A week and a half before Christmas, Carlisle called everyone into the living room. Alice was grinning as she skipped in. Edward was trying to hold back a smile. Esme was practically beaming; clearly she was in on Carlisle's plan. He cleared his throat.

"Kids, we've decided to try something new this year. We're going to do Secret Santa!" He looked around. Alice was jumping up and down clapping. Emmett was grinning and Jasper looked... well... slightly amused. Rosalie looked exasperated, but that was nothing new. I peeked at Edward's face. He was smiling, looking down at me. I smiled back apprehensively.

When I looked back at Carlisle, he was writing everyone's names, I guess, on scraps of paper, folding them in half, and putting them in an expensive-looking, brand new hat.

"Edward," he said sternly, "this will be more fun if you could try to block everyone's thoughts." Edward nodded. "All right everybody, we're going to pick names." He went around and everyone picked a name. "Esme", mine said. I folded the paper and stuck it in my pocket.

"Okay. So, starting Sunday and all the way through Christmas Eve, you will do something nice for your person. Just do something small, nothing over, say, $40. Now-" Alice screeched.

"What?!?!?!? You can't expect me to do something good for E- my person for $40!!!!!" She flew up to her room and we all flinched at the sound of her door slamming and then an odd crunch. Jasper sighed and followed her slowly.

"Now, I'll finish," Carlisle said tentatively. "On Christmas Day, you will have a big gift for your person. Of course, you may buy gifts for any or everyone else, but your main gift is to your person." I was only half listening at this point. When Alice went on her rant, she'd almost said a name. A name that started with an "E". Since I had Esme, I realized that she either had Emmett or Edward. Thinking of gift ideas for Esme, I walked up to Edward's room. I sat on his bed, deep in thought. I felt him sit down beside me and gently put his arm around my shoulder.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked. I looked up at him and smiled.

"Gift ideas for... my person," I answered. I'd only thought of a few possible things, but not enough to get me through 8 days. I idly wondered who had me.

Watching the sun set and sitting in Edward's lap, I fell asleep. When I woke up, I was lying in my bed next to Edward. It was still dark out and I was still dressed. I lazily pulled on pajamas while Edward brushed my hair. Slumping back into bed, I felt Edward's arms around me. Smiling, I fell back to sleep.
