Every Christmas America would throw a Christmas party. This had been a long held tradition for almost 100 years. (With the exception of a few years due to war.) Usually, America would make his party's big and loud, with his house decked out in Christmas lights and the inside of his house look like someone vomited all over it. However, this year America decided to do something a little different. A few weeks before the party, he had announced that this year they would all be doing a secret Santa. Of course, the other countries were happy to go along with this because it was a lot cheaper than buying a gift for everyone at the party. So, after the hat was passed around with all of the names, they all agreed to meet at America's house on Christmas Eve. After they had all gathered in the living room, America stood up.
"Hello everyone, and welcome to our Secret Santa! Did you all get a gift for each other?" America asked cheerfully.
"Yup." Prussia said as Gilbird sat on his head. (Gilbird was wearing the Santa had gotten from last year on his head.) The others all muttered in agreement as they held up their presents.
"Great, so who wants to go first?" America asked eagerly as he scanned the room for volunteers.
"I'll go, as I am the oldest." China said as he raised his hand. Standing up, he walked over to Prussia and handed over his gift, which was neatly wrapped in a red and gold stripped box.
"Oh, so you're my secret Santa?" Prussia asked in surprise as he took the gift. "I would never have guessed that."
"That's the point." China said as he sat back down.
Laughing, Prussia opened the box and looked inside. Pulling out a smaller box, Prussia's mouth fell open as he pulled out Da Hong Pao tea.
"China, how did you know I liked this stuff?" Prussia asked.
"I just know these things." China said with a smirk.
"Cool, thanks a bunch. It will not go to waste." Prussia said happily as he put the gift back into the box.
"Okay, who's next?" America asked as he checked China off of his list.
"I think I'll go next." Japan said as he pulled out his gift, which was a gold bag. "It's for Spain."
"Thank you, Spain said as he took the gift from Japan. Opening the gift, Spain grinned as he pulled out a Nintendo Switch.
"Aw yes, I was looking forwards to getting one of these!" Spain said as he gave Japan a thumbs up. "Thank you!"
"It was no trouble." Japan said with a small smile.
"I would like to go next." Russia said happily. As he said this, he passed his present to England, who was sitting next to him.
"Ah, so you're my secret Santa?" England asked as he took the present from Russia.
"Da, that is right." Russia said.
Opening the present, which was wrapped in a pretty silver box with a white bow, England pulled out an Arktika Russian Vostok Europe Watch.
"Oh, how wonderful!" England said happily as he took the watch out to look at it. "I've needed a new watch for some time now. How did you know?"
"I overheard someone talking about how your other watch was broken." Russia said with a shrug.
"Thank you." England said as he put the box next to him.
"Ok, I would like to go next." America said happily as he held out his gift, which was a small cylinder shaped present wrapped in white paper with blue snowflakes on it.
"Oh, what pretty wrapping paper." France said as he took the present from America. Carefully unwrapping the present, (as not to tear up the pretty paper,) France opened up to find an Amazon Echo.
"Oh my, what is this?" France asked as he examined his present.
"That, my friend, is Amazon Echo. A device that is controlled by voice command." America said happily. "It's voice activated, and can play music, audio books, give you the news, and so much more with just by asking it!"
"Ah, what a great gift! I no longer have to be parted from my work just to play a different song, or just when I am too lazy to get off the couth!" France said happily as he winked playfully at America. "Thank you, this will most certainly be of use.
"I'm up next." England said. Pulling out a box, which was wrapped in red and greed polka dots, and handed it to Italy.
"Oh, thank you!" Italy cheerfully said as he accepted the gift from England. Pulling off the paper, Italy let out a cry of delight as he saw that England had gotten him wine.
"Yay, you got me Black Dog Hill. I've been meaning to try this for a while. Thanks a lot England!" Italy said as he placed it on the table in front of him.
"Um, no problem." England said.
"I'll go next." Canada said. Pulling out his gift, which was a red and gold bag, he walked over to China and handed the present to him with a soft smile.
"Thank you." China said with a small bow of thanks as he took the present. As they both sat back down, China opened up his present. Opening the bag, China found a large gift basket filled with all kinds of different maple syrups, pancake mixes, coffee's, chocolates, cookies, and a wine bottle all wrapped together in a large elegant bow.
"This is amazing." China said as he looked over the basket.
"Aw man, those are some of the best pancake mixes ever." America said as he looked at China's gift.
"Yes, they are some of the best." Canada said with a smile. "I hope you enjoy them.
"I will, thank you." China said as he placed the basket back in the bag.
"I think that I will go next." France said as he pulled out his gift, which was a small box with red and silver strips. "Be careful, your gift is rather delicate."
"Спасибо." Russia said with a smile as he took the gift from France. Opening the box carefully, Russia was amazed when he pulled out a small glass bear, so finally detailed it looked like the fur was almost real.
"It is pretty, no?" France asked happily as he watched Russia admire it. "I thought you would like something pretty in your home, but at the same time not an ornament where you would only see it once a year."
"Thank you, it is very pretty." Russia said as he carefully put the bear back into the box.
"I think that I would like to give my gift now." Germany said as he pulled out a white bag with red polka dots on it. Leaning over the table, he handed the gift to Japan.
"Thank you Germany." Japan said as he took the gift with a nod. Opening the bag, Japans eyes grew as he pulled out the latest Pokémon game, Sun and Moon.
"I heard you talking to America about it." Germany said with an amused look as Japan tried not to burst into tears of joy.
"Thank you so much Germany, I can't wait to play this." Japan said.
