In a snug and welcoming cabin surrounded by a snowy wonderland, where the trees wore glistening coats of frost and the air carried the crisp scent of winter, two furry companions were brimming with holiday excitement. Athena, a striking one-year-old Siberian Husky with mismatched eyes, one a glacial blue like a frozen lake, the other a warm chestnut brown that radiated kindness, stood by the crackling fireplace. Her sleek silver, black and white coat gleamed in the firelight as she wagged her tail eagerly, her energy buzzing through the cozy room.  
Beside her sat Obito, a roly-poly, five-month-old Alaskan Malamute pup whose soft, black, tan, and grey fur was as fluffy as freshly fallen snow. He was all oversized paws and fluff, his clumsy attempts to sit properly betraying his boundless puppy exuberance. His big brown eyes shone with uncontainable affection as he gazed up at Athena, his mentor and partner in all things mischief.  
Athena pounced toward a piece of paper on the table, holding it triumphantly between her teeth before placing it down with an air of pride. “I made a list!” she declared, her voice brimming with excitement as she nudged the paper toward Obito with her nose. 
“Twenty-four days of snowy fun, surprises, and adventures, one for every single day until Christmas!”  
Obito tilted his head, his big paws slipping on the wooden floor as he tried to lean in for a closer look. His tongue lolled out in an adorably derpy way as he stared at the list, his tail thumping wildly against the cabin floor. “Wow!” he said, his voice full of awe. He tried to act calm, mimicking Athena’s composed demeanor, but his clumsiness betrayed him as he accidentally flipped the list with his nose. He quickly corrected himself, earning a chuckle from Athena.  
“Well then,” Obito said with a wobbly attempt at poise, his tail still wagging uncontrollably. “Let’s get started!”  
Athena let out a joyful bark, and the two best friends bounded toward the door, their excitement echoing in the cozy cabin. Outside, the snowy forest awaited, twinkling with frost, alive with possibility, and ready to be explored. With Athena’s spark and Obito’s goofy charm, they knew this countdown to Christmas would be nothing short of magical.

Day 1: Forest Treasure Hunt
The crisp winter air filled their lungs as Athena and Obito bounded into the woods, their paws crunching through the thick blanket of snow beneath them. The trees stood tall around them, their bare branches reaching toward the pale blue sky, each one dusted with a light coating of fresh snow. The woods were quiet, save for the soft rustling of the wind and the occasional bird call, a peaceful, enchanted silence that seemed to whisper secrets of the season.
Athena, always the energetic one, darted ahead, her fur flashing like a streak of lightning against the snow. Her bright eyes scanned the ground with eager anticipation as she sniffed the air, her tail flicking with excitement. “I know there’s something perfect out here!” she thought, her nose twitching. In moments, she had found a treasure, a cluster of pinecones nestled beneath a snow-covered bush. She carefully pawed them free, her tail wagging in a blur of joy. “Look, Obito! These will be perfect for our decorations!” she barked, her voice full of pride as she trotted back, the pinecones balanced in her mouth.
Obito, with his calm and measured stride, moved slowly through the woods, taking in the quiet beauty of their surroundings. His eyes scanned the forest floor, always attentive to the details. When his sharp gaze fell on a fallen branch, he paused, studying it for a moment. It was just the right size and shape, long, strong, and perfectly straight. He dragged it carefully toward the clearing where Athena waited, his muscles rippling beneath his thick coat as he pulled the branch with quiet determination.
"How about this?" he rumbled, his deep voice soft but filled with excitement. He set the branch down gently, admiring how it seemed to catch the light, its rugged edges just the right touch for their Christmas star. Athena’s eyes lit up with delight, her tail wagging in approval. "It’s perfect! We’ll make the most beautiful star ever!"
The duo stood together, surrounded by nature’s treasures, their hearts full of the excitement of the season. The woods, with its quiet beauty and the soft glow of winter light, had given them everything they needed for their Christmas decorations. With every step, they were creating something magical, just as they had always imagined, together, in the heart of the woods, with love, laughter, and the true spirit of Christmas filling the air.

Day 2: Finding the Tree
The moment the first snowflake fell, Athena and Obito knew it was time for their next big Christmas adventure. Their paws sank into the soft powder as they bounded into the forest, their breath forming little clouds in the crisp, winter air. The towering evergreens stood like silent sentinels, their branches heavy with snow, casting a blanket of silence over the woods. The forest, bathed in the soft glow of daylight, seemed to hold its breath as the two pups embarked on their quest.
Athena, always the one with boundless energy, dashed ahead, her fur a blur as she weaved between the towering trees, her nose twitching as she sniffed the frosty air. She paused to examine a magnificent pine, its trunk thick and its branches stretching high into the sky. She stood on her hind legs, her tail flicking in mild disappointment. “This one’s too tall,” she declared, her voice full of determination, her eyes scanning the forest for something just right.
Obito, his pace slower and more deliberate, took his time, his large paws leaving deep impressions in the snow. His dark eyes swept over the forest, taking in every detail with quiet appreciation. He stepped gracefully toward a smaller, bushier tree that seemed to glow with a quiet charm. Its branches were full and lush, the perfect shape, and its height just right, neither too tall nor too small. A soft sigh of contentment escaped him as he stood beside it, his gaze soft and satisfied. “This one’s just right,” he said, his voice warm with certainty, his tail giving a slow, approving wag.
Together, the two pups set to work. Athena tugged at the tree’s base, her paws digging into the snow as she heaved with all her might. Obito, using his strength and careful precision, grabbed hold of a lower branch. They pulled in unison, their movements synchronized, as they dragged their chosen tree back toward the cabin. With every step, their paws left a zigzagging trail in the snow, the perfect path of adventure they had created together. The tree, though small, seemed to shine with pride, its branches dusted in snow, its needles glistening with the light of the season.
As they neared the cabin, the two pups paused, breathing heavily but with smiles that could not be contained. The tree was exactly what they had been looking for, a symbol of their Christmas adventure, and a perfect gift for their cozy holiday home. Athena barked excitedly, her tail wagging furiously, while Obito stood tall beside her, his dark eyes twinkling with satisfaction. Together, they had found the heart of their Christmas, a tree filled with the magic of their friendship and the joy of the season.

