It's Beginning to Feel Like Christmas
I opened my eyes, shivering in bed as I did so. I pulled the sheets tighter around me, and weakly shifted my position in bed. I quickly glanced around my room, and then, my eyes focused on my window. It was December, and it was 2 days before Christmas. Exactly 2 days. Yes, it's the 23rd. Christmas, exactly what is Christmas? I shook my head, and searched for my clocked. It was sitting on the desk next to my bed. 7:34 am. I sighed, and kicked off my covers. I was in my long sleeved Christmas pajamas. My bottoms had little chibi heads of reindeer, and occasionally, you would see Rudolph and his red nose. My shirt had a Christmas tree on it, decorated nicely. I slipped my small feet into my slippers, and reached for the doorknob. I opened the door, and on the outside doorknob was a stocking that said Kyra in beautiful cursive. They did it. I thought, smirking.
I explored the hushed house. On every door in the orphanage was a stocking. I smiled a bright smile to myself. This was going to do good for the younger ones. I traveled into the kitchen, and turned on the light. Then, I opened the refrigerator, taking out some eggs, milk, and syrup. I went into the pantry and grabbed the box of pancake mix. I set the pancake mix next to the other ingredients and opened a cabinet to grab a large bowl to mix the pancake mix in with the eggs and milk. I did that, and after about an hour, I had made breakfast for the whole orphanage. Okay, yeah, this orphanage wasn't that big. The orphanage was small, and I was the one that ran the whole orphanage. There are 18 kids in this orphanage, all under the age of 15. I've had this orphanage for 3 years, and I'm not doing the best. I only ever got kids in here when I just find them wandering or something. Other than that, people don't come to see this orphanage. My mom comes around to check on me, and gives me $500 a month. I guess it's okay, but, like I said, not the best.
"Morning Kyra.", yawned a soft voice of a young girl. "Anything good for breakfast?"
I turned around, and saw the small 7 year old girl. Her hair was brown and curly, her skin fair. She was wearing a night gown, all Christmas-y. This was Dawn.
"Oh, Dawn. You're early.", I said.
"Yeah. Jacob and Daniel are going to wake up soon with Petunia.", Dawn informed.
"Okay.", I nodded. "You can wait for everyone to wake up?"
"I guess so.", Dawn shrugged. "Hey, can I watch TV today? We didn't get to all last week. I know money is hard to get, but please?"
I was silent for a second, then, I sighed. "Oh, alright, but please, keep the volume low."
"I can do that.", Dawn smiled.
"Then count us in too!", said a rather loud, but young male voice.
Entering the kitchen were 5 boys and 3 girls. The one that had spoken was the boy with orange hair. He was wearing sweat pants was a long sleeved shirt. He was 9 and his name was Jacob. Standing by his side was Daniel. Daniel was 9 like Jacob. He has short brown hair, and tan skin. He wears glasses, and is best friends with Jacob. Behind them were the 3 other boys. On the left was a boy with spiky blonde hair, and green eyes. He was wearing shorts past his knees, and socks on his feet. His shirt was short sleeved, but he had on a jacket decorated with snowflakes. This boy's name was Dylan and he was 8. By him was his real brother Darren. Darren looked like Dylan except his hair was more course than Dylan's. Darren was also wearing the same thing as Dylan. Darren's 10. Standing by Darren was a boy known as Jarren. He is Jacob's older brother, Jarren is 13. Jarren had orange brown hair, and wore shorts and a long sleeved shirt.
The 3 girls entered after them. The girl on the left of the group is Monica. She has brown hair tied up in a ponytail, and she wears glasses. Monica was wearing a Christmas shirt and pajama. She's 12. In the middle was a 15 year old girl, Chao, a Chinese girl, and she's the oldest of them all. Her hair was up in buns, being a black color. She was wearing a night gown with reindeer on it, similar to my pajamas. Chao was holding Petunia's hand. Petunia has blonde short hair, and was wearing a small night gown. Petunia is 4, the youngest of the group. You've just met 9 of the 17 orphans.
"Good morning Kyra.", Chao greeted. "Pancakes?"
"Yep.", I answered. "We aren't going to eat until everyone wakes up. I'm going to make extra also in case anyone wants seconds."
"Oh no, not Spongebob.", Monica cried.
