Children + hermitcraft + Christmas = ultimate wholesome

Also this includes my headcanon of Cub pretending to be Santa every year.

It was around 2 AM on Christmas morning that xB woke up to the sound of knocking. And, considering that it was probably by child Keralis, he got up, opening his room's door.

'Exxxy bee bee! Exxy bee bee! it is it rissus yet?'

'Christmas? Uhh... not yet,' he replied, stifling a yawn. 'I'm sure if you rest some more it'll be Christmas!'

'Awwwwww... Do we is Sasawamamamy coming over for rissymussy?'

'We're going to spawn where there's a huge Christmas party.'

'Now?!'

'No! Go back to sleep!'

'Awwwww... exxybeebee I wanna has a rissus paty nowwwwwwwww!'

'Well...' xB picked up Keralis. 'I heard that if you sleep really really well on Christmas Eve, you get even more presents on Christmas day!'

'Really?'

'Yeah! So... are you going to go back to bed then?'

'Yeah yeah yeah! I wanna wanna most sleeperested hemit!'

'Then let's get you back to bed.'

On the other side of the server, and a few hours later, Scar sprinted, exhausted, into Scarland, dressed as Santa. As Cub was now too small and had forgotten most of his adult life, it was up to him to continue the illusion of Santa being real. Which involved flying around the whole server giving presents to everyone and putting up decorations.

Inside, Cub was still (thankfully) asleep. But in his tiredness, Scar stepped on the one creaky step. He froze, as Cub's bedroom door opened and he heard his child's voice.

'Ucle Scar is it crimmus?'

'Ho ho ho!' Scar had to reply in the deepest voice he could muster. A gasp back.

'SANA??'

As much as Scar knew little Cub's antics, nothing could prepare him for his child hurling himself down the stairs and hugging him.

'SANA SANA HAVE I BEENED A GOOD CUB? HAVE- HAVE I GOT PESENTS?'

'You were a wonderful child this year!' Scar replied, hugging back and trying not to fall down the stairs.

'Really??? Do- do you got Unle Scar pwesen too cuz he's the bestest bestest Hermit EVER!'

'Scar got presents as well.'

'An- an did Joellie get pwesen too? Cuz he's MEAN!'

Scar's Santa-act faltered.

'Joel got a very very small present.' He explained, not entirely untruthfully. 'You and Grian got the biggest presents.'

'Really?! Can- can I see your sleigh? And- and Rudolph? Is he outside? Can- can I ride in your sleigh, Sana? I pwomise to be really really good and quiet so you don't get caughted by anyone else!'

'I just need to give Scar his presents, then I'll let you see Rudolph.' Scar had to excuse himself by saying, trying to free himself from little Cub's hug.

'I LOVE YOU SANA!' Cub didn't let go. 'I'm gonna telling all my fends I saw Sana and... And Rudolph... And and it was AMAZIN!'

'Why thank you, Cub! But I need to give Scar his presents now!'

'Can- can I helping? Pease Sana PEASE!'

'I already told you I'd let you see Rudolf, ok?'

'Ok...' Cub finally let go, clearly slightly disappointed. 'I love you, Sana!'

'I love you too, Cub... Now let me give Scar his presents and I'll let you stroke Rudolph.'

'Seed you soon Sana!'

'Bye now!'

And Scar ran off.

'I SAWED SANA!' Cub declared as he arrived at the Christmas party with Scar the next day. 'I SAWED SANA AND HE LET ME STOKE RUDOPH IT WAS SO COOOOOL!'

'Alright now, Cub. You don't want to make the other Hermits jealous now do you?' Scar laughed, having gotten 2 hours of sleep, but had enjoyed watching Cub's excitement at seeing Rudolph (a horse with reindeer antlers on). 

'HAPPY CIMMUS CUB!' Grian squealed, hugging him before giving over a present. Cub hugged back.

'Scar! Scar! Can I gived Gian his pesen too?' 

'Of course!'

'HAPPY CRIMMUS GIAN!' Cub handed Grian his own present. 'Did- did you know I saw Sana Yessernight an- an he let me see Rudoph an- an he gave me a hug an- and he said me and you had the mostest presents and Joelly only had a little little pesnet!'

'Woaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh... what did he look like?'

'Well- well he was big, an he had a fuffy beard and- an red clothes an an he did really really good hugs like... like dis...' Cub hugged Grian as tight as he could. 'But a hundred hundred millibillion times better!'

'You believe in SANA?! SANA'S NOT REAL!' Joel interrupted. Grian blew a raspberry. 

'Sana sayed YOU got a small pesen!' Cub replied, 'Because you've been a naughty Joellie! An- and Scar sayed I didn't need to get you a peset but I DID.'

Cub shoved a small present into Joel's hands. The normally loud and annoying child was silenced.

'You- you got me a pesen? Why?'

'I wanned to ap-apolologing for being a bad Cub.' Joel unwrapped the present, pulling out a little pack of chocolate coins. 

'Tan-kou.' He smiled, clearly surprised. Cub hugged him and, after a moment, Joel hugged back. 

By this point, all the hermits were there, some also bringing and sharing their own presents. Little Beef (with a lot of help from Jevin) had made everyone a personal TCG super duper rare rare mega card. Cub soothed relations with Scott by giving him a fluffy rainbow llama teddy. Ren was crowning everyone the king of their own base with little gold crowns. Everyone got a present from 'Santa', though most of the children got 2 or 3.

Then, as if it wasn't exciting enough, Pearl figured out how to make it start snowing. Everyone was running about, throwing snowballs and building snowmen. Even Cub, who'd been playing rockets with Grian all morning (he'd got a whole lot of them from 'Santa'), joined in running around and playing in the flurry. Etho decided to give every child sweeties and gave everyone sugar rush. Which meant Xisuma was climbing over everything, Gem, Martyn, Ren were fighting with little swords, Scott started yelling made up quiz questions and Tango decided every answer to was 'SIDOODERELER! which little Skizz was very entertained by.

They had Christmas dinner, pulling crackers and laughing at the rubbish jokes. Cub won 3 times, but gave Ren all his crowns. At 8PM, the adults were insisting it was bed time. Bdubs was already asleep in Sausage's arms and Cub was close too being the same. Mumbo managed to catch Grian running around and around in the snow, but was attacked by Zedaph and Doc's snowball barrage as he did.

But in the end, they all headed back to their bases to sleep after a very fun Christmas day.

Merry Christmas!
