Every year on the server, around Christmas time, pranks seemed to increase in number. Stress couldn't figure out why for the life of her as she finished putting the final touches on the Secret Santa booth for the year. Then it hit her, quite literally in fact, someone had run into her talking about what kind of prank the would pull on their Secret Santa.

Stress fell the the ground with a small oof and looked up, Iskall had an apologetic smile on his face as he held out his hand and Mumbo was behind him. He must have been the one Iskall was talking to.

"Sorry 'bout that Stress," He helped her up and they started a small conversation.

"It's alright, I was just finishing up the Secret Santa booth for this year! What do you think?" She waved her hands infront of a red and green striped box with a yellow bow on the top. Two dispensers were sitting in the box, a button between them.

"It looks amazing! What's the second dispenser for though?" Stress beamed at the compliment, quickly answering Iskall's question.

"I figured we'd have themed gifts this year!"

"Oh that's brilliant Stress!" Mumbo complimented, earning another smile from the pink lady.

"Thank you! Wanna give it a go?" Both men nodded and Iskall was first to press the button, the two dispensers shooting out a peice of paper each. Iskall picked them up and read them over.

Ren. Snowman.

"Ooo, I've got ideas for this one! Mumbo, your turn!" Iskall moved out of the way and stood next to Stress, Mumbo walked over and pressed the button, reading over the papers he smiled aswell.

Stress. Thankful.

"This one is going to be brilliant!" Mumbo had ideas running through his head on what he could do. "Okay Stress! You give your creating a go!"

"Oh, I think I'll do it later. I just can't keep a secret so I'll do it when people aren't around," She giggled as the two guys nodded.

"Makes sence, have a good day! We've gotta go work on Pacific!" Iskall and Mumbo waved as they took off into the air.

*saut de temps*

It was now Christmas Eve, everyone was gearing up to leave their Secret Santa presents. Stress had gotten TFC and Cozy, so she had made a batch of fresh cookies and had a thermos of peppermint hot chocolate. She was gonna leave them on his table with a note and a few diamonds.

Mumbo was putting together a shulker box with pink terracotta, loads of dispensers, lots of different renamed items, and a few signs. He was going to build a large rectangle, with dispensers equally space and a button underneath it to activate it. He would have a sign at the beginning read, I am thankful for you this Christmas season because... then each dispenser would release an item. A Notch apple that says, you're kind. A diamond that says, you're a great friend. A netherite hoe that says, you can take a joke. And a curse of binding Mumbo head that says, you're quite easy to prank :). He knew that she would enjoy the joke. And once she took the structure down she would discover more complimenting items! It was perfect.

Iskall was out in a snowy biome, trying not to freeze as he gathered enough snow for the giant sith snowman he was going to build. Hopefully pushing this off to the last second wouldn't be too bad. In the center of the snowman would be a few shulkers of the different materials Ren uses often in his base. Iskall had already collected everything, except the snow.

Stress landed at the entrance to TFC's base, she knocked on the door and waited.

"Who- Oh, hi Stress! What brings you here?" He opens the door and invited her in.

"Merry Christmas TFC! You were my Secret Santa!" She held out the plate of cookies and the thermos. "I brought you fresh cookies and some coco! It's peppermint flavored!" He smiled as he took the plate and thermos.

He set it on the table and turned back to her, "Thank you, I'm sure it's delicious."

"I was gonna add a cute mug, but I wasn't able to get it in time. I'll bring it to you when I have it."

"It's perfect without the mug too," He gave her a hug, which she returned. They sat at the table eating cookies and talking late into the night.

Mumbo was setting up Stress' present outside her base. Hoping she wouldn't return from wherever she went and see him. Quickly filling the dispensers, he wrote the sign at the beginning and signed it. Taking off quickly so he wouldn't be caught.

When he landed he found a red shulker in the middle of the the floor. Opening it up, a small note fluttered to the ground.

Dear Mumbo,
The barge Secret Santa Service has delivered your secret santa mystery box! Follow the clue to get your next box!

Looking in the box he saw it was full of white concrete. Exactly what he needed to finish up some incomplete  parts of the base. In the center there was a diamond that was renamed to the clue.

Where the stache meets the sea. The mayoral race HQ! Mumbo took off and immidietly turned back, realizing he could take the nether.

Iskall landed at Ren's strange lava terrain and looked for a spot where the snow wouldn't melt. He'd watched the werewolf leave heading towards Mumbo's base, but he really could be going anywhere. Iskall decided he would build it in the jungle just outside of Ren's base. Quickly building up the giant snowman, adding a black cloak to make it a sith snowman, he hollowed out the middle and added the shulker boxes he collected. Quickly returning to his base to find a netherite block ontop of his Diamond pile. It had a sigh witha message on it.

Find all five hidden in your base -Doc

Easter egg hunt at Christmas! Even better! Iskall immidietly went on the hunt for the four others.

Deciding to supervise everything, X was flying around the server. It was a good ways into the after noon and he'd seen some people either running around trying to repair, or leaving gifts, and some on different quests.

It was quite entertaining and he was glad he had such a great community that loved eachother like this.

Ay! Second one done! I don't like this one as much as I do the first one, it just seems a bit awkward. But other then that I think I did okay.

As usual have a lovely day/night and know you are loved! <3
