“Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays!” Keegan called, handing out candy canes to some of the people walking by. Over the winter break, Keegan had found himself a job as one of Santa’s helpers at the local mall and, there was something about it that really got him into the spirit of the quickly-approaching Holiday season. 

At first, the timid boy thought he’d absolutely dread running around the mall in the... notably flamboyant and form-fitting costume, but he quickly realized that dressing in distractingly bright colors was the perfect way to draw attention to his clothes instead of to himself. Needless to say, this was the least self-conscious that the boy had felt in years--and it showed.

“Happy Holidays, sir! If you celebrate Christmas, Santa’s down on the second floor! The line’s currently kind of short, and he’s taking wishes!” he said happily, handing the man a few candy canes.
