Author's Note: The team find out about Tony being Santa Jr.
Santa Jr.
Tony was grabbing his bag and made his way towards the elevators. He walked by the Christmas tree that was standing there. He had already put toys in the bin that was beside the tree. He had done it one day that he had been there at night. He smiled at the tree and the overflowing bin that was filled with toys. He pushed the elevator button and stepped into it as the doors opened. He had already his time off papers turned in and signed. He was happy that it was Christmas once again. He had always loved it when it was time for Christmas. He remembered when he was only twelve years old and he had for the first time went with his Dad as he delivered Christmas presents to houses. It was the best day of his young life and sometimes he went with him.
He went home and packed his clothes and other things and went to the North Pole where his family was already getting ready for Christmas. He grinned as his father bent over the workbench helping with one of the elves. His father straightened and looked towards his son.
"You made it." His father smiled, walked towards him and hugged his son.
"Got my time off papers signed off and everything." He hugged his father back. "I'm going to put my things in my bedroom."
His father nodded and watched as his son made his way to his room and then come back out going to the kitchen.
"Hi. Mom. I'm ready to help with the cookies."
"I'm so glad you made it once again." His Mom smiled and hugged her son.
With the cookies done and the hot chocolate already in the mugs they made their way towards the workshop. The elves stopped working and made their way towards the cart. Tony's favorite elf was named Sebastian. He had told him everything about his work, what it was like for him in the various police stations and at NCIS. After eating cookies and drinking chocolate he made his way towards the Reindeer and talked to each one of them and petted them. He fed them too when he saw the empty feeding bins.

Gibbs had been trying to call Tony's cell phone, but he couldn't get him to pick up. He watched as McGee tried to track his cell phone and told him that it was at home. He told the team to gear up and they made their way towards Tony's apartment. Gibbs saw Tony's Mustang in its place. He knew that Tony was off on leave, but this case needed all of them. He unlocked the door, which he had gotten the keys from Tony the first week of him working at NCIS.
He began in Tony's bedroom while McGee checked the other bedroom and Ziva checked the other bathroom. Tony wasn't there and they wondered what happened to him.
"Tony's not here, Gibbs." Ziva yelled out to Gibbs who was still in Tony's room. He had just walked out of Tony's bathroom and was walking to the bedroom door. He wondered where Tony was and if he was okay.
"Let's go. We'll see if we can get Tony on his cell again. Something made each of the team turn around and they were all surprised as Tony materialized in front of them.

It was time for him to go home and rest before he had to go back to work. He often felt a little sad leaving his family, but he knew he had a job to do and he loved doing what he did. He grabbed his bag after packing it and then made his way towards his parents and hugged each of them and said his goodbye's. He disappeared and reappeared in his living room where Gibbs, Ziva and McGee were staring at him.
"Hey, Boss."
Gibbs couldn't talk for a minute as he stared at his Agent as he had appeared in front of them. "Tony, did you just appear in front of our eyes."
"Yes, I did." Tony stared at Gibbs.
"Where were you?"
Tony though for a minute and finally spoke. He really hadn't planned on letting the team know that his Dad was Santa and he was his son. He knew that he had to tell them the truth. "I was helping my Dad with his work."
"What does your Dad do?" Asked Ziva.
"My Dad's Santa. He takes presents go children."
"That's a good one, Tony." Laughed McGee.
"It's true. I was helping my Dad and Mom."
"You're Mother's dead."
"No, that was just a cover story, Ziva. My Mother is very much alive."
"Tony you are lying."
"No, I'm not. I can take you there if you want."
"Go ahead." Ziva dared his teammate.
They all disappeared and reappeared in the warehouse where his father was watching the elves. The elves were in the workshop cleaning up. The team all looked around in wonder. They took in the tree by the door, the workshop benches and tables and the elves working.
"Dad, I'm really sorry, but I know that they wouldn't stop hounding me if I didn't tell them the truth."
"It's okay, son."
"Hello, Jethro, Ziva and Tim. It's a very nice to see you."
"Is this true?" Ziva asked.
"Yes, it's very true Ziva."
"Why don't you show them the Reindeer and then you can go see your Mom." Tony nodded and made his way towards the Reindeer stables.
"These are my Dad's Reindeer. He only uses them on Christmas Eve."
"Can I pet them?" McGee looked around in wonder.
"Of course. I love coming here and tending to the Reindeer when I can. I talk to them and pet them and sometimes I brush them and feed them too."
They went back to the house and walked to the kitchen was where his Mom was making bread.
"Hi, Mom. I'm sorry, but I know that they wouldn't let up and I had to tell them the truth and bring them here."
"It's okay, son." She said as she smiled at her son and looked at the team. "Hello, Jethro, Ziva and Tim. I hope you had a wonderful trip up here."
"We did."
"Good. Did Tony show you the Reindeer stable?"
"Yes, he did. I loved seeing the Reindeer." McGee said still looking around in wonder. He remembered when he was a child and wished for Christmas presents from Santa and now here he was in his home.
"Yes they are a good group of Reindeer and Tony likes them too. I see him sometimes taking care of them when he's here."
"Would all of you like to stay for dinner? It will just be the six of us at the table."
They all looked at Tony as she asked that question. "They would love it, Mom. What do you want me to do?"
"I'll tell you when I need help, Tony. Go to the living room and watch a movie."
"Okay, Mom." He said as he led the team to the living room and picked out a movie and they all settled down and watched the movie.
"Tony, can you come help me?" His Dad was already there and he was watching the movie too.
"Sure, Mom." He said as he got up and went into the kitchen. They began putting dinner together and they both talked about different things like movies and what else he's been doing.
As it was almost done Tony began setting the table and then went back to the living room and finished watching the movie. His Mom called everyone to dinner. They were eating salad, lasagna and garlic bread.
When it was finally time to go they all thanked the DiNozzo's and they were all invited to come back during Christmas time and they even invited Abby, Jimmy and Ducky. They said that they would all be back next year.
The End
