Cold day today...i know it's winter hot the past few days have been warmish, but wet. Anyway enjoy

School was over and the group was hanging out in Audrey's room, trying to think of what they could do for the rest of the day.

"Play games?" Jane suggested, earning no's.

"Watch a movie?" Lonnie suggested.

"As much as I love Christmas movie's I'm not in the mood for watching movies.

"Wait I've got an idea be right back," Doug said, leaving the room in a hurry.

"Wonder what idea has got him so excited," Ben said chuckling a little.

Doug returned five minutes later with a hat, pen and paper.

"Secret Santa," Doug said as he began to write everyone's names on paper.

"Secret Santa?" Jay asked confused.

"I love secret Santa," Chad said excitedly.

"Secret Santa is where a group of people pull a name out of a hat and buy or make a present for them in secret, after everyone has opened their presents you can tell them it was you," Audrey said.

"What if you get your own name," Jay asked.

"Then you have to put it back and pick again," Ben said as Doug shuffled the names.

"Okay everyone pull out a name and don't tell anyone," Doug said as he held the hat out.

Everyone pulled out a name luckily no one pulled out their own and soon they were headed to town to get ideas of what to buy.

"You don't have to get a gift now, just I saw Fairy Godmother along the way and asked her if it would be okay to head into town and she said yes," Doug said when they arrived.

"What day shall we give out the gifts?" Jane asked as they walked into a store.

"How about the 18th that gives us plenty of time then," Ben suggested everyone agreed.

"Price limits?" Lonnie asked, as she looked at a few trinkets.

"Shall we say $10?" Audrey suggested.

"Sounds good to me," Mal said as they walked further into the store.

"Okay meet by Tiana's Palace in half an hour," Doug said and the group split up to go look for gifts.

Mal was looking at socks as that seemed to be a safe option, everyone loves socks right and they all had funky designs on one pair had a Santa while another had crowns on. Evie was looking at key rings, while Carlos was looking at Jewlery.

Lonnie left the store they were at and headed into Ariel's reef to look at the shells, while Doug brought his gift from Oaken's Trading Post.

Half an hour later the group started to walk towards Tiana's Palace, Doug, Ben, Jane and Jay had brought their gifts. When everybody had arrived, they went to go find a table.

"That was fun, Secret Santa is hard though you want to get a really good gift, but everything seems so good," Evie said as their drinks arrived.

"I know what you mean," Doug said, picking up his glass.

Soon their food arrived and everybody tucked in, talking amongst themselves about school and what they were doing on the weekend. When they returned, they parted ways some to go wrap their presents, some to think of what to get and others to finish of homework.

"Why do we get homework," Jay said.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter...I did secret Santa once in college and it kinda failed cos half of us forgot, I didn't I had to ask someone what to get them as I had not really spoke to them much.