Day 3: Decorating the Tree
The cabin buzzed with the cozy warmth of the holiday spirit as Athena sat on the wooden floor, determinedly wrestling with a knotted string of twinkling lights. Her nimble paws worked furiously, and when a particularly stubborn knot refused to budge, she let out an exaggerated sigh and, with a mischievous grin, nipped at the tangle with her teeth. The soft glow of the crackling fireplace danced off her face, casting a golden hue over the scene.
Nearby, Obito sat with an air of gentle concentration. The massive dog’s usually rambunctious energy was replaced by an almost reverent calm as he delicately unwrapped a bundle of ornaments. His large paws, so often clumsy during play, now moved with surprising precision. He carefully picked up a shiny red bauble, its glossy surface reflecting the twinkling firelight, and padded over to the tree. Stretching up on his hind legs, he placed it on a sturdy branch with all the care of an artist perfecting a masterpiece.
Athena straightened, her face flushed with triumph as she held the star for the treetop. She climbed onto a creaky wooden chair, wobbling just slightly, and reached as high as she could. The star settled into place with a satisfying click. “Perfect!” she exclaimed, her voice brimming with delight. Stepping back to admire their handiwork, she beamed at Obito, who wagged his tail, sending a few pine needles dancing to the floor. Together, they stood in awe of their shimmering creation, the tree glowing as if lit from within by the magic of the season.

Day 4: Writing Letters to Santa Paws
The warm glow of the fireplace filled the cabin, crackling embers adding a soft soundtrack to the snowy evening outside. Athena, sprawled on the thick rug in front of the fire, her fluffy tail swishing lazily behind her. Between her paws rested a slightly chewed-up pencil, its edges frayed from an earlier bout of "creative frustration." Her piercing eyes gleamed with focus as she pawed at a sheet of crinkled paper, scribbling with a flair only a determined husky could muster.
Her letter read:

"Dear Santa Paws,
I’ve been the best husky ever (mostly).
I’d love a new blanket, and Obito could use more treats.
Love, Athena."

She tilted her head, scrutinizing her work with the intensity of an artist perfecting a masterpiece. Beside her, Obito, the ever-dignified malamute, lounged with his enormous paws crossed, his bushy tail curled neatly around him. His silvery flacks  of fur shimmered in the firelight as he watched Athena’s efforts with a mixture of amusement and skepticism.
“Really?” Obito rumbled, raising one thick eyebrow. “You forgot to mention my saint-like patience dealing with your endless antics.”
Athena’s ears twitched, and she shot him a playful glare. “Fine!” she huffed dramatically. Chewing the pencil once more for good measure, she added a hasty postscript to the bottom of her letter:
"And Obito is... um... wise and deserving of many gifts."
Satisfied, she held it up with a wag of her tail, her expression beaming with triumph. Obito leaned over to inspect her work, his deep eyes sparkling with amusement. “I suppose that’ll do,” he murmured, his voice laced with mock grandeur.
As the flames danced in the hearth, the two sat side by side, their letter ready to be delivered to the North Pole. The snowy night outside seemed to hum with the promise of holiday magic, and in that cozy little cabin, the spirit of Santa Paws was alive and well.

Day 5: Ice Skating on the Lake
Athena bounded onto the frozen lake with all the uncontainable joy at the amount of snowfall. Her sleek, coat gleamed under the pale winter sun as her paws skittered and slid across the glassy surface. She laughed, a husky's playful howl echoing through the crisp air, and spun in giddy circles, her breath misting in soft clouds.
"Come on, slowpoke!" she called, her piercing eye sparkling like shards of ice.
Obito stood at the lake's edge, his large form framed by snow-dusted pines. His thick, teddy bear like coat shimmered in the light as he eyed the ice warily. One large paw ventured forward, testing the surface, then another. He froze, wobbling slightly, his bushy tail flicking for balance.
Athena's laughter rang out again, sharper and brighter than the chill in the air. "You look like a baby moose learning to walk!" she teased, her tongue lolling mischievously.
Obito huffed, his breath puffing like a miniature steam engine. "At least I’m not a hurricane on four paws," he shot back, though his tone held more humor than irritation. With a grunt of determination, he pushed off, finding his footing. His strides grew smoother, more confident, until he was gliding beside her.
“Not bad for a moose!” Athena barked, grinning.
The two raced across the frozen expanse, their paws skimming the surface in perfect rhythm. Athena spun and twirled with the grace of a snowflake, while Obito surged ahead in powerful, steady strides. The ice beneath them shimmered like a mirror, capturing their joy in twinkling reflections that seemed to ripple and dance with every movement.
Together, they carved their laughter into the winter afternoon, the frozen lake a sparkling stage for their frosty ballet.

Day 6: Building a Snow Fort
The world outside the cabin was a frosted wonderland, and Athena and Obito wasted no time diving into the snow, their breaths puffing like tiny clouds in the crisp air. Together, they worked tirelessly, pawing and piling up heaps of snow to create a grand structure. Athena’s smaller, nimble frame darted back and forth as she shaped archways and tunnels, while Obito, with his powerful build, shoveled mounds of snow into place with his broad paws.
The fort took shape quickly, walls rising proudly, tunnels winding like secret passageways, and a tower that reached for the pale winter sky. Athena wriggled through a narrow archway, her tail wagging with excitement as she planted herself at the entrance. She puffed out her chest, her eyes sparkling with mischief, and barked in her best guard voice, “Who goes there?”
Obito paused, standing behind the half-formed tower he was diligently packing with snow. His thick fur glistened with tiny crystals, and his bushy tail wagged as he replied with mock grandeur, “Only the greatest snow fort architect of all time!” He gave the tower an extra firm pat for emphasis, sending a flurry of powder into the air.
Athena laughed, her howl-like giggle carrying across the snowy yard. “Greatest architect? Prove it! Let’s see that tower hold up when I’m done with it!” she teased, bolting from her post and pouncing playfully on the other side of the fort.
Their game continued, with walls rising higher, tunnels growing deeper, and laughter filling the air. The fort became not just a snowy creation but a testament to their teamwork and the pure joy of a winter’s day spent in each other’s company.

