won...!''

''Nice work... Dingo...!'' Kodi congratulated to him, collapsing to the floor among with the others.

''Well, this breaks the record of your team, Kodi.'' Balto said, coming up to his sons.

''It's okay... I don't... really... care...'' Kodi said. ''It was... for fun... after... all...''

''You bet...'' Dingo panted.

''Tayer, you did a great work!'' Shira said proudly, nuzzling him. ''You're sure a good runner!''

''Thanks... mom...!'' Tayer said.

''You know, I hope I can join the sled team.'' Rodney said, impressed with the run.

''You're not the only one, you know.'' Sarah and Taiga added.

''That's not... a problem...'' Dana panted. ''I intend... to deliver... mail for... a few... years... then I will... retire...''

''Same...'' Dusty said. ''The family... might... get bigger...''

''True...'' Kodi said, smiling to his mate.

While Kirby had no intentions for a retirement very soon, Ralph seemed so, as he after the rest was seem flirting with Alice once again.

Some time later...

The snow in Nome was falling more and more, indicating that the true winter was coming up there.

And then, from one house, a young red female husky with blue eyes and blue collar with a golden tag, Aurona, headed out of her house.

Aurona, unlike many of her cousins (with the exception of her wolf cousins of course), remained unadopted, but not stray. Like her cousin Ryan, she lived with her parents.

Aurona decided to visit either one of her sisters: Rose or Holly. Since they both lived in the same street, she decided to visit Rose first.

As she was passing by the General Store, a shopkeeper came out of the store, holding a bag of beef jerky in one hand and the ladders in the other hand.

''Hey there, girl.'' The shopkeeper said, noticing Aurona walking by. ''Would you like some beef jerky?''

Aurona walked towards the shopkeeper. Since she didn't want to do mean things, she was looking at the human with insurance.

''Don't worry.'' The shopkeeper petted her. ''It's a free bag from me. The Christmas is coming!''

Upon mentioning Christmas, Aurona looked at him with curiousity, but she decided to take the bag. Since she wasn't some big eater in the family, she decided to give it to her dad.

Aurona took the bag while the shopkeeper started decorating the Store with the Christmas decorations while singing the Christmas songs.

''I'll give this to dad first.'' Aurona thought to herself. ''Then I'll go to Rose or Holly.''

Aurona entered the house she lived in with her parents. Thunder was with his owner in the kitchen while Nunivat was sleeping near the fireplace.

''Hey, mom.'' Aurona greeted her mother, who slowly woke up.

''Hey, sweetheart.'' Nunivat greeted her. Then she noticed the bag of beef jerky in her mouth. ''Aurona? You didn't steal that, did you?''

''What? No!'' Aurona said. ''The human who owns the store gave it to me for free.''

''Are you sure?'' Nunivat asked.

''Yeah.'' Aurona said. ''He said that the Christmas is coming so he gave it to me.''

Upon mentioning Christmas, Nunivat smiled because of mentioning it and also because Aurona was sincere.

''Did I miss something?'' Thunder asked, coming in the living room.

''Not much, dad.'' Aurona said. ''The store owner gave me the bag of beef jerky, but I think you can have it.''

''No need to.'' Thunder smiled, but decided to take one piece. ''How come he gave it to you?''

''He said that the Christmas is coming.'' Aurona said. ''What's the Christmas?''

''Christmas is the most beautiful day in the year.'' Thunder commented, happy upon hearing the Christmas. ''It's the day where everyone shares their love and care for the others.''

''Cool!'' Aurona said, excited.

''I think that our other pups should know about this.'' Nunivat said, getting up and heading out. ''I'll be back soon!''

After Nunivat left the house, Aurona asked her dad: ''Dad? Why did mom get worried when I came with the bag of beef jerky?''

''Your mom is very conscientous.'' Thunder explained to her. ''She doesn't want the bad things to happen to any of us in family.''

''I understand.'' Aurona said. ''Thanks, dad.''

''You're welcome, Aurona.'' Thunder said, nuzzling his daughter.

