It's a Brotherful Life! A Max & Ruby Christmas Special

This is a fanfic of one of my favorite shows, "Max & Ruby," as well as a tribute/spoof to the 1946 holiday classic "It's a Wonderful Life".

Ruby has always enjoyed arts and crafts, baking, project making, and all activities fun and creative, and Christmas is no exception! The only obstacle she ever has to face is her little brother Max, whose shenanigans always get in the way, but ultimately help her in trying to accomplish her goals. That is until Christmas Eve, where his rowdy behavior with the help of his toys do the exact opposite of help. Ruby is known for her golden patience, but tonight is different. In fact, she is so upset she angrily wishes she never had a brother! [this is before Grace and Oliver were born] For the first time, Max's kind, loving, and forgiving sister not only has been pushed over her limit, but seems to have lost her way. Fortunately, her guardian angel Emerald is here to help, and she devises a plan to get Ruby back on the right moral path and appreciate the wonderful gift she has been blessed with- her little brother Max, but will it work?

[DISCLAIMER]: While I designate this and have written this in the format of a Max & Ruby episode (more like a special), there is stuff in here that you wouldn't find in a typical Max & Ruby episode. There is emotion, there is crying, but in the end, it is still a Max & Ruby episode in my eyes, so if you don't agree with this style and content then you do not have to read it. But please don't waste your keystrokes on typing up criticism on how you think this is not how a Max & Ruby episode should be. That is your opinion. If this does not apply to you then enjoy reading :)
