I’m a bit wrapped up right now, but you should go and open Presents now. Start with the big one I gave you, don’t worry about me, I’ll be there as soon as you’ve opened it. Love Anon.’ >’P.S. I thought you might need these’ >A pair of Ibuprofen pills are taped to the card >I pull the pills from the card and set it aside on my dresser >I put the pills in my mouth and wash them down with the water before stepping out into the hall >I came to the living room and saw a large gift box next to the tree >it was a red (conspicuously anon sized) box with a big bow on the top of the lid >I approached it and kneeled down next to it and gave it a slight shake, it’s something about as heavy as Anon… >”Hmm, I wonder what it could be” I say sarcastically >”I know Anon said to open it now, but I don’t want him to miss out… I guess I’ll just fix some blueberry waffles, his favorite, and wait.” I say, slowly backing into the kitchen >I do my best to keep the box in view as I make breakfast, only looking way to take things out of the cabinet >after about half an hour Anon still has not caved, I’m impressed >I take two plates of waffles back to the living room >I’ll humor him >I kneeled back down next to the box >I pull the lid off the box, revealing- >”Surprise!” Anon screamed as he jumped from the box >I shout as I start to fall backward >it wasn’t painful, but it was enough to make me lose my balance >I land in a sitting position with Anon sitting in my lap >” Merry Christmas Leroy!” >I take a moment to recover from the shock, and to look over Anon >He was wearing a Santa hat, red and white striped socks, and had a red ribbon tied into a bow around his neck >”Merry Christmas, Anon.” I say as I pull him into a hug >I take a moment to savor the hug >I feel his soft warm fur pressed up against my cheek >I hear his breathing slow down after the rush of excitement >I press the tips of my fingernails into the back of his neck, and begin to run them slowly down his spine >Anon let out a long satisfied sigh that lasted until I reached past his wings >at the extent of my reach I lifted my hand and repeated the process >I felt his body relax as he began to slump forward >as Anon relaxed I permitted myself to slowly recline onto the floor >Anon’s head slowly receded from my shoulder, eventually coming to rest on my chest >I propped my head up to look at him >He’s head is on its side, as he smiles at me with half open eyes >I smile back, knowing the warm bliss I’ve given him >He’s easy to please, I could probably keep this up for an hour or two and tell him it was his Christmas present and he would love it >lever the less I did get him gifts, and the breakfast is getting cold >I ran my hand down his back a few more times >I reached up and started to play with his ear for a moment before saying >”Alright Anon let’s open gifts and eat breakfast, I’ll pet you after we’re done” >His smile receded slightly as he gave a disappointed groan >”Ok…”He slowly stands up >”Oh cheer up, you’re about to get free stuff” >He gives a chortle “free is always nice” >”I know it is” I say as I grab a small box from under the tree >I hand it to Anon “Merry Christmas” >He pulls the wrapping paper off with is teeth >He opens the box and pulls out a bowl with ‘Anon’ written on it >”Thanks Leroy I love it!” he says with I grin >”I thought you would” >”My turn.” >he walks under the tree and pushes a box out from under it >”Merry Christmas!” >I pick it up and find that it’s fairly heavy >as I pull the paper off I can read the box >”Anon you didn’t…” >I pull the rest of the paper off and set the box on the floor, carefully. >”You got me a 3D printer?” >”Do you like it?” >”Like it? I love it! Thank you Anon” >I give him a hug >”I’m glad, I couldn’t really afford anything else after I got it” >”I didn’t really expect you to get something this big, I’m glad I got you more than a bowl” >I grab two more boxes from under the tree and hand them to Anon >He pulls open the first one and unfolds the contents >It’s a tan waistcoat with a bowtie and white shirt >”Thanks Leroy, I love it” >”Great, here let me help you get it on” >I get his front legs through the shirt and button him up, then I do the same for the waistcoat >”I’m going to need to take the ribbon off, is that ok” >He nods “yeah that’s fine” >I undo the ribbon around his neck and tie the red bowtie in its place >I step back to admire my handy work >”How do I look?” He asks posing >”Like a College Professor.” I say taking a picture >”The stockings don’t match though” I say as I show it to him >”Yeah, I Love it though” >”I think you’ll like the next one just as much” >He turns to the other package and begins to tear into it >He pulls out an insulated blue jumpsuit tailor fit for a pony >”wow” >”Now you don’t have to worry about getting cold when you fly” >”Thanks Leroy” he says as he gives me a hug  >I scratch behind he’s ears “Speaking of cold, we should probably eat our waffles now” >”Yeah, Could you take the vest and shirt of first. I don’t want them to get messy” >”Shure thing” I say as I unbutton the vest >I set the new clothes on the table >”Oh I almost forgot” Anon says before grabbing a small envelope from under the tree >I take it from him and open it >the only thing inside is a 1Gb flash drive >”what’s this?” >”I looked through my computer and I was able to find the program that I used” >”Really, where was it?” >”In my recycle bin, it should still work if you want to try it” >”Maybe later…” I’m not sure how I feel about being a pony >Anon is happy, but there’s a lot that he can’t do now >Who would take care of us? >”Let’s eat, I’m hungry” >he nods and joins me on the couch >”Want to watch a movie?” I ask >”how about it’s a wonderful life?” >I bring it up >the waffles do not last long, and Anon was expecting to be pet more >”You sure are needy” >”That just make me all the more adorable” >I chuckle as I lift him up and lay down >I lower him back on to my chest >”So shall we start where we left off?” I ask >”Sounds good to me” >”Great, let me get a blanket” >I grab the blanket draped over the back of the couch and spread it over us >I scratch the back of Anon’s head before running my nails down his spine like I did earlier >We sit through most of the movie, just me slowly petting Anon >by the time it ends we’re both on the verge of falling asleep >”Merry Christmas Anon” >”Merry Christmas Leroy”
