A/N: Since it is so close to X-mas I have decided to wrap up this story. Maybe in summer I may add another chapter in between, but for right now, this is how it will go.

Teresa paced nervously, a big box behind her back. What if Gordo hated her present?! What would she do then? She looked at the box again and sighed. She could always keep it if he abhorred it. Around the corner, the same thoughts were running through Gordo's mind. He hoped he had gotten Teresa the right thing. He slowly came from his hiding place.

"Uh," he stammered nervously. "I'm your, uh… Secret Santa," he stuffed the gift into her hands. "I hope you like it."

"Wow," she breathed. "Oh, I'm your Secret Santa too," she chuckled under her breath as she handed him his gift, trying to balance everything. "Go on," she pestered. "Open it up."

Gordo shrugged and started undoing the paper. He noticed that Teresa was like him, she just couldn't stand to see the beautiful wrapping paper ripped to shreds. When Gordo finally got the gift open a tear came to his eye.

"This… is wonderful," he tried to keep his composure. " 'Sunrise: 1872' by Claude Monet always reminds me of a fishing trip I took with my dad when I was little. Thank you."

He looked up and saw that Teresa was on the verge of crying too. "This is the sweatshirt I've been looking at for months," she held it up to her, it was a perfect match, not too small, yet big enough to be comfortable. "I love the University of Virginia. My brother went there too. Thank you so much Gordo."

She leaned over and hugged him, then gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before she ran to the bathroom, in tears of joy.

Lizzie ran over to Ethan as he passed her locker.

"Ethan, I'm your Secret Santa! Check out your gift!" Lizzie stuffed the gift in his hands, waiting for one in return.

"Um, thanks Lizzie. Here's yours Miranda." Ethan handed the box over.

"And here's yours Lizzie! Merry Christmas."

They all opened their gifts to quite a delightful sight.

"I've needed a new make-up kit forever! Thank you so much Miranda." Lizzie gave her friend a squeeze.

"Ethan, I've been admiring this shirt at American Eagle! How'd you know!" Miranda smiled and held the shirt up.

"And Lizzie, this sweater is going to look great with my khakis. Thank you so much" He gave Lizzie a peck on the forehead and headed off to class. Lizzie and Miranda celebrated at the wonderful presents they had received.
