Chapter 16 - We Wish You A Merry Christmas!

*THIS CHAPTER HAS A POV CHANGE!* *TINKU'S POV*

I woke up to my twin brother poking me in the ribs. I just growled at him and expected him to go away. However, he just kept poking me until I talked to him.

"What do you want now Michael?" I grumbled at Micheal, he poked me again, so I turned around to face him.

"It's CHRISTMAS! There are presents under the tree, and it's snowing!" He yelled in excitement. I have to admit, I smiled and told him to get out because I was going to get changed into something a little warmer.

I changed into a pure black shirt, gray sweat pants, and I put on my dusty purple colored flannel. I calmly went downstairs, ate breakfast, and I sat by the fireplace, where the tree was. My brother sat down next to me, and my father gave me my little sister to hold. My little sister is still a little toddler, but I held her away from the Christmas tree nonetheless.

"Thank you for holding Elizabeth, Tinku. Why don't you go ahead and give out the presents?" My father suggested. I picked a present at random, it said, 'To Elizabeth, From Tinku'. I smiled slightly, I opened the present for Elizabeth, and it was a little circus clown doll. I gave Elizabeth the doll, and she gave the doll a little squeeze.

I picked up another present, it read, 'To William A. From Carol'. It was to my father from my mum. I gave my father the present, and he smiled at mum. She smiled back, and I felt so happy for them. My father opened the present, and he beamed (smiled very big), and he showed us the present, it was a picture of all of us, including my friends and their parents. We all looked so happy in the picture, I realized that our camera had caught Meyuki in mid-laugh, she's so pretty. Wait, what am I thinking, I don't like/love Meyuki!

The next present was for my mum, it said it was from my father. I handed the present to my mum, and she opened it. She smiled as she showed us a pair of long, white lacy gloves. I could tell that she was genuinely happy about her present, even though she didn't speak. The present must've been too good to describe with words.

The next present was for Evan (Middle Child), and it was the present I had gotten him! I handed it to him, and he gave me a small, but genuine, smile. I returned his gesture with a small smile. He opened it, and it was a FredBear plushie.

"I hope you like it, I had to ask father like, 10 times for him to get one," I told Evan. He ran up to me, and he hugged me tightly.

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is exactly what I wanted!" He cheered. I saw Michael chuckle, and I gave him the, 'Shut up', look. He shut himself up, and I smiled. I returned Evan's hug, and he ran back to his chair, hugging his FredBear plushie.

"I believe that this is your present Michael, here you go! It's from father, so it must be something to do with an animatronic," I whispered in Michael's ear. He held back a laugh, and I handed him his present. I already knew what it was, of course, I had helped father pick it out for Michael.

Michael opened his present, and he beamed. He held up what he had gotten. It was a Foxy (fox animatronic) mask made by father! Michael immediately put the mask on, and he ran over to father and gave him a hug, which he returned.

I picked up the last present, and it was to me, from everyone in my family. I gave everyone in the room a smile, and I opened the present. It was an old picture, but it looked like it had just been cured (a process where you get the image in the photo to show up). The people in the photo were Meyuki, Mihi, Minx, and me. However, there was someone else in the photo. Rachel, our best friend, who had gone missing just last year. She was Minx's older sibling, but she was only 3 years older than the rest of us. She had dusty red hair, and she had bright emerald green eyes. I smiled at the picture, knowing that I was going to hang it on my bedroom wall.