"I wanna watch Spongebob though!", Jacob exclaimed.
"I do too.", Daniel said.
"Well, I don't!", Monica hissed, snatching the remote from them.
I sighed. "Chao, can you please?"
Chao bowed and walked over to them. In the middle of all the ruckus, she simply stole away the remote, causing them to stop fighting. She glanced at each of them. "Money is tight for Kyra, and if you 3 are just going to fight over the remote, might as well not watch TV at all. I know we haven't watched in one whole week, but Kyra is doing her best to support us, and fighting isn't helping her at all. Please, give her a break." Then, she dropped the remote on the couch, and they stopped fighting over the remote concluding that they'll watch Spongebob. Chao walked back into the kitchen.
"Hey, thanks Chao.", I smiled.
"Anytime.", Chao said plainly.
"We will eat breakfast soon?", Petunia wondered.
"When the other 8 wake up.", I told Petunia.
Then, 3 others walked into the kitchen lazily. 2 girls, one boy. The first girl was a very tall girl, taller than Chao. She's 14 and is the next oldest. Her name is Rose, Rosa, she's Russian. Her hair was a dark, very dark brown, it could be mistaken for black. Rosa was wearing Christmas socks, and the same pajamas at Chao. Her top had Santa's face on it. Beside Rosa was the other girl, Rima. Rima is Japanese, and has long black hair. She wore a blue shirt with a candy cane on it, and black pajama bottoms. She's 12. The boy with them is Jose. He's obviously Spanish. He had short light brown hair, and tan skin. He wore a shirt similar to Rima's, but it was black with the candy cane on it. His pajama bottoms said "HUMBUG!" on them. Jose was 12 like Rima. I didn't really enjoy the fact that they weren't wearing jackets, but still.
"Good morning Rosa, Rima, Jose.", I beamed.
"Morning!!!", Rima jumped at me. "What's for breakfast???"
"I was only able to whip up some pancakes.", I retorted. "Is that alright?"
"Yep! I love Kyra's pancakes.", Rima nodded.
"Ah, okay.", I laughed. "We aren't eating yet. We wait for the other 6 to wake up."
"That's fine.", Rima snuggled me, then walked to the living room to watch TV.
Chao was the only one staying in the kitchen with me.
"Do you need help with anything?", Chao wondered.
"Um... Actually, yes. Can you set up the table?", I asked.
"As you wish.", Chao made a small smile, then walked over to the tables to fix them up for breakfast.
One more came out. It was 6 year old Zack. His hair was a dirty blonde, and he was rubbing his eyes as he walked into the kitchen. He was wearing Christmas pajama bottoms with Christmas trees on them. His shirt had cookies and a cup of milk on it. He bumped into me, and opened his eyes widely. When he saw me, he made a big smile, and wrapped his arms around my waist giving me a hug.
"Good morning Kyra.", he said.
"Morning Zack. How was sleep?", I messed up his hair.
He fixed his hair, swatting playfully at my hand. "Sleep was good."
"That's good. Now, you can go watch TV until the other 5 wake.", I directed him to the living room and he sat there with the rest of them.
I inhaled the lively air, looking around the kitchen. 2 more walked into the kitchen. It was the twins, Corey and Korey. Male and Female. Corey was the female, and Korey was the male. Both of them were 13. Both of them were wearing a jacket over a shirt, and both wore Christmas ornament pajamas. Covering their toes were Christmas socks. Korey and Corey had brown hair, and it was short for both of them. They looked pretty much the same.
"Hey Korey, Corey!", I greeted them.
"Remember, you can call us K and C.", they spoke simultaneously.
"I know, I know.", I walked over to them and gave them a hug. "How was your sleep?"
"It was good.", they said at the same time again, hugging me back.
"Okay, while we wait for the final 3, go ahead and watch with the others.", I said.
"No, is there anything we can help with?", they asked again at the same time.
"Um, sure. You can help Chao set up the tables for breakfast.", I informed them.
"Okay!", they nodded, and went over to help Chao.
Hm.... I wonder if I can finally get them real gifts this year... Instead of just giving them a candy cane and $2(They get $1 for their allowance which is only once a month. Please, don't blame her, as she's the owner of a small orphanage that doesn't get much money)I thought smiling as I watched all of them. Then, there was a pulled on my shirt. I jumped when I saw the last 3 out of bed. Then I laughed out loud.
