I’m going to try to keep a schedule of having 2 snippets per month.<\/span><\/p>\n

This may not always happen but I’ll work towards the goal<\/span><\/p>\n

For this snippet – figured give you Benji’s reaction to his Christmas gift – from<\/span> The Hunt For Pooh<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wilhelm smiled over his cup of coffee at how excited Benji was over the gifts under the tree.<\/span><\/p>\n

They normally don’t to go all out, with the tree and trimmings.\u00a0 Sometimes they are lucky if they are home, whichever home that maybe.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This Christmas, they were back with the Clan.\u00a0 \u00a0There was a huge tree downstairs in the main ballroom.\u00a0 Actually there were trees everywhere, but the clan dinner is always set up in the ballroom.\u00a0 Wenceslaus and Cinderella were out working in the local soup kitchens, handing out food and gifts to the kids.\u00a0 \u00a0Wilhelm had taken Benji out the night before to one of the churches that was giving out gifts and food to families in the area.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This morning, was just them.\u00a0 They were in their rooms, with a over the top decorated tree, the living area was decked out in all it’s Christmas finery.\u00a0 Mary had out done herself, as usually.\u00a0 Like any of the Clan Caretakers, it was a military campaign during the variety of holidays through the year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s nice just the two of us.”\u00a0 Benji sipped his own coffee smiling at his Mate. “It’s been a weird year. I swear you were off at least once a month, and then those odd missions at the end of this year.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Wilhelm bit back a small grimace. “About that.”\u00a0 He set his coffee down, and went into the closet and pulled out a wrapped gift.\u00a0 \u00a0He handed it to Benji with a smile.\u00a0 “Some of those missions was getting you this.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Benji gave him a look, setting his own cup down and quickly ripped the paper to see a frame filled with Winnie The Pooh pins.\u00a0 \u00a0He got rid of the rest of the paper and gasped at the whole thing.\u00a0 He held it with both hands and leaned back to admire each pin.\u00a0 \u00a0“Wil….”\u00a0 It suddenly clicked.\u00a0 “You went to Disneyland every month to get this?”<\/span><\/p>\n

Brandt laughed.\u00a0 “All over.”\u00a0 He settled next to his Mate.\u00a0 “Let me tell you each months’ story.”<\/span><\/p>\n

After hearing the story, Benji wiped the tears away, then gently put down the precious gift.\u00a0 He crawled into Wilhelm’s lap smiling. “You did that all for me?”<\/span><\/p>\n

“I would not do it again.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Benji laughed then kissed him deeply.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
