Seasons Greetings

"Mail's here!" Jasper said as he trudged into the living room, his hair matted with snow.

Carlisle, Esme, and Edward all looked up from their spot on the couch. Emmett and Alice just nodded in acknowledgment, not shifting their eyes away from the action movie they were watching, while Rosalie simply asked "Anything for me?"

Jasper siphoned through the pile before replying, "Your monthly issue of Cosmo is in."

He tossed it to her, watching as she tore it out of its confines and began reading it immediately.

Shaking his head, Jasper looked back at the pile.

"Let's see here," He began picking up the top envelope. "Esme, it looks like you've got a letter from Carmen and Eleazar."

"Oh! I wonder how they're doing. It's been so long since we've seen them. Kate, Irina, and Tanya really should come down to visit. I'm sure Edward would love to see them, Tanya especially."

Edward glowered at her, crossing his arms over his chest.

Rosalie chuckled slightly from behind her magazine as Jasper continued.

"Well, these two are for Alice." He said, setting down the boxes that he had been holding under his arm.

"Oh! My online dress orders are in!" She squealed, rushing over to grab them.

"Don't you shop enough in malls as it is?" Emmett questioned, now thoroughly distracted from the movie as well. "Do you really need to shop online too?"

"Of course!"

"We have a Tiffany's catalogue here, for…" Jasper trailed off. "There's no name on it."

"Probably Rose's." Emmett commented.

"It's not mine." The blonde said, still refusing to tear her gaze away from her book.

"Alice? Did you order this as well?" Esme wondered.

"Nope. I'd prefer just to go to the store." Alice chimed.

"Uh, actually that would be mine." Edward piped up, reaching for the catalogue. "I want to get Bella something special for Christmas."

"She'll just make you take it back." Alice stated.

"Or so you say."

"Or so I see."

"Your visions can change, Alice."

"Rarely."

"Okay, I don't mean to interrupt or anything, but I've still got mail to give out." Jasper pointed out.

Edward and Alice took to a staring contest.

"For Emmett, we've got Monster Truck Weekly."

"Score!" Emmett exclaimed as he pumped his fist.

"Oh, this one's for me." Jasper stuffed an envelope into his pocket swiftly, obviously not wanting anyone to see who it was from. "And this is for you, Carlisle." He said as he passed his father the last letter.

"Who's it from?" Carlisle asked, staring at he place where a return address should have been.

"Beat's me."

"So, what are you waiting for? Open it!" Emmett persisted.

Tearing open the envelope, Carlisle pulled out a glittery Christmas card.

"Have a joyous holiday season," He read aloud before opening it up. A pile of snowflake confetti fell into his lap. "Wishing you the best this Christmas, Cullens. Please, drop by sometime and we'll have a nice cup of blood. We miss you all down here in Volterra. Much love, Aro and the Volturi."

A stunned silence followed as everyone looked at Carlisle.

"Well, that was nice of them to send us a card." He said after a moment, shrugging as he placed it on the coffee table.

"That was nice of him." Esme sighed.

"That was weird." Rosalie noted.

"Weird? Morel like mental." Emmett added.

"Odd beyond compare." Alice put in.

"Mad as a hatter." Jasper chipped in.

"Dad," Edward began, staring at his father. "That man scares me."
