It's finally December, so you know what that means. HO HO HO SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN!!!! Bitch, for the next 25 days all I wanna see is people making holiday peppermint sprinkle balls of hot chocolate goodness and thirst traps for Santa Claus. I'm tryna shake my ass for St. Nick!! WHO'S WITH ME?!

First off, thank you bunnieeeeeex  for this:

Now, onto the oneshot!

SUMMARY: Jay and Nya's son believes in Santa Claus, but what does Wu have to say about it? And how do Lloyd and Sensei Garmadon get involved?

"Zane, lunch was great, as usual," Jay praised, interlocking his fingers with his wife, rubbing his full stomach. Nya smiled and nodded in agreement, before patting Fritz's head, "Come on, sweetie, we gotta buy some milk and cookies."

Wu raised an eyebrow, "Why?"

Fritz beamed excitedly as he opened up his storybook, gifted to him by his uncle Kai, "On Christmas Eve, Santa drops through our chimneys and leaves us presents! And in return, we leave him milk and cookies, and carrots for the reindeer!" His happy grin switched to a pout, "Also, uncle Cole and uncle Lloyd finished all the cookies, and uncle Zane took the carrots for cooking."

It took Wu a good few moments to process all of this, as he finally looked up, with a bewildered expression plastered across his face, "What baloney are you teaching your son? Santa isn't real! That's just you two dressed up!"

Jay looked offended, "Are you serious? I wouldn't be seen dead dressed in red!"

Nya sharply nudged her husband, "I really thought you were gonna go after him about the Santa thing, but okay then."

"Oh, right. Sorry. I'll have you know that Santa is very real, with his long white beard, red hat and suit, boots polished to shine and his golden belt! And let's not forget his burlap sack in which he carries all his gifts!"

The elderly man scoffed, his beard swishing around, "Which story book did you swallow down?"

Fritz's mouth was twisted into a small gape, "Daddy? Is Master Wu telling the truth? Is Santa not real?"

Before Wu could interject, Lloyd hastily cut in, "Fritz, Santa is very real indeed! But he only comes to those who believe, and who have been good all year long, and don't stay up past their bedtime."

"So...will Santa not come to you, uncle Lloyd?"

"Um..." Lloyd's face grew red, as Nya slapped a hand over her mouth to stifle her giggle. Instead, Lloyd bent down and swiftly picked up the five year old, "Silly! Santa doesn't visit those over eighteen!"

"What about when I turn eighteen? Will he stop visiting?" His bottom lip trembled, as Lloyd quickly shook his head, "Yes! I mean, no! He'll visit you every single year, even after you turn eighteen!"

"B-But you just said-"

"Hey, tell you what? Wanna try and beat my high score in Prime Empire?" Fritz grinned and nodded, "Yes!" 

Lloyd lightly tapped his nose, before zooming out of the dining room. Both parents immediately turned to face their Sensei, "What was that for?"

"Your son needs to face reality! As far as I'm concerned, Santa isn't real!"

"Yeah, well as far as he's concerned, Santa is a magical human being who delivers presents ready to be opened on Christmas Day!" Sighing, Nya massaged her forehead, "That was the only way we could get him to sleep at night!"

"I'm just telling you-"

Jay stopped Wu, "And we're telling you this: don't tell us how to raise our kid. Neither of us had a perfect childhood growing up, and that's all we want for Fritz, so don't ruin this for him." 

"And what, give the child false hope?"

"In the future, when he's old enough, it'll be up to him to decide if he thinks Santa's real or not. But for now, Santa is as real as our elemental powers."

Placing his hands on his wife's shoulders, he escorted her out of the room, leaving Wu in silence.

Later that night, Nya tucked Fritz in, "Mommy? Is Master Wu telling the truth?"

Nya smoothed out the creases of his blue comforter, "No, baby. Santa's real. But he won't come tonight unless you get some sleep, and tomorrow, you'll have lots of presents to open and lots of new toys to play with." She pointed towards the stocking hanging off the end of the bed, already halfway filled with small toys and sweets; a plus point of having so many uncles and aunts.

Fritz nodded eagerly and wriggled under his duvet. Laughing, Nya kissed his forehead, before switching the lamp off and leaving the door a crack open.

Jay was in the living room, wielding two glasses of red wine, "How is he?" he asked, handing her a glass

"Okay, for now. By tomorrow, this will hopefully be forgotten."

