It was a cold winter night as snow dropped on the house's roof on Christmas eve. A small girl could be seen running through the house with a gift for her held over her head.
"I WANNA OPEN IT!" She repeated over and over.

"No, May!" Her brother sighed, grabbing it and putting it up high. "That's the last one, okay? Last one. Best for last."
He was ready for bed, dressed in sweatpants and a wife beater. A fire was raging in the fireplace and April had a think of hot cocoa and cookies in the front room, close to the tree.

"Because you need to save ONE for tomorrow." He replied.

"Why, though?" She asked, stopping in her place and looking at her brother with a pout.

"Because if you don't, what's going to make tomorrow special for you? Since Auntie June said she can't come down, And Auntie Harley's too busy... it's just going to be you, me, and mom tomorrow."

"...Gifts from Santa, silly!" May replied, a toothy grin on her face.

But don't you want to unwrap one then too? Plus, this one's the best one. It should be saved!"

"..." May then ran to her mother, gift above her head. "MOMMY, CAN I OPEN THIS LAST ONE, PLEASE?!" She asked in her squeaky voice, glee carried in her tone.

"No May," April called back to her, "Save it for tomorrow."

"Okay, Mommy..." She said, putting down the gift with disappointment and walking off to her bedroom.

April went and tucked her in, and soon the whole house was asleep.

May would eventually wake up around 5AM, and go downstairs quietly to see her gifts...

Max came down a bit later, and then April. He opened up a few of his things- nothing really big, some clothes. April had been given a necklace by the two of her kids.

May mostly got toys and clothes from Santa, still eying the last gift from the night before...
