"So do you live here or did you came for Christmas vacations?"Theo asked them.

"Oh...We just moved in and we decided to take a look around. Your shop really caught our eyes,its amazing!" The man said. "Well nice to meet you! I am Maya and he is my husband, Theo. This cutie here is Ember" Maya introduced her family.

"Well nice to meet you too! I am Joy and here is Josh. And of course my little prince Ash!"Joy said with a warm smile.

"Well whatever you need, we are here!" Theo said and they continued talking for a bit. After a while they exchanged numbers and they left." See you again soon!" Maya and Theo yelled. "Bye bye"

"How lucky we are to meet such kind-hearted people "Joy said and Josh couldn't help but agree."Heh, our dear Ash might make his first friend. She looks kind and really sweet. Can't wait to get to know them more!" They said and walked back home.

Those days were busy for Theo and Maya, after all Christmas were just a few days away. The only sound in the shop was the little bell on the door,it never stopped ringing. After countless hours they closed for the day."Ugh....I wonder how busy we will be on Christmas Eve.."Maya said as she rubbed her forehead."We will manage,like we always do"Theo said and hugged her.

Ember couldn't help but be sad for her parents, they were getting more and more tired as the days passed. Theo noticed Ember in the corner sulking and smiled. He went near her and picked her up."Why is my angel sad?"He asked and Maya also join them."Well... I feel like I am burden...Is there something i can do to help mommy?"Ember asked on the verge of crying."Oh my goodness!Ember you shouldn't be thinking like that."Theo said and Maya immediately hugged her daughter."Honey, you know how much we love you"She said and teared up a little. "So is there anything i can do?"Ember asked with hope."Hmmm..." Theo and Maya looked at each others eyes and smiled.

The next morning came and and the shop was full.

"Mommy! Daddy! Look i made another one!!!"Ember yelled, refering to a new Christmas ornament."Haha...i knew this job would fit her"Theo said."I guess great minds do think alike"Maya said and smirked looking at Theo."You are lucky we are in the shop darling..."He said and went to help the customers."Heh....This man will never change"

And just like this Ember felt happy, being able to do something for her parents. Time passed and the shop began to quiet. "Ahem...Hellooo?"Joy said. "Oh...One second please!" Maya said from the the storage."Oh of course" Joy yelled and started to look around ."It's so beautiful.."She admired the shop. "Hello,welcome back!" Maya said. "Hi, i came to greet you since i was in the neighbourhood.."Joy said and Maya immediately understood something was off."Is something wrong?"Maya asked worry in her eyes."Well....You know Christmas is literally tomorrow...and..."Joy was embarrassed to say what was in her mind but Maya caught to it."Hmm... Tomorrow we are free and ahem...if you would like we could spent Christmas together!"Maya said and smiled. Joy almost teared up as she hugged Maya.Well, they didn't had anyone here and they were sad to spent Christmas just the three of them. Joy and Josh wanted Ash to have someone around him in his age...

"Heh...no need to worry. Like we said we got you guys. And Ember will be very happy to have a friend,trust me!" Maya said and patted her back.
