Jimmy's Christmas Present by JR Wirth presents a cute story of a 24-year-old college student, Jimmy, who is performing a college psychology study by going to the mall during the holidays and pretending to fall and drop presents to see if anyone helps him, and what kind of people do and don't help. During one of his fake falls, a beautiful "elf" helps him up and he is instantly attracted to her. Having not had a relationship in several years, though, he missed his opportunity to get her name and she disappears back into the mall and he can't find her. While searching for her, Jimmy gets to meet the real Santa Claus and he asks him for a girlfriend, hopefully the mysterious "elfin" girl, for Christmas.
