At exactly 3:14 PM, the doorbell rang, startling Holly so much
that she knocked over her coffee, spilling it everywhere. She dashed to the
kitchen, swiped the paper towels, and threw them one after another onto the
coffee that was slowly sinking into the white rug. With a sigh of acceptance, Holly
walked over to the front door and peered through the peephole, but there was no
one there. She unlocked the door and slowly creaked it open. Sitting on the
orange welcome mat that read: “Boo!” was a beautifully wrapped gift with a
green bow. Holly reached down to pick up the present and checked for a label,
but there was none. She brought it inside her apartment and set it on the
table. It wasn’t Christmas for 3 weeks, but she was too curious to wait that
long, so she untied the ribbon and viciously ripped the paper off. Inside was a
snow globe with a Santa figurine adorning the center. Holly smiled at the
cuteness of the gift but wondered where it came from. She gripped the base of
the snow globe and shook it lightly. About to set it down, Holly saw a note
written on the bottom and began to read it. The note read:
Dearest Holly,
I hope you enjoy this
little gift. It was my fathers before he gave it to me, and I thought I would
pass it along to you. It is named “Christmas Cheer.”
Sincerely, Your Secret
Santa
