Ok, so... this idea randomly came to me a few days ago, and as soon as the inspiration hit, I started writing it. This story is basically going to have 13 chapters. The 13th one? Christmas Day.
Counting down to Christmas with the Cullen's. Sound fun? I hope so. Haha. (:
One of these will be posted every day, preferably at the end of the day. And bear in mind that each one will be a little short, because it's really only the most important snippets of what happened that day.
But the very last chapter will be pretty long, so be excited for that! Haha :P
So here is the introduction to "The 12 Days of Christmas". Please review! Thank you very much! (:

12 Days To Christmas
Winter. The wonderful season of peace, love, and happiness. Glittering icicles hanging from the trees, powdered snow draped over houses and cars, snowmen built in empty fields and backyards, the laughter of children catching snowflakes on their tongue... everything about winter is beautiful.
But in my opinion, there is one special day in the season of winter that stands out. One day that gives people the chance to give, love, and care for one another. And that day is Christmas.
My Christmas's at home in Phoenix had always been eventful and fun. Running downstairs early in the morning to peer down at all the presents under the Christmas tree, my eyes going wide in wonder. Ripping off the wrapping paper and being surprised by what you'd received was the best moment for any kid on Christmas day. That, and of course, the delicious Christmas dinner that followed in the evening.
When I'd moved to Forks, Christmas hadn't been as big of a deal. Charlie and I opened our presents together in the morning, being embarrassed by each others thanks. And then I'd head to the Cullen's house while Charlie settled by the television to watch some Christmas specials.
Of course, Christmas at the Cullen's house was always a bit more eventful than that. Esme always had the Christmas tree looking beautiful, with everyone's presents wrapped neatly beneath it. We'd open our presents together, laughing and chatting as I cuddled into Edward's welcoming chest. Him and I never gave each other presents. It was my rule, and I stuck by it. There was nothing at all that I could get him that would top the fact that he'd chosen me out of every girl in the world to be in love with. Well, it hadn't really been a choice (as he constantly pointed out), he'd just been waiting for his soul mate. And that's what I was.
But still, no Christmas present would be able to top that. And besides, I didn't like having a lot of money spent on. The other Cullen's insisted, but Edward went by the rule, because he knew I would be happier that way. Though he really wanted to give me something, he went by my rule, and never gave me a single present. And I was content.
Last Christmas hadn't been close to the Christmas's I was used to. It had been rushed, and almost avoided in a way. You couldn't blame us; we'd been so worried about Renesmee's growing age rate, and of course the fact that Irina had informed the Volturi a lie. That Rensemee was an immortal child. We all knew that she wasn't, but Irina hadn't known, and neither had Aro when he had come to destroy her.
But all that was in the past, and this Christmas, I was determined to have the best Christmas ever. No matter what it took.

I hope that was pretty good for an introduction. Tomorrow, there will be 11 days until Christmas, and I will post the next part of what the Cullen's are up to (:
Please review! Thanks! (:
