     You woke up in your room to the fogged dimly lit windows. You saw the snow on the other side of the frost covering the tall buildings. You yawned sitting up. You knew it was a cliché action, but you tended to do it every now and then anyways. You turned your head noticing the small change in color under your door, the light turned on in the hall. You also tended to notice small things as well. You could be able to see a slight change in color in someone's eyes. Everybody thought it was a gift, but you just payed close attention to things. To everything at that.

"Aopaote wake up, were nearly ready to open the presents," your mom called to you from the living room. Your eyes widened and a cheerful smile painted your face. You almost forgot, it was Christmas. Your favorite holiday.

You jumped out of bed not paying any mind to your appearance. Your feet patted against the cold wood floor as you made your way to the door.

Christmas always made you so excited you could barely sleep Christmas Eve. Though you lived in Tokyo Japan, your family still managed to get Christmas to your younger sister Aimi and you.

"Coming mom," you swung your door open and stepped out of your room. You looked in the direction of a sweet smell. It was in the dining room and you spotted your dad and Aimi behind a gingerbread house. It was sort of a family tradition to make the houses the night before, then bake it Christmas morning. It was also something you looked forward to, not just the presents.

You walked over to the table and sat yourself down at a tall stool. This year you had your eye on something called an Amusphere, and a game that came with it for the season. A game called Divine Warriors Online, but everybody calls it DWO. It came with a 75% discount in all the nearby stores and you knew you just had to have it.

"Hey Ap, good morning," your dad greeted you. Ap is a nickname people called you, but you gave it to yourself when you were little. Not being able to say your real name, you could only say 'Aop', and so the nickname 'Ap' was born.

"Morning, dad," you smiled happily and looked in the direction of the room where your mom called you from, "what's mom doing?"

     "She's seperating all the presents so it's easier to open the gifts faster, also so they are grouped to who they're assigned to," You nodded excitedly and tuned back to the table in front of you.

     "Morning Ap," Aimi, your sister, told you through a mouthful of gingerbread. You giggled and greeted her too.

"Morning, you look excited already," You put your hands under your chin and leaned your elbows on the table.

"Yup! Because it's Christmas! Hehe... sissy..." You suddenly let out a confused sound, a breathless gasp.

"What is it?" She covered her mouth and pointed to your hair.

"Your hair looks like the Christmas tree," she giggled profusely. You suddenly became angry. You didn't know wether to call that a compliment or an insult.

You quickly hopped off the chair and ran into the bathroom. You froze staring at the bush of light green hair on your head. It did kinda look like a Christmas tree, even with a point on it. To amuse the idea further, you grabbed one of Aimi's star clips and clipped it to the top like an actual Christmas tree with a star on top.

You went back into the room and watched as Aimi melted into a puddle of laughter.

"Now you really are the Christmas tree, Ap," she giggled nonstop it seemed like. You smiled feeling happy. You always liked making others happy, you thought you were doing a good thing, and it always made you happy.

"The presents are ready," your mom called and you turned on your heel. You nearly tripped making your way to the living room as fast as you could.

You sat in a seat nearest to the tree, and saw a present on top of a pile. It was a slight rectangle, a bit smaller than a foot in each direction. And on a golden tag it had your name on it. Aopaote. You imagened ripping it open and enjoying the gift inside, ruining the red and black paper. The golden tag with your name in crisp black ink tore in half, the white ribbon tangled on the floor.

You sighed happily and fell back on the couch like you had no care in the world. You quickly sat back up and took a present in your hand.

"I can't wait!"
