It was your 5th Christmas with Mike and his sister, but your 1st Christmas as Mike’s girlfriend.

Normally Mike enjoyed the holiday, but never really went all out. This year, however, Abby sits on the ground, surrounded by bright colored wrapping paper, and Mike stands beside her with a video camera.

Last Christmas plays on the CD player as Mike happily passes you a gift.

“Come on! Open it!” He insists, seemingly more giddy than usual, even for the holidays.
