"Minari, wake up!!"

"You're missing out on Christmas day!" As the loud voice of my girlfriend woke me up, I groaned and rose up from my bed, my hair messed up while the girl clings to me

"Minari, Santa came again! I'm not in the naughty list this time." She started jumping on my bed like a kid, celebrating, I could not help but to let out a chuckle

Up to this day, she still has faith for Christmas, call her childish but she never really experience Christmas when growing up with her blood line

She never really believed in Christmas, Santa, Gifts, and Joy itself

It was just a miracle to have her believe in this once a year life event, and a miracle to have her in my life

"Yah, get up and stop dozing off!" She began pulling me up, whining like a child

I just shook my head, and followed her in our living room, there welcomes the glowing Christmas three, shiny ornaments hanging around it, Gifts placed perfectly underneath the tree, what she didn't know that I was the one who placed, and bought all of these, I will do anything just to make her happy in a Joyous day

"Minari, Santa bought us many gifts! come on hurry up!" She excitingly said, dragging me towards the living room, I sigh and just followed her around

I sat down on the couch, watching her as she opened the gift, I look like a mother at this point

"Easy there, you might break the gifts." I helped her with the gifts, she started opening all of them one by one

"Ahh this one looks like me!" She brought the huge tiger plushie up to her face to which I laughed at

Indeed it looked like her, that is why I bought it

"Ohh shiny~~" She awed at the necklace, which had costed me five thousand dollars

After a long moment of opening gifts, she is finally finished "Minari, Santa ate the cookies I prepared!"

"Oh, What are you holding there?" She came closer to me, I was hiding a 'secret gift' that I made

I smiled and pulled her close, she seemed confused on what was happening

"This is my gift for you, since you have been a good girl." Her eyes sparkled, and she hugged me

"A gift for me??"

I nodded in response "Close your eyes~" She then obliged, slowly I brought the handmade crochet sling bag, with cute strawberries on it

Slowly she fluttered her eyes opened, gasped in surprise she examined the bag while I stood there, nervous for her comment on the gift, but she just kept quiet

"I know this isn't the best gift ever... But I hope you at least like it." I look down, thinking about the possibilities of her disliking the gift increasing 

"You made this?"

"Yes..."

"Why? you didn't have to... Really." She commented, making me confused, walking close to her and gasp when I found her weeping tears all of a sudden

"B-But since you made this and worked hard for it, I will forever treasure the smallest thing you have given me even if it is a tiny penny, or quarter I love it, and I love you..." I was taken a back from what she had just said, but then I could not help but to shed a tear as well, and embrace her

"I-I'm sad..." She uttered, while I rub her back

"Because I don't have any gifts prepared for you, and I made you cry..." I chuckled while wiping my tears off, she sniffled as she bury her face on my shoulder

"No no~ It's alright, I don't need any precious, luxurious gifts, you're all I want for Christmas.. And I love you too, you are enough already.. I don't care about the gifts Santa had brought us, all I care about is your happiness as well." I beam a big smile, while she stare at me with her round teary eyes

"Merry Christmas, Chaengie." I hugged her, not wanting to let go of her

"Merry Christmas, Minari."  

Short story, that is supposedly made for Christmas but I am quite late so *sob😞
