OK, we're back to where we were for our first or in this collection but now it's a new Christmas a new dawn. This is Christmas Eve. Remember, I'll be doing both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in this one chapter in this one story so just like last time it is a double chapter.
It's better than trying to make two different chapters or two different stories for both besides it would be too short if I did they're more skilled with Christmas now so this will be more fun probably maybe not as fun as their first Christmas but it'll be worth it.
Don't worry when we get to Christmas again next year we will do the baby's first Christmas don't worry, but right now this is not that this is the second Christmas for the Valenciennes so they know what to do now and help out with the cooking and everything this time.
And I'll get new gifts, but that won't be for a while.
This whole first part is about decorating the Christmas tree. They'll do it all on Christmas Eve.
To us begin
Christmas Eve
It was Christmas Eve now today it was our second Christmas with the Eran's. They were getting used to this new life of being human now it made it more exciting because well I was having my first baby. Luther was excited too soon. It'll be the baby's first Christmas, but not this year next year next year. I told him not this. Do you think you'll be able to eat Christmas dinner he asked I think so. I said I've been eating healthy with our Lindsey and diet lately and I think I'll be able to hold down a normal Christmas dinner tomorrow I said with a smile.
Good because I'll be making my classics for this. Are you gonna make Griffin an egg? Yes, but I'm gonna try them deviled eggs he said I smiled. That'll be interesting. We'll have that in regular deviled eggs. I said sounds good. He said I've cooked most of everything so everything should be ready to go well and all the presents are wrapped yes everyone is settled into their home so they'll be able to have Christmases with their families if they have any in our group and we will have a classic regular Christmas this year, we won't have a ball like we did last year. We don't need one I said and the tree looks lovely. We decorated it already. We just got the tree in now we were gonna decorate the Christmas tree and we'll watch Christmas movies again yay! He said I enjoyed that part and we read the Bible before we go to bed the Christmas story sounds good. Also, I said we are going to. We're gonna go to church. Oh yes, I forgot. Yes yes of course we're gonna go to church.
We're going to the candlelight service good I'm glad that'll be fun. He says.
Luther smiles you taught us so much this last year Lily I'm so proud of you. I'm glad you think so. I know so you taught most of us how to be human and how to control our powers in front of most of the normal humans who live here I'm glad you've learned to control them a little bit.
We can use some like superpowers. He says I laugh yes you can use them like superpowers and be superheroes I said.
Sounds great. I've been reading a lot of superhero comics lately. He says I noticed that Ash has two. We enjoy them Lily good I said clapping my hands. You'll love my gifts to you then this year. Yay, he said I can't wait.
Also been enjoying manga, and watching a lot of anime with you. I'm glad you have been. I said we can just enjoy ourselves. Yes, he said and I like it and I like it very much. Let us decorate the tree and then we'll get ready and go to church I said we put up the Christmas tree and decorated it. I couldn't do as much as I did last year, but I can put the hooks in the balls and put the tree in the middle of the room. We didn't have to put one in the ballroom this year so we put one in the living room area of ion it made it more cozy.
The baby room was coming so long too. Our nursery was starting to look lovely as well. The kids are gonna love it.
We had the crib and everything else that we needed.
We had to make sure it was a double crib. Everything had to be double twins and everything.
Or have two cribs look what we had an extra he didn't he did tease me a little and said are you gonna have as many kids as your parents I laughed I hope not. I said you're still young. He said I know.
I don't know how many kids I will have I said.
But I'll try to have as many as I can.
You're done getting ready and we left our whole family and friends in our group went to church. It was time they were doing the Christmas story and we had candles and prayed and sang, hymns and Christmas songs.
And if there are any young children in our group, they need to be in bed by midnight. Santa will be coming soon I said. Does Santa exist in this land? Luther asked me as we returned home. He's part of dreams so of course he is. My family knew him. I said so I know Santa I didn't say that last year because I didn't get a chance, but he won't be coming around much this year. It's the only thing that children have to hold on to and believe in while this awful disease is going on will cure it I promise Luther said we will save the children and everyone in the awakening world he says You save them with your power and your cure. I hope so and it's only up to me right now, I know, but I can do it you can you can the cure is done and has been through simulations. It's good to go.