Day 7: Christmas Carol sing-a-long
Under a canopy of snow-laden branches, the forest shimmered with moonlight, turning the clearing into a magical stage. Animals of all shapes and sizes had gathered, their fur dusted with sparkling flakes as the crisp night air hummed with anticipation. A squirrel chittered excitedly, a fox flicked its bushy tail, and a pair of rabbits thumped their feet in eager rhythm. In the center of it all stood Athena and Obito, their breaths curling like silver ribbons in the frosty air.
Athena tipped her head back, her piercing blue eye catching the glow of the stars. Her first howl rang out, high and melodic, weaving through the air like a song carried on the wind. It was pure and bright, filled with the unbridled joy of the season. Around her, the forest animals listened in awe before joining in, their chirps, squeaks, and rustling blending into a symphony of nature’s voices.
Obito joined with a deep, resonant bass note, his powerful howl vibrating through the ground beneath their paws. It was steady and rich, grounding the melody with a warmth that seemed to melt the winter chill. His voice echoed through the trees, stirring snow from the branches as if the forest itself were swaying to their tune.
“That’s the spirit!” Athena cheered as they finished the carol, her voice ringing with pride and delight. Her tail wagged so furiously it sent up little flurries of snow, showering a nearby chipmunk, who squeaked in surprise before chittering along in laughter.
The clearing buzzed with energy as the animals clapped, pawed, and chirped their appreciation. The forest felt alive, as if the music had infused it with a touch of holiday magic. Together, Athena and Obito beamed, their howls lingering in the frosty air, a celebration of friendship, music, and the beauty of the winter night.

Day 8: Helping Forest Friends
The morning sun cast a golden glow over the snowy landscape as Athena and Obito busied themselves with their mission of kindness. Their sled, a sturdy wooden contraption dusted with frost, sat waiting as the duo carefully loaded it with treasures. Athena darted back and forth, her paws crunching in the snow, as she expertly packed pouches of shiny acorns and crunchy walnuts for the squirrels. She nosed the bundles into place with a satisfied little huff, her tail wagging in anticipation.
Obito worked methodically, his massive paws steady as he arranged bales of fragrant hay for the deer. The golden strands smelled sweet even in the cold air, and he pushed them into the sled with gentle determination. Beside the hay, he placed bags of tiny seeds, each one glinting like jewels in the winter sunlight, ready for the birds that would soon flutter down to feast.
When the sled was fully packed, Athena gave it a playful tug, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Let’s go!" she barked, her voice ringing with holiday cheer. Obito took his place beside her, his powerful frame effortlessly pulling the sled as the two set off through the snow-blanketed forest.
As they reached the clearing, the forest animals began to gather, their eyes wide with curiosity and gratitude. Squirrels scampered down tree trunks, their bushy tails twitching as they sniffed the air. Birds swooped down in bursts of color, their wings fluttering like tiny ornaments against the winter sky. A family of deer approached cautiously, their elegant forms silhouetted against the snow.
Athena pranced excitedly as she handed out the goodies, her paws kicking up little puffs of powder. “Here you go, everyone!” she called, her voice full of joy. Obito stood nearby, his warm breath creating clouds in the frosty air, his tail wagging steadily as he watched the animals eagerly accept their offerings.
The forest seemed to hum with life and warmth as the animals chirped, squeaked, and nibbled at their treats. Athena and Obito shared a happy glance, their tails wagging in unison. They had brought more than just food, they had brought the spirit of the season, filling the forest with kindness, connection, and cheer.

Day 9: Sledding Adventures
The hillside sparkled under the pale winter sun, its smooth, snowy surface glistening like a sheet of diamonds. Athena could barely contain her excitement as she bounded toward their sled, a colorful scarf dangling from her jaws like the banner of a fearless adventurer. Her tail wagged so furiously it sent little bursts of snow scattering around her as she hopped aboard, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.
“Mush, Obito!” she howled, her voice carrying across the frosty air. She leaned forward dramatically, the scarf fluttering like a victory flag in the wind.
Obito, harnessed to the sled with an expression that hovered between amusement and long-suffering patience, glanced back at her. His dark eyes glinted with mock exasperation as he let out a low, rumbling sigh. “You’re lucky I like you,” he muttered, shaking his thick coat free of snow. Then, with a powerful push of his legs, he launched them forward.
The sled rocketed down the hill with breathtaking speed, carving a zigzagging path through the untouched snow. Obito’s strong legs churned with effortless precision as he raced ahead, his thick malamute fur streaming in the icy wind. Athena clung to the sled’s edges, laughing wildly, her scarf whipping behind her like a comet’s tail.
Snow sprayed in sparkling arcs as they tore down the slope, the crisp air filled with the sound of their shared joy. Athena howled with glee, her voice harmonising with the rush of wind and the crunch of snow under the sled’s runners. Obito let out a deep, rumbling bark, his usually calm demeanor melting into the sheer exhilaration of the moment.
When they finally reached the bottom, the sled hit a soft bank of snow and tipped, sending both dogs tumbling into a fluffy, powdery heap. Athena landed first, her paws flailing as she rolled over, laughing so hard she could barely breathe. Obito flopped down beside her, his tongue lolling as he joined in her laughter, his tail thumping against the snow.
The world seemed to stand still as they lay there, their breath forming frosty clouds, the hill above them etched with the wild, twisting path of their ride. For a moment, it was just them, the snow, and the boundless joy of a perfect winter day.

Day 10: Hanging Stockings
The cabin glowed with the warmth of the season, the crackling fire in the hearth casting golden light that flickered and danced on the log walls. The Christmas tree stood proudly in the corner, adorned with glittering ornaments and fairy lights that sparkled like tiny stars. The scent of pine and cinnamon filled the air, wrapping everything in a cozy embrace.
Athena trotted toward the fireplace, her tail wagging high, the soft sound of her paws tapping against the wooden floor. Clutched gently in her teeth was a bright red stocking, its fluffy white trim bouncing with each step. She paused in front of the hearth, her mesmerising eyes narrowing in focus as she carefully lifted her head, trying to hook the stocking onto its place above the fire. The loop slipped once, twice, but on the third try, she managed to hang it securely. She stepped back with a triumphant little bark, her tail wagging furiously.
Obito approached with his usual calm, his large, powerful frame moving with quiet grace. The light of the fire caught the silver streaks in his thick coat as he leaned in, inspecting Athena’s handiwork. His nose nudged the stocking gently, straightening it with the precision of an artist adjusting a masterpiece. Satisfied, he padded over to the second stocking, a deep green one embroidered with their names, and hooked it onto its place with a careful flick of his muzzle.
Athena tilted her head, studying the arrangement with the air of a true decorator. “Perfect!” she declared, stepping closer to Obito, her breath forming a tiny puff in the chilly air near the fire.
Together, they stood in the glow of the hearth, their reflections shimmering faintly in the polished surface of the ornaments on the tree. The stockings swayed gently, their vibrant colors glowing in the firelight, ready and waiting for Santa Paws to fill them with treats and surprises. Athena gave a happy little sigh, leaning into Obito, who rumbled softly in agreement.
The cabin felt alive with magic, their stockings a promise of the joy and wonder yet to come.

