I'm so glad that so many people like this! Becca asked if this story was going to be tcest. My answer is, I honestly don't know. I don't think I'll make it tcest, though late night posting usually leads to Leo/Donnie or Raph/Mikey fluff. If you are against tcest, then I will abstain.

Now, without further ado, the chapter I wanted to write last Christmas, but never got to. I don't really feel like writing a plot to to this thing, so if anyone wants to see certain family moments, situations, or memories, I'm happy to take requests. If you do want a plot, let me know, and I'll post that to the original version of this story, Hey There, Bright Eyes, in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles section.

Mikey was putting up Christmas decorations, plotting his presents for the family. It was Khan's first Christmas, and he wanted it to be special. Besides, Mikey was positive Canaletto would love his gift.

"Hey, Mikey. Have you seen April? She and Casey were supposed to be here an hour ago."

"Relax, Leo. I'm sure she's just-"

"We're here!"

April and Casey walked in through the elevator door, carrying heaps of presents and treats. Or rather, April was carrying one small package and Casey was carrying everything else.

"Who's that for, April?" Donnie asked, pointing at the parcel in her hands. April was looking around the base with a hopeful look.

"I heard that there was a new face around here, and I wanted to surprise him."

"Leo, Donnie, Mikey, Raph? Who are they?" Canaletto asked, rubbing sleep from is eyes.

April looked like she would implode. Waving at the kitten, she crouched down to his eye level.

"Hi there, little guy! I'm April. I'm a friend of your brothers'. I have something for you." She said, holding out the package. Khan took it gratefully, ripping open the colourful wrapping. Inside was a chunky apple-green scarf. Canaletto held it up, showing it to his brothers.

"Look, look, it's got my name on it!"

The turtles looked and saw that 'Canaletto' was weaved into the scarf length-wise.

"April, did you make that?" Leo asked, amazed.

"Yes, though Casey helped. But don't tell him that."

She motioned to where Casey, Raph, and Mikey were set about putting presents under the tree. The three onlookers laughed at the childish grins on their faces. Canaletto was too busy exploring his knew scarf to notice. He wrapped it around his neck, and tried to pull his hand away, but couldn't. He pulled as hard as he could, and fell flat on his face when he pulled too hard. Donatello ran over and picked the boy up, sitting him in a chair to asses the problem. He chuckled and waved Leo and April over.

"Don't worry, little guy. Your claw is just stuck. April, can you get me a scissors."

Donnie detangled the sniffling child's claw from the wool, and set to work trimming his claws.

"Honestly, you'd think that Mikey would have learned from taking care of Klunk. You need to trim a cats claws regularly to keep these things from happening."

Mikey, who had come over to check on his younger sibling, shrugged and smiled sheepishly. Master Splinter's call alerted them of the arrival of the last guests of the evening.

Soon, Angel, Silver Sentry, Usagi, Gennosuke, The Proffessor, Casey, Don, Raph, Leo, and Splinter were all seated at the table. Mikey and April were coaxing Khan into the seat between Angel and Usagi. When they finally got him in, they told the two to make sure he knew what was happening.

"It's cool that I'm not the youngest person in the room anymore." Angel said. "Now, just sit here and we can eat, and if you have questions about anything, just ask."

"Who is the furry person?" He said, pointing to Usagi. The rabbit smiled.

"You are quite 'furry' too, young one. I am Miyamoto Usagi. I have never met a cat like you outside my own world before. It is pleasant to meet one that isn't battle-crazed."

This seemed to satisfy his curiosity. Khan mewled happily and dug in to his food.

When all the guests had left, and the table was cleared, the turtles and their brother were huddled around the TV wall watching "The Year Without A Santa Claus". Khan still marveled at how such tiny little boxes could hold all those little people.

The end credits rolled on screen and Splinter clicked off the TV.

"Time for bed. It's Christmas, after all."

"Can we please open one present?" Mikey pleaded.

"Very well. But just one."

Mikey climbed over and picked up a long, green wrapped package with a red ribbon.

"Here, Canaletto. This is from all of us. Merry Christmas."

The turtles grinned at each other as Khan tore through the wrapping. When he got to the present inside, his face lit up with sheer, unadulterated joy.

"We hope you like it."

Inside the wrapping paper was a long, thin box. Lying inside was a green mask of his very own.