"Haha! Don't do that!", I laughed, messing up their hair.
There was the final 3 out of bed, and get this! They're triplets! 2 girls, and 1 guy. The three of them all have short brown hair. The girls have blue eyes and the boy has gray eyes. They were all wearing the same pajamas and a Christmas shirt with a reindeer on it. They were named, Chriss, Chris, and Kryss. Chrisstie, Christina, and Krystian. All of them were 14; 5 months younger than Rosa.
"Morning Kyra!", they all beamed simultaneously. "What's for breakfast?"
"We're having pancakes. Is that okay with you?", I asked.
"Sure! Want us to go and get everyone in the living room to go to the dining room?", they asked.
"Oh, yeah! Thanks, that would mean so much!", I said, and they went to the living room.
:xxx:xxx:xxx:xxx:
"—for this food, amen.", Rosa prayed.
"Amen.", the rest of us said.
"Alright, let's eat.", I smiled at everyone.
They all sat down and immediately started eating. Corey and Korey started fighting over the syrup, but Chao resolved that matter. Chriss, Chris, and Kryss drank one whole gallon of orange juice. I smiled, and was happy that they were happy. Soon, everyone finished their breakfast.
"What can we do now Kyra?", Petunia asked.
"Well, can you guys like draw or something?", I said. "After I clean up the table, I'm going to go out to town and buy more things. Chao and Rosa will be in charge.
"Why are they always always in charge???", Darren whined.
"Because, they're the oldest, and I know that I can trust them, Darren.", I sighed. "Chao, would you help me clean up?"
"Sure.", Chao came over, and helped me clean up. "Everyone else, why don't you find something besides TV to entertain yourself. Heh..."
So, after we cleaned up I left. "Be good!", I told them all, and walked out the door.
First, I opened the mailbox. When I opened it, there was one letter. On the envelope, it said:
Kyra
I hastily opened the envelope, and saw green. Paper. Money. I took the money out quickly, and counted it. $1000. I almost dropped of a heart attack. Then, a note slipped out of the envelope. I picked it up, and read it.
Kyra,
Merry Christmas! It's mom and dad, and we both pitched in and gave you more money this December. Buy nice things for the kids in the orphanage, and tomorrow expect a surprise. Remember, Christmas is only 2 days away!
Love,
Mom & Dad
I hugged the note. I loved my mom and dad so much. Then, I stuck the note in my bag, and literally skipped to the store. When I got to the store(Target)I searched for things that I knew would make the kids happy. For Chao, I was going to give her $20 and a book talking about ninjas. I mean, she may be the oldest, but she's so into ninjas. For Rosa, a painting kit. She loves to paint. For Monica, a make up kit. What can I say? For Rima, a book of spells. She's into all this witchcraft and wizardry. For Dawn, the newest Tokio Hotel album. Music is her life. For Petunia, an angel doll. Now, for Jarren, I'll get him a basketball. He loves sports. Jose will get a painting kit too because he loves to paint with Rosa. For Darren, a new game for the Nintendo DS that everyone shares. Probably Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. For Daniel, I'll be getting him a game for the Nintendo DS too. I think it'll be The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. Jacob will get $10 since I don't know what to get him. Dylan is going to get a new model car he could put together. He loves those things. Zack will get Pokemon cards, and a book about the Pokemon game they have, Pokemon Platinum. Corey and Korey will get a fish, complete with a fish tank, water plants, pebbles for the bottom, and fish food. A goldfish would do nicely. Chriss, Chris, and Kryss have always wanted the DRAMACON manga series, so I'm going to be getting them the ultimate edition for it, which has 3 books in one. Along with that, the Death Note series 1-13. I'm getting them the boxed set. The rest of the money will go in our safe for whenever we need it.
Target didn't have the manga and art kits and such. So, after I went to Target, I caught a ride on the bus, and said I needed to go to mall. There, Santa(the dude pretending to be Santa)would be there. If Petunia was here, she would've loved to sit on Santa's lap. Oh well. When I got to the mall, I walked in, clenching my jacket on because of the white wonderland making me cold. I walked straight into Borders, and got the books I needed there. I got all the stuff that I didn't get at Target here, and walked past the place where Santa had people sitting on his lap. Then, I ran into someone, and we both fell.
