Secret Santa Switch

It was supposed to be a harmless Secret Santa surprise — a silly photo booth corner, dim lights, laughter echoing in the room. Somewhere between adjusting a Santa hat and posing for a quick snap, something strange happened. When I glanced at the screen, her reflection blinked back at me with my face wearing her expression. The swap wasn’t planned, but it felt oddly confident, like stepping into someone else’s moment for a second. The room laughed, the music rolled on, and the mystery of that accidental switch became the best gift of the night.
