Chapter 11: Christmas Time
Leah could not believe it. It was almost Christmas. It would her's and Ethan's first together. She has been making Christmas goodies since like the first day of December. They also decorated a little bit and Ethan has even let Leah put up some mistletoe. They were to spend Christmas Day at Ethan's parents house. Thei sisters were going to visit family.
"Ethan, can you come in here?" Leah asked from the kitchen. Ethan walked in.
"Yes, my Leah?" He asked.
"Try this." Leah said having him eat a cookie.
"It is good." Ethan said.
"Are you just saying that to make me happy or is it really that good." Leah asked.
"Leah, you know I do not lie." Ethan said and "You have made some good cookies."
She kissed him and went back to making cookies. Ethan sat at the table and talked with her.
That night. Leah dressed for bed. Ethan didn't come up so Leah went downstairs. She found Ethan downstairs, in the living room, looking outside.
"Aren't you coming upstairs to bed?" Leah asked.
"Yes, but then I saw the snow falling." Ethan replied pointing outside.
"Wow, it is pretty." Leah said walkin closer.
"I will be up soon." Ethan said.
"Ok. Do not stay up to late." Leah said kissing him goodnight. She walks upstairs and goes to bed. Ethan comes up after awhile.
Leah sat in the living room, working on Ethan's present.
"Leah, this came for you." Ethan said holding a package. He handed to her. On the top it said Leah Longacre. She ripes it open to reveil a small maroon box. She opens it to reveil a gold hair pin with a ruby on it.
"Oh my. It is so beautiful." Leah said.
"It is. Who is it from?" Ethan asked.
"My mother." Leah said reading the paper.
"She must have spent a fonture on it." Ethan said.
"She has the money." Leah said.
"We must send her something." Ethan said.
"Like what?" Leah asked.
"You could make her something." Ethan suggested.
"I can send her the first cross-stitch I made. She would love it." Leah said standing up.
"Yes." Ethan said.
"A mother always loves something her child made." Leah said and "I will go find it." Leah walks upstairs to find her cross-stitch.
Christmas Day. Ethan and Leah are riding over to his parents house to exchange gifts and have Christmas dinner. They carry in their gifts and say hello to everybody.
"Merry Christmas, Leah." Charity said and "I like your dress." Leah was wearing a dark red dress and her hair pin.
"Thank you Charity." Leah said smiling at her and goes over to Tillie and said "Mrs. Longacre. I brought some of my Christmas goodies. I have cookies, pretzels, and fudge." Setting a plater on the counter.
"Thank you, dear Leah. I will set them out and everyone can try them." Tillie said.
"What exactly happens today?" Leah asked. It was her first Amish Christmas and she didn't know what was to happen.
"Well, we first sit down to eat our dinner, then after all the dishes are cleared away and cleaned, we will exchange gifts and thank everyone." Tillie tried to explain.
"Mmm, it sounds good." Leah said.
They eat and clean the dishes. Then they go into the living room to exchange gifts.
When it was Ethan's turn. He opened all but Leah's gift.
"Now here's mine." Leah said handing him her's. He opened it to reveil a shirt.
"Leah, this is a very nice shirt." Ethan said and "Thank you." He kissed her.
"You missed the best part." Leah said. She unfolded it and showed him what was on the pocket. His name.
"Leah, I have no idea what to say." Ethan said.
"Then don't say anything. Just wear it." Leah said.
P.S. What da ya Think? I know it's short, but lately, I've been having writers block, so if my chapters start to suck for awhile, that's why.