Soon enough, Nunivat returned with Nova, Rose, Phoenix and Holly. All of them seemed to be interested about the Christmas.

''My owner said that he'd get a Christmas tree today.'' Rose said.

''Same with mine.'' Phoenix added. ''In fact, he already went to get one.

''That Christmas sounds interesting.'' Nova commented.

''Yeah.'' Holly said. ''Mom? Dad? What's a Christmas anyways?''

Nunivat and Thunder looked at each other and smiled, since they knew it was a proper moment to tell their pups about Christmas.

''Well, sit down and have some beef jerky.'' Thunder said.

''And let us tell you what the Christmas is.'' Nunivat smiled to them all.

As the pups were sitting down and eating beef jerky patiently, Nunivat and Thunder were telling them what the Christmas was.

''Sounds awesome!'' Holly said, impressed by the story. ''I can't wait for Christmas now!''

''Same!'' Rose said. ''What if we make some kind of Christmas party?''

''Yeah, why not?'' Phoenix asked. ''If the humans can celebrate, why can't we?''

''Mom, how about we all celebrate?'' Nova suggested. ''All seven of us and the whole family!''

''What do you think?'' Aurona asked.

''I like it!'' Nunivat smiled. ''We should inform the others.''

''Right.'' Thunder said. ''I'll go tell Yukon about it.''

''Sure.'' Nunivat said. ''I'll go see Aleu and Kenai and ask them if they, among with their pups will come.''

''I'll see grandpa Balto then.'' Nova said.

''I'm going to grandma Jenna if so.'' Rose added.

''Well, I'll ask aunt Saba about the party then.'' Aurona said.

''Okay.'' Phoenix said. ''I'll ask uncle Dingo if he's up for the party.''

''I'll ask uncle Kodi if he wants to celebrate.'' Holly finished.

''Okay, let's go tell them!'' Nunivat and Thunder said, leaving the house with their pups. They all went into different directions.

Later...

All seven of them returned home one by one. They all managed to tell their family about the Christmas party in the boiler room. Apparently, some other dogs were going to join the party.

''Yukon and his pups were fine with it.'' Thunder said. ''Had to explain to Yin and Yang what the Christmas is.''

''Same with Aleu and Kenai.'' Nunivat added. ''Kenai never heard of Christmas before. After that, they went to inform their pups.''

''Grandpa Balto is up for the party.'' Nova said.

''Same with grandma Jenna.'' Rose said. ''She'll be with her owners until the noon, then she'll join us later.''

''Aunt Saba's fine with that.'' Aurona said. ''She, uncle Josh and Alaska and Dakotah are coming.''

''Uncle Dingo's coming with his family.'' Phoenix said. ''I bet Galena's going to ask Tayer's family to join.''

''Uncle Kodi is coming.'' Holly added in the end. ''Same with the others in his house.''

''Great!'' Nunivat exclaimed. Then all of her pups except Aurona went home.

Few days later...

Rosy was sleeping in her bed peacefully. Then she felt that something wet was nudging her, causing Rosy to wake up.

''Jenna?'' Rosy asked, noticing that Jenna was happily waking her up. ''Morning, Jenna.''

When Rosy opened her eyes wide, she saw that Jenna was wearing a red hat with a bell on it's top and that she was waving with her tail.

''What?'' Rosy asked, but then she remembered.

''It's Christmas!'' Rosy exclaimed happily, getting up and hugging Jenna. ''Merry Christmas, Jenna!''

Jenna barked happily as Rosy was snuggling against her scarlett-red fur. Rosy ran out of her room, saying: ''Mom! Dad! It's Christmas!!''

Immediately after, Rosy's parents woke up and wished the Christmas to each other, Rosy, and of course, Jenna. Jenna saw this day as one of the most beautiful ones lately.

After some family hanging out, Jenna left her house by the noon and headed to the boiler room, where she saw many dogs going there.

Soon enough, Jenna entered the boiler room and saw her friends there, wishing them Christmas. Of course, Balto was waiting there for her.

''Merry Christmas,
