Broccoli Claus

No Broccoli, its a stupid idea, Amaryllis said.

Broccoli looked at Amaryllis and tried to blink away the tears in her eyes.

No, Amaryllis insisted.

But, Broccoli said. Her lower lip wobbled.

Awa, I think its a nice idea? Awen said.

Amaryllis pinched the bridge of her nose. I cant believe were doing this, she said.

Yay! Broccoli cheered, then she glomped Amaryllis for good measure. Im gonna be Santa Claus!

Little Timmy woke up to use the washroom and was on his way back to the room he shared with his brothers when he heard something in the living room. Frowning and rubbing some gunk out of his eyes, he stumbled over to see what was going on.

Ive been alright, Timmy admitted.

... good enough! Here, one for you, and one for each of your siblings! They placed down the presents, then patted their rather flat stomach with an oh-ho-ho!

Uh... thank you? Timmy wasnt sure if he was dreaming or not.

Okay... uh... nice meeting you. I hope you wont lose the sense of wonder if I use the front door to leave?

Go ahead? Timmy asked.

Thanks!

And so the figure picked up their slightly-less-large bag and ambled out.

Timmy looked at the present in his hands, then he pinched himself.
