Hello, I am etaf, a Palestinian living now in Egypt with my family after we managed to escape from Gaza when all our property was destroyed, and we returned from scratch in this life. When we escaped to Egypt, we did not think of anything other than feeling safe from the fear we were facing in Gaza, but unfortunately I did not expect that life would become this difficult, after we left with nothing, no home, no money, no clothes, no family, we are facing something beyond human imagination. When I ask for help, I cry a lot because we are not used to that. We used to live in beautiful palaces, have a job, and a beautiful life, and now we have become nothing!💔
Our source of income was destroyed and the new merchandise was burned. 💔
We are now facing daily challenges to survive—things that most people take for granted, 💔 Lost Stability: The war has left us without work or a stable source of income. 🍞 Basic Needs: Food and Children's needs, rent, education, and other basic living requirements. are becoming harder to afford with rising prices .
📚 Dreams on Hold: Loss of family and loved ones Like so many here, my family’s dreams have been replaced by the need to simply survive. 😢

The Max vs George drama is so funny to me because they just need to take a chill pill
Happy Holidays!
when i say i hate men, i do not mean him. he is the exception.
My name is Shada Kassab, and I am a 24-year-old mother living in Gaza. Every day is a fight for survival for me, my husband Hussein, and our baby boy Adam, who is just five months old.
Our lives have been turned upside down by war. My home has been reduced to rubble, and my husband lost his water truck, which was our only source of income. We’ve been forced to evacuate twice—from Deir el Balah to the Nuseirat camp—and now, we live in constant fear of what the future holds.
To make matters worse, Adam was born with clubfoot and urgently needs surgery. The cost for his treatment and specialized medical boots is at least $3000, but this surgery isn’t even possible in Gaza.
I recently graduated as a nurse, and I dream of building a better life for my family. But to do that, we must leave Gaza and start over in safety.
💔 I need your help to save my family and give Adam a future. Even a small donation 5$ can bring us closer to safety, and if you can’t donate, sharing our story means the world to us.
I dream of living in safety, of seeing Adam grow up healthy, and of building a better life for us all. Please don’t give up on us. Your kindness can make all the difference.
❤️ Thank you for taking the time to read this. Your support and compassion give us strength to keep going.
this is so cute
I SAW MOMMY KISSING SANTA CLAUS
Charles Leclerc x Reader
Warnings: nothing just fluff, use of Y/n + fem!R, use of petnames, husband/dad!Charles content, i chose the names of the children because yes, also Aurora is the same kid from this story (it's not a part 2, i just wanted to keep the name because i really like it^^).
Translated english + french because they're not my first languages so feel free to correct me.
///
"Aurora, darling, it's time to go to sleep"
"Non maman (no), i'm too excited, i can't go to sleep!"
A loud sigh escaped your lips, but you couldn't help but smile at the sight of your daughter bouncing around on her bed, agitated. The reason? Well because it was Christmas Eve and your daughter couldn't wait for Santa Claus to arrive at your house to leave presents under your tree.
"Aren't you tired?" you tried to ask, looking at her while placing your hands on your hips.
Aurora shook her head frantically with a smile.
"No no~"
"Not even a little?" you continued to ask her, but she gave you the same answer.
Unlike Aurora, however, little Louis, her younger brother and your second-born, was calmly standing next to you, while he hugged your leg and stared at his sister who was jumping from one side of the bed to the other, full of energy.
It was then that someone else entered the room, speaking behind you.
"Sweetheart, Santa Claus doesn't come to the homes of children who are awake, you know that right?"
Aurora stopped and you and she both turned to look at Charles, who was standing behind you.
"Really?" she asked, her eyes widening and you nodded, letting her know that Charles was right.
You saw her flop onto the mattress, sitting on top of the covers and bouncing a few times.
"But-But i HAVE to see him! I want to see Santa and tell him thank you for all the presents he brings me" she said.
You giggled and went to sit next to her, gently stroking her head. Louis followed you like a puppy dog and as soon as you sat down he raised his arms towards you, wanting to be picked up. He was a mama's boy, everyone knew that and you didn't mind at all. If Charles could boast that he was Aurora's "favorite parent", then you could proudly say that you were Louis' favorite.
"You don't need to say thank you, darling, because he knows that you and Louis baked cookies especially for him. Santa already knows that all the children in the world are happy with the gifts he brings them"
When she heard about the cookies, Aurora raised her head to narrow her eyes at Charles, standing in front of you.
"Daddy, you didn't eat the biscuits, did you?" she asked him in a suspicious tone, making you smile in amusement.
Charles had been teasing Aurora and Louis all day by telling them that he would have ate all the cookies that she and Louis had baked for Santa Claus to leave in the kitchen.