"It's my turn to give an awesome gift!" Prussia said happily as he held up a box that had red and white zig-zags on them. "And my awesome gift is for Canada!" Prussia said as he gave Canada his present.
"Thank you!" Canada said as he opened the gift. After tearing off the wrapping paper, Canada pulled out a hand made Nut cracker. The Nut cracker had a red uniform on, with a small black cap and was carrying a drum.
"Did you make this yourself?" Canada asked as he looked over the Nut Cracker.
"Yep, I'm pretty good at wood carving." Prussia said with pride.
"It's great, thank you." Canada said happily.
"Oh, me next!" Italy cried happily as he pulled his gift out! "America, this is for you!" As Italy said this, he handed America a white box decorated by reindeer.
"Aw, thanks Italy!" America said happily as he opened the box. Pulling out his gift, America gave a cry of delight as he saw it was a box of chocolates. And not just any chocolates, but Cioccolato di Modica chocolates.
"Dude, you have like, the best taste in Chocolates ever!" America said happily. "You are so awesome!"
"I thought you'd like them!" Italy said.
"Alright, I guess I'll go next." Romano said as he pulled out his gift, which was a large bag that was all red. "Mine is for Germany."
"What, no Potato bastard?" Germany asked in amused as he took the gift with a nod.
"Don't push your luck. I'm only being nice because I want to." Romano said with a smirk.
With a slight smile, Germany pulled out his gift. Inside he found a large tin, filled with Baci di Dama Hazelnut Cookies.
"Did you make these yourself?" Germany asked as he tasted one of the cookies. "They are delicious."
"Of course I made them, I always make my sweets hand made." Romano said with pride.
"Thank you." Germany said as he put down the tin.
"I guess I'm last to hand out my gift." Spain said with a smile as he pulled out his gift, which was all green. Getting up, he walked over and handed it to Romano.
"Thank you." Romano said as he took the present. Opening it, Romano pulled out a large box of Saffron, a very tasty spice.
"Ah, it's been a while sense I used this in any of my dishes." Romano said. "Thank you."
"I thought you would like it." Spain said with a grin.
"Alright, I guess that wraps up our secret Santa." America said. "Thank you all for coming over and taking part in this."
"It was fun." Italy said with a smile. "And after all, it was the least we could do after you us all those anonymous gifts last year."
"Cool, so I gues-wait a second, YOU KNEW I gave you those presents last year?" America asked in surprise as he stared at Italy in surprise.
"Oops, I spoiled the surprise." Italy said looking angry at himself. "We were going to thank you as a group."
"Oh well, Italy." Japan said with a sigh. "We were going to bring it up in a minute anyway."
"You guys don't need to thank me." America said in a flustered voice.
"Like hell we don't." England huffed. "After all that time and effort for getting us presents and hosting the party last year, we all decided to get you a gift together. "As a thank you for the book you got me last year."
"And the Knife set you got me." France said with a grin.
"And my maple book." Canada said hugging his brother."
"I'm doing this to thank you for the Maneki-neko." China said.
"I was very happy to get the Matryoshka Doll." Russia said warmly. "Did you make it yourself?"
"Uh, yeah." America said with a slight shrug. "Wasn't that big of a deal, really. There's no need to thank me guys, honestly."
"After you got me, West, and Gilbird presents?" Of course we're going to thank you. Prussia said with a smirk. "I don't care if you like it or not."
"I agree." Germany said. "It was a very kind thing you did last year and we didn't even thank you."
"Yeah Hamburger Bastard." Romano said. "You finally got my brother the book about reading the atmosphere. And you didn't pick out a bad recipe book."
"The ink wash painting kit was a great gift." Japan said with a smile.
"Not to mention all of the rest of the countries you gave gifts to, including myself." Spain said as he patted America on the back.
"But-" America protested.
"No buts." Said Spain.
"How did you guys know?" America asked.
"You were the only one who didn't get an anonymous gift." Canada said.
"Oh, I see." America said rolling his eyes. "Of course I would make such a simple mistake."
"So, as a thank you, we all got you a very special gift." England said. "Wait just a moment." And with that, England stepped out of the room for a minute. Then, there was a tapping of paws and a puppy came bounding into the room. It was a golden retriever, and it had a red ribbon around its neck. America's eye widened as the puppy ran into his legs, and fell backwards, only to bounce back up and bark at him. Before anyone else could react, America scooped up the puppy and started to cuddle it.
"Aw, who's a little baby? You are!" America cooed as he pet the puppy in his arms.
"See, told you he would go all motherly on it." England sniggered as he watched America coo the puppy, who was now licking his face.
"Thank you guys, I love her." America said as the puppy settled into his arms and happily looks around. "I'm going to name her Libby, like that other puppy I found about a year ago.
"Oh, you mean Bella? The one I adopted?" Germany asked with a grin.
"Oh yeah, I forgot you renamed her." America said with a chuckle.
"I should bring her over one day to meet your new friend." Germany said.
"That's a great idea!" America said.
"Look at those two, acting like mothers." Prussia snickered.
"Well, I dare say we had fun." England said.
"Indeed, but I think that if we want Christmas to come, we'd better leave and get to our hotels for the night." China said with a knowing look. "After all, the sooner we get to bed, the sooner Christmas will come."
A/N: And with that, MERRY CHRISTMAS! Or to those who don't celebrate Christmas Happy Holidays to you all. As I did last year, I wrote a Christmas Chapter. I don't know if it is as good as last years, but that's for all of you to decide. I had a lot of fun making this, and I hope you enjoy your Christmas gift. So, to all and one, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!
