From the song 'I Saw Three Ships'. And yes, I know it's a little late for Christmas. But I didn't want to rush too much.

And here's the answers to the scavenger hunt:

1) Mulan: okay so I just realized that this one was VERY unfair and I'm sorry. I had just watched Mulan for the billionith time so…. Anyway, it was actually in the author's note. The: and there's nothing you can do about it! You know how when Mulan goes into the water to bath and the short dude with the black eyes… Yow- don't know how to spell- says "I'm king of the rock and there's nothing you can do about it!" Sorry about that! It took me a minute to find it too….

2) Finding Nemo: Dory! But I didn't really count that as a reference because it was blatantly obvious. The 'just keep breathing' was one and the other was 'are you my conscience?' part. Remember how they're swimming and Dory starts the 'Just keep swimming' song? Then she forgets who she's swimming with so then she asks, 'who are you' then 'are you my conscience?'

3) Twilight Movie: yes, it was the fluorescents! 'It must be the fluorescent' from Edward about his eyes.

And then a reviewer brought up a great point! It is all a reference to the Twilight Book! Lol

And thanks so much to my reviewers!!

"Right now's not a good time to start a garden." She saw my confusion. "You were going to start the garden that you bought the seeds for in October. Don't start it now." she said.

I giggled, rolling my eyes. No matter how annoying she was, you gotta love Alice.

Chapter 36: Christmas Day in the Morning

Christmas. Finally.

We were going to have a party over at the Cullens. Well, as in me and the Cullens. My mom said she had something else to do. I felt bad for leaving her alone, it was Christmas after all. And we had gotten a lot closer. It wasn't exactly perfect between us, but it was better.

I had already had a dinner with my mom before she told me to get moving to the Cullen's. I told her she could come, but she shook her head. I smiled, kissing her on the cheek before skipping up to my room to get married.

All I knew was that we were going to exchange gifts. A Christmas dinner wasn't even included, which surprised me. Just because the Cullens didn't eat human food didn't mean that and I didn't. And they were having me over for Christmas.

I sighed. I pulled on my red dress that had a V-neck and went down to mid-thigh. I strapped my Jimmy Choo red heels on and then brushed my hair back. I quickly added a little mascara, lip gloss, then flew out the door, a red Chanel coat in hand.

The sooner I got to see Edward, the better. And this was only because Alice and Rosalie had dragged me shopping all of the week before. I didn't see how they could go to the mall for 5 days in a row and still find things to buy. They were crazy.

When I pulled up to the Cullen's driveway, I spotted eight snowmen. I laughed, stepping out to examine each one. It was such a human thing to do.

The first one was obviously Emmett, which you could tell by the snow that was packed onto the snowman's stick arms. I chuckled. It would be just like Emmett to do that.

The one next it was Rosalie, where a pair of strappy red heels had been sacrificed to stand in front of it. Next to that was Jasper, who had drawn a confederate flag onto his snowman's chest. Alice's was on his left, shorter than the rest with what looked to be like a real credit card in its stick hand. I leaned closer to examine it. It dated back to 1965. She still kept her old, expired credit cards? Freaky pixie.

Then I stopped. It was Edward. He had even placed green stones in for the eyes, from when he was human. I smiled sadly. How I'd love to see Edward human, breathing with his brilliant emerald eyes.

I was shocked to see me next to him. I had scarf around my neck, exactly like the one I had worn the first day I had met them. I smiled fondly at that memory. Alice must have bought two for me, after throwing out the one that had become water logged.

And I was standing next to Carlisle, who had the design of a doctor- a snake wrapped around a stick- embossed in his chest. He was even wearing the stethoscope around his neck. And lastly there was Esme, her hands crossed over her stomach. And what looked like to be paint colors in her hand. The one's that were in Home Depot that you could choose from. I laughed.

Each and every snowman was personalized for the Cullens. Then I felt a cool breath on my neck.

"Do you like them?" Edward's velvety breath asked.

I laughed, turning around. "Of course I do. I might even consider leaving you for the snowman Edward." I joked.

"Oh, but can snowman Edward do this?" he asked, leaning in to kiss me. I smiled against his lips, responding enthusiastically. My arms reached up behind his neck and his marble arms snaked around my waist. We only stopped when we heard someone whistle. Probably Emmett.

"Wow, if you guys keep doing that, then all the snow's going to melt!" Emmett's boisterous voice said behind us.

