This story is an official entry into the 2006 Winter Holiday Competition. I would like to extend my thanks to my Editor: Wafhottie for her help and advice over the last couple of weeks.

Ellyn loved Christmas time; it was her favorite time of the year. She loved the colorful lights adorning the department store windows, the yuletide decorations, the dangling tinsel hanging from the ceilings, and the carol music, which continuously resounded throughout every store she entered as she shopped for that perfect gift for each of her loved ones.
Although she was now eighteen years of age, Ellyn was still very much a child at heart. She would stand for ages, watching with fascination and delight the animated pantomime dolls in the windows portraying different Christmas adventures.
She especially loved watching the McCallum's Department Store's new Santa. He was not the jolly fat Santa that was the traditional Santa of days gone by. This Santa was of medium build with sapphire blue eyes and a wily smile, which hinted certain naughtiness in the man. The town's children constantly surrounded him as he sat in his large chair despite his nonconformity with other traditional Santa's.
Ellen was successful at landing a job within the McCallum Department store as one of Santa's little helpers. She was small in stature, standing only 5 foot 3 inches and was slim with firm full breasts, which bounced ever so slightly whenever she walked. She also had fair skin and long dark hair with ringlets that fell down her back, making her appear like an oversized 18th Century china doll.
Her sex appeal was not lost on the other males working within the store either, and the short red velveteen skirts with tight fitting blouses made her and the other nymphs' fair game. Ellen noticed the overt licentious looks and heard the lewd remarks made from time to time by the men who sought her attention, but she just took them in stride.
One of the first men to noticed Ellyn was Aden. At 30, Aden had amassed a small fortune creating software for online businesses. He was also the grandson of David McCallum, the owner of the store that employed Ellyn. Having a bit of time on his hands and thinking he might have a chance to bed this delectable creature, he took the job of Santa. She reminded him of a life-size doll. In his estimation, she was just the right height and size for the position.
Ellyn was acutely aware of his masculine qualities whenever she worked alongside him. She was also acutely aware that she was not the only nymph to find him attractive.
She observed Angelica frequently planting her tight little arse on his lap and cuddling into his chest. He would either laugh at her playfulness and tickle her or if not in the mood, tell her "to get off me... we have work to do."
Ellyn would inwardly sigh, desperately wanting the attention from him that Angelica received, but at the same time, she did not want the name, which automatically came with such behavior.
Ellyn would unknowingly drive Aden wild by her untapped sensuality and femininity.
Her short skirt would drive him to distraction as her legs were long and shapely, and the occasional glimpse of her bare thighs would stir his blood to a near boiling point.
He took what Angelina offered him but his desire was for Ellyn alone.
Christmas Eve came round quickly and as McCallum's doors closed at six pm; Aden felt a touch of sadness, even regret that tomorrow was Christmas Day.
He watched Ellyn, the only nymph still on duty with him, packing up the last of the complimentary toys Santa had handed out to the visiting children and place them the large cardboard box in front of her.
She stood and turned to face him. "All finished," she stated quietly.
The look on her face as she gazed at him told him what her lips could not. In her eyes, he saw the need, the desire... even a touch of love. She turned away from him as raw emotion overtook her.
