That night, Franziska is able to easily fall asleep and stay asleep through the entire night, unlike most children her age who were too excited for the coming of Christmas to get even two minutes of rest.

Franziska is sleeping soundly until, at 5:30 a.m., Manfred bursts into her room and vigorously shakes his daughter to wake her up.

"Franziska! Franziska! Wake up, foolish girl! It's Christmas!"

Franziska then sits up in her bed as she stretches her arms and yawns. She then rubs her eyes as she talks to Manfred with a tired tone.

"Papaaaa… It's only 5:30 in the morning."

"Nonsense, Franziska! It's never too early in the morning during Christmas!"

Manfred then grabs Franziska's wrist, pulls her out of her bed, and runs with her down to the living room. Once they reach the living room, Manfred places Franziska on a couch next to Edgeworth, who had disheveled hair and bloodshot eyes from his experience in the Christmas Room, which had finished just before Franziska was woken up.

Franziska then takes note of her "little" brother's condition and inquires to ask about it.

"Miles Edgeworth, why are your eyes so bloodshot? Did you make the foolish decision to not get any sleep last night?"

Edgeworth then slowly turns to face his adoptive sister as his right eye begins to slightly twitch and his body lightly trembles.

"The horrors that I faced in the Christmas Room are none that I would wish even on my most vile enemy, Franziska…"

Franziska then directs her attention to the large Christmas tree in the family room and notices that, to her surprise, that there are no gifts under it.

"Papa, why are we up so early in the morning?"

"We are going to open our presents, Franziska."

Franziska then points to the empty ground underneath of the Christmas tree as a small frown spreads across her face.

"But how are we supposed to open presents if there are none here? I was excited to open my gifts with you, Papa."

Manfred then walks over to Franziska and pats her head.

"Don't worry, Franziska, just be patient; Santa will bring us our presents soon enough."

Suddenly, the family of three hears the sound of sleigh bells, whimpering, and light swearing from outside the mansion. This causes Manfred to become even more giddy and bending his knees in excitement.

"Santa's here! Quickly, we must greet him; lest we all end up on the Naughty List!"

Manfred the ushers Edgeworth and Franziska out of the mansion while he grabs the plate of cookies that was prepared the previous day as well as a glass of milk and quickly joins Edgeworth and Franziska outside.

Once outside, the group sees that Blaise Debeste is wearing a white beard, instead of his normal brown one, and has a Santa coat on, but it isn't stuffed in anyway, so he still retains his lanky body type. Blaise is standing in a chariot that is being drawn by his 6 year-old son, Sebastian, who is wearing a reindeer costume and is heavily panting, while it is parked in the street right by the mansion. Blaise then greets the group.

"Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas, von Karma family!

At that Moment, Manfred's eyes had widened and he was in a state of disbelief, as if he was greeted by a god of Olympus. Manfred manages to speak to one of the few men that he actually admired, who he thought was Santa.

"S-S-SANTA!"

At that moment, Edgeworth wants nothing more than to inform his mentor that that was not Santa, but rather, a poorly disguised Chief Prosecutor Debeste who is having a young boy pretend to be a reindeer; but Edgeworth knows that if he did, Manfred wouldn't listen and he would be put back in the Christmas room; a punishment that he does not want to relive anytime soon.

Thankfully, Franziska is willing to ask those questions for him.

"Papa, why does Santa look like Unky Boo Boo? Shouldn't he be plump like in the movie?"

Unlike with Edgeworth, Manfred responds to Franziska's question in a calm and collected manner; in part because he does not want to face the wrath of his idol.

"Franziska, Santa takes on the form of the person that you respect the most. That is why he looks like Chief Prosecutor Debeste to us."

Franziska then points to Sebastian and the chariot.

"Then why does Santa have a chariot that is being drawn by a single reindeer? Shouldn't he be in a flying sleigh that is drawn by 8 reindeer?"

Blaise then walks over to the group with a bag full of presents.

"I can answer that question, little von Karma. Y'see, I use the sleigh when I'm delivering to the general public; but when I'm delivering to people who are high on my Nice List, I use this chariot that is pulled by my idiot reindeer, Sebastian."

Manfred then hands the plate of cookies and the glass of milk to Blaise.

"I-I have perfectly prepared these cookies for you, Santa. I hope that they are to your liking…"

Blaise then grins as he eats one of the cookies and drinks some milk.

"Y'know, von Karma, these cookies really are perfect. Anyways, time to give you guys your presents."

Blaise then reaches into his bag and hands Manfred a small rectangular box that is wrapped in grey wrapping paper.

"For you, von Karma."

Manfred then opens up his gift and sees that it is a new Taser.

"A new Taser!? Thank you, Santa!"

"That Taser can send 600,000 volts of electricity coursing through your enemies' bodies, y'know. You've earned it by winning all of your trials and never questioning Blaise Debeste's orders and moral choices, y'see."

Blaise then reaches into his bag and hands Edgeworth a medium sized rectangular box that is wrapped in red wrapping paper.

