The magic of a childhood Christmas

[Samuel Connor Rees]

Sure, why would't vampire bunny have a nest under a tree. In stories vampires needed a dark place to hide during the day and a nest under a tree was a nice idea. He had no idea why would the bunny be attacking postman, but he saw dogs doing that, so why not vampire bunnies? It was completely plausible. The girl who put the postman started to develop a defence against the bunny. Sam felt like he should help his new friend. He looked at the gingerbread characters. He quickly pulled out a snowman. 
"Everyone knows, that snowmen don't like bunny hunters." he said so confidently, that he surprised even himself. It almost was convincing enough so it didn't need any explanation. He started to work on his bunny hunter disliking snowman. 
He was so much concentrating on his work that he completely missed Stephen's dad entering the tent. He missed the few words of their dialogue but he caught on when Stephen started explaining what they were doing. When he introduced him, Sam felt back in his shy bubble. 
"Uhm... hello mister." he said sheepishly. He wasn't quite sure what he should do or say next, so he was just standing there with the unfinished snowman before him. It was a bit shame, that Stephen's dad didn't have his tools with him, because the hanging stars would look quite good.
