All the Axis and Allies were mingling with each other. Well, besides England. He was still there, eating cake. Alone. Oh, so alone.

Italy glanced at his watch and gasped. "Oh no! It's that time already? Oh no, oh no, oh NO!"

America watched with a strange look on his face. "Hey, Italy?! What's wrong?"

Italy looked up at America and said in reply, "It's 11:50! It's almost midnight! AND THAT MEANS IT'S ALMOST CHRISTMAS!"

America made a faint laugh. "Ah ha ha...isn't that a good thing?"

"NO! 'Cause we haven't done it yet!"

"Um, okay. What's it anyway?"

"We haven't given each other the traditional Christmas Eve presents yet!"

"OH, NO! WE DID NOT JUST FORGET THAT!" America said, astonished that he had forgotten, too.

Italy grabbed the nearest chair and stood on it. "EVERYONE! It's time to give out the traditional Christmas Eve gifts! After all, it is one of the special things to do today!"

All the talking stopped when Italy said this. They all nodded at each other and threw their plates and forks away. Italy led them to the middle of the room where the Christmas tree stood, high and proud. He got out a huge bag buried somewhere under all the wrapped boxes and set it out infront of himself. Okay, everyone! Look for your nametag on one of these! And Merry Christmas Eve!"

Everyone rushed to find theirs. Italy seemed proud. Everybody found theirs as fast as lightning. They tore open the boxes (what a mess!) and were all happy of what they recieved.

America was especially greatful for what he got. He was the only one who thanked Italy. Italy, knowing him, anwsered a gleeful, "You're welcome!"

England, however, was still sitting down being all sad (How could you, England???? You're such a meanie to be like this on Christmas Eve!). Only America noticed that there was still one present left untouched and at the bottom of the bag. He walked over and picked it up. The nametag read, "England" and a very neat "Merry Christmas Eve, from Italy". America knew at once not to just leave it there to be forgotten! He walked over to England and sat down next to him.

"Hey, England! Italy just gave us his traditional Christmas Eve presents! Everyone opened theirs already! Come on, open yours," America told England, putting the present on his lap. Since England wasn't doing much but look at the item, America sighed and walked away. But, England wasn't going to let this present go to waste! He looked at the colorful wrapping and wondered what it was. Since it was for him, he ripped the paper and opened the box. Inside was a pearl-white teacup with gold decorations on it. Next to the teacup was a smal box that said, "The Finest Tea in Europe!". England realized that Italy had gotten him the expensive tea and teacup that he had seen him looking at through a shop window. And he did want it. Really badly.

And now he had it.

I really have to thank Italy for this, England thought to himself.

"England! Do you like your present!?" Italy said, popping out of nowhere.

"Uh...yes, Italy. I really love it. Thank you."

Italy made a huge smile. "You're welcome! Are you happy now? I bet you are!"

England made a suprised look. "Uhh...um....yes?"

Italy's shoulders drooped. His smile became a frown. (Nice going England! You made Italy sad!) "Oh, okay...Merry Christmas, England..."

Italy walked away upset.

England somewhat felt bad that he did that to Italy.

Italy went to America and said, "America, England's gift didn't cheer him up! I don't know what to do now...and I don't even know what's wrong!"

America anwsered, trying to make Italy calm, "It' okay, Italy! Here, I'll try to cheer him up!"

"Okay! After all, there's so much you can do to make him feel better! I've seen you make him laugh!"

"Heh, okay. Off I go! Wish me luck!"

England saw America approaching. He was getting ready for one of the most annoying coversations of the day. But, to his luck, before America was half way to him, a very loud bell rang out. Every person looked around the room to see where it was coming from and why it even did ring. Italy bounced up and down saying, "IT'S CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! MERRRRRRYYYYYYY CHIRSTMAAAS!"

A wave of "Ooohhhhh" came out of the crowd of people. All of a sudden, everyone started hugging and greeting each other a "Merry Christmas!". They were all happy, and as England watched this, he turned gazed at them in wonder. I wonder why I'm not treated like that, he thought. He sighed and turned around in disgust.

"It's time to sing Christmas carols!" Italy said. "I even asked Austria to play the piano for us! He should be setting up in the other room."