"Ouch...", I rubbed my head. "I'm sorry."
"Don't worry about it, hm...", said the guy.
I opened my eyes. The guy helped me up. He had on a black jacket, and baggy denim jeans. His hair was blonde, and his eyes were a deep blue. His hair was up in a ponytail. Looked to be Japanese?
"Oh...", I frowned. "Still... sorry again."
"Heh. It's no big deal. I'm Deidara, yeah.", the guy grinned.
"I'm Kyra.", I smiled.
"Christmas is just around the corner. What're you getting? Stuff for your friends?", he looked at my bags I was holding.
"Huh? No! No, no. I'm shopping for my 18 kids.", I said.
"... You have 18 kids, hm? How old are you, hm?", Deidara raised an eye brow.
"What? I'm 18—WAIT! No no no no! I didn't—NO!", I was blushing. "I mean... I own an orphanage. It's a poor small orphanage. However, my parents send me money every month. I can handle it. It's hard though, and people don't come to see if they want any of the kids.", I explained. "I'm just caring for them myself."
"Brave, yeah.", Deidara told me. "Are you going to have a Christmas party, hm?"
"Hm? Oh, yes. I'm inviting my parents, and they're going to help set things up. I'm also inviting friends and my cousins and aunts.", I nodded. "We're celebrating in the orphanage."
"Oh. Where's the orphanage located, hm?", Deidara questioned.
"It's on Lincoln St. The old looking, but fairly big house.", I informed, confused.
"... What do you want for Christmas, hm?", Deidara turned to stare at me, straight.
"What I want for Christmas..... I want the best Christmas ever... For Chao, Rosa, Dylan, the twins, the triplets, Jarren, Jose, Petunia, Dawn, Monica, Rima, Zack, Darren, Daniel, and Jacob, to have the best Christmas of their lives...", I smiled to myself. "I just want all of them to be happy, to have good lives."
Deidara's eyes were sad. Then he turned around. "Kyra..."
"Hm?", I muttered.
"Your wish has come true, yeah...", he told me.
"What???", my eyes widened.
However, Deidara walked into a big crowd of people. I tried to chase him, but then lost sight of him. I looked in the crowd. I asked people, but they didn't know. I sighed, and frowned. Who the heck was he?
Then Next Morning...
I was talking with Chao, while the others were drawing or talking, or on the DS.
"Thanks for helping me wrap the presents. Except for yours. Hee! I wrapped yours myself.", I grinned.
"Heheh... I know. I wish I knew what I got.", Chao sighed.
"Hey, tomorrow is Christmas. Mom and Dad are coming and they're going to be helping decorating. We've already got the Christmas lights up, and the Christmas tree, and you guys surprised me with the stockings on the doors.", I laughed.
"Yeah. All we need to do is get everything ready.", Chao nodded.
I smiled at Chao. I wonder why Deidara asked those questions... What does he plan to do? … It's confusing, but I shouldn't be confused. Just forget about him. You can never see him again... I made a sad face. Even though you really want to...
"Say", Chao broke the silence between us. "Can I turn on the news? It seems kinda windy and crazy outside."
I glanced out the window. Chao was right. "Alright. I'm curious too.", I said.
We walked to the living room and turned on the TV. "OH! ARE WE WATCHING TV???!!!", Jacob announced. Everyone ran to the living room, and kept grabbing for the remote. Chao flicked them all.
"Stop. We're going to watch the news.", Chao said flatly.
"The news is boooring!!!", Monica and Darren complained.
"We are watching the news to see how the weather will be tomorrow.", Chao glared at them. "I'm worried that there will be a blizzard tomorrow on Christmas."
"... Let Chao do as she wishes. She's the oldest after all.", Rosa shrugged. "I'm kinda worried too. After all, no one wants a bad Christmas. We all should watch the news."
So, we switched on the TV and changed it to the news channel. We watched, and waited for the weather man to come on. It was all announcements about crimes and everything. It was nothing that we needed to know. Well, we should know, but didn't want to know. I let them watch iCarly for the time being. Chao would frequently switch to the news channel to see if the weather would be on. Then, the weather finally came one.
"...", was all that everyone made. They didn't speak.
"The winds are very bad. Up in Canada, there is a blizzard. We can expect one tomorrow on Christmas.", the weather man said.
