older brother died day after xmas, parents are too distraught to do xmas the next year, it bothers the younger son....

decorations start appearing, younger son gets blamed, he gets mad, classmate says maybe its the ghost of his brother, younger brother says they're crazy and gets mad but then rethinks it, convinces himself its his brother, stuff keeps appearing, sneaks out christmas eve, meets ghost brother, they wait for santa together b/c they can't pull off something impressive enough to make their parents get it on their own, santa santafies the house, gives both the parents bicycles and a card that says the same thing the dad told the boys when he was teaching them how to ride on past christmases: "you can't stop pedalling; you have to keep going", parents finally get it, younger brother is happy.

the end.

(fuck, that was easy, why did i write like 7000 words?!?)

- thanks. i'm pretty proud of it actually. i wasn't sure i could get back to being christmasy starting at the low point, and make it believable. - TFox Dec 17, 07:25 1
