'Twas the night before Christmas And all through the house Not a creature was stirring Not even a mouse. Hello, everyone. In case you're wondering why I quoted "A Visit from St. Nicholas", it's because it's that time again.  Yes, it's Christmas Eve, and I wanted to wish all my watchers and everyone else here a very Merry Christmas. But, as you're preparing your Christmas dinners for tomorrow, I would like you all to be reminded why this holiday was founded.  This holiday was founded because we humans received the greatest Christmas present of all: The Christ, God the Son.  Yes, without him being born, we wouldn't even have Christmas. So, while you're all ripping into your presents tomorrow morning, be sure to take time from your busy holiday preparations to pray to the Christ, and thank him for His arrival into this world. Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year to everyone.

At last, the young James Hook cheered to himself as he led the young Tinker Fairy, her hands cuffed behind her back, onto the Jolly Roger's main deck, Tinker Bell will join my crew. As the pirate captain paraded on the deck and showed Tink off to his crew, she was thinking to herself, This guy is so full of himself.  If Peter hadn't left me, I wouldn't even be joining this crew. "Loyal crew, I come bearing good news," Hook crowed.  "After so much pain to rid Neverland of the accursed Peter Pan, we will soon be free to roam the Seven Seas.  Behold!  I give you Pan's once loyal confidant... Tinker Bell.  Today is the day she joins our noble crew." "Exactly what do you mean by ' Once loyal confidant'?" asked one crewman.  "And what makes you think she'll be joining us?" On this, Tinker Bell decided, A little Pixie Dust should break the language barrier between me and them.   And then, she shook her head, releasing the

Grunting and squirming in obvious resistance as these soldiers held her against her will and boxed her in so she couldn't escape, the lovely Megara struggled to get away from this army who had invaded Greece and captured her.  Unfortunately, Megara's captors were insistent on not letting her get away as she was insistent on refusing to accept her helplessness. The shackles that bound her hands behind her back exacerbated the situation even further, because the harder she squirmed and struggled, the deeper their cold metal grip bit into her wrists.  She didn't know which grip was worse: the grip on her arms from the soldiers restraining her, or the cold metal grip of the shackles binding her.  Either way, she was trapped with no way out. The soldiers stopped in front of a throne where, it seemed, no one was seated.  Megara grunted and squirmed harder as she ordered, "Release me, you no-good pompous losers!  I am NOT someone's prize!  DO YOU HEAR ME?!  I SAID LET ME

Princess Jasmine resisted the urge to shudder or scream as she felt a gaunt hand stroking her bare shoulder.  She dared not look behind her, as she knew who was caressing her.  It was Jafar.  Not too long ago, he'd made a deal with the wicked Ayam Aghoul: Three days of life to snuff out the flame of hope that burned in the heart of the Princess of Agrabah.  Jafar had wasted no time in recovering his Snake Staff and brainwashing all of Agrabah's Royal Guards, turning them against poor Jasmine and ordering them to bring her before him. Now, as Jasmine sat with her wrists shackled before the new Sultan, feeling like nothing more than a plaything as Jafar caressed her against her will, she scanned the area, looking for some kind of weapon she could use to her advantage, or any magical artifact that could help her escape her torment.  Unfortunately, she found nothing. "Now, now, little Princess, you should be proud to be chosen as my new toy," Jafar told her as he used bot

Despite putting up a brave fight against the colonists who invaded Motunui, Princess Moana and several of her subjects had been captured and taken prisoner.  As the young heroine is led off the gangway of the colonists' ship, her eyes scan the crowd frantically for another of her people or a family member.  Little does she know, her mother Sina was taken captive and being led off another of the colony of ships that invaded Motunui. "Keep your sight ahead of you," the soldier who held Moana ordered through clenched teeth.  "You won't be seeing your home ever again.  But don't fret.  We'll give you a new life in this city." "What kind of new life?" the helpless Moana asked, obviously terrified. "We've been monitoring you and your natives," the soldier told her.  "You move like an acrobat.  So, we've decided to place you in the one place you'd be very compatible in." Moana cast a sidelong glance and furrowed her

Anna had believed that Prince Hans had been dealt with after her sister had banished him from Arendelle for his hostile takeover attempt.  But, she was wrong.  As soon as Elsa had left the kingdom on a diplomatic mission to Corona, Hans took his chance and used Dark magic offered to him by a "Zhan Tiri" (whoever that was) and changed the allegiance of Arendelle's police force so that they would be loyal to him alone.  And it was at this point that Princess Anna was labeled as Public Enemy Number One, ordered to be arrested on sight and brought to Hans for her sentence. "Ahh, Princess Anna," Hans mocked her as the brainwashed officers brought her before him in the throne room.  "Bow before your new King." "The floor hasn't been swept in a while," Anna fired back.  "I don't think so." "I SAID KNEEL!"  Hans ordered loudly, and fired a magic bolt on the Princess, causing her to groan and fall to her knees.  "That&
