Secret Santa
The only Jewish person at Patterson and Associates, Micah Adler grudgingly participates in the office's "secret Santa" gift exchange at Christmas. But the gift that waits for him is a little surprising -- a brand-new box of condoms, with a suggestive, unsigned note attached.
In trying to figure out who might have sent the gift, he narrows it down to two Brady or Jonathan. Both men are young, attractive, and single, like Micah himself, though if Micah had his choice, he'd pick Jonathan. He's harbored a not-so-secret crush on the guy ever since they met when Micah began working at the firm. But Micah knows it's a hopeless cause -- Jonathan is straight, and said as much when Micah first hit on him months ago.
Since Brady is gay, Micah suspects the condoms and other sexually-themed presents he receives are either a gag gift from one queer to another or a blatant offer to spend the holiday with someone else. When the trio decide to go out after work on Christmas Eve, Micah thinks he'll get a chance to flirt with Brady and see where the evening might end.
But is Brady really Micah's secret Santa? Or does Jonathan have something he wants to confess?

February 19, 2012Secret Santa is a classical office romance, with all the sweet naughtiness that usually these romances convey. Micah is Jewish and so he should not partake in the Christmas festivities, but his office organized a Secret Santa gift exchange and now he has a nice little packet on his desk. Only that inside the packet there is a box of condoms and the message is very, very naughty. In an office of few people, there are only 2 other gay men, and one is in a committed relationship, so Micah is sure the gift is from Brady. Brady is no bad as a chance, but Micah would have preferred for him to be Jonathan. Only that Jonathan is not gay, as Micah found out the very first night they hung out together, when his drunken move on him was kindly rejected, kindly but still rejected. Micah doesn’t believe in Santa, but maybe, if he is a good guy, he will have his dream comes true.
A nice and sexy short story, with a final sweet touch, Secret Santa is a good short interlude during the Christmas season.

Jonathan draws Micah's name in Secret Santa and uses the opportunity to send naughty gifts to Micah to let him know he changed his mind about not being interested in guys. Micah doesn't suspect Jonathan but wishes it was him. When Jonathan confesses it was him, Micah believes it the best Christmas gift made even better when they reveal they love each other.

I don't think I'll ever have a secret Santa like Johnathan was for Micah. I'm more Ryan and have my Santa 24/7, except last night as I'm off visiting with my mother an hour and a half away from him. A very hot secret Santa to say the least.

Cute story! I liked the setup and the writing was good. I had two niggles, and the ending felt a little abrupt.
Still a nice Christmas story that I think most would enjoy.

This came up when I was looking for stories about Chanukkah and it's not, but I guess there were enough nods to Micah being Jewish that it could at least be considered a Chrismukkah story.
