The team eagerly assembled for the Secret Santa game, creating a festive atmosphere in the room. Walden, included in the merriment after the mistletoe tradition incident, joined the circle.
They settled on the floor and couch, anticipation building as the exchange of gifts was about to begin.
  
  
The first participant, a random team member, drew laughter with a rather compromising codename. The room erupted with cackles and chuckles as the team enjoyed the humorous twist to the game.
  
  
  
"What's with this codename? 'Salmon Seducer'?"

"Who even came up with that? Own up!"
Laughter echoed through the room as the team bantered about the humorous and unexpected choice of nicknames.
  
  
  
  
As the Secret Santa game progressed, it was a soldier's turn to announce the codename.
The room was filled with excitement and curiosity as they uttered aloud a gift codenamed "Zesty n' Clowning".
  
  
  
"'Zesty n' clowning'? Alright, who's behind this dumb codename?"
The team erupted into laughter, and Slick Nick, always ready with a flair for humor, raised his hand with a mischievous grin.
  
  
  
"Guilty as charged! Gotta keep the holiday spirit alive with a dash of zest and a sprinkle of clowning around! Hope you enjoy your declining wallet."
  
  
  
  
Slick Nick, with a mischievous glint in his eyes, placed the gift he had received by the couch, then raised the neatly wrapped present he was about to give.
The codename on it was unmistakable: "Wifey Material Dilf."
  
  
  
"Alright, folks, it's time for the big reveal! 'Wifey Material Dilf,' your gift awaits!"
All eyes turned to the Commander and Walden, who were acutely aware of the attention.
  
  
"Who would've thought they would get caught up in such a playful game?"
  
  
"For real, cuh. And here I thought older men were as grumpy as Wal— ... Eh, nevermind."
  
  
  
  
Amidst the banter, the Commander felt beads of sweat forming, his attempt at blending into the festive atmosphere seemingly comical.
He decided to inquire about the wishlist, hoping to clarify whether the gift truly belonged to him.
  
  
  
"So, Nick, any hints on the wishlist for 'Wifey Material Dilf'?"
  
  
  
Slick Nick, grinning, leaned in to share the details.
"Two black polo, a trench coat and some leather harness. Classic choices for the stylish commander, don't you think?"
  
  
  
The Commander sighed in relief, having confirmed the identity of the gift.
However, his relief was short-lived as he realized the humor embedded in the codename.
"Well, I guess I did ask for this. Let's get it over with."
  
  
  
Following that, the Commander playfully announced the codename associated with the gift he held in his hands – a mysterious and whimsical 'Purple Grinch'.

The room filled with laughter, and eyes turned to Akira, who couldn't hide her displeasure at the codename. She groaned, making it clear that she had no hand in selecting that particular moniker.
  
  
  
"Seriously, who came up with this? I'll have a word with you later, Nick."
  
  
  
The team exchanged amused glances, knowing that the playful banter was all in good fun. Despite Akira's initial protest, she stood up, approached the Commander, and gave him a warm embrace, reminiscent of a daughter expressing gratitude to her father.
  
  
  
"Thanks, Commander. I appreciate the thoughtful gift, even if the codename is a bit... unconventional."
  
  
  
Another member stepped into the center, holding a wrapped gift adorned with a comical codename, 'Rainbow Meth.'
Walden couldn't help but cough, fully aware that this quirky designation was attributed to him.
The room held a momentary hush, followed by a burst of laughter as the Secret Santa game continued.
  
  
  
"Rainbow Meth? That's a new one, Walden. Did you ask for a psychedelic holiday, or did you just get a little too creative?"
  
  
  
Walden, still recovering from the initial shock, responded with an awkward cough.
"I guess I have a reputation for bringing unconventional ideas to the table."
  
  
  
The banter continued as the next member approached the center with their gift, complete with yet another amusing codename.
The room buzzed with excitement as the exchanges unfolded, each one adding a layer of laughter and camaraderie to the festive atmosphere.
