A/N: Hello, my lovely readers! It's almost Christmas, and I wanted to post this before I went to my cousin's house, so here you are!

On Christmas, Callie came running down the stairs at two o'clock in the morning.

"Mommy!" she yelled, waking up everyone in the house. "Santa came! Can I open my presents?"

Dylan started crying. A curious Katherine came downstairs.

"Go back to sleep!" Annabeth yelled, from her and Percy's room. "It's two o'clock."

"Actually," Callie reminded her, looking at the clock. "It's two oh three."

"That doesn't matter. You woke everyone up! Including Dylan!"

"Oops." Callie said.

"Calliope! Go put Katherine back to bed!" Percy said, trying to get Dylan back to sleep, with the help of Annabeth.

"Okay!" Callie replied.

Turning to her sister, she whispered "Do you want to go back to sleep?"

Katherine shook her head. "No." she whispered.

"Me neither. I know! Let's have a party!" said Callie, jumping up and down.

"Watch Sesame Street?" Katherine asked.

"No," her older sister replied. "Let's watch The Shining! Uncle Leo said it was a great movie!"

"Cookie." Katherine said.

"No." Callie said harshly. "No cookie."

"Pwease?"

"No. We don't have any cookies."

"One cookie?" Katherine begged.

"No." Her sister reminded her

"Pwease."

"Still no."

"I want cookie!"

"No cookie!" said Callie. "Let's watch a movie!"

"Presents?" Katherine asked.

"No. We're watching Barbie. You'll like it."

Twenty minutes later, Katherine was entranced.

"This is boring." Callie stated, changing the channel. "Let's watch the history channel.

Katherine looked horrified. "Barbie!" she cried.

"No, Katherine. Look, it's a documentary on Ancient Greece!"

"Grandma?" Katherine asked. Sure enough, there was a picture of Athena on screen.

A ad for the Disney movie Hercules popped up during the commercial break.

Callie frowned. "Don't watch, Katherine. They're giving you false information."

"Why?"

"I don't know! But that's mean, so I'm going to call them."

Callie looked up the phone number for Disney on the computer.

"Hello, this is the help center. How may we help you?" the receptionist asked.

"First of all, your Hercules movie is completely wrong. You barely got anything right. Hercules was no way Hera's child. Hercules is technically my first cousin once removed, so I should know. Also-"

"Excuse me, ma'am." said the receptionist. "Have you even watched the movie? And how old are you? Children under eighteen must have an adult's permission to call. And another thing: it's three o'clock in the morning! On Christmas! Shouldn't you be asleep?"

"Well, no to the movie, yes to the sleep." Callie admitted. "But I saw the commercial!"

"Is this a prank call?"

"No." said Callie, hanging up. "Bye!"

Katherine toddled over to Callie.

"Look!" she said, pointing the tree, which was surrounded by mostly unwrapped presents.

"Naughty Katherine!" Callie scolded, making her sister cry. "Look what you've done!"

She noticed her crying sister. "It's ok, Katherine. Mom and Dad probably won't be mad. Besides, I can just use duct tape!"

Katherine stopped crying immediately after receiving her cookie.

"I'm tired." said Callie, yawning, after she finished re-wrapping the presents in duct tape. "Let's go back to bed."

Katherine agreed, so they went back to sleep in their rooms.

That morning, Katherine and Calliope got up at seven and ran downstairs.

Annabeth met them at the bottom of the stairs, an inquisitive look on her face.

"Girls," she finally asked. "Do you have any idea why all the presents are wrapped in duct tape? And why does Katherine have cookie crumbs all over her face?"

"Uh….." Callie said.

"Uh…" repeated Katherine.

"We sort of stayed up after you told us to go to bed. Oh, and if Disney gives you any weird phone calls, it wasn't me."

"Calliope Sophia Jackson!"

A/N: Merry Christmas! And since it's almost Christmas, can I get some reviews? For a Christmas present? Please?
