Mommy Saw Me Kissing Santa Claus

In many ways, Flurry Heart was a perfectly normal little girl. Which meant that during the Christmas season, she wanted many things. And one of the things she wanted most was to see Santa Claus in person. Also like any normal kid.

But then again, she was the niece of Twilight Sparkle. So, while Flurry was a normal girl in many ways, in some, she was very abnormal. Which meant that after she fell asleep four years in a row, trying to stay up, she decided to change tactics. She snuck in an afternoon nap while her parents were prepping the bird, and then snuck one of her dad’s energy drinks to make sure that when she went to bed that evening, she wouldn’t end up going to sleep, anyways.

Her plan worked perfectly, though Old Saint Nick was a little later than expected. A little after one, Flurry heard muffled thumping from below, and snuck out.

Peeking around the corner, down the stairs, Flurry did indeed see Santa, who was not as round as pictures had led her to expect. He was big, but more muscular than fat. Though she barely noticed that at first, because she also saw her mommy, with her arms wrapped around the man in the red suit and wearing his hat.

Even though her parents tried to hide it, Flurry knew that her mommy sometimes kissed other men the same way she kissed Daddy. And other women, too—which Daddy also did. She had only the vaguest idea of what that meant. She mostly just knew that parents didn’t usually do that kind of thing.

Then again, the little girl figured, kissing was supposed to be fun. And if anyone deserved to have fun, it was Santa Claus. After all, you could only eat so much of anything. Even milk and cookies, she knew from personal experience.

What she saw next, though, she’d never forget…
