A Sheltered Christmas

This short story is a part of a group event we did on another platform. I'm bringing it to Wattpad for your enjoyment. Here is my prompt:

Let's see what I did with this. Shall we?

Fair Warning: I left the ending on this one open. Feel free to complain in the comments, though. I have already been told off for it, just FYI.