“No honey, your cookies are all safe and sound… For now…” Charles murmured with a smirk, glancing at you.
"Papa! They're for Santa Claus!" Aurora retorted, clenching her fists.
"But if Santa doesn't eat them all, that means i get to eat them, right?" Charles asked, but the little girl shook her head.
“No, only mommy can eat them” Louis interjected in his little voice, hugging you and Aurora nodded.
Charles widened his eyes, feeling betrayed by his entire family.
"And not me??" he asked aloud, putting a hand to his chest. "You're breaking my heart, children! Oh no! You don't love me anymore, i'm about to die!"
Charles knelt on the ground, acting as if he had been seriously wounded in the heart and both you and your kids laughed.
"Que quelqu'un m'aide! Mes enfants n'aiment que leur mère, ce n'est pas juste! (Someone help me! My children only love their mother, it's not fair!)"
Aurora got out of bed and ran towards Charles, lunging towards him and throwing herself on top of his body. Charles blew with his lips, feeling the weight of his daughter on his belly and a few seconds later Louis joined them too.
"Dad you can't die, you weren't really hurt!" Aurora giggled, looking down at him.
"Yes, you hurt me a lot, right here" replied Charles, putting a hand to his chest. "And you know what i need to feel better? Your amazing cookies"
Both Aurora and Louis looked at him even more suspiciously than before and Charles looked at them with sweet eyes.
"I only need one~ I swear i won't touch the others" he said to convince them.
After a few seconds Aurora nodded slowly.
"Okay, but ONLY one! You have to promise!" she said.
Charles nodded.
"I promise, chérie"
Aurora held out her pinkie so they could make an official promise and Louis did the same.
"Bien. Mais maintenant, il est vraiment temps d'aller au lit, petits monstres. (Good. But now it's really time for bed, you little monsters)" Charles then said.
Aurora snorted, but seeing Charles' look she understood that the fun time was really over, so you saw her get up and get back on her bed, but this time she got under the covers. You helped her tuck her in, while in the meantime Charles took Louis' hand, leading him to his bedroom to put him to bed. Then you would take turns.
"My darling" you said, looking into her eyes. "Santa Claus won't come to our house if he sees that you're awake. So sleep, so time will pass faster and when you wake up it will be Christmas, okay?"
She nodded, slightly sad that she couldn't see Santa, but smiled at you anyway.
"Okay mommy. 'Night"
"Goodnight"
You leaned down to give her a kiss on the forehead and then left her room, heading towards Louis' room, next to hers. Just before you entered, you saw Charles wish Louis goodnight, before giving him a kiss on the forehead and then he left too, flashing you a smile before going to Aurora.
“Maman” Louis murmured when he saw you come in.
You smiled at him, sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Oui, mon petit prince? (Yes, my little prince?)"
Louis looked at you with his big, bright eyes, but tired after the day he had had.
"Can you make sure daddy doesn't eat all the cookies?" he asked and you giggled, stroking his hair.
"Sure Louis. I'll make sure dad only eats one cookie, like he promised."
"But... But you can eat one too, if you want" he continued and you smiled tenderly.
"Thank you love, but you made them for Santa Claus, so i'll leave them to him. The next time you make cookies we'll eat them together, okay?"
Louis nodded happily and turned on his side, ready to go to sleep.
"Bonne nuit maman (Goodnight mommy)"
"Good night sweetheart"
You leaned down to kiss his cheek and then walked out of his room, turning off the light just before closing the door.
You and Charles met in the hallway and as soon as he was in front of you, he placed his hands on your hips, pulling you against his body.
"So..." he whispered with a smirk. "We still have some time before Santa Claus arrives. How about we do something, my love?"
"Mhh i don't know, handsome" you smiled back at him, stroking the hair on his neck. "What were you thinking about?"
"I have a couple of ideas" Charles replied, raising his eyebrows.
“We can't make too much noise Charles, the kids need to sleep” you said and Charles shrugged.
"That's up to you, chérie"
You bit your bottom lip, but then grabbed his hand, walking backwards and dragging him towards your bedroom, then locking the door.
///
"Lou! Lou! Réveilles toi Louis! (Wake up!)"
Louis was forced to open his eyes when he felt his arm being shaken and saw his older sister's face appear before his eyes.
“W-What is it?”
Aurora looked at him with a toothy smile.
"I heard some noises coming from downstairs. I think Santa Claus has arrived!"
Louis' eyes widened.
"R-Really? Is it really him??"
"I don't know, but i want to go and see. Come with me, come on!"
Aurora dragged her brother off the bed, heading towards the stairs.
