Hey guys. This is my Christmas story. It's going to be separated into three parts. Merry Christmas to all of you! I hope you like it.

"Cole, where did you put the ornaments?" Kai shouted from the attic.

"I don't know!" Cole replied, "I've got to go. Zane and I are doing some last minute shopping!"

"Jay, can you come help me then?" Kai smirked.

"You, you mean go up there in, in the att-tic?" Jay shuttered.

"You're not telling me you're scared to go up there are you?" Nya rolled her eyes as she and Lloyd stood up on step latter's trying to pin garland to the ceiling.

"Of-ofcourse not!" Jay trembled as he attempted climbed the stairs. This wasn't so bad, was it? Anyways, it meant he could have two minutes alone to talk with Kai about something rather important.

"Why don't you look on that side and I'll look on this side," Kai suggested.

Jay opened a chest and sent moth balls rolling across the floor releasing their stench into the stuffy room. No ornaments in there.

"Hey Kai, can I ask you something?" Jay finally stirred up the courage to ask.

"No, I wasn't the one who put the purple hair dye in your shampoo!" Kai blurted out, "it was Lloyd."

"What?" Jay held a confused look on his face.

"Sorry, I wasn't supposed to tell you that. Lloyd put purple hair dye in your shampoo if you didn't already pick up on that. What were you going to ask?"

"Well I, well I. Uhh... how do you say this? I uhh wanted to make sure..."

"That it was okay with me if you propose to Nya? Sure. I trust you," Kai said.

"How did you know what I was going to ask?" Jay raised his eyebrows.

"It was obvious," Kai shrugged and continued searching for the ornaments.

Meanwhile, at the mall...

"What do you think I should get Pixal?" Zane asked as the two boys wandered around the jewelry section with no idea what they were doing.

"How should I know? What should I get for hothead?" Cole replied.

"How about more shrivel?" Zane suggested.

"I think I'll do that. What are you getting him?"

"A life jacket. His lessons with Sensei Wu didn't go so well. Our messed up swim lessons machine Jay made went better than his."

"He really is a lost cause!" Cole chuckled, "now what should I get Lloyd?"

"So have you picked out a ring yet?" Kai asked.

"I have one in mind."

Zane and Cole bounded through the door as the others sat down.

"Five more days then presents!" Lloyd said with a touch of thrill.

"Christmas isn't just about presents you know," Sensei Wu sighed from the next room over, "it used to be all about the birth of Jesus, but it's become so commercialized that the real meaning has been forgotten.

"What do you mean? We don't forget about why we celebrate Christmas. We read the Bible passage every Christmas eve!" Kai protested.

"There's a whole lot about Christmas you have been forgetting. In fact, why don't I show you just what."

The sun began to rise as six shepherds woke up along the path they had spent the night at.

"Where are we?" Zane asked and rubbed his eyes.

"I don't know," Cole yawned.

"Oh no! This is bad bad bad! Sensei was going to show us what we were forgetting and then we woke up here! We are so hooped!" Jay rambled, "what if we can't get back? How are we supposed to celebrate then?"

"What if that's the point?" Lloyd questioned, "I vote we ask whoever we see first where we are and figure things out from there."

"I'm with Lloyd on this one," Nya shrugged.

An hour or so later, a few men dressed in uniform marched by.

"Excuse us sirs. We're lost. Can you please tell us where exactly we are?"

"Look at them!" One of the soldiers snorted, "those filthy shepherds are trying to get some money out of us!"

"You're in the outskirts of Bethlehem. Most of the hotels and a mile that way, but don't count on getting in one."

A mile and a half later, the ninja had quit trying to get into hotels and eventually were accepted into a stable where they could rest as long as they helped see to the flocks come nightfall.

The ninja got up alongside the other shepherds and hurried out to the fields where they watched the sheep graze in the night until a bright light appreciated in the sky.

"Do not be afraid for I bring good news..."

There's chapter one. This is fun to write. I'm really excited to have a Christmas story up. This took a while to write. Hope you enjoyed it.
