Author's Note: This is something I wrote five years ago, and a follow up a year later. I figured since it's now 24 days till Christmas, I might as well re-release it here. I'll be posting new the chapters every day, with the 13th and 17th getting two, you'll see why later. Thanks to my old friends Val for the idea and Rylana for helping me brainstorm gift ideas. And to Smeg, who will also be sharing something soon, for agreeing it's ok to let this see the light of day again.
Disclaimer: I own none of the characters from the Show, they belong to Joss Whedon/Mutant Enemy
"I swear, if I ever meet the person that wrote 'It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year' I'm gonna kick them in the crotch." Faith said as she returned to her apartment after Christmas shopping. "I don't even know why Red does the Secret Santa thing, isn't she Jewish?" She asked the empty room as a green card sized envelope on the table caught her attention. She saw it had her name on it, which wasn't surprising seeing as how it was her apartment, so she picked it up and opened it. It was obviously home made, on the front was a picture of a pear tear with Laurie Partridge in it. She opened it to find a brief letter.
Faith
You have no idea how excited I was to draw your name for Secret Santa. I've been trying to find the perfect way to win you over for some time now, and here this presents itself. So, I'm taking inspiration from the song, and will be sending you eleven more gifts from now through Christmas day. I love you Faith.

"What the fuck? Buffy?" Faith asked "I always thought she was more into Willow than me, and vice versa" the brunette stated. "But then again, if they were, they'd together by now" she rationalized, "Maybe I'll find something more tomorrow." She continued as she made her way to the refrigerator to grab a beer.
