Nicole was surprised when Mrs. Morgan, Rachel's mom, called her Christmas Eve and told her to come over the next morning. Curios, she woke up Christmas morning, before her parents got up, and ran down the street to Rachel's house. Mrs. Morgan answered the door and silently directed her into the living room. <br />Rachel was still lying by the tree, wrapped up tight, a pretty package with a bow, but her mom had relented a little bit, and left her daughter a blanket. She squirmed up onto her knees, as Nicole turned on the lights. Rachel looked up sheepishly, as Nicole removed her gag. <br />"Merry Christmas!"
