It was a cold night in Remnant, and the entirety of team JNPR were spending the holidays at the Arc household. Ren and Nora had nowhere else to go for winter break, and flights to Mistral had been delayed due to inclement weather, leaving Pyrrha stranded in Vale. Jaune's parents had left to pick up some of his sisters from the airport, but ended up stuck there due to snow coverage on the roads. That left the four teens alone in the big house on a late Christmas night. What came next, however, was something none of them had expected.

A loud crash and several breaking vases woke Jaune, Ren and Pyrrha from their slumber, each one grabbing their weapons and rushing downstairs.

"Who's there?" Jaune shouted but didn't receive an answer. The three students snuck down the hallway before glancing into the living room. A small silhouetted figure was on the floor above a large mass, the room too dark to see anything properly.

"Guys! I got the intruder!" Nora shouted from her spot in front of them. Jaune flicked the light switch illuminating the room. Nora was on top of a large man dressed in red, a fluffy white beard on his face and a sack on the floor. The tree was on its side, the coffee table flipped, and his mother's poinsettia pot completely smashed with dirt and leaves stuck in the carpet. The bomber finally got a good look for herself, gasping in horror.

"OH NO!" Nora was practically crying now, moving off of the man and stepping back. "I just killed Santa Clause!"

"That can't be right." Jaune shook his head. "Santa isn't real."

"How could you say that when he's right there?!" Nora pointed at him accusingly.

"A few of my sisters told me when I was ten. Granted that was a traumatizing Christmas, but the fact is he's not real. This is probably some weird thief dressed as him."

"I'm not sure." Pyrrha said while looking through the sack. "It doesn't look like he stole anything. Actually it appears he was dropping things off." She pulled out a gift box wrapped beautifully in green paper with a pretty bow. The package was addressed to Ren.

"Then I really did kill Santa!"

"He's not dead." Ren added while checking the man's wrist for a pulse. "I think you just knocked him out."

"How did he even get in here?" Jaune asked scratching his head in confusion. There were no obvious signs of a breakin. He grabbed a flashlight before getting on his knees. "The windows are locked and the chimneys too narrow for even Nora to slide down." He commented while shining a light up the chute.

"Hey, did anyone hear that?" Pyrrha questioned.

"Hear what-" Jaune shut his mouth when something loud clomped overhead. Everyone gathered their weapons and headed outside, Ren swiftly using a tree to get a better vantage point.

"Hey guys. I think you should see this." Pyrrha and Jaune looked at each other questioningly, but made their way to the rooftop regardless.

"What am I looking at?" Pyrrha questioned the second she saw it, feeling both confused and awed at the same time.

"It's a… sleigh." Ren commented while putting his guns away. It did indeed look like a large sleigh pulled by what appeared to be seven reindeer Grimm. Except the Grimm were a dazzling white colour instead of midnight black, and they didn't give off the same negative energy that normal Grimm did. They acted more like animals, purking up when they noticed the three teens.

"Hey Ren. You didn't add anything extra to the Christmas cookies, right? Nothing that would make us being seeing things perhaps?" Jaune asked just trying to verify what was before him.

"I would do no such thing." Ren sounded almost offended by the question. Pyrrha put her weapon away and examined the vehicle carefully. She stroked the smooth rims of the structure, admiring the mix of old wood and finely crafted metals that made up the sleigh.

"It certainly feels real." She activated her semblance and lifted the sleigh a bit, setting in back down gently. "This is incredible."

"Yeah, that's a good word for it." Jaune commented before one of the reindeer sneeze. He jumped back with a shrill yelp, his cheeks flushing red when Pyrrha started giggling.

"So if Santas unconscious in the living room, who's going to deliver all these presents?" Ren held up a gift from one of the giant bags in the back of the sleigh.

"I'll tell you who!" Everyone turned around to see Nora swimming in a big bundle of red fabric, the cloth hat constantly falling over her eyes and the boots clearly too big. "We're gonna deliver all these gifts ourselves!"

"Very funny Nora." Jaune started laughing but fell silent when Nora didn't join him. "You can't be serious. We can't deliver all of those in one night!" Jaune exclaimed.

"But if the children don't get presents in the morning, wouldn't all that sadness draw more Grimm in?" Pyrrha thought out loud. "We can't risk our mistake getting innocent people hurt."

"What about Christmas being about good will towards your fellow man and all that?" Jaune argued. He didn't want to disappoint anyone honestly but this was such a huge risk with lots of unknowns.

"But Jaaaune!" Nora begged, her eyes doubling in size and her lip becoming pouty. Darn it's hard to say no when she does that. "Alright, let's say we do it. I don't see how we can get all of these delivered to the whole world before people start waking up."

"I don't think we have to." Ren interrupted holding up a large map, a majority of the continents marked off in red. "I think we knocked him out on the tail end of his deliveries."

"That will make this way easier!" Pyrrha mused while patting one of the reindeer gently. The creature shook its head causing the bells on its harness to jingle, an otherworldly chime echoing through their ears.

"Alright! Let's get goi- OOF!" Nora tripped on the billowing red pants she was wearing, falling face first into a snow pile.

"Maybe you shouldn't wear the suit." Ren offered while helping her stand up.

"But someone needs to dress up as Santa! How can we possibly save Christmas if no one is acting as Santa!" Everyone pondered for a moment before their eyes fell on Jaune.

"Why are you looking at me?!" He jolted upon seeing their devious gazes.

"Your the tallest. The suit would fit you best." Ren nodded happy with the decision.

"Plus you're our fearless leader! it's like your made for the role!" Nora exclaimed.

"Please Jaune?" Pyrrha asked placing a hand on her chest hopefully.

"Not you too Pyrrha!" He groaned exasperated. Well, if his team was so dead set on it.

"Fine." Jaune finally sighed. "But you all have to dress up too."

"Way ahead of you!" Nora pulled three elf costumes seemingly out of nowhere, passing them to Ren and Pyrrha while keeping one for herself.

"Wait, did you plan this-"

"NO TIME!" Nora threw the Santa outfit at Jaune knocking him on his back. "Everyone get dressed and ready to go! We leave in five!" She stood triumphantly pointing out at the night sky. "Team JNPR is going to save Christmas!"

Well this is a thing. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas/whatever holiday you celebrate!

This was supposed to be up last week but writers block and life kind of stopped progress. There is more to it in my drafts but I wanted to get it out while it was still close to Christmas.

If anyone wants to see part two let me know.
