A/N: For the P100 Challenge 136: Secret Santa. Many thanks to Fred for the beta.

Lester bit back his groan at the overly-decorated tree, surrounded by presents.

Of course Connor would think an office Secret Santa was a great idea. That Abby and Sarah had aided and abetted him wasn't a surprise. Becker had followed Sarah's lead, and Danny just threw himself into everything.

Lester found himself longing for the far more refined times when Nick, Jenny and Stephen had provided some much needed sanity to Christmas.

Now only he remained to do that and, for once, Lester just couldn't – they reminded him of his own children and he couldn't spoil their fun. Not now.

Aw, lovely!

And don't worry about the word count - as Fred said I think it's probably counting the hyphenated word as two. And anyway, I do give a bit of leeway if there's only a word or so over :D

Thanks, glad you liked it.

Good to know about the leeway - that last word is often a bugger.

Now, if it was counting the hypenated word as two it would make sense, but no, it is counting the dash in the last paragraph as one. *grr*

Lol, sometimes there really is no understanding how word count applications work!

Certainly not mine.
