AN: I should probably be working on my other stories right now, but I'm too much in the holiday spirit. So alas, I am opening a Christmas story, which I hope to have finished before the 25th (or else I'll just post the last chapter on that day). There will be romance and family and friends and really just the spreading of cheer. So I hope you guys enjoy. Now I shall let the story begin with song that inspired this whole thing.
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas
Is you
-Mariah Carey: All I Want for Christmas is You
Christmas, one of the happiest times around the world
Loved and cherished by man, woman, boy, and girl.
There are presents and Santa, family and cheer
It's truly the most wonderful time of the year.
People spreading good will to everyone,
Wishing for all to feel the shining Christmas fun.
The rhythm and rhyming and movies are all good
But what it all comes down to, is what you'd ask for if you could.
So I bring you these stories of Christmas all round
I show how lives intertwine with great sound.
Different wishes, different gifts, with one thing they all share:
People wanting to use this Christmas to show that they care.
It was truly a bustling day at the mall. Or really, just a bustling and up moving season. December 20th, quite close to the 25th and all the late shoppers were out looking for gifts. There were crying children, rushing mothers, and of course their poor lovers who were stuck carrying the bags. Santa and his elves were all set up, a couple of different hot cocoa stands were booming with business and it seemed as if the madness failed to cease.
Yet, alone in the corner of a quaint little bookshop, the hoopla came to a freeze. And in that corner was something quite mysterious, a calling of sorts. Christmas Wishes the giant notepad read, beckoning for all to share what lay on their hearts. There was the obvious, the material things, but when it all came down to it, the most important ones were those that no one dared to speak out loud. Those were the most special wishes contained.
All of the postings were anonymous, save for the fact that there was a man silently watching the whole time from behind a bookshelf. He staked out the little set up every day of December watching each nervous shopper creep up to the list, not wanting anyone they knew to see what their hearts truly held. But with a little push, this hidden mastermind was sure he could catch a little of that Santa Clause-esque magic.
At the end of this 20th day of December, the list came down, taken to the back of his office to be reviewed by his genius eyes. He wrote the owner's name by each wish he planned to grant, settling his numbers to a simple few. He then remade his list, checked it twice, and with sureness in his mind, the deal was set. He would redeem his year of wrongdoings with these kind acts and finally remove his permanent stance on Santa's bad side.
