This is my first story. It has a twist on the episodes, "Return of Nellie", and Bless all the dear Children"

Christmas At The Olsen's

It's Christmas time in Walnut Grove and everyone is excited and getting ready for all the festivals. At the Olsen's a lot of preparation is being made as they just received a letter from Nellie, their daughter who is married and moved to New York with her husband Percival and two children, Ben and Jenny they are coming home for Christmas! All are excited about them coming, Nels, Harriet ,Willie, and yes even Nancy for she remembers the last time Nellie was home for a visit they became good friends. Nancy really wants to see her again and meet her husband and children also.

Willie tells Rachel, his wife, that his sister and family are coming home for Christmas and Rachel is also excited to see them.

They are getting ready for Nellie's return, getting things together. Nancy is excited about seeing Percival and Nellie but is also caught up in making her Christmas list as Nancy puts her list up in the Mercantile, Nels asks her to get a tree. Nancy, "A Tree?"

Nels, "Yes a tree your sister will be here in a week."

Nancy, " I'm busy with my Christmas list do you think Nellie will get me something?"

Nels, " Won't know unless we get a tree to put them under"

Nancy wants to help but doesn't want to go to the woods. Just then Jason Carter walks in. "Nancy I need to tell your father not to get the scarf I ordered for my mom for I don't have the money to pay for it nobody needs me to cut trees"

Nancy says, " it's already here, but wait you can cut me a tree for it!"

Jason returns in an hour later with a tree but it is small, "Nancy, I have the tree"

Nancy, "You expect me to put that in my living room?"

Jason, "It's not that bad"

As Nancy turns her head, "Oh take your tree"

Jason, "What about my scarf?"

Nancy just ignores him and goes back inside and says to herself, " I'm going to have to go to the woods..." and than she sees a big tree outside the window and decides, hmmm... she cuts the tree and it lands through the window, Nels screams, "NANCY!"

Nancy says, "You hate me don't you?"

Nels, "YES!"

The tree is finally up and decorated it, and yes Nancy helps to decorate. Just two more days and Nellie, Percival, and the two children Ben and Jenny will be home for Christmas.

The next day Nels and Harriet are sitting in the living room looking at the tree and starts to talk, Harriet says, Nels we haven't seen Ben and Jenny's since they were babies."

Nels, "I know they are like 10 years old now."

Harriet , "Do you think they will know us?"

Nels, " I'm sure they will!''

Harriet, "I hope so! I can't wait to see them"

Nels, " They will be here tomorrow!"