"Oh no!", Dawn exclaimed. "There's going to be a blizzard tomorrow!"
I got up, and walked to the kitchen. I dialed my mom's phone number.
"Hello?", she answered.
"Mom.", I said. "Will you still come and decorate and get ready for the Christmas party tomorrow?"
"Yes, why?"
"Well, we were watching the news and found out there's going to be a blizzard tomorrow.", I mumbled. "I'm worried mom. Will they be able to make it?"
"Hon, we already sent out the invitations, and we already planned this. Don't worry.", my mom comforted. "We'll still have the party. Even if there's a blizzard, being with friends and family is the most important thing."
"Okay."
"Alright, your dad and I are coming over now. See ya soon. Bye."
"Bye."
I hung up and sighed. Please... please don't mess up this Christmas for me... Don't mess it up for the sake of the children in the orphanage...
Christmas Morning...
"Wow!!!!!", they all had said in awe.
"Look at this! I got an art kit!", Rosa said merrily.
"I did too!", Jose smiled.
"Look!!! Daniel and I got video games!", Darren grinned. "Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days!!!"
"The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks!!!", Daniel exclaimed.
"Luke! Santa gots me a doll!", Petunia hugged the doll close.
"We're going to name our fish Kyra!", Corey and Korey laughed.
"We got the manga we wanted!!!", Chriss, Chris, and Kryss said happily.
Everyone laughed, and showed off their gifts. They were all happy. They kept talking about it, and eating the Christmas cookies that I set out with milk. The fact that they were happy was the only thing that I cared about. Nothing in the world could make me any happier. Any happier than seeing the smiles on their faces. I glanced at Chao who had picked up her rectangular gift. She took the envelope off of the gift, and opened it. When she opened it, the $20 fell out, and she picked it up. She looked at me and gave me a smile. Then, she unwrapped her gift carefully. When she saw the book, she held it in front of her then hugged it tightly. Chao looked at me again and mouthed the words "Thank you."
"You're welcome Chao.", I told her.
Petunia walked to me, and sat on my lap. "This is the best Christmas ever.", she sighed.
I stroked her head. "I'm glad I was able to get this all for you guys."
Chao stood up, and cleared her throat. "Ahem." Everyone grew quiet. "We have a gift for Kyra, don't we everyone?"
"Oh yeah!", Jarren said loudly.
"That's right.", Rima said.
"Let's go get it!", Corey and Korey said.
"Come and help everyone!", Dylan and Jacob had said.
Chao stood by me, Petunia stayed on my lap, and everyone disappeared behind the door to Chao's room. I cocked my head, as I stared at Chao's door. Dawn popped her head out slightly, and grinned nervously. She gave me the finger.
"One second.", Dawn said. Then she disappeared behind the door again.
I waited, and Chao frowned, clutching her book. Then, they all filed out of the room.
"MERRY CHRISTMAS KYRA!!!", all of them exclaimed.
"What?!", I said.
"Look!!!", Rosa pointed at the door.
Then, a little puppy head popped out. Slowly crawling out of Chao's room. I nearly cried.
"YOU GOT ME A PUPPY!!!", I cried happily.
"You do so much for us.", Chao said. "We saved all of our money and bought this puppy. Your parents agreed to help care for it. It's a Shiba Inu, female."
The puppy was orange and had a white belly. She crawled to me, and Petunia got off my lap.
"What will you name puppy?", Petunia asked.
"I... I'm not sure...", I said. "Can you guys help me name her?"
"Yeah!", they cheered.
Then, the door bell rang.
"Eh? Who would be coming here so early. None the less in this blizzard.", I said. Yes, we canceled the party. The blizzard grew over night, and it was terribly bad. No one was allowed to leave their homes. "Watch the puppy.", I ordered them, and stood up and walked toward the door. My heart started to pump. "... Who is it?" Then, I opened the door.
"You had wished for the best Christmas ever, yeah.", said the blonde. "I had made a Christmas promise then and there, hm. I can't break that promise, yeah."
My eyes lightened up, and I threw my arms around Deidara. I was crying. "You do care... I never even..."
"Hey, don't be sad, yeah.", Deidara patted my back hugging me. "I brought some people, hm."
I opened my eyes and looked behind him. Deidara released me, and held my hand.
"Who... are they?", I wondered.