Day 11: Making Presents
The cabin buzzed with the energy of holiday creativity, the wooden table scattered with bits of colorful cloth, lengths of yarn, and scraps of soft fabric. A gentle snow fell outside, frosting the windowpanes, but inside, Athena and Obito were hard at work, the warmth of their project filling the room as much as the crackling fire in the hearth.
Athena sat on the floor, her paws expertly holding a strip of red fabric in place as she tugged and twisted it with her teeth. With a final tug, she tied a tight knot, creating a sturdy tug rope that was both functional and festive. “Handmade gifts are the best!” she declared, lifting her creation triumphantly. The vibrant rope dangled from her mouth like a badge of honor, the red and green strands catching the soft glow of the fairy lights strung across the cabin.
Nearby, Obito was focused on his own masterpiece. His massive paws held a bundle of blue and white yarn steady as he worked with surprising precision, looping and twisting it into a chew toy that would surely delight their forest friends. Every so often, he glanced up at Athena, his deep eyes filled with quiet amusement at her boundless enthusiasm.
“Don’t forget to double knot it!” Athena chirped, her voice brimming with helpful authority.
Obito huffed softly, his tail thumping against the floor. “I’ve got it under control,” he replied, nudging his finished chew toy into a neat pile of completed presents.
By the time they were done, the table was surrounded by a rainbow of tug ropes, chew toys, and even a few makeshift balls stuffed with crinkled fabric. The cabin felt alive with their shared accomplishment, the air rich with the scent of pine, yarn, and the faintest hint of hot cocoa.
Athena pranced around their handiwork, her tail wagging furiously. “Our friends are going to love these!” she howled, her voice full of pride.
Obito nodded, his warm smile reflected in the glow of the firelight. “They’ll know they were made with love,” he said, his deep voice carrying a note of quiet satisfaction.
As the pups sat back to admire their work, the room seemed to hum with the spirit of giving. The gifts weren’t just toys, they were tokens of friendship, crafted with care and filled with the joy of the season.

Day 12: Hot Chocolate Mishap
The cabin was filled with the heavenly aroma of rich cocoa and melting marshmallows as their human stirred a steaming pot on the stove. Athena and Obito sat nearby, their eager eyes fixed on the counter where a bowl of fluffy white marshmallows sat tantalizingly close. Athena's tail thumped rhythmically against the floor, her smile full of mischief, while Obito, ever the picture of patience, sat beside her, his bushy tail curling neatly around his paws.
As the human turned their back for just a moment, Athena seized the opportunity. Quick as a snowflake falling, she leapt onto her hind legs and snagged a marshmallow from the bowl with the precision of a seasoned snack thief. Triumphantly, she landed back on all fours, the pillowy treat clutched delicately in her jaws.
But her victory was short-lived. The marshmallow, sticky and soft, squished against her nose and refused to budge. Athena blinked in confusion, crossing her eyes to get a better look at the gooey invader now stuck to her face.
Obito, who had been watching the whole escapade with quiet amusement, let out a deep, rumbling chuckle. “You’re supposed to eat it, not wear it,” he teased, his voice rich with humor. He leaned over and, with a gentle swipe of his massive paw, dislodged the marshmallow from Athena’s nose. It landed on the floor with a soft plop, and Athena’s ears flicked back in mock indignation.
“Well, it’s still mine!” she barked, pouncing on the sticky treat and gulping it down before Obito could claim it.
Their human, turning back to the scene, shook their head with an indulgent laugh. “Alright, you two,” they said, setting aside their own steaming mugs of cocoa. Moments later, two warm bowls of dog-safe broth appeared on the floor, each topped with a single marshmallow bobbing cheerfully on the surface like a snowy island.
Athena sniffed her bowl, her tail wagging so furiously it sent a cascade of pine needles tumbling from the nearby tree. Obito leaned down gracefully, savoring the aroma before lapping up the broth in slow, deliberate sips.
The cabin filled with the sounds of contented slurping and the soft crackle of the fire. Outside, snowflakes swirled in the night, but inside, the world was warm and perfect. The mishap was forgotten as Athena and Obito savored their treat, their hearts as full as their bellies.

Day 13: Delivering Presents.
The crisp winter air bit at their fur, but Athena and Obito didn’t mind. The sled, piled high with their handmade gifts, brightly colored tug ropes, soft chew toys, and fuzzy balls, bounced along behind them, a shining beacon of holiday cheer. The soft glow of dawn lit the snow-covered world in hues of pink and gold, as if nature itself was celebrating alongside them. Athena’s tail was a blur of excitement, her eyes shining with the thrill of the task ahead. Obito walked with his steady, noble gait, his amber eyes soft but filled with quiet joy, his powerful frame moving gracefully through the snow.
The snow crunched underfoot as they made their way to the first stop, Scout’s den. When Athena and Obito arrived, Scout, a spunky little terrier with a coat as white as the snow, bounded toward them with a yip of surprise. His tail wagged so hard that his whole body wiggled, and his eyes were wide with delight as he sniffed at the pile of presents.
“Oh, for me?!” Scout barked, his voice high with excitement. He immediately grabbed a tug rope, shaking it in his teeth and tugging it playfully in the snow, his ears flopping in the wind. Athena laughed, a musical sound that carried across the frosty clearing.
“Of course!” she called, nudging another gift toward him. “We knew you’d love it!”
Obito’s deep voice rumbled with satisfaction as he watched Scout’s joyous antics. “It’s the best feeling, seeing them so happy.”
Next, they visited Bella, a graceful golden retriever with eyes full of warmth. When she saw them approaching, her tail started wagging furiously, sending snowflakes flying around her like confetti. She sniffed the air, her nose twitching, before gently picking up one of the chew toys with a happy bark.
“Thank you!” Bella said, her voice soft but filled with gratitude. “This is perfect!” She began to roll on her back in the snow, happily gnawing on the toy with delight.
Athena and Obito watched as Bella’s joy seemed to light up the world around them. The frosty air was filled with the sounds of contented barks, playful growls, and the crunch of paws on snow. Each delivery brought more smiles, more tail wags, and more happiness.
As the day wore on, and the sled grew emptier with each stop, Athena and Obito found themselves at the last house, a small, cozy den nestled at the edge of the forest. When they knocked, Luna, a shy husky with a soft, silver coat, peeked out from behind the door. Her eyes widened when she saw the sled and the presents it held.
“You didn’t have to,” Luna said, her voice soft but filled with emotion.
“We wanted to,” Obito said, his deep voice filled with quiet warmth. He nudged the last toy gently toward her.
Luna took the toy, her tail wagging slowly at first, then picking up speed as she gave a soft, joyful bark. “I’ll cherish this,” she whispered.
Athena looked at Obito, her heart full as they exchanged a glance. Their faces were lit with the shared joy of a day well-spent. The cold air around them felt warmer than ever, as if the love they’d shared was the true magic of Christmas.
Together, in unison, they said, “Giving presents is the most wonderful part of Christmas!”
And as they turned to head back to the cabin, their hearts felt as full as their sled had been, carrying the true spirit of Christmas into the heart of the forest.

