Reasons for recommending: With Thanksgiving over here in the states, I'm starting to think about Christmas. With Christmas, toys are always a big part. From the plastic toys we give to kids, to the nice toys made in "Santa's Workshop", they all invoke the feeling of Christmas. This story was posted when I was still an active member of the M-A and I never forgot it. It is a heartwarming and indearing story about a 12-inch Qui on a lifelong search for his other half in a 12-inch Obi. I felt this would be a perfect story for people to read to help us get into the Christmas spirit.

Quote from the story:
Little 12-inch Qui-Gon Jinn never asked questions like "where do I come from?" or "what is my purpose in life?". He knew where he came from. The toy maker had crafted him. And as far as he was concerned, his purpose in life was clear. Watching his little 12-inch Obi-Wan.

The toy maker had crafted both of them as a set. He'd made them from the same material, at the same time, for the same purpose. When Qui-Gon looked at his foot, he saw the number he'd been given by the toy maker. He was number 125a. Obi-Wan, he knew that without ever having seen the other toy's foot, was 125b. Only together they would ever be 125 whole.
