Tmnt Mother Scenarios: Book 1

When You Celebrate Christmas

The turtles are 3 in this story, the boys and Vivian will be their normal ages next chapter...

It's the middle of December, and you and Splinter know the holidays are quickly approaching. Soon it will be Christmas!

You haven't yet told your little tots about Christmas yet, because they just turned 3 and have just learned to walk.

So, this year is the first year you will celebrate Christmas with your children! You know for sure they'll be excited!

"Boys, come here please sweeties." You call, and four little ones toddle in with curiosity.

"Mummy!" They say, wanting to be picked up. You pick up Leo and Raph and put them in your lap. Splinter holds Donnie and Mikey.

"Boys, do you know what Christmas is?" You ask just to make sure. They shake their heads and say no.

"What's Cwismas?" Mikey asks, slightly mispronouncing the word, making you laugh.

"Christmas is a very important holiday that will be happening very soon, a few days even." Splinter explains.

"Howiday?" Raphie murmurs, looking up at you with his green orbs full of curiosity.

"Yes Raphie, that's right." You praise. "What happens?" Leo asks in wonder, making all of them start talking at once.

"Well, if you boys are very good at this time of year, you will all get presents on Christmas morning." You explain.

Donnie immediately stands up, wobbling a little. "I'm a very good boy mummy!" He says. "I'm always a good boy!"

You laugh and hug him. "Yes Donnie, you are a good boy and the rest of you are too." You say.

"Mummy?" Mikey asks. "Where the pwesents come fwom?" You smile and exchange glances with Splinter.

"A man called Santa Clause brings them, when you four go to bed on the night before Christmas, when you wake up they're will be presents." Splinter says.

That makes all their eyes widen. "Presents, presents!" They all cheer, getting louder and louder.

You gently quiet them and smile. "That's right boys, but only if you're all good little boys." You say happily.

They agree. "Mummy, what presents will we get?" Raph asks. "Anything you want, sweetheart." You say honestly.

That makes them happy and they cheer. "When Cwismas coming?" Mikey asks. "5 days." You reply.

"Yayyy, pwesents!" Donnie cheers. "I wuv Christmas!" He says, looking up at you.

You laugh and pull out a large box full of decorations, as well as a small Christmas tree that they can reach and decorate.

"What's that?" Leo asks, eying the colorful, shiny balls and mysterious green, prickly bush.

"This is a Christmas tree, my son and these are ornaments, we use them to decorate the tree." Splinter answers, smiling.

They are immediately interested, grabbing colorful balls with hooks and red, sparkly garland. You smile and make sure to put away all the breakable ones.

"Mummy, why are we putting this stuff on the twee? And why do we have a twee in our house?" Raph asks, as he picks up a star.

"It's just something that we to during Christmas, all the presents you get will go under here like magic!" You say.

You show them how to place the ornaments on the tree and they instantly catch on, placing them all, as high as they can reach.

However, Mikey accidently drops an orange ball he was holding, and it shatters on the ground. Oops. You missed one!
