-Chapter 3: O Christmas Tree-

(December 3, 2008- 4PM- Gabriella's House-)

"Gabriella, did you and your father find the tree decorations?" Inez yelled up the attic steps to her daughter as she wiped her hands on her apron.

"Yeah. We're coming mommy!" Gabriella yelled as she and her dad gathered up the four massive totes and brought them down, each one carrying two piled up top of each other.

"Ripped much mija!" Inez told her daughter seeing her daughter's ripped muscles in her arm as she carried the totes.

"I'm actually glad I'm ripped like Mia Hamm because then I wouldn't be able to carry these heavy totes!" Gabriella said as she sat them down in the living room on the couch.

"Alright. Let's get the lights on the tree first. Did you check to make sure they all worked Izzy?" Greg asked his wife using her nickname.

"Sure did. They all worked." Inez said as each of them put up the first strand, which was a set of Christmas lights that blinked in tune with the music that came with them. The next strand was a set of motion lights, and then another set of motion lights.

The next thing the put on the tree was the gold, silver, blue, red, and white garland around the tree, before the started to put their Christmas bulbs on it, but these Christmas bulbs were your normal kind, these ones where custom made by Snowflake Ornament Company for their family, seeing as Greg was the Head Coach of the Los Angeles Lakers that belonged to the NBA (National Basketball Association).

After putting the bulbs on, they put the other ornaments on that Gabriella made with her grandma on her mom's side which were hand made as was every little detail on them and the glaze on them.

After all the decorations were on, they put on the candy canes and the silver tinsel, before Greg lifted Gabriella up in his arms and placed her on his shoulders, like he did ever since she was little, and let her place their family angel on the top of the tree.

"Wow, now that's beautiful!" Gabriella said as they all stepped back to look at it in the sunlight.

"It truly is." Greg agreed with his daughter.

"It is! We did good this year," Inez said with a smile as the others nodded.

"We so did!" Gabriella said.

"Picture time!" Inez said as she went to grab her camera as Gabriella went to grab her digital camera also to take a picture of the tree.


(Troy's house)

"Did you guys get the lights put up yet?" Lucille Marie Bolton, Troy's mom, asked her son and her husband as she came in with a box of Christmas bulbs and candy canes.

"Yep. All stranded on the tree, momma." Troy told his mom with a smile as he kissed his cheek as he picked up his cell phone.

"Gabriella." Lucille and her husband, East High P.E. teacher/ health teacher/athletic director/boys basketball coach, Jackson "Jack" Andrew Bolton, said together with a smile knowing that was Troy's and Gabriella's ringtone for each other.

Twenty minutes later, Troy came back in the living room ready to finish decorating with his family. He hummed Breaking Free as he hung the red metallic bulbs on the three while his mom hung up the green metallic ones and his dad hung up the silver metallic ones. After they finished with the bulbs they put on, they put their garland up and then the candy canes on.

"Troy would you like to put the star on?" Lucille asked her son.

"Sure thing momma." Troy told his mom with a smile before we went up the latter and put the star on the top of the tree.


(Sharpay's and Ryan's house)

"Wow, the tree looks beautiful!" Sharpay's and Ryan's mom, Derby Anne Evans, exclaimed.

"Yes, and this year the angel isn't crocked on it," Their father, Vance Kyle Evans, stated with a smile.

"You're right," Derby said with a smile.


(Zeke's House)

"Son can you put up the rest of the garland while I answer the phone?" Zeke's father, Ryan Dustin Baylor, asked his son.

"Sure dad," Zeke said to his dad with a smile.

"Thanks son," Ryan told his son with a fatherly smile.

"Zeke, sweetie, how do these taste?" Zeke mom, Molly Anne Baylor, asked her son with a cookie ice cream bar in her hand.

Zeke took a bite and said to his mom with a smile, "That's so good! You perfected it mom!"

"Thanks sweetie, its only cause you told me I needed more vanilla." Molly told her son, kissing his cheek.


(Martha's House)

"DUSTIN ALLEN COX!" Martha's mom, Lynn Marie Cox, yelled at her husband.

"Yes dear?" Dustin asked his wife.

"All you need to do is put the angel on top and then our beautiful tree is done!" Lynn told her husband as Martha agreed looking up from her math book.

"Yes dear," Dustin told his wife kissing her cheek and then kissing the top of his daughter's head.


(Jason's House)

"Jason come put the star on the tree!" Jason's mom, Joshua "Josh" Allen Cross told his son with a smile.

"Coming," Jason said, after he got done tickling his mom, Kelly Marie Cross.


(Kelsi's House)

"Kelsi! Jasmine! Rock, paper, scissors, to see who gets to put the angel on top of the tree," Kelsi's father, Jacob "Jake" Lay Nielsen, told his two daughters, Kelsi and 14-year-old Jasmine Isabella Nielsen.

"No need. Daddy, since Kay-Kay probably won't be here next year to decorate the tree with us so she can do it," Jasmine told her parents and Kelsi with a loving smile.

"Aw! Thanks, Jazz, that's so sweet of you," Kelsi told her sister with a smile.

Kelsi took the angel from her mom and climbed up on the latter to put the angel on the top of the tree.


(Chad's House)

"CHAD NICHOLAS DANFORTH! STOP STUFFING YOUR FACE AND PUT THE STAR ON THE TOP OF THE TREE!" Vanessa Anne Danforth yelled at her son who was spraying cheese in his mouth as her husband Kyle Adam Danforth laughed at his son.


(Taylor's House)

"Taylor, since your sister put the star on top last year. Its your turn," Taylor's mom, June Lynn McKessie, told her daughter with a smile handing Taylor the beautiful star tree topper.

"Alright." Taylor said as she climbed up on the latter, after she put the star on the tree, she slipped coming down the latter, only to have her dad catch her. Smiling Taylor said, "Thanks dad. You're my hero."

"Good catch Bryan," June told her husband, Bryan Kyle McKessie with a smile.

"Catch of the day!" Bryan told his wife.

When it turned pitch black outside, all you could see in the windows of each living room of each Wildcat family, were beautifully decorated Christmas trees, that resembled each family in their own special way. Celebrated by the beautiful Christmas trees.