I frowned, turning to face him. Edward kept his arm around my waist, holding me close.

"Emmett, you know I love you like a brother, right? But sometimes you can be so damn annoying!" I seethed. This just set Emmet off on another round of laughter.

"I love you too little sis." He said smirking.

I sighed, taking Edward's hand in mine and lead him inside. I was excited to see what was planned.

"Hey mom." I said, nodding to Renee, Esme, and Rosalie. It was little weird, but they were all my moms. Rosalie took care of me, Esme was just plain motherly and took care of me, and Renee was my birth mom and recently started to take care of me. So now I had three moms.

They all nodded in response, knowing that I was talking to all of them.

"So, what's on the agenda for today?" I asked.

"Nothing." Everyone responded a little too quickly. I looked over at Emmett, expecting him to crack first.

"Well, you'll find out later Bella." I pouted. It was Christmas after all.

"Later Bella." And he smirked. He knew I hated surprises. And I had the feeling that I was going to be surprised.

-:-

We started with Emmett, who handed out his gifts to everyone, smiling from ear to ear. I didn't even want to know what he got Rosalie, his wife. Probably something inappropriate.

I had gotten a Lacrosse towel set from him, as a joke because I almost always ended up in the lake every time I went to the park. He was sure to remind me of this. But I couldn't refuse them because they were just so soft.

Alice was next. And I was scared. She would have probably gotten me something outrageously scary, like a dress fit for strippers, or a pair of 6 inch heels. I can do 3, sometimes 4 inch heels, but that was my limit.

I opened up my gift to see a pair of Manolo Blahnik heels staring up at him. 6 inches. I was going to die. I smiled weakly at Alice, who grinned smugly back at me. I hope she didn't expect me to be able to walk in them.

Edward gave me an emerald necklace set that I imagined would match his 'human eyes' perfectly. I smiled up at him, my eyes watering a little. It was such a nice gift. I kissed him on the cheek, whispering "thank you" in his ear. He seemed pleased.

Rosalie had dared to get me a red dress with a plunging neckline and no back. I was surprised because she was like my mom and the dressed seemed very… indecent. But I loved it anyway. It was so soft and silky.

Esme and Carlisle had gotten me, and everyone plane tickets. They were to Paris, France. And I was psyched. France was amazing.

Jasper had gotten me a beautiful music box. When you opened it, these glass elephants that stood on a mirror would spin around, their tusks were gold. The edges of the mirror were gold too. I smiled and looked up at Jasper. I loved it. He smiled and nodded.

I had given Alice car keys to a new Porsche, for which she was bouncing up and down, completely and totally excited. "Thank you Bella! Thank you thank you thank you!"

To Edward, I had given him concert tickets to go listen to a band he said he liked. But also a more sentimental gift- a diary from when I was in my freshman years. He seemed surprised to have been given such an intimate gift, but he was my other half and deserved to know everything and anything about me.

And then there was one last gift under their tree. It seemed to be a small box, addressed to me. I opened it and gasped. Car keys. They were from Renee and belonged to a Ferrari Enzo Coupe.

Silence. That soon exploded.

"Dude, that's a hot car!"

"Oh can I drive it?"

"Do you even know how to drive it?"

"Can I look under its hood?"

"Yes Emmett, I know how to drive it. And yes, I know that it's a 'hot car'. And yes Alice you can drive it. And yes, Rosalie, you can look under its hood.

Now…. What were we planning on doing?" I asked them. And then they all smiled. At the same time. This couldn't be good.

"Snowboarding!"

I groaned. What a great way to spend Christmas day, falling off a snowboard in freezing cold weather onto wet snow. Not that I had anything against snow. But if you fell every two seconds from standing on a snowboard, you'd hate it too. And my balance on a snowboard, well, let's just say it sucked. Great.

So, 1,519 without the any author's notes!! and to make up for my mistake from last chapter, I made chapter 40, which I just completed last night, a little over 2,000 words! My longest chapter (I think...) yet!!

A preview for my next chapter: Snowboarding

"Edwarrrrrrrrd! How do you stop this thing?!" I screamed. I wanted to stop. I needed to stop if I was going to leave in one piece.

And then I saw it. A cliff.

she might have better balance than the Bella in Twilight, but snowboarding is still too much for her! lol

So, PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW!!

I've updated a whole day earlier than I thought possible! lol
