At the dragon caves of the emperor's sister, there sat 12 people eagerly awaiting the time to open their gifts, as was tradition. They all picked a number out of a hat, which said in what order they'd open their gifts from some anonymous secret Santa!!
The order was:
1 -- Esis
2 -- Sylfiel
3 -- Xellos
4 -- Zelgadis
5 -- Lina
6 -- Martina
7 -- Zelas
8 -- Filia
9 -- Liny, a.k.a. Shadow Lina
10 -- Amelia
11 -- Val
12 -- Garv
"Okay!! Now everyone has their number! So when it your turn you say your number, open your gift and say what you got!" Esis proclaimed.
"Like that 12 days of Christmas song?" Amelia inquired.
"Yup!" Esis grinned.
"Why?" Zel asked, annoyed about the whole stupid thing.
"Its tradition!!! No more complaining!! Now I'm number one! so I start!!" Esis growled.
"For the first gift at x-mas my secret Santa gave to me..." she sang, tearing through the wrapping paper like mad, "A BIG SCREAN COLOUR TV!!!!"
Everyone gawked at Esis and her new Zenith, as Sylfiel got her gift. "For the second gift at x-mas my secret Santa gave to me..." she softly sang, gently pealing away each layer of wrapping to reveal, "two." she said remembering to say her number, "turquoise gloves."
"1; big screen colour TV!!" Esis finished. "next is Xellos!"
"For the third gift at x-mas, my secret Santa gave to me..." Xellos sang as he opened his present. " 3!. Fountain pens."

"For the fifth gift at x-mas, my secret Santa gave to me..." Lina said smoothly, tearing her wrapping paper faster than Esis had. "5.... erp!'
"what is it Lina!!" everyone asked.
"g....RED G-Strings!!!!!" she blushed with either fury or embarrassment, or both.
"4 calling cards."
"3 fountain pens"
"2 turquoise gloves"
"and 1 big screen colour TV!!" the others raced hoping to move on quickly enough before Lina blew a gasket.
"For the sixth gift at x-mas, my secret Santa gave to me..." Martina sang, off-key. "6! books on sooth-saying."
