Under the Tree

[ken_murata]

With some help from both powerful and magical contacts, Murata has managed to get together a present for every person in the community and they are all now under the decorated Christmas tree he put up earlier along with help from some of the people in the community

I scanned over the massive heap of gifts - gifts! gifts! gifts! looking for a gift shaped long and thin, maybe holding the holy grail of Christmas gifts - an official Red Ryder carbine action two hundred-shot range model air rifle with a compass in the stock and this thing which tells time.

Murata watches Ralphie curiously.

I went on my hands and knees, brows furrowed with concentration, looking, looking - No, not there. I crawled on my hands and knees, circling the tree, looking hard. It had to be there - it had to.

There's plenty of gifts and if he keeps on looking he's bound to find what he's looking for - and with his name specifically on the card.

I circled the entire tree, when I spotted something, something that could, maybe, maybe be it - I reached foward, pulling the card toward me.

"Ralphie Parker" it said.

This was it!

In no time, I ripped open the gift, discarding the paper - and inside, beautiful, glorious, my Red Rider BB gun.

Still watching, Ken looks a little surprised by the gift as he has no idea what's actually inside the presents. He just arranged things and helped with the cards.
