I was your secret santa this year and I chose to do a piece of writing! I wasn't sure if I should make a page or post it here so I'm settling for posting it here for now!

A gloved finger carefully rested on the sparkling wrapping paper, and a soft screeeee sounded as the owner tore off a piece of tape from the edge of the table. It was a little early to be getting prepared for Christmas, but to her, there was no such thing as being too early. She gently pressed down the tape and finished sealing the present. A small smile spread across her lips as she hummed some Christmas songs under her breath.

“One done!” She announced cheerfully to her twin, who seemed to be working on wrapping a present of his own. He couldn’t help but return her cheerful announcement with a smile too.

Snow held his own present up to his sister, Destiny. “Make that two!” The two smiled at each other before giggling a little. They were proud of their work, and the pair set the two presents to the side, before reaching for a new one each.

Destiny reached for a pair of slippers that were far too small for anyone at school, while Snow picked up a children’s book. A new song began to play on the stereo and without missing a beat, the older twin began singing along with all her heart. The younger one couldn’t help but laugh at her extreme enthusiasm and joined in with just as much joy and wonder as Destiny.

“Mary did you know? Mary did you know? Mary did you know?” The pair were singing away gleefully, wiggling their heads along to the beat as they wrapped presents in time to the song. By the time the end had come, the two were singing as loud as they could, and heard a gentle laugh at them from the door.

“Oh, you two.” Their mother spoke with a gentle smooth bell-like tone to her voice. She looked upon her two children with so much pride and joy. She was always proud of them, but when she saw them like this, it somehow brought tears to her eyes. “What are you both up to that has you making so much noise?” She teased a little, before looking over between the wrapped presents in the corner, and the unwrapped ones that seemed out of place on the bench in front of them.

“We’re wrapping presents, of course!” Destiny smiled.

“Those pyjamas look a little small for your friends though.” Her mother mused, walking over to the table.

“For the orphanage, mother.” Snow explained before lifting up a set of dress-up clothes. The twins looked very proud, and their mother couldn’t help but smile at them both. She felt her own pride well up in her chest at their actions. Had they done this before? It seemed so likely when she thought of it, and rested a hand on each of their cheeks, and pressing a soft, loving kiss on their foreheads one at a time.

“You’re both so wonderful. What did I do to deserve you both?” She pulled them both into a hug, interrupting their wrapping and receiving a “Mother!” from them both, before both Destiny and Snow gave her a hug in return. She let them go after giving them a squeeze and putting her hands on her hips. “I guess I better get you some fuel then to keep you going. These presents won’t wrap themselves!”

“Nope!” The twins sang out together, before giggling together. Their mother gave a wide smile, before saying bye to go get them some ‘fuel’. And by fuel, she probably meant cookies and milk. What other fuel would be fitting for the Claus twins after all?

It only took a little while before their mother returned with a plate full of Christmas cookies and three glasses of milk. She placed them down, joining the twins at the table, and both of them went for a cookie each. While Destiny bit into hers, Snow picked up a Santa Claus one and held it up.

“Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas, ladies!” He joked a little, putting on a fake but jolly tone meant to imitate their father. Destiny and their mother couldn’t help but laugh before stopping short, and lowering to giggles. Snow rose an eyebrow and then glanced over his shoulder, coming face-to-face with the grin of his father who he had just been imitating - albeit in a loving way really. “Hi father?” He smiled sheepishly.

“I believe it’s more like HO HO HO!” His father bellowed, and the Claus family couldn’t help but let out a string of laughs at the good nature of their father. He took a place at the table, placing an arm around his wife, before looking at the twins’ work. “And who are these presents for?”

“The orphanage, dear.” The parents held a prideful look with each other before looking to their children, and being glad that their children had been brought up so well. The twins held a look before smiling at their parents too, and nodding.

“We’re hoping to deliver them just before Christmas. We’d like to give them to the kids ourselves, right sis?”

“Right.” Destiny placed a newly wrapped present down beside her, before grinning widely. “What better way to bring joy to the world than giving presents and spending time with those who need it the most?”

The twins held a sack of presents each over their shoulder, and sang a Christmas song as they walked along the streets. It was early on Christmas Day, and the pair could be at home but they had chosen to dedicate today to something they thought was very special. Bundled up in cozy winter coats, scarves, gloves and hats, they had rosy red cheeks and noses from the cold. It bit at their hands, but nothing could put a damper on their cheer.

Pushing open the door to the orphanage, the twins put on their most joyful voices and exclaimed, “HO HO HO! Merry Christmas!”
