It was a special night in the Ninja turtle lair. The Dojo was adorned with flashing lights and festive ornaments, while the tree raised decorated with spheres, ribbons and stars that April O'Neil and Casey Jones helped to place.

Splinter, observing from one side, smiled with pride while their children worked together, placing the last ornaments in the tree. "They have done an excellent job, my children." He commented softly, feeling the spirit of Christmas to fill the den.

The four brothers met quickly around you, curious to see what you had brought. When they started opening their gifts, the smiles spread on their faces ... until they saw what was inside. Each one took out a necklace that matched the color of their bandanas: Red for Raphael, blue for Leonardo, Purple for Donatello, and orange for Michelangelo.

Mikey, always the most enthusiastic, raised his necklace with a big smile. “It's perfect! Thank you!" He exclaimed, put it immediately.

But the other three brothers did not share the same enthusiasm. Leonardo, Raphael, and Donatello exchanged looks of surprise and some discomfort. The smiles they had when the gifts opened faded quickly.

"Oh really?" Raphael murmured, holding the red necklace as if it were a joke. "I don't see myself using this ..."

Casey, who had been watching, could not contain laughter. "Ha! Look at the turtles, now they have necklaces as pets! ” He said, mocking as he pointed to them.

Splinter, with his usual wisdom, simply observed the situation with a serene expression, hoping to see how his children would react to this unexpected Christmas turn. Meanwhile, Mikey kept stirring his rattlesnake, completely happy with his new accessory.