And it'll be really strong because you added so much to it the ferry dust and that I am. It'll be super strong. I promise he says we got back and ate dinner and then we all went to bed. We didn't eat much for dinner because we were having a big Christmas dip together dinner tomorrow merry Christmas. Love you too. He said this was our first Christmas being married too, which was nice but we didn't go to sleep right away we may love to make it more magical. He said I laughed as we held each other as we slept. Everyone will love their gifts tomorrow I said we will wake up bright and early, and we will open our presents and then we will have dinner we'll have breakfast and then we'll have dinner. We'll split the presents. I said we'll open some of them open our Santa gifts early and then we'll eat breakfast and then we'll open more presents. Actually what we'll do is. We'll get up eat breakfast go to church again in the morning. They have a sunrise service. Yes, we're going to sunrise service I said then we'll go to then will come back open gifts and then we'll go. Don't have dinner I said.
Then we'll open the rest of our presents and then we will. I don't know playing some games watch movies sounds good. Luther said I like it he said as we snuggled and fell asleep.

end of author note
Christmas morning
early
6 AM
We got up we ate breakfast when we got back. I told everyone who was headed to church this morning. We went to the church further away. We didn't go to the one near us because this was a special occasion and it was Christmas time. It was sunrise service so we arrived and found our seats .
A delicious breakfast will be waiting for us when we return. We had to go to church service first through the sunrise service just let the candlelight service before it. We sang praises to our Lord and his birth and everything then afterward we returned home it was time to open presents to see what Santa had brought us. I got more gifts for the baby Luther and I each got more gifts for our children and new gifts were given to our new to our Lindsey and friends. I told them this time they could celebrate Christmas individually and not as a big group this year if they have smaller groups and families, I said they liked that idea so they started celebrating in smaller groups so we wouldn't have to celebrate all together.
You can have your dinners and everything. The only ones we celebrated together were Odette me, Luther, Riley, Helena, Julius, Ash, everyone in the group, and the Eldon because they didn't have any other children because Ash was their child by adoption somewhat and all the kids in blood Moon Haven with Portia and Ezra, they celebrated with us. The rest of them had their own little homes and houses to celebrate in.
There wasn't any big outstanding thing this year, even though we got electronics and things like I said Luther and I got more things since we were married now more gifts for each other and from others to make our home an ion more Homie since we were gonna be cooking on our own more cooking utensils to fill the kitchen. We will not need any more of any servants. We total debt when you pass we will not hire any new servants. Helena will cook and Adriana will cook and Luther and Ash are also good cooks but the king's cooking is only for our family most of the time anyway if we have big banquets, we have Helena and Adriana do a lot of the cooking, and Ezra too so we don't have to worry about that kind of thing an ion does it need guards we might post security guards or something for the kingdom itself, but we will not need any other types of guards I explained.
We opened our gifts from Santa and then after we did an exchange gift amongst ourselves we had a glorious feast of deliciousness like we did last year. It was so good. It was a sad Christmas this year because Odette was dying after our child was born and named and given her gifts gifts then Odette would pass. This is her last holiday with us well actually New Year's is our is her last holiday with us and then that will be it 2025 will be her final year, which is sad but that was OK.
And once we take care of our main threat, which is the bogeyman, we probably won't have that many threats except petty criminals, and those will be easy to deal with the only other frets are outside our kingdom, which will be back in the main mortal realm where the villains of Valencia will be raining havoc and once we take care of them, most of all of our threats will be taken care of.
After dinner, we played some games then we played our normal Christmas gift-giving games we played at least several we played bingo. We played Secret Santa and others. Night dirty Santa it was so much fun. We played card games and ate again. It was so much fun. It was the best Christmas ever. 2024 was going out with a bang 2025 was coming in with war and another battle we will be having with the villains as well this year. It'll be a mess. We will take care of them though like always.
They'll be easy to take care of we'll take care of Alvin and the others soon, but this taking care of my villain is more important right now, and deliberating the human awakening world, and the dream room from Bogeyman is more important right now than anything else.
They also gave us more gifts for our home to make ion even more Homie, which was nice. It was gonna be our main castle our main palace, so it has to look great if the bogeyman's powers can be neutralized by just finding him, and if my parents are under a spell of their death, then maybe they'll awaken, but I doubt it.
Soon Christmas was over. It was great though we had a great time Helena and Julius and Adriana and a meal had a great time too like they did last year.
It was big it was great and beautiful.
And we didn't forget the reason for the season next year I don't know what it'll be like but we'll bring in 2025 with a beautiful fun time.
We also have a war coming. It wouldn't take long though I think it'll be very short, but still.
I will cure every one of nightmares disease Luther and the rest will kill the bogeyman and his forces and the world will be saved. Then we'll take care of the villains from Valencia Valencia will be soon delivered as well. The villains will be taken from our from their world and killed.
With my counterpart powers, I'll be able to help in that fight even more so.
But now we'll finish up our Christmas once we were done everyone went home and we all went to bed waiting. What would be next in our lives? Which will be the new year.