Clinking glasses, they sipped quietly, watching the snow gently drift down from the sky, touching the ground, covering it with a blanket of white.

As the clock struck twelve, Jay leaned over, "Merry Christmas-"

He stopped short as he heard small thuds, before a skidding sound, as if someone was sliding across cement, another abrupt thud and a quiet 'Ow!'

It was all coming from the fireplace...more like above it...

Exchanging odd glances, Jay set the glass down and army-crawled towards the fireplace, sticking his head in and looking up, only to be met with a pair of legs clothed in red fabric. The strong smell of tea bags filled his nostrils and he recoiled, "Wu?!"

Legs kicking wildly, he grunted, "I gave a lot of thought about what you said, about not wanting to ruin his childhood, and I'm sorry. So, I thought I'd-"

"Dress up as Santa and get stuck in the chimney?"

"-Yes. The 'getting stuck' part wasn't planned."

"I could tell."

"Jay, your sarcasm isn't helping anybody!" Wu snapped. Small footsteps could be heard, followed by a quiet yawn, "Mommy? Daddy? What was that sound?"

Jay bit his lip, before conjuring a lie up on the spot, "Um...it was...the pipes..."

"But pipes can't talk. Whose feet are those?" He pointed to the shoes Nya had a hold of, and she laughed, "Well you see, your uncle Cole was trying to play a prank on us and he um...got stuck?"

"You said uncle Cole was out carolling and wouldn't be back until sunrise."

Wu coughed loudly, as clouds of coal surrounded him, "HACK, HACK, HACK!"

But to those who weren't in a chimney, it sounded like, "HO HO HO!"

Fritz's eyes grew wide, "Santa Claus?"

"Um...."

"Heh..."

"Oh my gosh! Santa's stuck in a chimney!" Fritz cheered, "He's real, I knew it!"

"Um," Jay cleared his throat, "Son, could you wait in the kitchen just for a second?"

"Okay!" He skipped off excitedly, before squealing, "Mommy! Daddy! Another Santa Claus!"

Now this caught the couple's attention. Abandoning Wu, they rushed into the kitchen to see Lloyd rooted to the spot, dressed in a red Santa's costume which was stuffed with what looked like pillows, with polished black boots and a floppy Santa hat, a fake beard glued on, as he wielded a large burlap sack.

"I can explain!" He yelped, "Just don't taser me, or drown me!"

"What about me?" Wu's muffled shouts could be heard from the living room, "Help me!"

"Is...is that my uncle?"

The little boy jumped up and down excitedly, "Santa's uncle is here too? This is the best Christmas ever!"

Pulling Nya aside, Lloyd bent down and whispered in her ear, "I followed Jay's description of Santa and went out and brought a costume. I didn't want what Wu said to get in his head. He's still a kid; he shouldn't have to worry about this sort of stuff."

"That's very nice of you Lloyd, and though I absolutely appreciate it, Fritz now thinks that Santa's uncle is stuck in the chimney!"

"So...who's stuck in the chimney?"

"Sensei!"

"Ho. Ho. Ho." A deep voice echoed in the hallways as Nya and Jay saw a sight they'd never thought they'd see in their whole life.

Sensei Garmadon dressed as an elf.

And he did not look like he was enjoying this, at all.

"Lloyd! Why's your dad here?!" Jay hissed. Lloyd shrugged sheepishly, "He had nothing better to do either so I dragged him along!"

"Okay, let's first focus on getting Santa C- Santa's uncle out of the chimney-" A large thud and groan interrupted them.

They rushed into the living room, where Uncle Claus was sprawled across the carpet in a big heap, groaning, covered in soot.

Meanwhile, Fritz clapped happily, "This is the best Christmas ever! Mommy, where are the cookies?"

"The cookies...the cookies!" She facepalmed, as she remembered Cole scoffing the whole lot when he came around for tea, before taking off again to go carolling.

"Um...would any of you be interested in some fish fingers from the freezer?"

AND THERE WE HAVE IT! Originally, it was just supposed to be Wu, then I had an idea to throw Lloyd into the mix, and I have no clue where the idea to bring Garmadon in came from either!

But this is today's Christmassy oneshot, I hope you enjoyed.

HO HO HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY.

BAIIIIII