"They're my friends, yeah. I told them I accidentally made a Christmas promise, yeah.", Deidara laughed. "They all came here to help me fulfill that promise, hm."
"I'm Konan.", said a blue haired girl. She had on a red and white scarf, a white jacket, and jeans.
"Nice to meetcha, I'm Sasori.", a red headed guy smiled. He wore a snowboarding jacket, and snowboarding pants with boots.
"Nagato... Konan's boyfriend.", another red headed guy said. His hair was longer than Sasori's and he wore all black. His eyes were hidden, but I could still see them. They were silver.
"Yahiko.", an orange boy nodded. He had his ears pierced, and his lips pierced. His smile was warm, and he wore a red and black jacket, and jeans.
"Then, over there, unloading the car is Hidan and Kakuzu. Hidan has the white slicked back hair, and Kakuzu has the bonnet on his head.", said a green haired boy. Another boy popped out from behind the first green haired boy. They both had green hair. Twins? The first green haired boy spoke again. "I'm Zetsu."
"I'm Setzu.", said the second one.
"We're twins.", they smiled simultaneously.
"I'm Itachi.", a blacked haired boy came up to me, and shook my free hand that wasn't held by Deidara. Itachi wore a sweater that had a reindeer head on it. Jeans, and boots.
"Kisame. Nice to see you.", a blue haired guy said. He wore a blue thick mountain jacket, and black jeans.
"I'M TOBI!!!!! I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!", a boy with brown hair came up to me and hugged me. He was wearing a Christmas hat, and a scarf with a black and white jacket, and jeans. "I HOPE YOU HAVE A NICE CHRISTMAS!!!"
"Kyra, why are you still at the doo—oops. Were you in the middle of something?", Chao muttered.
I turned to see Chao. "Oh no! These are visitors.", I beamed. "They're here to make this the best Christmas ever."
So, Hidan and Kakuzu had brought in several boxes and bags. It seems that they had bought all the kids in the orphanage a gift. The kids in the orphanage had been smiling and laughing some more. They enjoyed having Deidara's friends here. Konan made them hot chocolate, and Yahiko told them stories about Christmas. Tobi gave Petunia a piggy back ride, and Corey and Kory enjoyed being around Zetsu and Setzu.
"Heheh...", Deidara smirked.
"What?", I stared at him.
"You seem happy, yeah. Why?", Deidara pondered.
"Because you made this Christmas great for the kids.", my eyes were happy.
"It's because you wished it, yeah.", Deidara smiled. "Oh, I got this in the mail, hm. Well, not in my mail, but in your mailbox, yeah."
Deidara handed me an envelope. I glared at him a little for going through my mail, but then, started laughing a bit. I opened the envelope, and found more money in it. I counted it with Deidara. $5000. I nearly fainted. A note fell out, and I picked it up and read it:
Kyra,
This is your mom. Guess what? I had found a family that really want children! Instead of taking them from you directly, they decided that they're going to move into the empty house at the corner of your block. They're willing to adopt 7 kids. The wife's brother and his wife also would want to adopt 4 of the kids. I'm still looking for other families. You will have interviews with the families Sunday morning.
Love,
Mom
I made a sad face. But a small smile crept onto my face. "Hey, they're finally going to go to real families.", I said happily. "They're going to be living close to the orphanage too."
"This orphanage can be found by anyone that lived here though. They'll never forget.", Chao said over my shoulder. I flinched. "I heard, and read the note. Heheh... They won't ever forget you Kyra. You were our mother. You're going to be the most important person to me, no matter where I go."
"Chao...", I mumbled.
"Welp, I'll break the news to them tomorrow. Also, I'll give you two space.", Chao grinned, and ran over to Yahiko. "Tell us that one story again."
"Lets just sing!", Tobi said. They all started singing.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look in the five-and-ten, glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas,
Toys in every store,
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
On your own front door.
A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben
Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk
Is the hope of Janice and Jen
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well,
The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Soon the bells will start,
And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing
Right within your heart.
I smiled, and turned to look at Deidara. Deidara pointed up. I cocked my head and looked up.
"Mistletoe.", Deidara grinned.
I blushed, but Deidara leaned over, and pressed his lips against mine softly. Then, our lips parted.
"Merry Christmas, yeah.", Deidara whispered in my ear.
