherry Bruno cheered out. Kaylo let out a giggle out the cheer before she stood next to the mayor. "Thank you! It is an honor to be standing here today for this joyous occasion! But...I must admit, I feel that there are some that deserve to be up here too." She said.

The crowd whispered at the remark, what did the Bruno child mean? "Mrs Mayor? Can my friends help me set on the lights?" She asked. "Well...I don't see why not!" The mayor said cheerfully at the question. "Thank you! Leo! Emma! Mei! Rebecca! Trisha Jane! C'mon you guys!" She squealed. The crowd cheered at the new guest making their way up onto the stage, all excited to light up the holidays.

"Thank you all for joining us today on this most joyous holiday season! Are ya ready to light up the night? She asked. The kids nodded as Cynthia brought out a large, red and white striped lever. "OK, On 3, we flip this switch!" She said. The 6 kids placed their hands on the lever as the entire town counted down:"

3!...

2...

1...

LIGHT IT UP!!!"

The Children pulled on the lever and the tree began to light up like a beacon, with the star on top shining the brightest of all. The entire town looked on in awe before bursting into cheers again. Mayor Cynthia shook the hands of the kids "Oh thank you all for joining us today! And happy holidays to everyone!!" She cheered to the citizens. The children smiled as they looked up at the glimmering tree as a small band played "Oh Christmas Tree". It almost seemed like this holiday couldn't get to be any-

"HOLD EVERYTHING!!"