Day 14: Making a Snow Father Christmas.
In the wide, snow-covered clearing near their cabin, Athena and Obito were on a mission to create the most festive snow sculpture ever. The world around them was blanketed in white, the trees heavy with snow, their branches bending beneath the weight of winter’s beauty. The air was crisp, and every breath they took puffed out in soft clouds, sparkling with the magic of the season.
Together, they worked with excited energy, their paws moving in a flurry as they piled snow into the shape of a jolly Father Christmas. Athena’s eyes sparkled with delight as she nudged the snow into place, her tail flicking back and forth with every step. She grabbed a bright red scarf from the pile of winter clothes and draped it proudly around the snowman’s neck. “Perfect!” she barked with a grin, standing back to admire her work.
Obito, ever the perfectionist, stepped forward with careful precision. His large paws gently shaped the snowman’s buttons, placing them one by one with the utmost care. Each pinecone fit just right, adding a rustic touch to their snowy creation. His soulful eyes were filled with focus as he shaped the details, making sure Father Christmas looked just like the jolly fellow they had imagined in their minds.
When they found the perfect carrot for the nose, Athena’s excitement grew. But as she reached for it, Obito, with a gleam of mischief in his eye, quickly snatched it up and took a bite. His tail wagged furiously as he chewed, looking up at Athena with a cheeky glint in his gaze. "Whoops!" he said, his voice deep and playful. "We’ll need to see in the dark now to spot the real Santa Paws on Christmas Eve!"
Athena barked a laugh, her tail wagging with equal mischief as she watched him finish the carrot. She tilted her head, eyes sparkling. “Well, that just means we’ll need to be extra sharp when we go searching!” she said, her voice full of excitement.
Together, they stood back and admired their snowy creation, Father Christmas now with a mischievous twinkle in his eye and a red scarf proudly draped around his neck. The clearing was alive with their laughter and the joy of the season, the snow sparkling around them like the very essence of Christmas magic. Their hearts were full, knowing that no matter what happened, their holiday adventures had already begun.

Day 15: A Cozy Reading Night
The warmth of the crackling fire wrapped around the cabin like a cozy blanket, its golden flames dancing and casting playful shadows across the room. The scent of burning wood filled the air, mixing with the faint aroma of cinnamon and pine that lingered from their earlier baking. Athena and Obito settled comfortably by the hearth, the soft glow of the fire making everything feel peaceful and magical.
Athena nestled close to Obito, her fur soft and warm against his thick coat, her bright eyes fixed on their human. She listened intently, her ears perked forward as their human's voice filled the room, reading a beloved Christmas story aloud. The words seemed to come alive in the firelight, painting pictures of snow-covered villages, twinkling lights, and the joyous sounds of the holiday season. Athena’s tail swayed gently as she imagined each scene, her heart full of the magic that filled the air.
Obito, on the other paw, was a little less focused. The warmth of the fire, combined with the soothing sound of their human’s voice, had lulled him into a state of perfect contentment. His large body relaxed, his eyes growing heavy. With a soft sigh, he stretched out, his head resting comfortably on his paws as his mind drifted into a peaceful dream. In his slumber, he was racing through endless fields of snow, his breath clouding in the frosty air as he chased after mouthwatering treats, his paws kicking up puffs of powdery snow.
The soft, rhythmic sound of Athena’s breathing beside him and the gentle lilt of their human’s voice filled his dreams with the warmth of home and the promise of more adventures. His tail gave a lazy wag as he imagined the snowy landscapes and the treats waiting for him just beyond the dreamscape.
As the fire crackled and their human continued reading, Athena remained wide-eyed and full of wonder, her heart racing with excitement for the days ahead, while Obito dozed peacefully, his dreams as sweet and comforting as the holiday season itself. Together, wrapped in the warmth of the fire and the joy of the season, they were the picture of contentment, two friends, side by side, surrounded by the love and magic that only Christmas could bring.

Day 16: Baking Dog Treats
The cabin was alive with the warm, mouthwatering scent of peanut butter and cinnamon swirling through the air, wrapping every corner in the promise of something irresistible. Athena and Obito were in their element, their paws dusted with flour as they eagerly helped bake a batch of dog-friendly cookies. Their tails wagged in perfect harmony with the rhythm of the holiday spirit, but it was clear one of them had more than baking on their mind.
Athena was in charge of the fun parts, her bright eyes twinkling as she eagerly licked the spoon, savoring every last bit of dough that clung to it. Her tongue darted out quickly, her excitement bubbling over as the sweet, nutty flavor of peanut butter danced on her taste buds. She gave Obito a cheeky grin when she caught his hungry gaze locked on the spoon. "What? It’s quality control!" she barked playfully, her tail swishing like a metronome.
Obito, however, was a dog possessed. His love for treats was legendary, and his dedication to this baking session bordered on obsession. While he worked with careful precision, shaping the dough into festive stars, bones, and hearts, his drooling betrayed his true thoughts. “This is art,” he muttered, his deep voice reverent as he lined up the cookies on the tray with military precision. Yet his amber eyes kept flicking to the unbaked dough, the soft aroma teasing him like a siren’s call.
Athena smirked, nudging him gently. “I see you eyeing that dough, Obito. Don’t think I didn’t notice you licking your paw when you thought I wasn’t looking.”
Obito froze, a dough-covered paw halfway to his mouth. “It’s called a taste test,” he grumbled defensively, his ears twitching. “Every great baker does it.” He couldn’t deny it, he was utterly smitten with the tantalizing smell, the sight of the golden cookies baking, and the promise of that first, glorious bite.
As the oven hummed softly, the scent grew even more intoxicating. Obito’s tail thumped against the floor in anticipation, his nose working overtime as he imagined the cookies cooling on the counter. “Athena,” he said solemnly, his gaze fixed on the oven, “these are going to be the best cookies anyone’s ever had. Maybe we should… you know, make a second batch. For us. Just to be safe.”
Athena burst out laughing, her ears perking up as she shook her head. “You mean a second batch for you. I know how this goes, you’ll ‘sample’ half before Christmas morning!”
Obito gave her a mischievous grin, unrepentant. “It’s for quality assurance! And besides,” he added with a dramatic sigh, “Christmas is too far away. How can anyone expect me to wait with this kind of temptation?”
Finally, the cookies emerged from the oven, perfectly golden and fragrant. Obito’s eyes sparkled with joy, his tail wagging furiously as he admired their handiwork. He resisted the urge to swipe one right away (barely), content to sit next to Athena as they soaked in the moment together. The cabin was filled with laughter, love, and the sweet, irresistible magic of the season.
For Obito, it was clear, Christmas might bring gifts and joy, but nothing could top the thrill of homemade treats, especially when they came straight from the heart (and oven).

