A/N This chapter goes out to andolph14! Thanks for your great ideas!
APOV
"Every one," I called, "I need to talk to you outside."
We met outside. I waited for everyone to come before I started to talk.
"Well, I have…" I started.
"Why do we have to have the meeting out side? And what took over the living room." Emmet interrupted.
"Well, if you had any common sense you would think that the family meeting is outside because the living room is full of Christmas lights. And why are you complaining about the meeting being outside," I told Emmet.
"I am complaining because, like I told you before, I get cold," Emmet replied. I swear he was born became a toddler and never grew up.
"EMMET YOU ARE A VAMPIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway I would like to warn you tomorrow and 7:00 sharp," I said.
"What are we doing?" Bella asked.
"We are decorating trees," I said excitedly.
"Real fun," Bella mumbled.
"Bella remember I can hear what you say even if you mumble," I reminded her.
"Oh," she said.

"Bella, Bella time to get up!" I said. I was jumping on the bed.
"Alice, go away for another hour," Bella complained.
"No," I said.
"If you do…I will go present shopping with you," Bella said.
Wow Bella must really be out of it, she just agreed to go shopping. What should I do? Should I let her sleep and then take advantage of her agreeing to shopping with me…or…should I get her up now and start decorating. I chose the first option that was the one that would help me the most.
"Fine, Bella, one hour," I said sternly.

BPOV
Wow, I am stupid. I just agreed to go shopping with Alice, just to get another hour of sleep.
"Bella, Bella, Bella," Alice screamed in my ear.
"What?" I asked irritably. Wasn't it just almost five minutes ago when I asked her for another hour?
"Get up," she demanded.
"No," I responded.
"Don't make me go get Emmet," Alice threatened.
"You wouldn't," I said.
"Oh yes I would," she challenged me.
"Prove it," I challenged back.
"Emmet!" Alice called.
"What," Emmet shouted back, even thought there was no need of it because of the vampire hearing.
"Bella, needs help waking up," Alice said simply.
"Sure, be right up," Emmet said.
Before I could even register what Alice said and how Emmet responded I was dangling upside down. Then Emmet started to shake me. I could feel the blood rush to my head.
"Emmet, put me down," I said.
"What, I can't hear you," Emmet replied.
"EMMET I know that you can hear me. Remember you are a vampire," I shouted at him.
"The point," he said.
"You could hear when I said put me down," I said.
Then thankfully Emmet put me down. I went to the bathroom and brushed my hair and then my teeth. When I went down stairs I noticed the absence of the many coils of Christmas lights and extension cords.
"Every one outside," Alice commanded.
When I got outside I saw boxes and boxes of Christmas ornaments.
"Okay everyone here is how it's going to work, I will assign you a section you will finish decorating that section by the end of the day. If you fail that task you will start tomorrow and try to finish," Alice said, with authority.
"Yes, Alice," every one replied.
"I will assign you with a partner," Alice said, "Emmet you are working with Rosalie, Esme you can work with Carlisle, Jasper you are working with Edward, and Bella you get to work with me!"
"I want to work with Bella," Edward said.
"Too bad, I planned it this way and you are going to live with it," Alice said.
Everyone went off to their section of trees and started to decorate. With me and Alice it was mostly Alice decorating at vampire speed and talking human while I watched ornaments and lights "magically" appear. It was kind of nice we talked about random things that unfortunately included shopping.
"Bella I know that you don't like to shop, but I think that we should talk about shopping," Alice said.
By now I started to decorate on one tree. The funny thing was that in the time that is took me to put one ornament on Alice completed about 3 trees.

"Oh, look at the time," Alice said "I think that we should check out every one work," Alice said.
"Okay," I said.
We walked over to Rosalie and Emmet's section first. There Emmet, Jasper, and Edward were arguing. Rosalie was off to the side just shaking her head at them.
"Emmet, you can't have feakin' a teddy on the top of you Christmas tree," Edward yelled.
"Yes I can!" Emmet cried back like a little kid.
"No Emmet. I won't let a teddy bear show the way to my house," Edward replied, still yelling.
"Hey, it's my house too. Jazz you decide. Should Mr. Teddy stay on the sop of the tree," Emmet whined.
"Uh...um…I don't know," Jasper replied.
"What do you mean you don't know? Either you want it or you don't" Edward screamed. I swear if he were human he would be red from anger.
"Uh, I don't really care, it's between you and him," Jasper said calmly.
"Ha! Ha! Edward. If he said he didn't care that means that he likes the idea and he just doesn't want to insult you by saying that he doesn't," Emmet said.
Meanwhile
EsmePOV
"Carlisle, I think that Alice thought up a good idea," Esme said.
"Yeah, it gives everybody sometime to hangout and enjoy the holiday season," Carlisle replied.
"Yeah, I think that it is amazing that they haven't started to fight over something stupid yet," Esme said.
"Yes, finally peace and quiet," Carlisle said.
"Carlisle do you hear that," Esme asked.
"What," Carlisle asked.
"Oh, yeah I hear it," Carlisle, "I think they they're fighting about something.
"Oh geez, I spoke to soon," Esme said before they started to run to find out what was going on.
When Carlisle and I got there Edward and Emmet were wrestling. I wonder what this was about.
"Okay, what's going on here," I asked calmly.
"Edward and Emmet are fighting over Emmet having a teddy bear on the top of his Christmas trees," Alice said bored.
"Okay," I said.
"Boys, stop wrestling and let me hear what happened," I said.
"Fine," Emmet and Edward both replied.
"Emmet, do you want to go first?" I asked.
"Sure," he said, "I was just right here minding my own business when Edward came over. He started to bug me about having a teddy bear on the top of my tree,"
"Edward is that true," I asked.
"Yeah," he said.
"Why do you care if there is teddy bear on the top of Emmet's tree?" I asked.
"Well, because people from my school are going to be coming to our houses, guided by the Christmas trees. I don't want people to think that I put a teddy bear on the top of the tree," Edward admitted.
"Okay Edward," I said, "I know that you don't want that but it is Emmet's section to decorate,"
"Fine, I'll just be humiliated," Edward said.
Even though I knew that it should be up to Emmet to decorate his trees it hurt me. I didn't want any of my sons to be upset. I was thinking about it when Bella spoke up.
"Edward, I have an idea," Bella said.
"What," Edward snapped.
"Well since we each have a section why don't we put a sign up in front of each of our sections. Like for example when your section starts we put a big sign saying decorated by Edward and Jasper. In front of Emmet and Rosalie's section we put a sign that says decorated by Emmet and Rosalie. The same thing will happen with me and Alice's (A/NI know this is wrong grammar I didn't know how else to say it) and Carlisle and Esme's," Bella said.
"Wow, Bella, great idea," I said, "Edward, what do you think?"
"Well it sounds great. I don't really care if there is a teddy bear on top if people know that I am not the one that put it up there," Edward said.
"Okay," I said, "who wants to make the signs or should each team make their own?" I asked.
"I think the each team should make their own," Jasper said, "I mean because everyone decorated their own section and their sign is part of their section. I think that they should design it themselves,"
"Great," Alice said, "Bella, let's go back to the house and start making our sign,"
"Okay," Bella said, "I guess my plans were mad for me. See ya guys,"
A/N Hey, I was going to stop sooner but I found out that I had a snow day tomorrow and that gave me an adrenaline rush. The next chapter is probably going to be present shopping. I really need suggestions for presents for each character from each character (this is for when they open presents. Shopping will probably be Alice and Bella. If you send in an idea I will mention you in the beginning of the chapter.
