*Sandra looks excited, and is following Ken close behind, who looks bored and slightly annoyed.*
Sandra : ...and we decorate a tree with lights and ornaments and stuff and...
Ken : Fascinating...
Sandra : *Looking a bit less excited* ...and we uh... decorate the outside of the house too and...
Ken : Amaaaazing....
*Ken walks in a different direction, obviously not caring or listening. Sandra looks desperate to get him excited about Christmas.*
Sandra : ...and we uhm... give gifts and it's... fun...
Ken : Hmm.
*There's a moment of awkward silence as Ken raids the fridge for something to eat, completely ignoring Sandra. Sandra looks flustered. Ken stands upwards with an apple in hand, and takes a bite.*
Ken : Just face it Sandra. *crunch crunch* I'm not the kind of person to get excited over this "Christmas" thing. -_-
*Ken walks away, with Sandra still looking flustered. She suddenly has an outburst.*
Sandra : Be excited in Christmas damn you! D:
*Ken turns around, looking annoyed.*
Ken : No.
*Sandra watches him walk away.*
Sandra : Someone's going to be on Santa's naughty list. -3-
*Ken stops. Sandra looks at him, confused. Ken looks back at her slightly, real Ken has taken control again. He looks innocent and fascinated, just like a little kid.*
Ken : S... Santa...?
Sandra : No way... o_o
*Ken walks up to Sandra quickly and gets up in her face. He looks curious, and is very interested in Santa.*
Ken : Really? Will he really come? For real?
Sandra : Urm... uh... >_>;
*Sandra looks confused, and is obviously not sure what to do. She looks around for anyone, and only sees Justin walking down the hall. He notices Ken and Sandra, and walks up.*
Justin : What's going on? o.o
Sandra : Well uh...
*Ken looks at them and his eyes are gleaming.*
Ken : Santa! Santa's coming! biggrin
Justin : Santa? Oh yeah, Santa! Santa is coming!

*Later. You see Ken and Justin, enthusiastically decorating the house. Amanda, Liam, Rick, and Sandra are working too, but not as enthusiastically.*
Amanda : Who would've thought? And I thought everyone stopped believing in Santa when they turned 12!
Liam : It's pretty cute, actually... *Haha*
Sandra : Well at least it got him to help us for Christmas... I just hope he doesn't embarrass himself or anything.
*Sandra stares at Ken, who has a bright smile on his face while he decorates. He looks thrilled, and Sandra smiles as well.*
Sandra : I've never seen him this excited before, though...
*Later. Justin is heading off to bed, and the entire room is decorated. Ken is looking around bright eyed, and walking around the room. He trips suddenly, and hits his head on the ground.*
Sandra : Ah! Are you alright Ken?
*Ken sits up, looking irritated. He's changed back to Dark Ken.*
Ken : Hmph. Yeah.
*Ken looks at Sandra, and notices that she's looking at him funny. He sighs.*
Ken : I don't believe in Santa. Only Ken does.
Sandra : Oh... really?
Ken : Yeah.
*Ken looks across the room, and his eyes glaze over.*
Ken : Back when Ken was younger, about 8, he met "Santa".
*A flashback starts. You see Ken walking around outside, looking at the various Christmas decorations. He looks confused.*
Ken : What... is this?
Santa : Hohoho!!
*Ken jumps, and turns around. He sees Santa sitting on a bench with "elves" around him, a kid is sitting on his lap and talking to him. The child gets up, and walks to his mother happily. They walk away. Ken stares at Santa, looking bewildered. Santa notices him.*
Santa : Hohohello there little boy! And what would you like for Christmas?
*Ken stares at him confused.*
Ken : ...m-me?
Santa : Oh but of course! Come on over here, so I can get a better look at you!
*Ken looks shy, but walks over to him slowly. One of Santa's "elves" picks him up and puts him on Santa's lap. Ken looks frightened, but Santa holds him tightly.*
Santa : So then, what would you like for Christmas?
Ken : Uh... uhm... >.>;;;
Santa : Oh, don't be shy now.
Ken : I.. don't know...
Santa : You don't know? Well then, how about...
*Santa reaches down into a large red sack next to him. He pulls out a ball.*
Santa : How about this nice, red, ball?
*Ken looks fascinated with the ball, and Santa hands it to him.*
Ken : Th... thank you...
Santa : Why, you're welcome!
*One of Santa's "elves" takes Ken off Santa's lap. Ken is clutching the ball tightly, and starts walking away.*
Santa : Merry Christmas, and a happy New Year!
Ken : *Thinking* Wow... He was nice...
*The flashback ends. You see Ken talking.*
Ken : ...and ever since then, Ken thought that old guy in a red suit was some magical, gift giving person. Pathetic, I know.
*Ken looks up and notices that Sandra, Amanda, and Liam look teary eyed, amazed by the story.*
Amanda : Poor little Ken! His first and only Christmas present!
Liam : Keep believing little guy, keep believing...
Sandra : So then... how is Ken reacting to you saying all this?
Ken : Crying and yelling at me like a little kid. -_-
*You see a image of Ken behind Ken's head, with Ken shaking his fists and crying saying "Nuh uh!" and "Santa is TOO real! D:"*
Sandra : Don't make him cry!! ;~;
*On Christmas morning, the six of them are all waking up. Rick and Ken are standing next to each other, talking.*
Rick : We go to William's house each year for Christmas. We eat breakfast, we open presents, it's nice. Not even you'll dislike it.
*Sandra jumps up behind them.*
Sandra : *Happily* No one can dislike Christmas! 8D
*You see them at William's gigantic house, staring down awkwardly at something on the floor.*
Sandra : Well.. except for her...
*On the floor is a kicking and screaming little girl, whom Sebastian is trying to calm down, while William happily strolls past her to welcome everyone.*
William : Hi guys! Welcome! Merry Christmas! =D
Sandra : Merry Christmas to you too William... and how about you Molly? Are you excited for Christmas? :>
*The girl on the ground, Molly, looks up angrily.*
Molly : *Screaming* SHUT UP!
*Molly stomps off into the dining room angrily. There's an awkward silence in the room, and Sandra looks nervous. William breaks the silence.*
William : Oh yeah, Sam and Samuel are in the dining room! >_>;
*They walk into the dining room after taking their jackets off, and sure enough Sam and Sam are sitting right there at the table. Sam gets up to hug Sandra, and Samuel