Day 17: Decorating the Cabin
The cabin had come alive with the magic of the season. Garlands of lush greenery were draped along the walls, their deep green intertwined with delicate twinkling lights that flickered like stars against the soft glow of the firelight. The windows were framed in shimmering strands of silver tinsel, casting reflections that danced across the room. The scent of pine and cinnamon filled the air, and the flicker of the lights made the entire cabin feel warm and enchanted, as if a holiday spell had been cast upon it.
Athena was in her element, bounding from corner to corner, her energy bubbling over as she supervised the transformation. Her tail wagged with uncontainable enthusiasm, each flick sending a flurry of excitement through her body. She would pause, nodding approvingly at every placement, her bright blue eye sparkling as she watched the cabin come to life with Christmas cheer. “That’s perfect!” she barked, bouncing from one spot to the next, her paws skimming the floor in a blur of motion.
Obito, ever the clumsy one, moved at a steadier pace, his large oversized paws trying gently and carefully to place each decoration with the precision of a perfectionist. He adjusted the garlands with great attention, ensuring they were draped just right, and untangled any stray strings of lights with a patient, methodical focus. His dark eyes shone with quiet satisfaction as he stepped back to admire his work, nodding with approval at the way everything came together.
Together, they made the perfect team, Athena’s boundless energy bringing life and excitement to every corner, while Obito’s calm, made sure every detail was perfect. The cabin, now transformed into a glowing winter wonderland, hummed with warmth, love, and the promise of a season full of magic. As Athena paused for a moment, looking around in wonder, she barked joyfully, “This is the best Christmas ever!” Obito’s tail gave a slow wag, his eyes soft with contentment. “It certainly feels like it,” he murmured, settling down beside her, his presence a quiet anchor in the heart of the holiday glow.

Day 18: Snowball Fight
Athena crouched low, her eyes sparkling with mischief and boundless energy as the snow-dusted wind tousled her fur. Her lithe frame quivered with anticipation, her tail whipping like a flag of rebellion. With a wild leap, she sprang onto a fluffy mound of fresh snow, sending a cascade of glittering flakes skyward. The crisp air seemed to tingle with her excitement, her playful growl slicing through the quiet serenity of the winter woods.
She wasted no time, her nimble paws working furiously to scoop up a clump of snow. With a flick of her wrist and a gleeful yip, she launched her frosty creation toward Obito. The snowball hit its mark with a satisfying poof, exploding harmlessly across his broad, dark fur. 
Obito paused mid-step, his imposing form dusted in white, and turned to face her with mock gravity. His deep chuckle resonated like distant thunder, his warm, star-speckled eyes glinting with amusement. “Oh, you’ve done it now,” he rumbled, lowering his massive frame like a bear ready to charge. 
With a dramatic swipe, his enormous paw sent an avalanche of powdery snow flying in Athena’s direction. It caught her square on the muzzle, and for a moment, she froze, wide-eyed and stunned. Then, like a dam breaking, laughter burst from her, a musical cacophony of howls and barks that danced through the forest. Her paws churned through the snow as she retaliated with an exuberant flurry of snowballs, her movements as wild and free as the wind itself.
The forest transformed into their playground, the stillness replaced by joyous chaos. Snow flew in every direction as they dashed and pounced, their laughter and playful roars blending harmoniously. Athena darted and ducked with the agility of a fox, her spirit unrestrained, while Obito countered with the steady, calculated strength of a seasoned warrior. Their pawprints wove intricate patterns across the pristine snow, a map of their winter escapade.
As the sun began its descent, the golden light bathed the snowy wonderland in a warm glow, making the flakes sparkle like tiny diamonds. Athena finally collapsed onto her back, panting and laughing, her chest rising and falling in rapid bursts. Obito flopped down beside her, his broad shoulders shaking with residual laughter.
They lay there together, staring up at the sky painted in hues of orange and pink, their breaths steaming in the cold air. The snow around them bore witness to their adventure, trampled, scattered, and shaped by their frolics. And though the chill of winter surrounded them, the warmth of their friendship turned the day into something magical, a memory etched in snow and boundless joy.

Day 19: Stargazing Adventure
Under a vast, shimmering blanket of stars, Athena and Obito sat side by side on a quiet hill, the cool winter air brushing against their fur. The world around them was hushed, the only sound the soft whisper of the wind through the snow-covered trees. Above, the sky was alive with color, waves of green, pink, and purple swirling across the heavens, the northern lights dancing in a celestial ballet.
Athena sat still, her bright eyes wide in awe, watching the lights ripple and change in mesmerizing patterns. The beauty of it all seemed to fill the very air with magic. “It’s magical,” she whispered, her voice barely more than a breath.
Obito sat beside her, his large frame a gentle presence in the quiet night. He, too, gazed at the lights, a peaceful smile spreading across his face. The glowing colors reflected in his soulful eyes, and for a moment, it felt as if the entire world had slowed, wrapped in the quiet wonder of the moment.
He nodded softly, his voice deep but filled with the same reverence. “Yes, it is.”
Together, they sat in the stillness, the magic of the night sky weaving an unspoken bond between them.

Day 20: Visiting the Frozen Waterfall
The duo trekked through the snow-covered forest, their breath rising in soft misty clouds against the crisp, biting air. Around them, the world was a quiet wonderland of snow-laden trees, their branches glinting faintly with frost in the pale winter sunlight. The sound of their steps, Athena’s light and quick, Obito’s heavy and deliberate, was muffled by the thick snow as they made their way toward their destination.  
When they arrived, the sight of the frozen waterfall stole the breath from both of them. What once had been a roaring cascade was now a masterpiece of ice, frozen in mid-motion as though time itself had paused to admire it. Layers of crystal-clear ice stacked over each other in intricate patterns, catching the sunlight in dazzling hues of blue, white, and pale gold. The frozen tendrils hung like nature’s own chandeliers, their edges shimmering delicately in the soft light.  
Athena bounded forward, her sleek form weaving through the snow with ease, her paws leaving a trail of dainty imprints behind her. She reached the base of the frozen waterfall and stretched out a slender paw, her eyes wide with wonder as she tapped the surface. It was smooth, cold, and unyielding beneath her touch, and she let out a small huff of amazement before pawing at it again, as if hoping to uncover the water hidden beneath the ice.  
Obito, however, was less graceful in his approach. He lumbered through the snow behind her, his oversized paws pressing deep into the frost, each step accompanied by a crunching sound as his weight compacted the snow beneath him. His thick fur was dusted with flecks of white, and his toe beans, round, pink, and delightfully squishy, left faint impressions in the snow alongside the larger prints of his pads.  
As Obito tried to find his footing on the uneven ground, his back paw slipped on a hidden patch of ice, sending his legs sprawling in opposite directions like an awkward fawn. With a startled yelp, he collapsed into a pile of snow, his broad form creating a puff of white powder around him. “Ugh,” he groaned, rolling onto his side as he shook snow from his ears, his nose scrunching up in an expression of pure indignation.  
Athena turned, stifling a laugh behind her paw. “You okay back there?” she called, her tone a mix of concern and amusement.  
“Just... getting a better angle,” Obito muttered, his cheeks warm beneath his fur. He stood up, eventually, shaking off clumps of snow with exaggerated dignity, his oversized paws swiping at stray flakes clinging to his face.  
Despite the mishap, Obito finally took in the sight of the frozen waterfall. Standing still for a moment, his dark eyes softened, reflecting the quiet awe he felt. The stillness of the ice, so serene and powerful, resonated with him. Even as the cold seeped into his paw pads, he let out a slow breath, the mist curling softly in the winter air as he gazed at nature’s frozen masterpiece.  
Together, they stood in the snow, each captivated in their own way. Athena, with her bright curiosity, pawed once more at the icy surface, while Obito, with his large, steady presence, watched the scene with quiet reverence, his oversized paws planted firmly in the snow, at least for the moment. The only sound was the soft crunch of snow beneath their feet and the whisper of the wind through the frozen forest, a symphony of winter’s quiet magic.  

Day 21: Festive Dress-Up
The air was filled with the sweet scent of pine and the soft hum of holiday music as their human bustled around, preparing for a very special Christmas photo. Obito’s ears perked up the moment he saw the bright Christmas jumpers and reindeer ears emerge from the box, the sparkle of tinsel catching in the light. He bounded over, tail wagging furiously, his eyes shining with pure delight. “Finally, my time to shine!” he thought as their human slipped the jumper over his head, the knit fabric adorned with snowflakes and a smiling Rudolph. 
The reindeer ears were the cherry on top, and Obito struck a pose with theatrical gusto. His head tilted, his tail wagging just enough to add flair, he radiated festive confidence like a true holiday star.
Athena, however, was not impressed. The moment she saw the jumper, hers was green with a grumpy-looking cat wearing a Santa hat, she froze in place. “Oh no,” she thought, her ears flattening against her head. Her human approached, reindeer ears in hand, and Athena let out a dramatic sigh. With visible reluctance, she allowed the jumper to be pulled over her head, standing stiff as a statue. When it came to the reindeer ears, she gave a token shake to knock them off, but a stern look from their human stopped her rebellion. She sat with her tail curled tightly around her paws, her expression one of complete disdain.
Obito, utterly in his element, barely noticed Athena’s misery. As the camera clicked, he adjusted his stance for maximum effect, puffing out his chest and angling his reindeer ears just right. His enthusiasm was infectious, though Athena remained resolutely unimpressed, shooting a sharp glare in his direction. “You’re ridiculous,” her eyes seemed to say, while Obito’s wagging tail responded, “You’re just jealous of my style.”
Their human couldn’t help but laugh at the contrast. “You two are a riot,” they said, snapping another photo. The resulting picture was a masterpiece: Obito, the embodiment of holiday cheer, practically glowing in his festive attire, and Athena, the unwilling participant, looking every bit the scrooge with her irritated stare and reluctant pose.
As Obito barked happily, proud of his photogenic success, Athena muttered under her breath, “Next year, I’m hiding the jumpers and the reindeer ears.” The photo perfectly captured their personalities: Obito’s love for the spotlight, Athena’s exasperated tolerance, and the heartwarming charm of their mismatched holiday vibes.

Day 22: Forest Light Walk
Strings of delicate, twinkling lights hung from the branches of the towering trees along the trail, casting a soft, ethereal glow that bathed the snowy landscape in warmth. The lights flickered like stars caught in the branches, their golden hues blending with the cool blue of the evening sky. Each tree, dusted with snow, shimmered in the quiet night, their trunks wrapped in strands of light as if nature itself had been draped in a blanket of festive magic.
Athena trotted ahead, her breath clouding in the cold air, her eyes wide in wonder as she gazed up at the lights dancing in the branches. Every step she took left a trail of pawprints in the pristine snow, a mark of her joy as she ran beneath the glowing canopy. “It’s like we’re walking through a dream,” she whispered, her voice filled with awe.
Obito, lumbering behind her, was less graceful. His large paws shuffled through the snow, and his breath came in cheerful huffs that occasionally turned into muffled sneezes when he sniffed too closely at frosty branches. He wasn’t watching his footing, too mesmerized by the shimmering lights above, and suddenly found himself slipping on a patch of ice. With a yelp that startled a few snow-laden branches, he tumbled sideways into a snowdrift.
“Pfft, I meant to do that,” Obito muttered as he scrambled to his feet, shaking snow off his fur like a fluffy, clumsy snowstorm. The lights reflected in his coat, making him glow with an almost comical radiance, though his unsteady attempts to regain his dignity made Athena giggle.
“Careful, Obito!” she called, stifling her laughter as he trudged forward, now glaring suspiciously at every patch of snow as though it might betray him again.
Despite his missteps, and occasional nose-dives into snowbanks, Obito’s dark eyes softened as he looked at the forest transformed into a sparkling wonderland. The serenity of the scene melted away his embarrassment, and he found himself lifting his head to the sky, feeling a deep, peaceful joy. Even if he was the embodiment of clumsy charm, he couldn’t deny that the magic of the forest seemed to welcome him just as he was.
Together, they wandered through the sparkling woods. Athena danced lightly ahead while Obito lumbered behind, occasionally losing his footing or accidentally getting tangled in a low-hanging string of lights. Each mishap brought laughter, their joy echoing softly in the glowing wonderland around them, hearts full of the beauty, peace and humour of the magical scene.

