Aziel was anxious today. His nervousness knew no bounds, and his mind was crazy. He knew that there were still a few days left before Christmas but with December 23rd here, it was the last working day before the winter break. Which meant the last day of school before Christmas.

He hadn't given it a thought before but he didn't usually receive any presents on non-school days. Maybe today is the last day of Secret Santa. Will I meet her today? Will it be my last gift today?

Thoughts plagued Aziel's mind. Trying to calm himself down, he settled on his bed and took a deep breath. Preparing himself what this day had to offer.

The sun was sinking down the horizon when his mom barged through his door. Her steps were quick and her eyes were frantic in a good way.

"Aziel, are you ready? We need to buy you a new Christmas sweater. You ripped the last one, remember?"

In response, Aziel leaned back in his chair. He was busy observing the surroundings and the snowglobe sitting on his windowsill to notice the time.

He shook his head and straightened up. He towered in front of his mother with his 6′1" frame.

"I already got one," he said. His voice was gravelly with lack of use in previous hours.

Phoebe narrowed her eyes towards her son. "Is it an ugly sweater because if it isn't it isn't approved."

All Aziel did was shake his head amused towards his mother. He quickly made his way towards his wardrobe.

Unlike many boys of his age, his wardrobe was neat and clean curtesy his strict mother. Pulling out hanger from the showed his mother the latest monstrosity he was gifted.

The red and green and sweater had a reindeer knitted on its front with nerdy glasses and wiggly eyes. The reindeer had a scarf around its neck with hung on the end with a red button nose that glowed on touching. The slogan on top read 'Jolly AF'. The worst part, the wiggly eyes were exactly on top of his flat nipples.

A laughter slipped past her lips as she gazed at the sweater. She could feel her stomach aching but she cared not. "Who gave this to you?" he huffed out in her laughter.

"Someone," Aziel replied, averting his eyes. His eyes were fixed on his mother's face and thoughts on the note he received with this.

'Ugly Christmas sweaters are amazing! Hope you like yours.

When we meet, I want to see you in this. :)′

"Your secret Santa girl?" his mother asked pulling him out of his thoughts. She had an impish smile on her face.

Aziel ignored her and returned to keep the sweater back.
