(PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT ANY ERRORS, ILL FIX EM)

its currently early in december, parts of snow falling down into their sewer home, the heater being on 24/7 along with the house being relatively tidy. young donnie was the first to wake up from the sleep pile, stretching his short arms whilst yawning.

he rubs his eyes as he scooches his way out from underneath leo, stretching his little legs now. he fixed his glasses and walks to the kitchen, his footsteps being really quiet.

before he walks in, splinters up on a chair hanging up tinsel around the cupboards making sure his secure in his placement. he ties small bows at the end of each row trying to make the kitchen look more decent. he slowly gets off, folding it and putting the chair back in place underneath the island.

he gets startled as he turns around, a small donnie appearing in front of him his eyes half open. "ah, hello my son." splinter chuckles, a hand covering his mouth. donnie rubs his eyes once more (making sure his glasses dont fall off), he stumbles over to splinter standing 1inch away from him.

all of a sudden his head flops onto splinters leg, his arm slowly goes up pointing at the tinsel on the cupboards. "whats that?" he asks tiredly trying not the yawn.

splinter softly sighs with a smile, as he picks up donnie he walks out of the kitchen to surprise donnie that the whole lair is decorated. once donatello processes what he's seeing, he quickly jumps off and runs around the large room, a huge christmas tree in the corner with fake snow underneath, tinsel with red, green and white are hung around the dome shaped room.

donnies eye lit up from the sight, mimicking the christmas lights wrapped around random objects everywhere. "W-WOAH! T-T-THIS IS SO COOL!" his smile widens ear to ear, his forearms flapping around in happiness. "j-just wait until mikey s-sees this!!!" he screeches excitement, rushing to the living room where the four turtles slept.

he immediately rushes back onto leos shell, not caring if he hurts him (a little) and shakes a sleeping mikey, lifting up his shell and placing it on the ground. "m-mikey, mikey! wake up!" he repeats over and over, not stopping until the youngest has awoken.

his limbs pop out from his shell, slowly stretching as he sits up to look at donnie whos on his knees, rocking bath and fourth smiling. mike tilts his head in confusion, blinking rapidly a few times. he rubs them quickly questioning his brother, "whats up, don..?" donnies hands make its way onto mikeys shoulders, shaking him vigorously.

"pops decorated the lair! and oh my gosh it looks so cool, and fluffy, and cozy, and even more fluffy!" he stops rambling and grabs mikeys arm, quickly getting up from his knees and runs out of the living room making there way to the dome shaped room where all rooms connect.

mikeys eyes slowly widen in shock, yet again another mutant turtle finally sees the decorated lair. this time its michael grabbing donnies arm, swiftly running to the christmas tree placed in the corner, looking at the fake snow on the floor jumping excitedly. hurriedly sitting down, he starts to play with the fake snow which has a kinetic sand texture. donnie just plopped himself down next to him not wanting to be touching any weird textures right now.

around thirty minutes later, raph came in with a sleepy leo on his shoulders. raphs eyes widen from the view, decorations scattered neatly around the room. he walks cautiously to his two brothers, looking around the room to see every detail in his presence. leo jumps off raphs shell, walking into the middle twirling around like he's wearing an amazing dress and showing it off, but instead he's looking up at all the decorations looking amazed.

"woahhhh! donnie stepping on my shell was worth it to see this." he jumps waving his arms in the air in the spot in he was. the three walk behind a squealing leo, young raph putting a hand on his shoulder. "but why has papa done all of this? its just december."

splinter walked out from the kitchen like it was on cue, holding a tray of four cups of hot cocoa and cookies. his eyes dart to the four happy and curious turtle in the centre, his eyebrows raise as he realise they dont know what the special occasion is. splinter smiles softly to himself as he walks to them, placing the tray on the floor and crosses his legs.

"come sit down, my sons" he says warmly, the turtles obey and slightly shuffle around to sit down, raph facing opposite to splinter, the twins on his left and mikey on his right. "ooo wait, is it story time?!" mikey asks waving his arms up in the air, then flopping them down onto his knees. splitner nods, "you guessed it." he chuckles.

"the reason i have decorated the house with all of these decors, is because its a very special holiday that happens each year, december 25th." donnies head pops up, his fake eyebrows raising. "o-oh! i remember seeing that on a calendar s-somewhere. i think its i-its called crisptmas?"
"christmas."
"yeah that!..." he pouts crossing his arms.

splinter softly laughs as he refills his hot cocoa. mikey pops up just like his brother, realising that they dont really know what this new holiday is yet. "is it the same as halloween?" he asks curiously, scratching the back of his head. splinters stare glances to mikey processing that he never actually explained what the holiday was.

"ah right, christmas is when people share gifts to their family or friends. it is mostly about love and spending time together with the people you love, but it also is about the really cool meals the elders make! its very confusing to get at first, so its kind of like halloween but more snowy and... decoraty?" he says the end in confusing loosing words on how to explain what christmas is. the turtles mostly got the jift of it, although they're still confused of most parts.

"a mysterious man delivers the nice kids tons of presents on christmas eve, so the night before christmas day. his name is santa, he uses his magic reindeer to travel across the world from the north pole."

leo eyes sparkle, getting up and running over to his father shaking him veraciously. "ohmigoshohmigosh papa we have to catch him!" he jumps up and down, his bandana bouncing. splinter sighs with a slight smile, rubbing the bridge of his nose with his fingers. "leonardo thats not how it works. he only comes when you're sleeping because he's not supposed to be seen!" he chuckles putting a hand on leos shoulder to try to lower the bouncing but not to stop him fully as he knows leos excited.

leon stops jumping on the spot but instead starts to sway from tiptoe to heel, his arms following his whole body's movement. raph gets up and sneaks behind leo, grabbing his waist and spins him around in the air, creating giggles from him. "dont worry lil' bro! im sure we'll see him someday."

he places him down slowly, careful not to harm him. mikey runs behind raph holding onto one of his spikes, clutching onto it as he leans forwards like on a monkey bar about to jump. "tell us more papa!"
