Favorite Christmas memory;
It felt as if it were going to be another lonely Christmas for me. Snow had slowly started falling around me in large fluffy clumps. I shiver and breathe out on my front paws, trying to keep myself warm.
Besides, who would even give a jellybean dragon such as me a second glance? I’ve been wandering the streets so long my fur is now clumped in parts and a fine layer of dirt tainted my fur.
As I gazed at the people as well as other jellybean dragons rush around to get home to their families for the holidays I failed to see one of the humans approach me. The sound of her voice at first scared me, since I was not expecting anyone to approach me at the state I am in. But her soothing voice calmed me. She smiled at me when everyone else would wrinkle their noses and look away. It sent a warm feeling threw out my body.
She then offered me the unthinkable, offered to have me join her and her family for Christmas. I was unsure at first but that smile she gave me melted away my doubts.
She took me to her home which was pretty small with not much furniture but rather tons of books and art tools. Regardless it felt like a home, comfortable and safe. For the first time in months I was able to bathe, she helped me smooth out the clumps in my fur though some had to be sniped off due to how badly tangled the fur was but it didn’t matter, it just felt good to be clean.
I was later on able to meet her family which consisted of a group of cat like creatures that also seemed like dragons but with horns and wings. They were nice to me and I was able to befriend three of them, though the other four were pretty quiet and kept to themselves.
The human who took me in then offered me these strange tree shaped cookies, they were small and white with red and green spots but the bottoms were dark brown.
One of the horned dragons mumbled to me that the human forgot to take the cookies out when the timer rang so the cookies might be a bit burnt at the bottom. Regardless I chomped away at the cookies. I never tasted anything so amazing! I guess it’s from the lack of food out in the streets that even half burnt cookies tasted heavenly.
While I was eating away the human smiled again at me and asked me. “Do you have a name?”
I paused and looked down at the cookies, a name…I never was given a name. No one really cared enough to give one to me so I shook my head.
The human gave a strange look and then told me. “No? But everyone needs a name…”
Then with a large smile the human told me. “I know! I’ll give you a name and if you want you can stay here with me, of course you are welcome to leave whenever you want but if you ever want to stay you’re allowed.”
The human just looked at me face and to my surprise used her hand to brush crumbs off the fur around my mouth. “Hmm…how about I call you Crumbs? Oh and so people know you have a home…”
She tied a bell around my tail.
I smiled brightly and nodded, not only did I now have a home but also a name. It was truly the best Christmas ever.
