Just a side note I am not Christian so I have never celebrated Christmas before it was really hard for me to write this but Stephanie Meyer never really talk much about holidays so I wanted to write something about The Cullen's Christmas.
Chapter 7 Christmas
The whole house smelled like a pine tree. It covered the werewolf smell pretty well. This was my first Christmas away from my family and my first Christmas as a vampire. I asked Alice if we were even allowed in a church and she just laugh and said "Of course, getting stuck by lightning doesn't hurt." I found out later she was just being sarcastic. This new world made me really gullible if one day someone came up to me and told me I had to hide from evil leprechauns I would.
It was Christmas Eve and my family was back in Mass. eating a turkey, and watching It's a Beautiful Life on TV. I was here missing them. It was late and Nesse already when to sleep. She was the only one who slept and in the morning she would wake up to a house full of presents (much more present then the average kid). I could see over the last few weeks how the really were a family, a really happy family on top of that. After they put Renesmee to sleep Edward and Bella started take out all her gives and putting them under the massive pine tree that if it were in any other house would have taken all the room up. Alice had picked it out herself. She decorated the entire house as if it was Santa workshop. There was red and green everywhere. Little touches of holly and mistletoe all over the place.
Beside the pine smell the house smelled like food for the first time since I been here. Bella's parents had been here alone with here step brother and sister, and of course Jacob. It was the first time seeing him since my almost attack, I use the term see very loosely we were maybe a football field away from each other. I was coming back from hunting and he was going into the house. I want to apologies but they asked me to stay it the cabin until all human and werewolves had left the house. At first I was really lonely but every few hour someone would stop by and hang out with me. I guessed that that was one of the perks of such a big family. When Carlisle came by I asked him what they thought that everyone was doing when they came out here, he just told me "Charlie stopped asking questions years ago."
After they all left and I was allowed back inside Bella apologized for a good five minutes before I told her it was OK. And it was OK I got to know each of the Cullens better. I went up to my room and started thinking about my past and my future. "Amada can you come down stairs".
I hadn't even notice that it was morning yet. I saw wrapping paper spread all over the floor, like a little hurricane had just hit.
"So, Renesmee open her presents."
"Yes she really seemed to like them all, and now it your turn." Esme said as she moved too reveal a big box behind her.
"What do you mean?" why was she giving me a present.
"Well, we thought that this would be a really difficult time for you so we have just a few gifts for you." She gave me the sweetest smile.
"Thank you Esme you didn't have to."
I walk the big box, and unwrapped the paper slowly. Inside the box was an acoustic guitar.
"How did you know I played, I never said anything…wait Edward." I guess his whole mind reading thing did come in handy because until this point it had just been really annoying. I really missed play my guitar and writing my music. And this was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. It was painted yellow (my favorite color) and had this amazing art work that had my name.
"Thank you it's amazing." And I meant it. Then Bella walked up to me very carefully and handed me a DVD it wasn't marked it just had a little bow on it.
"I did know what to get you so I just put myself in your shoe, I cant give you your family back but I can help you miss them a little less. " She walked to the TV and played the DVD.
It was my family they were shopping at our local mall. They where shopping and laughing. My sisters where walking arm and arm my nephews, Bronson and Alex were in a race. As I watched them shop I felt like I was there, I couldn't hear what they were saying but it seemed like happy thing. Then they met our mom at the food court and she was smiling too. I was so rapped up in the tape that when it ended I was lost in thoughts. They could be happy; they could have a nice Christmas. I felt lighter like seeing them smile let this huge weight off my shoulder.
"How d-d-did you do this?" I was so close to speechless the words were barely a whisper.
"I went to Lowell when I said I was going to see my mom. I just want you to see your family happy, I know it hard for you too see them on TV, and I just wanted you to know that they will be ok. They have each other."
"Thank you Bella this is best gift I have ever got."
