(I think Charm is the only one left, but LNS has been a little sporadic lately)
Sherbet jumped when Razz said they could open it and started to tear haphazardly at the paper. Kail moved off to the side to watch with a smile - this year wouldn't be so bad not at home.

Razz helped the foals tear at the paper, looking just as excited as they were (if not more so). When they finally got to the box underneath, he opened the big flap and presented the inside. At first it looked like a colorful pile of blankets with fuzzy edging, but as Razz pulled the first one out they could see it was a big floppy pillow pony almost the size of the babies themselves. He gave the purple one to Gumdrop. "Here, I think this one should be for you," he said. "There's one for everyone and then some, so just take whichever one you want. Then everyone will have a pillow." He had run out of regular pillows and this was all he had left in the shop. He figured they would do just as nicely for the foals.

Sherbet squealed in delight as she saw the giant pillows. She dug around until she came up with one that was orange like her, with bright pink hair - that was her pillow for sure! She hugged it and tried dragging it across the floor but kept tripping over its legs. Finally she got it to her cot and ran back over to Razzarroo, hugging his leg hard. "Thank you Razz, you are the most awesomest pony ever!" Kail laughed at the sight and shook her head. (hehe, and nice photo - before I read it I was trying to figure out which foal the purple one was supposed to be )

Razz looked down at Sherbert and smiled as big as the moon. (I had just gotten those about the time Gumdrop was going on and on about purple stuff and so I couldn't resist...) Fluttershy eventually brought Sky Feathers back in and the foal seemed suddenly quite interested in all the commotion. Razz gave her a big blue floppy pillow pony with a colorful mane and tail. She seemed a bit scared of it at first, but then started poking it and pulling at its ears. Then she sat down on it and began chewing on its tail.

((*waves* Dreamers still here! ^-^' and I love the piccy silverfall.))
Dreamer opened his eyes, a tingling feeling raced down his spine; a warning. Something had happened...
Shaking the thought aside, he stifled a yawn and got up watching the sleeping baby green pegasus. His green eyes darted around the room; didn't look like Gabriel had come back afterall, but he was certain that the other alicorn be back soon. Also, it looked like Dreamer would have to find Moony quick like, the Festival of Lights was tomorrow and the gift would only work for that day.
He glanced at the presents and grinned; Charm would most likely love this. Why? Most little foals did.
He nuzzled Charm gently, murmuring to her. "Time to wake up... there's a surprise waiting for you."

(You rock!!! I love the photo!) The young filly squealed and hugged the giant pony, and then hugged Razz. She tackled it and started wrestling with it. She sat on top of it when she was finished and panted a small 'Thankyou' to Razz. She dragged it across the floor to show Kail. "Look! Look! Mr Purple gave me a big pony. It's coloured like me!" She squealed, pointing to her hair.

Somehow the little pegasus had managed to sleep through all of the commotion. Hearing Dreamer's voice eyes slowly opened. Blinking once or twice her blurred vision cleared and she smiled.
He had said something. Something about a surprise. Sitting up she tilted her head to one side like a puppy, wondering what he was talking about.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The sun had set and still the pink earthling was outside working to finish decorating the tree. An ornament here, a bit of tinsel there and soon it was looking like something her family had done once. Smiling she deemed it finished. Unable to take her eyes from the sparkling tree she sat in a daze staring at it.
Mittens awoke with a start not remembering having fallen asleep. Glancing about she could hear various ponies out and about wishing one another a joyous holiday. Pushing the sled underneath the tree, she grinned. Hopefully the children would enjoy it as much as she had when she was younger.
Stretching she worked out every kink in her body. Tossing pink and white hair to one side she breathed in the crisp morning air. Today was beautiful. A smile tugged at her mouth as she trotted to the backdoor. Turning the handle she stepped inside.
Without warning she sang out, "Seasons Greetings one and all!"
This was truly her favorite time of year. There was something magical about it.

Swirl watched the present opening commotion happily, and when she saw what Razz had brought she actually got a little watery eyed. She quickly bent over the table with a pen and some paper, her shimmery pink hair obscuring her face. She frowned, looking unusually stressed out. She remembered how thankful she had been that the previous chaos had left most babies with parents. And NOW orphans. It made her nervous, like something bad was happening under her nose and she hadn't noticed. Sherbet....temporarily ours to spoil as we see fit. Goody Gumdrop.... appears to have a kitten? a small white baby?? red headed flutter baby?? ...does not seem sad Gliterlilly...keep an eye onSwirl paused, then angrily tapped her pen.

Crystal's eyes flicked up to Strawberry Swirl. She could sense how she was feeling, especially Swirl's anger.
She got up and strode over to the mare, hoping that somehow, she would be able to help calm her, though it was a little ironic, as she was a goddess of anger.
"Hey, we'll get through this easily. The more the merrier, that's what you said back in the chocolate shop yesterday."

Charm was beyond happy to see Dreamer. Standing up she crouched down like a kitten about to attack a sibling. Wiggling slightly she smiled sweetly up at the alicorn.
Turning her head first one way and than another she noticed that Gabriel wasn't back yet. He hadn't wandered into the woods where the 'thing' lived had he? Charm huddled in a ball on the bed terrified. What if it got him too?

Kail gave a small laugh and patted Gumdrops head, "yes it is dear." The little ones were all so excited - it made Kail very happy to see. She gave a quick smile to Razz, "looks like you just became the most popular stallion around with the 5 and under club."
Suddenly Mittens burst through the door with a cheery 'Seasons Greetings' and Kail couldn't help but laugh again. "Happy Fest Eve!" she smiled back.
Sherbet had finally let go of Razz's leg and went back out to the cot to get her giant pillow pony. She couldn't figure out a good way to carry it though, so she dragged it across the ground by its tail.

Gumdrop nodded. "Yes, yes, yes!" ( ;D) She dragged her big pony over to Sherberts, where she asked what she was going to call hers.
A small purple kitten emerged from the large mass of fake purple hair.

Dreamer smiled back at the little pegasus and gave his tail a small flick. He turned his head around to ask Razz which gift was for Charm until he noticed the young foal huddle into a ball.
"Hey." Dreamer turned to her, brushing back the red fringe behind his ears so he could see Charm with both green eyes. "Don't worry. Nothing bad happened to Gabriel. If something did, I would of known by now." He gave the foal a gentle, reasuring smile. I know he's alright...
"Com'on," He continued. "Let's see what Razz has for you."
((did I spell "reasuring" right?))

Swirl smiled thankfully to Crystal. She leaned over and whispered, "I don't have much experience with children. For 10 years I never saw anyone under the age of 9...they look so...fragile..."

(reassuring)
Razz was digging through the box looking at all the various stuffed ponies that were still inside.
"Come on, Charm," he said merrily. "You can pick whichever one you like."
