25 Days Until Our First Christmas Together
It was the day before Christmas Eve. Melody was sitting in the warmest PJs ever with the cuddliest pair of banana slippers. She was rocking in a rocking chair by the fire. It was late, Dave was asleep and so were the boys. She knew tomorrow was Christmas Eve, but she didn't feel as excited as she used to. She felt like something was missing. Something missing from her that was causing her to feel no excitement towards Christmas. That's when she heard silent whispers,
"Melody?" Melody turned to see Alvin, Simon, and Theodore in there cozy winter PJs.
"What are you three doing up?" Melody asked. "It's late and well…I guess I can't use that. It's late even for me. Anyways, what are you three doing up anyways?"
"Well, we wanted to show you tomorrow." Simon whispered.
"But we heard you get up and we sort of decided." Theodore continued.
"That we should give this to you now." Alvin finished. Melody looked confused as the boys pulled out something small wrapped in old Christmas wrapping paper.
"Boys, it's not even Christmas yet." Melody responded while taking the present.
"Open it." The boys both whispered. Melody ripped at the wrapping paper and what was revealed was a small book, but this wasn't any book. It was a diary. Melody's face lit up because Melody knew exactly what it was. It was the diary of the 25 days till the very first Christmas Melody had with the boys.
"Boys, where did you find this? When and how?" Melody asked silently.
"It was in our room, in our closet. Remember the other day Dave made us go though our closet, we found it on one of shelves on the wall in our closet." Theodore replied in a whisper.
"Go on, read it to us." Simon said in a silent tone. Melody smiled and opened the diary and began to read,

Dear Whoever Finds and Reads this (Yes Alvin you can read this),
Ugh hi, it's Melody. Crap, this is bad. Ugh, well I decided to keep this diary until Christmas day. The boys are going to help write this diary I think. Hmm, I wonder if they'll find this, anyways, I decided to start this whole diary thing, you don't know how excited I am. I mean, this is going to be my very first Christmas with the boys. So there was of course school today, eww and get this, Alvin began singing Deck the Halls in the hall way, how original, so I decided to tweak it up to be you know, funny. So I started to sing like this,
"Clear the halls when you see Alvin. Fa la la la la la la la la." It sort of went something like that and the ending went something like this, "When you see him and if he says hey, fa la la fa la la la la la. Do a favor and turn the other way fa la la la la la la la la." Then I remember the laughter and the look on Alvin's face. Well, come on he did owe me 50 bucks and never paid it back so here's his new form of payment, it's called public humiliation. Then we all went home after a long day at school and did homework. I'm in my PJs diary; LOL thought you might want to know that it's late and I have to get to bed.
Sincerely,
Melody
"I've always hated you for writing that in here, Melody." Alvin whispered. "About me singing Deck the Halls."
"Well, you did owe me 50 bucks." Melody silently giggled.
"Now let's read my entry." Alvin flipped the page over and Alvin read his passage,

Dear stupid thing that I found in Melody's room,
I just read the first passage of what Melody wrote. I can't believe that she actually wrote down my public humiliation. Yes, this is Alvin. Well hey, if I get after Melody for what she wrote it's her fault. She said I could read and write in this. So ha (sticks out tongue). So today Simon and I went to go and get free doughnuts before school. They were good except I was extremely cold and Simon wouldn't let me barrow his jacket. Then I just remembered I forgot my math book. So I asked Simon if I could barrow his math book and of course, he said no. Right when he said that, snow just started falling and then I realized it couldn't have been snow. I turned around and so that Theodore was dumping ice shavings mixed with laundry detergent on me so it felt cold and looked like snow. Theodore giggled as my face turned red. I chased him down the block as Simon was laughing like a hyena. Yes, a friggen hyena (JERK!). So today I walked into class with laundry detergent on my head and wet clothes. Brittany turned to me and asked,
"What happened?"
"Trust me, you don't want to know." Was my reply. So after school I decided to get Theodore and Simon back. I took ice out of the fridge and stuck it down their backs. It was hilarious until Melody did it to me 5 minutes later. Later at night, we put out some of the Christmas decorations in the house. No one fought, no one played pranks on each other, we talked and had a fun time doing it. I think that was my favorite part of today
You're A man,
Alvin
"Ugh A man?" Simon whispered in confusion.
"What?" Alvin asked.
"Oh nothing, it sure doesn't stand for angel and It's just that you act like Theodore and I are the bad guys in this entry."
"Well, you are."
"You got to admit Alvin. That was funny." Theodore began. "It's a good thing Melody suggested it to us."
"What?"
"Let's just go ahead to Theodore's entry." Melody giggled awkwardly. She flipped to Theodore's entry and Theodore began to read,

Dear Melody's journal,
Today is of course is Sunday. I meant to write this Friday but you know, it's a busy season. Today we put up the Christmas tree. Melody and Dave set it up and the Chipettes came over and helped us decorate. Simon was walking around the house barefoot and stepped on a glass ornament. Dave freaked out. Simon didn't even scream out in horrible pain, he just kept saying "this hurts" or "owe" in his own regular tone. Luckily Jeanette helped him get out all the glass from his foot with Melody's assistance. Then Jeanette wrapped up Simon's foot in bandages and Melody put some toasty socks over his feet. He sat in a chair for the rest of the time hanging up ornaments from there. When the tree was done, it was decided to give Melody the honors of putting the star on top. When Melody put the star on and got down, we admired our tree. The Chipettes stayed for the rest of the day and went home. Tomorrow is school so I have to go now. We have 2 weeks till vacation and I just can't wait,
From your Pal,
Theodore
"You know, all the glass in my foot really did hurt." Simon said. "But I didn't scream because Jeanette was there."
"Yeah because you secretly like her." Alvin giggled.
"Well, you like Brittany."
"Who's Brittany?"
"Alvin!" Melody said loudly but quiet enough for Dave not to be woken up while giving Alvin a light hit on the shoulder.
"Kidding." Alvin responded. "Let's move to Simon's entry." Alvin turned the page and Simon began to read his entry.

Dear Melody's Journal,
I would like to inform you that I just had a math test today and I think I aced it. Well obviously because I'm Simon. Jeanette and I began talking about a get together over the weekend on Saturday. My cut on my foot was almost healed. Interesting how today in Science, I learned about mitosis. I was told that whenever you cut your skin, mitosis begins to take place quickly to heal the wound. Anyways, Christmas is right around the corner. I've been wondering what to get everyone. Melody could use a new drawing pad, she's a pretty could artist, I've seen her drawings. Theodore could use a cooking kit. Alvin can get a lump of coal, I mean scratch that, maybe I'll get him that video game he wanted. I don't know about Dave, but I'll figure something out. Not much left to say.
Sincerely,
Simon
Agh Christmas to my ears. Camp Competive will be updated sometime tomarrow night. There's more to this story trust me. Stay tuned.