“R-Ro, wait” Louis stopped in his tracks and she looked at him. "We can't get caught. If Santa sees that we are awake he won't leave us the presents. And-And then mommy and daddy will be angry"
But Aurora shook her head.
"We'll stay on the stairs so he won't see us, okay? And mom and dad won't know. But if you're scared you can go back to sleep, i'm going"
Aurora didn't even give him time to respond before she left her brother's room. Louis thought for a few seconds, but then he gathered courage and followed his sister in a jog. He quickly glanced at their parents' bedroom door, which was closed. He could do it, it was just to have a look. Nothing bad would have happened, right?
So he glued himself to Aurora's back and the two went down a couple of steps, as silently as possible, but stopped in their tracks when they heard voices coming from the floor below.
"These biscuits are really good"
Aurora and Louis looked at each other with wide eyes and smiled. Then she put her index finger to her mouth, signaling her brother to remain silent, and then continued down the stairs, being careful not to make any noise with their feet.
The two children hid behind the wall, then popped out their little heads and saw who was in the kitchen. They wanted to scream with joy, but they managed to contain themselves. It was really him, Santa Claus was in their house and was eating the biscuits they had made for him.
"I helped make them too, you know?" then a familiar voice intervened and the two children were surprised to see their mother join Santa Claus in the kitchen.
Santa Claus turned to look at her and Aurora and Louis could see him better. He was dressed just as their parents described him, but he was just a little thinner. And they didn't see the sack full of presents, but that was probably because he left it on the sleigh.
"Oh yes i know, Santa knows everything" he said, moving closer to her.
When they saw him tighten his arms around their mother's body, Aurora and Louis opened their eyes and mouths again, but this time not with happiness.
“Then you should also know that i am already happily married, Mr. Claus” Y/n retorted, resting her hands on his chest.
"Just a little innocent kiss, my dear. Your husband won't know anything..." Santa murmured, smiling from under his beard. “Unless you want to end up on the naughty kids list”
Aurora covered her mouth with her hand, while Louis clutched his sister's shirt in his hands when they saw Santa Claus kiss their mother on the lips, the same way their father did.
No, that was too much, they thought that Santa Claus was good, not that he forced their mommy to kiss him without their daddy knowing.
Louis backed away and quickly went back up the stairs, going to lock himself in his room, sad. He didn't want their parents to break up because of Santa Claus.
Aurora, on the other hand, was angry with Santa Claus and decided that she would never want to deal with him again! Santa Claus no longer had to interfere in his family.
Meanwhile, back downstairs, you and Charles hadn't even noticed the presence of your children, too busy with your little play.
“Mhh, wait-” you murmured, pulling away for a few seconds after the two of you kissed. "Sorry honey, but first i think it's best to take this off"
With one hand you pulled the fake beard off his face, happy to be able to see him as "young" as before and you smiled.
"That's better"
Charles smirked and brought his face closer so he could give another kiss, a kiss that tasted like freshly baked cookies.
///
The next morning, when you woke up, you were surprised that your children hadn't already run into your room to call you to open the presents.
“Charles…” you murmured, turning to him.
You saw him move his eyelids and then open his eyes, as he pulled you closer to his body with the strength of his arm.
“Good morning, sweetheart” he murmured with a smile which you returned. "Did you sleep well?"
"Mh, 'morning. I slept very well, my love. How about you?"
“I always sleep well when you're in bed with me” he replied, stroking your hair, but then a look of confusion painted his face. "The kids?"
"That's what i was wondering too. Shall we go wake them up?"
"They will probably arrive soon, let's stay here for another five minutes" he mumbled with a smile, closing his eyes and nuzzling his nose against your cheek "I want to cuddle you a bit"
Even though you were slightly worried about your children, you could never refuse a proposal like that from him.
“Just for five minutes,” you replied, leaning over to rest your head on his shoulder and hug him.
"Yes ma'am"
But five full minutes did not pass. After a couple of minutes of cuddling, someone knocked on your bedroom door and Charles invited them in.
Aurora stepped out from behind the door, with Louis behind her, holding her hand.
"Maman, papa, can we ask you something?" She asked, making your eyebrows furrow.
They didn't seem happy at all and hadn't even said good morning.
“Sure, darling” you replied, sitting up and patting the mattress with one hand, inviting them to join you.
The two children walked over to your bed and climbed onto it, sitting down in front of you.
“Mommy…” Louis looked at you, clutching his hands. "Do you love daddy?"
You and Charles exchanged a surprised look, but then you smiled.
"Of course i love daddy. Why do you ask?"
"But do you really love him? I mean, really really?" Louis continued and you giggled, nodding.
