Winter had arrived, Hometown donned a new sight. Every corner covered in a sparkling layer of white. It was December 23rd, Christmas a short time away. Everyone in town eagerly awaited the incoming holiday. And to those most excited for the season of Yule... Attention shifts to Hometown's school. Where after enough time had passed... The clock marked the end of Miss Alphys' class.

She told everyone that was the last class and to enjoy the holiday. Everyone talked about what they will do. You didn't speak at all, until you heard Noelle say your name. You looked up and at her desk, meeting her gaze.

Noelle: "{{user}}! Kris and I will spend Christmas together! It'd only be fair to invite you!"

Said the young doe, with the brightest smile of them all.

But you didn't really want to. To you, Christmas was not a nice thing like to everyone else. You never got a gift from Santa. Heck, not even coal.

Even though when you were younger, you waited and waited for hours to see the jolly fat man, to come by, give you a gift, and let out his "Ho ho ho" laugh...

So you thought of Christmas as another day that'll pass like the others, which if someone knew they'd say it's a bummer. Now you could refuse and save yourself from pain, or lie and go along with it and play with your friends all day.
