He'd been planning this for a while. Sure, he probably should have waited until Christmas, but with so many folks not being able to go home for such a thing maybe a little early surprise would be good for them. It had taken quite a bit of shopping, too. Something Alex hated with a passion, but in this case it was a necessary evil.
Each box was simply tagged with a name. Sure, those with good noses would likely know who left them, but hopefully for the rest of his team they'd wonder. Or maybe guess. Didn't really matter, but a bit of mystery made everything a bit more fun and this was all about fun. He was trying very hard to keep this fun, not thing about who was missing during the holiday. Helped a lot that his older brother was here, though. Not that he'd admit such a thing.
Inside each box was an assortment of things. Some candy, some snacks, a movie or two, and a book that he thought might appeal to whatever member the box was for. A few had special items...a lovely necklace for Lorna, a framed picture of Gabe for Scott...ok, so Alex really wasn't very good at this anonymous thing. But he was trying.
Most would be found Sunday morning, when the room occupants woke and got up and about for the day, sitting outside the door. Or perhaps when they got back, if they come home exceptionally late on Saturday night/Sunday morning. But regardless of when they were found, Alex was sneaky enough to not be seen leaving them.