"Yes, love. I really really love him"
"And you will never leave each other, right?" Aurora then asked, alternating her gaze from you to Charles. “You wouldn't leave daddy for Santa, would you?”
At those words your heart sank, fearing for the worst.
"My darlings, daddy and i love each other so much. I would never leave him" you said and to demonstrate the truth in your words, you reached out a hand towards Charles', intertwining your fingers. "Not even for Santa Claus or any other person in the world. Why these questions?"
Louis lowered his head, while Aurora crossed her arms.
"Because Santa Claus is in love with you, mommy. And that's not good"
At those words you almost wanted to laugh, but you managed to stop yourself, seeing the seriousness of your children. You turned to look at Charles and saw him smiling in amusement.
"Oh yeah? Is Santa Claus in love with mommy? And how do you know that, sweetheart?" Charles asked.
“Because we saw it!” Aurora exclaimed and you and Charles widened your eyes.
You subconsciously squeezed Charles' hand nervously. Oh shit, had they discovered you?
"Last night Santa Claus came to our house and ate the cookies! But then he wanted to give mommy a kiss and mommy said she was already married to you. But he said if she didn't give him a kiss, he would put her on the naughty list! That's not fair!"
Oh God.
"A-And then he gave her a kiss!" Louis then continued, looking at you with shining eyes. "Santa gave mommy a kiss when daddy wasn't there! He was bad!"
A couple of tears fell from Louis' eyes and you and Charles felt your hearts swell with tenderness.
“Oh Lou…” you murmured, releasing Charles’ hand so you could invite your son to hug you. "Come here sweetie, it's okay. Don't worry"
Louis hugged you tightly and you patted his head, glancing at Charles, and that's when he intervened.
"Ok petits monstres, écoutez-moi attentivement. (Okay little monsters, listen to me carefully)" Charles began softly, looking at the two children. "Santa Claus was wrong to steal a kiss from mommy in secret, we don't do these things. But i can assure you that mommy and i will never leave each other, no matter how many other people want kisses from her. And we will never leave you two. Mh?"
Louis nodded and sniffed and Aurora did the same. Charles gave them a reassuring smile and held out both pinkies, one each.
“I promise” he said.
You copied your husband, holding up both your pinkies.
"I promise you too, my loves"
The two children smiled heartily and intertwined their little fingers with yours and then you and Charles kissed them on their cheeks.
"But... But then what did you and Santa do, maman?" Aurora asked looking at you. "After he gave you a kiss he left, didn't he?"
Looking at her you understood how she was less and less happy with the presence of Santa Claus in her home, she was a completely different little girl compared to the one you had put to sleep the night before.
“Well after Santa stole a kiss from me, papa came to save me and chased him away” you replied with a smile, glancing at Charles, who felt himself blushing slightly under your gaze.
"Really?!" the two children asked and Charles nodded.
"Of course. Nobody kisses mommy but me" he replied in a mock resolute tone.
"And me!" Aurora exclaimed immediately afterwards, raising her arm.
"And me too!" Louis continued, copying his sister.
“My heroes” you giggled tenderly, looking at all three of them. "No one else deserves my kisses besides you, you're all right. Come here"
Aurora crawled towards you, so she could receive a kiss on the forehead and you gave the same to Louis. Then you turned to Charles, who already had his cheek turned to you, with his cute dimple showing. You kissed his cheek, then you placed a hand under his chin and made him turn towards you, so you could give him a small kiss on the lips.
Aurora made a noise of disgust, but in reality both she and her little brother were more than happy to know that Santa Claus had not ruined their family.
"Good. Now who wants to open their presents?" Charles asked, clapping his hands once and the two little ones let out excited squeals.
So you all got out of bed and walked towards the stairs, Louis in your arms and Aurora holding Charles' hand.
“Papa” she said, lifting her head to look at him.
"Oui, chérie? (Yes?)"
"Next Christmas i don't want Santa Claus coming anymore" she muttered with a small pout.
"Are you sure Aurora?" you asked her. "What if he doesn't bring you presents anymore?"
But she shook her head.
"I don't care. I just don't want him to take you away, maman"
"Aww"
“That means i get to eat his cookies” Charles said, turning to look at you with a smirk.
As if he hadn't devoured all of them the night before.
“Yes daddy, you'll must eat them all” Louis interjected nodding frantically, wrapping his arms around your neck protectively. "So he learns not to kiss mommy anymore"
And both you and Charles laughed again, going down with your children to the living room to unwrap the presents that had been left under the tree all night.

i fully believe that James could not tell McGonagalls animagus form from any other cat so he just treated every cat like it was her
