MERRY CHRISTMAS! :D I hope you all have been having the time of your lives, and if not, maybe this story will cheer you up!

Now I know I've built up your expectations for the ending of this tag; you're probably expecting something pretty dang amazing. This last installment might not live up to that expectation, but I tried my best.

R&R!

And a Demigod Named Percy (A/N: Of my options for the last chapter, this one was the best and the easiest to write to.)

Thump thump

Something was banging on the door of Percy's cabin.

"Come on, Perrrrrcy! Wake up!" Percy recognized the voice of his best friend, Grover. "It's Christmas morning! We all have presents down at the tree! Get up!"

Percy groaned and rolled over in bed. The fact that is was Christmas morning hadn't reached his sleepy brain yet, and he was still exhausted from the festivities of Christmas Eve.

Eventually, Grover had to stomp into the cabin, yank the blankets off of his bed, and drag him out into the pleasant morning air. Percy yawned, stretching his arms up into the air.

"Alright, man, I'm up, I'm up!" He extracted his arm from Grover's eager grip and straightened his sweater; the one he'd received from Chiron as his secret Santa gift. He ran a hand through his unruly hair, trying unsuccessfully to tame it, and followed Grover down to the tree.

Most of the other campers were already tearing through their wrapping paper, examining their gifts, hugging their friends, or just watching the chaos.

Annabeth was sitting with Hazel, Frank, Jason, Piper, Leo, and Juniper. Grover trotted over to them; Percy was close behind.

After all the gifts had been exchanged and the mugs of hot chocolate had been passed out, fresh and filled with marshmallows, Chiron stood to address the camp.

"Good morning everyone, and merry Christmas!" he began, his greeting responded by a chorus of Merry Christmases. "I assume you are all anxious to hear the results of the decorating contest?" Immediately, the camp fell silent.

Chiron reached behind his back and pulled out a hat.

"The judges were unable to decide on one winner, so we placed the top five cabins into this hat, and I will pick the winner. The top five are the Hermes cabin, the Hephaestus cabin, the Athena cabin, the Hades cabin, and the Poseidon cabin!"

Percy was shocked. He'd never expected to get this far in the contest.

"And the winner is..." Chiron paused dramatically, "the Poseidon cabin!" The cabins that weren't in the top five cheered and slapped Percy on the back.

I won! Percy thought to himself joyfully.

Percy and his friends spent the rest of the day relaxing, messing with their gifts, and just enjoying each other's company. The entire bag of blue candy that Percy's mom had sent was gone within an hour, and there were many pairs of sticky blue hands circulating around camp.

Everyone in the camp was wearing their favorite ugly Christmas sweaters, and the Stolls had even dolled out some last minute Santa hats.

Once again, Leo closely resembled one of Santa's elves, thanks to the hat, and he got lots of comments throughout the day about his appearance. But due to his sugar rush, he didn't care enough to fight back, to the teasing was ignored.

When it was finally dinner time, Chiron let Percy take his plate and travel through the fancy Christmas buffet line first, as the winner of the cabin decorating contest had been promised.

He stuffed enough food on his plate to feed a small army; he just kept stacking it and stacking it until he could stack no more.

He inhaled the sweet, delicious scent of the food and smiled.

He turned and looked at his friends; laughing and joking around, standing together, looking happy. Percy's lips curled into another smile.

As he was scraping portions of his meal into the fire, he sent a silent prayer to the gods along with his offering.

Thank you, he thought, for giving me, I mean US, the best Christmas ever.

THE END! I hope you all enjoyed this set of one-shots. I tried to write cute, funny, spirited stories that brought Christmas cheer to you all during the lovely holiday season!

I really do hope I succeeded!