"For you, Edgeworth."

Edgeworth opens up his gift and sees that it is a Steel Samurai action figure as well as a DVD set of the first season of the show. Edgeworth stares at his gift in confusion.

"What's a 'Steel Samurai'?"

"Y'see, Edgeworth, since you didn't send me your Christmas list, I got you merchandise from the new Steel Samurai show that's been taking the world by storm."

Manfred then glares at Edgeworth.

"I am so sorry about that, Santa. I told the foolish boy to send you his Christmas list, but he refused to comply."

"Don't sweat it, von Karma. Y'see, I'm a pretty resourceful guy, so I'm pretty good at improvising."

Blaise then reaches into his bag and pulls out a long, thin box that is wrapped in light blue wrapping paper.

"For you, little von Karma."

Franziska then opens her gift and sees that it is a riding crop, which causes a big grin to spread across her face.

"Thank you, Santa! Now I can finally discipline my foolish fool of a little brother whenever he acts foolish. Like this!"

Franziska then whips Edgeworth with her new riding crop which causes Edgeworth to reel back in pain. Edgeworth then flashes Blaise a scowl as he responds with pure sarcasm in his voice.

"Thanks a lot, Santa…"

Blaise then flashes his Sadistic smile as he responds, enjoying Edgeworth's pain as if it was a high quality meal.

"Your welcome, Edgeworth… Y'know, I'd love to stay and chat, but, y'see, I have to be leaving now."

Manfred and Franziska vigorously wave goodbye to Blaise as he returns to his chariot. Once he is situated inside the chariot, he pulls out a whip and then proceeds to whip Sebastian.

"Yah, Sebastian! Onward, my idiotic steed!"

Sebastian then begins to slowly pull the chariot, but then suddenly stops when he sees the steep hill that he is being forced to climb. This sudden stop enrages Blaise as he whips Sebastian a second time.

"What's the hold-up, Sebastian?! Climb that hill so that we can go home!"

Sebastian then begins to start crying.

"But Pops, that hill is so steep and I'm still exalted from the last 30 minutes of walking that you made me do!"

Blaise then does an over-exaggerated imitation of Sebastian as he pulls his beard, causing tears to pour out of his goggles.

"'Boohoo! I'm Sebastian! I'm a little idiot who's afraid of a little physical labor. Oh woe is me!' Take us up the hill, you little wuss! Y'know, if I miss my soaps because of your whining, Sebastian, then you're going to get a little visit from Mr. Lighter!"

Sebastian then wipes his tears and begins to climb the hill as Blaise is whipping him. When Sebastian is halfway up the hill, his legs give out, this causes the chariot to move down the large hill, with Sebastian being dragged behind it, at an alarming speed. The chariot then whizzes by the von Karma mansion and keeps moving until it goes into a nearby four way intersection and causes a three car pileup. Luckily for Blaise and Sebastian, neither of them was injured; thus, Blaise quickly grabbed Sebastian and fled the area. Franziska shocked that she just saw Santa commit hit and run, voices this to Manfred.

"Papa, Santa just committed hit and run, shouldn't we call the police and have him arrested so that we can prosecute him?"

"Franziska, the first rule of being a prosecutor is to convict only criminals who have been brought to court. Santa, on the other hand, is a being who is above the laws of God or Man; hence, it is none of our concern."

After that incident, Manfred took Edgeworth and Franziska back into the house where they celebrated Christmas with watching more Christmas movies, listening to more Christmas carols, and wrapping the day up with a feast consisting of many items including turkey, ham, and Figgie pudding. After the day's events had ended, Franziska and Edgeworth went to bed. While Edgeworth just wanted the holiday season to end after his time in the Christmas Room, Franziska wished that this time of year would last forever if it meant that her father would be more caring towards her.

The next day, Franziska woke up with a cheerful grin on her face as she searched the mansion for her father. After five minutes of searching, she found him, wearing his normal attire, in his personal office. Manfred was in his chair, with his back to the doorway, as he was hunched over and weeping while he clutched his elf hat in his right hand. Franziska, with her guard lowered due to the recent festivities, ran over to Manfred and gave him a big hug.

"Good morning, Papa! Are we going to watch more movies together?"

Manfred sighed as he turned to face his daughter with his usual scowl.

"What foolishness are you uttering, Franziska? There will be no lollygagging today; now join Miles in the study and do your work."

Franziska, whose smile turned to a look of utter devastation, stood there helplessly as she saw her father's holiday cheer fade away.

"B-But, Papa… What about your holiday cheer?"

"The holidays have ended, Franziska. Now end this pointless conversation and return to your studies."

"But-"

Manfred slams his large desk with his left fist.

"Now!"

Franziska then runs out of the office and goes to the study to continue her work. Right after Franziska has left Manfred stares longingly at his elf hat.

"Until next year, old friend… Until next year…"

Manfred then kisses the hat, puts it in his desk drawer, and resumes his current assignment.
