Chapter 2:

"I've heard of Christmas. People talk about it on my blog, and ask me questions like, Are you going to decorate, or what do you want. We get stuff?" says Fang, putting his arm around me.

"No, no, no, feather face, you're going to wash up. Go take a shower," I say, and point down the hallway. He gets up, and kisses me out of spite, getting peanut butter, whipped cream, and feathers all over my lips.

"Mrs. Feather Face, Nudge would be happy to talk now," jokes Iggy, hand gesturing for Nudge to talk.

"Christmas is about giving, being happy, stuff like that. If we're gonna do it, we're gonna need everyone's help. I made a list of things we need to do," She says, taking out a sparkly flip notebook and feather pen. Typical Nudge. "Okay," she continues, "Things to do. One: Get a tree."

"We live in the forest, we can find any tree," says Gazzy.

"Alright then. But we need to pick it together. Two: Decorations," She says.

"There's a dollar store a couple miles down. They should have plenty of Christmas stuff," I reply.

"Three: Presents. Everyone must get a present for everyone else. Got it?" Nudge says, putting away her notebook.

"Don't forget the baking," Iggy says, walking into the kitchen.

"Let's split up. Get supplies and stuff. Iggy and Gazzy stay home and bake, and don't try to blow anything up, got me?" I threaten. They nod.

"Good. Rest of us can go to the stores and get decorations and gifts. Later we can go get a tree." I announce and go get my hoodie from my room.
