" did you see anyone deliver this here when I was gone" Joey asked her brother as she came in. The Christmas tree was placed at the wall near the TV in her living room, the presents were there as well waiting to be opened. Her parents sat at their respective wheel chairs.
" No not really. Can we open the presents now" her brother Max pouts. Joey ignored him.
" What about you guys, see anyone dropped this" she points at the present on the table now.
" No" her dad said.
" Maybe you have a secret Santa" her mum teased.
" Yes" dad chimes in agreement.
" Joey's secret Santa! Joey's secret Santa!" Max sings and her parents laughs.
" C'mon!" Joey drawls." Fine let's just open the presents" she concludes and walks up to pick up the presents giving each one to her brother and her parents.
" Open them" she says and they did.
" Oh my God!! It's the avengers toy collection! All of them" Max exclaims with joy. " You said this was expensive to get"
" Well I saved a little for all of you" Joey informed them.
" Thank you" Max hugs her and pulls off.
" Her parents opened theirs. Both gifts were a custom made T-shirt with printed words.
I love you and Merry Christmas!
" Awwwwn! You made this for us" mum cut the silence.
" Thank you Joey" he said with a little tears pouring down his eyes.
" Merry Christmas guys" she replies.
" Come here you two" mum opens her arms and they all hug each other.
" Sorry we couldn't get you anything we..." Joey cut her dad off.
" Hey I don't care, this is the best present I can ever have. All of you right here" she pointed out. It made them smile.
" Wait your secret present,open it" max handed her the gift.
Joey gazed at it for a while before shrugging it off and began losing the wraps, opening the box.
" What is it?" Dad and mom even max drew near to see.
It was a watch with her name written in gold at the side.
" It's beautiful" mom commented.
" Yeah but who could this secret Santa be?" Dad questioned.
" I've know idea" Joey wondered lost in thought again. She never had time to say hi to anyone during school hours. It was go to school, get through all classes and get back home.
