Twelve. That's how many cousins packed into my grandmother's tiny apartment every Christmas. We were usually the first to arrive since we were the oldest and could help dig out the song books, set the table, and take every folding chair or comfy cushion we could find and strategically place them around the tree. Aunts, uncles, and cousins ranging in age from one to eleven arrived in a steady stream, each bringing their contribution to the buffet that was carefully assigned by my grandmother. We stuffed ourselves first, then gathered on the mismatched collection of chairs and cushions to sing off-key Christmas carols - the cousins getting visibly more excited and fidgety with each passing song. We all knew that by the time we finished, "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," there would be a knock at the door and a booming male voicing calling, "Ho, Ho, Ho!"
For years, "Santa" would deliver gifts to all the cousins and we were convinced that he made an extra Christmas Day trip just for us. As I got older, I started to recognize the eyes above the beard -- a friend from my grandmother's church, the upstairs neighbor. The Christmas after my 18
th
birthday, the piercing blue eyes above the beard belonged to my boyfriend who had generously volunteered to don the red suit and black boots. His broad shoulders filled out the furry red coat nicely with only his thick, muscular forearms visible. The pants were too baggy for me to see his tight ass as he bent over his gift bag to pull presents out for my little cousins.
As the gift wrap started to fly and the kids tore through the presents, Santa wished us all a Merry Christmas and I walked him to the door. He leaned over and whispered, "I have a very special package for you. Have you been good this year?" I felt below his black belt to try and grab hold of that special package but laughed when I could only get hold of the stuffing in the pillow that made his round Santa belly. "Bye Santa!" I called as I watched him walk down the block in the falling snow. Santa would never get into a random car in the driveway, so he parked a few blocks away in case one of the cousins peeked out the window. I had already started mentally disrobing Santa as I closed the door and headed back into the chaos.
A couple of hours later, I pulled up to his parents' house surprised to see only his car in the driveway. My boots crunched on the snow as I made my way up to the side door and knocked. I heard their ancient, arthritic dog bark a warning as the lock flipped, and he opened the door for me to get out of the cold and into the cozy kitchen. "The snow is supposed to get worse, so my parents are staying at my aunt's house tonight," he explained. A night full of new possibilities opened up with that statement.
"Mind if I take a quick shower? I feel all sticky and gross after playing with my little cousins for hours."
"Sure, but will you open one of your gifts first? When my parents called to say they would be gone tonight, I stopped and got you something you may want to put on."
I reached in the small, pink gift bag and felt something soft and stringy. I pulled out a triangle of red fur lined with white, and realized the stringy thong also included a furry strip of red down the back.
"What do you think Mrs. Claus? Want to try it on after you shower? There's a top in there, too."
"Only if you are in your full Santa outfit, minus the pillow stuffed belly, when I get out..."
"Deal."
The master bathroom had an amazing steam shower, and I took my time getting warm and letting my imagination explore the possibilities of the two of us in an empty house. I turned off the shower and sat in the steam for a bit, breathing it in and feeling the tiny drops of warmth on my skin. I had pulled into the driveway feeling spent and expecting a pretty tame, supervised night of Christmas movies, but now felt horny as hell.
Stepping out of the steam, I dried off and pulled the other part of my gift out of the pink bag. The top was red in the front, and strappy in the back. I slid into it and the soft, furry white straps went over my shoulders and crisscrossed my back leaving my skin open to the air. The front was red and sheer, loosely hanging down to my hips. I looked in the mirror and made a mental note to compliment him on his choice -- my hard nipples were making tiny tents in the fabric, and the sheerness highlighted the shape of my full, round, tits. I slid the bottoms on and completed the outfit. The strip of fur in the back settled into the crack of my ass, with the tips of the fur tickling me in an unexpectedly pleasant way. The fur strip thinned into a thin string connecting to the triangle in the front. I did one more mirror check, and opened the bathroom door expecting to find Santa, but instead found a pair of red high heels on the bed and an empty room.
Taking the hint, I slid into the heels, walked through the kitchen, and heard music playing up in the living room above the garage. I reached the top of the staircase, and there he was.
"
He was dress'd all in fur, from his head to his foot."
True to his word, my boyfriend was sitting in a big leather armchair next to the tree in his full Santa outfit.
