A/N: The dates in this story do not follow up with the dates in reality.

It was weeks before Christmas, and the training grounds were covered with a layer of powdery snow. That was about it for the holiday decorations. Most of the trainees sat around reminiscing about how back home would be all decorated up. Until one trainee had had enough of it. "I get it!" Ymir shouted one day, slamming her hands down on the dining table. "Shut up about how your home would be all decorated for the holidays! Stop whining. We're going to do something about it, because I'm sick and tired of you all complaining about it."

"Ymir?" Christa asked.

"Listen up! We're going to split up into pairs and gather things so that we can decorate."

"Who's picking the pairs? You?" Connie asked.

"Yes, I am. Bertholdt and Marco are in charge of making everyone Christmas stockings. Use your skills, boys. Marco will knit them, and Bertholdt will sew everyone's names on them." Ymir looked around.

"Can Sasha and I be in charge of Christmas tree decorations?" Connie asked, raising his hand.

"Yes. Reiner and Mikasa will go and find us a good evergreen tree, cut it down, and bring it to the dining hall so we can all decorate it with whatever Sasha and Connie get for this tree."

"We'll do a great job!" Reiner proclaimed.

"I expect a good, tall tree, Braun. Use your shoulder wrestling skills to find a tall one. Put Mikasa on your shoulders like you demonstrated a couple weeks ago, and if the tree is a heck of a lot taller than you two like that, get that one." Ymir commanded.

"Mina, Annie, and Armin you three are in charge of taking care of the little details. Anything that needs some of this holiday spirit, you three will take care of. There shall be no part of this training ground that is not decorated for Christmas."

"Got it." Armin replied.

"Eren and Jean are in charge of keeping Shadis away from us while we decorate. Don't care what you do, just keep him away from us and don't kill yourselves in the process, and don't get killed by Shadis."

"What about you and Christa?" Eren asked.

"We're in charge of the lights." Ymir informed him.

Everyone separated to go do the jobs Ymir assigned them. Reiner and Mikasa found the biggest tree available. Reiner dragged it back with Mikasa on top of his shoulders. It seemed he had refused to let her down. They helped decorate the grounds like that too.

Marco and Bertholdt made lots and lots of stockings. Each and every trainee had one with their name on it.

Connie and Sasha found the absolute best decorations for everything else. Everything looked amazing once it had been decorated with what they had found. The tree especially. Ymir pretended she didn't see the mistletoe they hung just over the dining hall doorway. She'd have to bring Christa there in the middle of the night.

Mina, Annie, and Armin did a splendid job at making sure that the grounds were completely decorated for Christmas. They did their job perfectly.

Ymir and Christa captured lots of fireflies and put them in colored jars of various colors to make Christmas lights. They had lots of light strands and every possible place that could be decked out in lights was decked out in lights.

Jean and Eren had done some kind of job at keeping Shadis away. They only spent two days in the infirmary before they could come out and enjoy the Christmas decorations with everyone else.

The trainees all marveled at their decorating skills. Needless to say, no one ever complained about the lack of decorations again that Christmas.

A/N: My house is all decorated for Christmas so I thought that I should write the trainees decorating the base for Christmas. I've been having a lot of fun writing all of these holiday themed chapters, and I've got a lot more ideas for holidays chapters that I'm going to write and post. But with Christmas coming so soon, two chapters every four days won't exactly get all of what I want to write in. There is a big possibility that there may be more than one chapter published each day. Just saying. Don't expect anything because it's not set in stone, but do expect the unexpected. Happy holidays and thank you for reading.

See you later!
