"I am going to fucking murder you."

"Language!!"

It was Christmas Eve, and the group (AKA the SMP) were struggling to put the top on their tree. All of the taller people had tried, but to no avail. Wilbur had tried to get Tommy on his shoulders, but the gremlin-child blatantly refused, spouting nonsense about a "vlog gun".

It had taken about half an hour at the point that Dream (who was on Techno's shoulders) managed to put the porcelain star on top of the tree.

"Tubbo, the lights," Wilbur called, and the blonde boy quickly plugged in the stringed lights, causing the tree to illuminate.

Everyone stood back, looking up at the tree. The green pine-needles were strung methodically with white and different-colored lights, along with a long red ribbon that spiraled from the bottom and up to the top.

It was gorgeous.

"Hey guys I-"

In an instant, the sight was ruined. Skeppy had been walking in, when he had tripped over one of the spare lights that had been carelessly left on the floor, and went face-first into the tree. Everyone surrounding froze, and watched in horror as the fragile star shook, and toppled over. Philza had tried to catch it as it fell, but he was too late, and the beautiful tree-topper shattered into pieces upon impact.

While Tubbo, Bad, Tommy, Philza and Ranboo went to check on Skeppy, Wilbur, Dream, Techno, George, and Punz were all left to stare at the remnants of the once-magnificent star.

And that's where this story picks up.

Techno snarled at the now-recuperating male, who had pine needles tangled in his hair.

Skeppy didn't even realize what had happened until he regained his focus, staring down at the shards of porcelain laying on the floor.

As the group stood in silence, the sound of footsteps approached as Fundy, Eret, Jack, Sam, and Ponk rushed in.

"What happened?" Eret inquired, his naturally deep voice having caught the group's attention.

"The star broke," George sighed, rubbing the back of his neck.

Fundy, who was behind Eret, seemed appalled. "As in—the porcelain one?"

The group nodded simultaneously.

"What the fuck? That was a gift from my mom," Fundy groaned, walking over to the remains of the star. Sam left the room for a moment, and then came back with Purpled, who was holding a broom in-hand.

Everyone tried their best to clean up, but there were so many little shards that it was a bit difficult. However, they managed, and the remains were tossed in the trash.

"Great, now we don't have a tree-topper," Fundy said harshly.

"We can find something!" Bad reassured him, although the crowd doubted that they could pull off anything at this point.

"Guys, cookies are ready!" The gentle voice of Ant said from the hallway. The group followed the voice into the kitchen, deciding it would be better to forget for the time being. In the kitchen already was Niki, Puffy, Karl and Corpse (who were currently struggling to turn off a mixer), Quackity (who was screaming), Sapnap (who was lounging on a stool), and Connor (who was next to Sapnap). It was rather chaotic in the kitchen, as per-usual, but things seemed to calm down as cookies were passed around by Niki and Puffy. After everyone was satisfied with their cookies, they pooled into the family room to discuss what they were to do about the missing star.

"We could just make one," Phil suggested.

"Out of what? Paper," George retorted.

"Well, yeah. That's pretty much all we have."

The group discussed, although it was mostly George and Phil going back and forth.

In the midst of it all, a quiet voice was trying to make themselves known.

"Erm, guys?" Alyssa said, although being pretty much drowned out by the people around her. However, Sam seemed to have caught on, and settled everyone else down.

"Guys, Alyssa's trying to talk."

The focus was on Alyssa, who pulled out a small figurine from behind her back.

"This is a heirloom from my grandma. It's an angel meant to go on trees. It's not breakable, either."

"Are you suggesting we replace the star with it?"

Alyssa nodded.

Everyone seemed to think for a while, but eventually decided that it was a good idea. Alyssa passed the angel to Sam, who then gave it to Wilbur. The brunette then motioned for Techno, who approached, and crouched down for Wilbur to climb onto his shoulders. It was a terrifying experience, to say the least, as Wilbur was extremely close to hitting the ceiling. But, he managed to get the angel on the tree.

"Tubbo, lights?"

The boy once again plugged in the lights, and within moments the whole tree was lit, including the angel.

It was beautiful.

"Skeppy, stay far away," Phil jested, causing those around him to laugh. Skeppy flushed in embarrassment, and shrunk back to the confines of Bad's comforting hugs.

The group stared at the tree for a good 5 minutes, before Corpse spoke up from the couch.

"So, uhhh, Elf, anyone?"

"Ew, who likes Elf," Sapnap groaned, causing George to smack him.

"It's a good movie Sapnap, shut up."

The younger stuck his tongue out tauntingly at the older, who only rolled his eyes.

"I'm putting on Elf, it's up to you guys if you wanna watch or not," Corpse shrugged, grabbing the remote and putting on the movie he had promised.

In time, everyone had settled down, some even falling asleep. They kept scrolling through different Christmas movies, and through each one, more and more people fell asleep.

Soon, it was 11:55 PM, and Dream was the only one awake. He wanted to sleep, but he had had a little too much sugar earlier, which had made him restless. He closed his eyes to try and relax, but, as he did so, a sound caught his attention.

The noise was faded, but eventually became stronger. It sounded like... bells. Dream stood up, carefully maneuvering through an unconscious sea of sleeping people to make his way to the sliding glass door. Peaking through the curtains, he looked up at the sky, and listened as the bells slipped away. Now tired, he slipped back over to where he was, pushing an unconscious Sapnap in the process (who didn't react in the slightest), and got comfortable.

But, in the dark, there was one thing Dream missed.

That was the sleigh flying high in the sky.

Merry Christmas (if you celebrate)! If you don't celebrate, happy whatever holiday you have or I hope you're having a good day.

I made this in literally half an hour, so sorry it's rushed. I had the idea in my head, I dropped it, and boom.

I tried my best to fit every SMP person in here, but sorry if I missed one or two.

Now, I'm exhausted, so I'm gonna head to bed.

Merry Christmas! ❤️🎄🎁
