What is going on in here," Sparkles stomps his hooves and plugs his ears.
The stereo blasted with cheerful holiday music.
"It's Christmastime Sparkles!" Claire started singing Christmas carols at the top of her lungs.
"Oooh that's nice, but what is Christmas?"
Daddy comes up behind both his girl and his unicorn. "Sparkles, Christmas is a holiday to celebrate loving your family and friends just a little bit extra this time of year." Claire starts jumping up and down.
"And and and don't forget about Santa and presents!" "Done forget those Daddy!"
"Of course I won't forget him silly."
Sparkles looks confused again. "Who is Santa?"
Claire pulls up a picture on her phone. "This is Santa!" "He lives at the North Pole and comes down once a year to bring little boys and little girls lots of presents."
Sparkles eyes light up. "Woah woah like actual presents?"
"Yep!" "I got a poly pocket, a video game a board game and lots and lots of candy!"
"Wait!?" "Daddy! Are you Santa?" Sparkles looks puzzled. "He looks just like you!"
"Now now, I am here all the time." "If I were Santa, I would be at the North Pole."
They both start to giggle. "True!"
Sparkles wana know the second best thing?"
"Yeah!"
"It's going to see Santa!" "Telling him what you want and then going home and making cookies afterwards."
"That sounds like so much fun!"
Sparkles starts to pout.
"What's wrong? Claire asks?
"Well, I am magical." "He can't see me."
"Silly Sparkles, so is he!"
"Well what are we waiting for!" "Let's go see the magic man!"
Daddy chuckles, "The mall doesn't open til later today." "Just enough time to help me decorate more."
"Yay." they both scream!
"Daddy can I put up the star?" asked Claire.
"No Clairebear." "You are too small.
Sparkles grabs it before Daddy can say wait. He flies up and gets stuck in the tree and it tumbles down.
"Sparkles!" "Silly mischief making unicorn!"
"Ready guys?"
They both start hopping up and down!
"Remember though, Daddy said. "Giving gifts is so much more fun than getting presents." Here is some Christmas money, but try not to buy gifts for yourselves."
"Thank you Daddy!" "We won't!"
They arrived at the mall and it was decorated ornately. Claire and Sparkles gasped. "Wow!" "Our house isn't this lit up!"
Daddy smirks. "Just you wait!"
Santa was on the second floor.
There were moans and groans coming from the crowd. "Oh no!" The elevators and escalators are out of service!" "What are we gunna do!"
Sparkles eyes started to twinkle. He was so excited. He finally got a chance to help the kids. He carried three to four kids at a time. They started squealing with joy
"weeee!"
He went back and forth until all the kids were in line.
The kids stood in line to see Santa finally.
Santa got off his chair. "Thank you Sparkles!"
Sparkles started to blush. "How how did you know my name?"
"I'm Santa, he winked."
Daddy stood next to Santa and chuckled. "He is a very sweet and friendly unicorn."
"Thank you Sparkles." "The kids can now see me!"
Sparkles transported all the kids back downstairs.
He turned the corner and saw a my little pony sweatshirt with a mane for the hood.
"Omg omg Claire would love this!"
He walked in and threw money on the counter and grabbed the sweatshirt.
He hid her gift behind his back so Claire couldn't see.
They got home and Sparkles threw it under the bed. Sparkles ran up to his Daddy! "You were right!" "It feels so much better to give than get!"
Daddy gives him a great big hug! "I'm so glad you found your Christmas spirit!"
They walk into the kitchen and both gasp at unicorn cookies. "Let's make them festive!"
Claire starts to decorate red and green icing.
Sparkles puts a Santa hat on, but starts to sneeze. Glitter fills the cookies.
"Sparkles!" Claire rolls her eyes. "I will never think of sprinkles and glitters anything other than your boogers."
They all start to laugh.
