Going to participate in a 25 Days of Fic, I saw an advertisement on tumblr about this idea so thought why not have fun. I enjoyed writing Christmas Lights from Alice's prospective and wanted to play around more with it. Each day will have a different story/one shot involved with that topic.

Day 1- Mistletoe

"Here's the last box of decorations ma'am." Jaspers says as he brings down the last box with a label 'X-mas' on it. "Look what I found," he says as he hoovers something over my head. Peering up I recognize the green foliage from years past.

"You don't need that to ever get a kiss from me silly," leaning in I take the box and set it down so I could get closer to him. He tastes like the fresh kill we just had for our Thanksgiving meal. We were lucky enough to find a mountain lion tonight.

Hearing his name being called out Jasper pulls away but not before giving me one last kiss on the forehead. "I'll be right back to help." Handing me the mistletoe he leaves the room.

Grabbing a step stool I proceed to tape the mistletoe in the arch way between the kitchen and living room. Its always been tradition to hang it here cause it was a high traffic zone for our house layout. Returning the step stool next to the bookshelf I turn to the stereo to put on some Christmas music to dance to. How could you not dance around while unboxing decorations.

"Dashing through the snow. In a one-horse open sleigh. Over the fields we go. Laughing all..."

The slightest noise of a tape peeling and a leaf scraping tile catches me off guard. Turning away from the box I just opened there laying on the floor was the mistletoe I just put up. Instead of joining back into song I start humming with the jingle bell's song continues on.

"What's wrong Alice?" Jasper rushes over with concern in my eyes feeling my mood change.

"The mistletoe, it came down after I put it up there with some tape. Guess I need to find another method to hang it up with."

Pondering for a mere second Jasper then leaves the room and comes back with a nail and hammer in hand. "Here we go this should work."

"I don't know, you'll have to put a hole in one of the leaves and then it won't look as pretty."

Laughing it off Jasper tickles my skin with the end of the leaves. "No one will see it, only you and I will know. We don't have to tell anyone else. Don't worry your pretty little head now."

Grabbing the step stool Jasper reaches up and nails the leaf to the wall so a portion of it still dangled in the pathway.

"Okay, what's next?" Stepping down he slides the step stool out of the way and places the hammer on the bookshelf.

Going back to the box I previously was working on we both start to make a dent placing items all over the house. A few boxes later and several Christmas duets later we end up stringing white lights up the stairs banister. Everything came to a halt when a familiar sound echoes in my ear. Looking up into Jasper's eyes he know exactly what just happened. Grabbing ahold of my chin he gives me a little peak on the lips and hands me the lights while he checks the mistletoe. Sure enough when he turns the corner there was the mistletoe on the ground.

Laying the lights down on the steps I make my way over to Jasper. He was a little hesitant on showing me but he gives in. I couldn't say anything other than let my lip drop open. Not only was there a hole in one of the leaves but a tear all the way to the edge. Pulling me in for a hug Jasper calms my nerves. "We'll fix this, don't worry it won't ruin anything."

"I'm going to finish the stairs and then maybe go for a moonlight walk." Putting on my brave smile face the best I can I return to the lights on the stairs. Jasper never returns up with me. I let myself get lost in the music, if I focus enough on it I won't think about the mistletoe and its unwillingness to be a decoration this year.

I finish stringing the lights and smile at the job well done. I make my way down the stairs to find Jasper putting the mistletoe in the trash. Both of us stare at each other with wide eyes. "Don't worry about it, I'm still working on it."

Grabbing my hand he pulls me towards the back door. "We're going for a moonlight stroll."

Far enough from the house my annoyance takes control, "you know this isn't helping the mistletoe issue. Maybe I should go find a new branch." Chuckling escapes Jasper's mouth, "no worries when we return everything will be taking cared of."

Giving him a questionable look he shakes his head no and calms me to a state of nothingness. We talk and walk for several hours before returning home.

Coming into the house I'm greeted by everyone's warming smiles. "What's going on?"

Esme steps out of the archway, "well Jasper told us what was happening so we thought we would help."

Looking down at the base of the arch way the center tile now has a mistletoe painted on it.

"This way it can be up all year and you don't have to worry about it falling back down." Jasper says as he kisses me as we stand on top the mistletoe tile.