Day 23: Cookie Exchange with Friends.
The air was crisp and filled with the scent of pine as Athena and Obito's dog friends gathered around the cabin, tails wagging with excitement. Each dog had brought their favorite treat to share, a tradition that filled the day with joy and the promise of something delicious. For Obito, the promise of cookies and delectable bites was the highlight of the season, and his tail wagged double time at the thought. The snow softly fell around them like tiny diamonds, adding a touch of magic to the scene.  
Athena’s ears perked up as she proudly set her pumpkin cookies on the table, the sweet, spicy scent of cinnamon and nutmeg drifting through the air. She watched eagerly as her friends sniffed the treats, their eyes bright with excitement. “These are the best! You’ll love them!” she barked, her tail wagging furiously.  
Meanwhile, Obito’s eyes lit up like Christmas lights as his gaze swept over the wooden table, now overflowing with a delightful variety of cookies and biscuits. His love for all things delicious was no secret, and he could hardly contain himself. “Cookies, glorious cookies!” he rumbled happily, his voice thick with anticipation.  
When his turn came, Obito received a large, bone-shaped peanut butter biscuit, rich, golden, and irresistibly fragrant. Not bothering to savor the aroma, he chomped it down with gusto, his tail wagging furiously. “Delicious!” he exclaimed with a contented sigh, licking every crumb from his lips. He eyed the other treats with a hopeful glance, clearly ready for seconds or thirds.  
Athena laughed, her whole demeanor sparkling with happiness as she watched her friends enjoy themselves. “It’s perfect,” she said with a smile, her tail wagging in rhythm with the joyous atmosphere.  
As the dogs nibbled and swapped their treats, the air was filled with contented growls, happy barks, and the soft crunch of biscuits being enjoyed. Obito managed to charm another friend into sharing a chocolate-free carob cookie, which he devoured with sheer delight. The moment was simple, but for these friends, it was everything, warmth, friendship, and the sweet taste of Christmas, made even sweeter by Obito’s endless love for cookies and all things delicious.

Day 24: Christmas Eve Traditions.
After a hearty dinner of broth-soaked kibble, rich with savory warmth, Athena and Obito settled into their cozy spot by the fire. The flames crackled and popped, casting a soft, flickering glow across the room. The comforting scent of burning wood mingled with the faint, earthy aroma of the evergreens outside. Athena’s belly was full, her body relaxed into the softness of her blanket, and her fur warm and content from the meal.
But tonight, there was more than just relaxation on Athena’s mind. The excitement of the season buzzed through her as she gently nudged Obito, who lay beside her, his massive form stretched out in peaceful repose. "We can't forget the most important thing," she said, her voice a lively whisper.
Obito opened one eye, his dark gaze flickering with curiosity. "And what’s that?" he rumbled softly, his tail thumping lazily against the floor.
Athena sprang to her feet, the firelight catching the shine in her eager eyes. "We have to leave out the bone broth and cookies for Santapaws!" she said, her tail wagging furiously. "And carrots for the reindeer, of course!"
Obito chuckled, a deep and soothing sound. "Ah, yes, Santapaws wouldn’t be pleased if we forgot his snacks. And the reindeer have quite the journey, they’ll need their energy too." He stretched and followed Athena to the little wooden table near the hearth, where she was already nudging a plate into place with her paw.
With great care, Athena placed a plate of cookies they’d saved from the human pantry (with strict orders not to nibble on them beforehand). A shallow bowl of bone broth followed, the liquid gleaming in the firelight. Obito joined in, carrying a bundle of fresh carrots in his mouth, which he set beside the plate.
"They’ll love these," Athena said confidently, arranging the display with a critical eye. She stepped back and tilted her head, surveying their work. The cookies looked inviting, the bone broth was perfectly placed, and the carrots were arranged just so. "Do you think it’s enough?" she asked, glancing at Obito.
"It’s perfect," he assured her, his deep voice filled with warmth. "Santapaws and the reindeer won’t forget to stop here, not with a welcome like this."
Satisfied, Athena settled back onto her blanket, her excitement tempered only slightly by the drowsy warmth of the fire. Obito returned to his spot beside her, his presence solid and reassuring.
"Tomorrow is the big day," Athena murmured as her eyelids drooped, though the sparkle of anticipation remained in her eyes.
"It is," Obito agreed softly. Together, they watched the fire flicker, its crackling flames carrying the promise of tomorrow’s magic. Their home was filled with the quiet peace of Christmas Eve, and the thought of Santapaws’ visit made the night all the more special.

🐾🐾🐾

Athena, Obito, and I want to send you our warmest wishes as you count down to Christmas. This time of year is meant to be filled with joy, wonder, and magical moments, but we also understand how overwhelming it can sometimes feel. In the whirlwind of to-do lists, wrapping paper, and endless preparations, please remember to pause for a moment, take a deep breath, and reflect on the memories of Christmases past. Think of the laughter, the traditions shared with family and friends, and the love that surrounds you.
If, at any point, things don’t go as planned or the magic seems to slip away, know that it’s okay. Christmas isn’t about the perfect presents or the carefully wrapped gifts under the tree. It’s about so much more than that, it’s about the warmth of togetherness, the quiet moments spent with those you love, whether they have two legs or four. It’s about the simple joy of being present, in the company of those who matter most.
So, from the bottom of our hearts, we wish you a very Merry Christmas countdown. May your days be filled with peace, love, and all the little moments that make this season so special.
Toodle pip, 
with love, 
Lainey, Athena, and Obito.
