The Twelfth Day of Christmas

Dash was the first to wake. He slowly opened his eyes. Then, his eyes shot wide open. He jumped out of his bed!

"IT'S CHRISTMAS! IT'S CHRISTMAS!" he screamed. He dashed into Violet's room. "Wake up Violet!" he said, shaking her roughly.

Violet moaned. "Dash. . ."

The ten-year-old boy jumped all around Violet's room. "Come on Vi! It's Christmas!"

Dash sprinted into the living room. He gasped when he saw a large amount of presents under the Christmas tree. He turned his head toward the chimney. He was surprised to see his stocking was full of toys.

"Good morning Dash." said Helen, carrying a cup of hot cocoa into the room. She set her cup down and gave her son a big hug. "Merry Christmas!"

"Merry Christmas mom!" said Dash.

Bob came into the room. "Happy Holidays everyone!"

Then, the doorbell rang. Bob went over to answer it.

"MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!" proclaimed the large crowd.

Bob was greeted by Lucius and his wife Honey, Rick Dicker, Edna Mode, and Mirage. Bringing up the rear was Tony Rydinger.

"Merry Christmas!" joyfully said the Parrs.

Everyone exchanged handshakes. After that, Violet came from her room in her purple PJs.

"Hi Violet! Merry Christmas!"

Violet stopped in her tracks. Everyone stared at her. Violet didn't pay any attention to it. She just stared right into Tony's eyes. Her entire body was frozen.

"Uh, Violet," said Tony all of the sudden, "are you okay?"

Violet ran back into her room. Everyone had an extremely blank look. Then, Violet emerged from her room. She had on a nice pair of jeans with a collared peach shirt and a pink headband. She walked up to everyone with a charming smile.

"Merry Christmas!"

Bob cleared his throat. "Well, what are you all waiting for? Let's open some presents before we all forget."

Everyone made their way to the Christmas tree. First, the kids opened their gifts while the adults watched happily. Jack-Jack got himself some new clothes and some new toys. His favorite one was a giant brown teddy bear. It was twice his size.

Dash ripped open his presents with lightning speed. Wrapping paper flew everywhere. To make a long story short, Dash got everything he wanted. Everything that he placed on his wish list, he got.

Violet had a less presents, but she was happy for what she got. This included new clothes, a new hat, money, stuff for her room, and other things. After that, she thanked everyone for the gifts. She gave a hug to Tony last.

"Thanks for coming Tony. All I wanted for Christmas was you."

Tony smiled and gave her a small box. "Here Vi, this is for you."

Violet took the box with trembling hands. Her mouth was opened wide. She stared at Tony, then at her present. She slowly removed the ribbon and ripped the wrapping paper. She opened the box and saw a silver necklace with purple beads and a large violet flower hanging. Violet gasped at the sight. Tony took the necklace and placed it around Vi's neck.

"Merry Christmas." he said, kissing her on the cheek.

Violet stared into his eyes and planted a kiss on the lips. Tony felt a sensation of love flow throughout his entire body.

"Merry Christmas Tony."

From that point on, everyone began to exchange gifts with each other. E gave each person some "special" clothes. Rick gave each person money and gift cards. Lucius and Honey didn't bring any gifts, but their famous Honey Cake would make up for anything. Lucius cooked and brought all the food that everyone would consume later. And finally, Mirage sung a classic Christmas song for everyone. Everyone applauded after that.

"Wonderful Mirage! Simply wonderful." complemented Helen.

"Well honey," said Bob, placing a hand on his wife's shoulder, "it seems like we got what we wanted for Christmas."

Dash and Violet gave their parents puzzled looks. "What is it?" wondered Vi. "You told us on the second day you would tell us."

"I didn't see you get any kind of special gift." said Dash.

Bob laughed. "Dash, you don't need presents to be happy. All I wanted was four our family and friends to be together. But most importantly. . ."

"What?" Violet inquired.

"Your father and I wanted everyone to be happy." concluded Helen. "Like I said to you before Vi. We ask for the same thing each year for Christmas, and each year, we always get it."

Both Violet and Dash looked at their parents. They went up to them and gave their mom and dad a huge hug.

"Merry Christmas! We love you!" both said simultaneously.

"We love you too." Helen and Bob replied back.

"Awwwwwww!"

And together, Bob, Helen, Violet, Dash, Tony, Edna, Lucius, Honey, Mirage, and Rick sang,

"We have celebrated twelve Christmas Days:"

"Twelfth day, it's Christmas!" caroled Rick.

"Eleventh day, we're waiting!" Mirage crooned.

"Tenth day, crime fighting!" sung Honey.

"Ninth day, Disneyland!" Tony sang.

"Eight day, sleigh riding!" rapped Lucius.

"Seventh day, with snow!" spoke Edna.

"Sixth day, ice skating!" Dash caroled.

"Ga da gee kak kak!" cooed Jack-Jack.

("I think you mean Caroling dahling!")

"Fourth day, we're giving!" sang Violet.

"Third day, we're shopping!" caroled Helen.

"Second day, we're wishing!" Bob crooned.

And finally, each person harmonized together, "AND THE FIRST DAY, WE DECORATE A TREE!"

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! FROM THE INCREDIBLES TO ALL OF YOU!!!
