DISCLAIMER I DO NOT OWN TMNT

Mikey's POV

Christmas is in two days. I can't wait. April and I are hanging decorations. Casey is bringing in the tree. Leo and Donnie are trying to bake cookies without burning the house down. Raph is up in his room being a Christmas grouch. I do wish Master Splinter was here though. Back in NYC we always used to listen to carolers through the sewer grates and made me so happy. I start putting ornaments on the tree. This is going to be a great Christmas.

Christmas Eve is here. Raph is still in his room and we just finished putting up the decorations. April and Casey are driving to the store to get food for Christmas dinner. Donnie and Leo are making hot chocolate for us and they tell me to go get Raph.

"Raph can I come in." I say to the door.

"No go away Mikey." Raph yells.

"I am coming in." I open the door and see Raph on his bed staring at the ceiling. Something is wrong, I can just tell.

"Mikey go away." Raph says this in a quiet hurt voice.

"Raphie what is wrong?" I ask using the name for him I came up with as a kid.

"Today is Christmas Eve Mikey and we are celebrating without Master Splinter." he says sounding hurt.

"Master Splinter will always be with us bro, he always will be here."

I can see his eyes filled with tears and he hugs me he actually hugs me and I hug him back.

We go downstairs together and we see April and Casey are back. We all have Christmas Eve dinner then go to bed.

Today is Christmas. Today is about joy in the world. We all go downstairs and I see a few presents under the tree. We all look out the window and see snow. I run outside and everyone runs after me. We make snow angels and snowman. Raph even starts a snowball fight. I am so glad everyone is happy while being here on our first Christmas at the farm house.
