Every hearth is crackling with a merry fire, and the scent of spiced wine and savoury dishes wafts out of the kitchen. Outside, the magical snow falls cheerily, covering everything over with a thick, fluffy layer of white.

Everything about this place today cries out home, even more so than usual.

It's Christmas Day.

Bernard grins, a little, and presses a kiss to the crown of her head.

"'Course you will. You did before."

...

No one in this family wins at names, apparently.

"...Wow. That's... very nice, Sunny."

Yep. That about covers it.

"There are two more presents I see under the tree, kiddo. Can you find them?"

"Sunny snap back!" she calls, happily digging into boxes.

In one box, marked 'To Sunny and Anthony' is a complete set of the Pooh books by A. A. Milne.

"Careful, there. There's paper inside as well as out."

She eyes it with confusion when it's opened.

"...Beaw no eat pig?"

She's still eyeing the illustrations.

"Beaw no eat lil' boy?"

"...No. This bear likes honey best of all. He leaves the meat-eating to others."

Bernard gets up off the couch and sits next to her, cross-legged. "We got these for you and Anthony to share, because they're stories we thought you'd like. And here," he drawls, pulling one last, squashy present from under the tree, "is something just for you that's related to the books."

Bernard bursts into snickers.

"No, silly. He's a baby kangaroo. He's in the books, too."

"Oh!" She eyes him with much more interest.

"Name him Pumpewnickel."

"Excellent," she declares, not at all like Mr. Burns, and pulls Pumpernickel over to show him his picture in the book.

"T'ank 'oo Mummy an' Daddy!"

Bernard kisses her warmly, then looks over at Dora, grinning.

"You're welcome, sweetheart."
