In the subsequent folder, a treasure trove of Christmas memories awaited: Jack playfully offering Sarah a Christmas cookie, Sun and Anja donning Santa hats, and a festive mulled wine gathering at the dorm. Following these cheerful moments were snapshots of her family celebrating around the Christmas tree, with Mom modeling a gifted coat, Dad proudly presenting a new tool, and Robert warmly embracing a hefty cookbook.

And still, Sparkle couldn’t resist trying to reach him. “When we’re at home,” she added, “Hayzel and I put up the Christmas decorations the day after Thanksgiving... You have to have a little restraint, don’t you think? I mean this year, I actually saw Christmas wreaths for sale in September. That’s going a little far for me and I absolutely loooove Christmas.”

I still wasn't sure if the tippage I got while working should've been disgusting or flattering. I brought one half of the paper over the backside of the box and taped the center, then taped the left and right sides. Once the first half was taped, I brought the other half over and taped that one. After taping the width sides, I slapped a tag on the front side and wrote Timmy's name in sharpie. Just to bring some Christmas spirit, I wrote "from Santa" instead of my own name. I capped the sharpie and took a look at my handiwork, before placing the gift in the pile with the rest of my family's presents. I let out a long exhale and stretched. I'd been working almost two hours now wrapping gifts f

Felix, wearing a Santa hat, served as the family's own Santa Claus, handing out gifts with a sparkle in his eye. As the unwrapping commenced, laughter filled the room. Zoey's eyes sparkled with excitement as she opened her presents, and Liam, too young to understand the concept of gifts, clapped his tiny hands at the crinkling sound of wrapping paper. "How adorable," they uttered as they both smiled while watching Liam altogether. Felix had a peaceful moment with Marianne despite the celebratory bustle. He handed her a nicely wrapped present, his eyes wide with eagerness. "Merry Christmas, my love."

Arthur tells me. “What are your Christmas traditions?” Max asks; he’s finally back with us. “Ah, the Christmas spirit is designed for children. The joy of Christmas for adults is seeing the joy on the faces of the pack's pups. Every November, the adults come together to make an activity advent calendar for the pups. An example of this would be; on the 1st of the month, we decorate the pack land. On the 2nd, we hold our official secret Santa draw. On the 3rd, we write out our Christmas cards. On the 4th, we hold our Christmas fancy dress party, and we always put our Christmas trees up on the 13th. We include activities such as watching Christmas movies, Christmas cookie and cake baking, and a

“This is the message." I glared at the screen, the words registering before I could even finish reading. “Shipment NX043- delivery time 12:15- date 12/03/25. Everything was the opposite of how it was supposed to be. Above, was my number boldly written as the sender. “There has to be a mistake," I said, reaching out for my own phone.

I asked Ace when we were out of the family sight. “You know how you missed Christmas Eve and how you miss Christmas too?” Ace opened the door to my room, “I wanted to give it to you.” My jaw dropped as I saw how beautifully decorated my room was. He had decorated the rooms with light, there was a Christmas tree and gifts under the tree. There were snacks and a projector. “It's beautiful,” I smiled as I entered the room, “Why did you do all this?” “I know I can't bring the 24th and 25th but I hope this will be okay? I also wanted to thank you for saving me,” Ace shut the door behind him.

Not that the words are hitting home for me this Christmas, the song has lost a bit of it's appeal. Santa Clause is Coming to Town and I saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause later and I have my gifts wrapped and near the tree, since there are way too many to fit under there, I stand up and stretch. Wyatt has two more gifts to wrap, so I ask, “Want me to finish those and you can bring in your gifts?”
