Dear Journal,

Hello again, LOL XD! Long time no write, been busy. Melody here and school is out! YEAH! We had Christmas party and OMG Theodore ate the most and he lost his lunch if you people don't know that expression Simon will gladly tell you personally. When the boys and I got home we were sugar high so we decided to play are old school Game Cube. We were playing Mario Racing Double Dash and Alvin was playing that stupid flower and personally what kind of flower wears Speedo swimsuits for its clothes? Alvin also had Mario, which is too obvious. Simon had Toad and Donkey Kong, and Theodore, YOU'LL LOVE THIS! He was playing as Birdo and Peach! WOW! I picked my personal favorite, Paratroopa and Bowser JR (which is the best combination for playing this game) but get this, Theodore WON FIRST PLACE! If that isn't creepy, then I don't know what else is. Tomorrow is Christmas shopping, see you then.

Sincerely,

Melody

"Theodore, quick question." Alvin said.

"Yes Alvin." Theodore replied.

"How in the heck did you win?"

"I don't remember."

"I do." Simon said butting in. "Theodore cheated using the good car."

"I didn't cheat." Theodore said.

"Guys be quiet." Melody said. Melody turned the page.

Dear Melody's Journal,

Simon here with an update, only recently today, Alvin, Melody, Dave, Theodore, and I went Christmas shopping. Well, anyways, Santa was there and we went and got in line. Before Alvin will write about my public humiliation, I will confess this; I kind of freaked out when I sat on Santa's lap. I never do that, I don't know what made me do that. I feel so humiliated. Well, Melody kind of rescued me by approaching Santa and sitting on his lap with me. I stopped screaming when Melody came, but still, when I was screaming every kid in the store saw me, I just hope nobody I knew recognized me. Thank you Melody, you are the best sister and I hope you read this sometime later in life when were older. I'm not writing what I got anyone for Christmas because I'm too afraid, A-L-V-I-N will look and see.

Sincerely,

Simon

"Oh that was hilarious." Alvin silently giggled. "You looked like a 4-year old."

"Alvin, shut up." Melody said. "Simon, it was really nothing. I just, I felt the same way before. I used to be scared."

"Thanks Melody." Simon said. "Because you saved me that year, I have not been like that since then."

"My entry's next." Theodore said turning the page.

Dear Melody's Journal,

Hey, it's been a while. 6 days till Christmas. I'm so excited I can hardly wait. Today, we made cookies. Chocolate chip, sugar, peanut butter, and much more. I just can't wait till Christmas. I really want this blender for Christmas, but when I asked Dave today, he said, "Absolutely not. It's too dangerous." Dangerous, what can be dangerous about a blender? Anyways, I told Alvin and he laughed in my face and said, "In your dreams, even if you get the blender. You're too stupid to know how to use it." How rude. Then I asked Simon and he just nodded his head and said, "Ugh-huh…oh yeah…I'm sure." Maybe I shouldn't have told him while he was doing his Christmas home work. Then I approached Melody and told her what I wanted and she told me this, "Maybe Santa will bring it to you. I mean, you did tell him at the mall yesterday. Don't worry about it." Melody always has the right words to cheer me up. Unlike Alvin, but let's not go there.

From Your Pal,

Theodore

P.S. I'm crossing my fingers.

P.S.S for Alvin to get coal, I mean for me to get the blender.

"Love the ending Theodore." Melody giggled. "It sounds like something I would write."

"Thanks Melody." Melody looked at Alvin who was silent.

"Alvin, it was a joke." Simon groaned. "Do you have to take it personally?"

"Let's just read my entry." Alvin finally spoke.

Dear journal in which I have to write in,

5 days till Christmas, I can't wait! But do you want to know what I hate about Christmas, Christmas cards that's what! I'm sorry to break this to you, but they're so dumb. I mean it's just a bunch of written words about what is happening or just recently happened in our household on a piece of paper. I just have to say this, if people really were my friends and family they would already know all of this already, so what's the point? A memory refresher? I DON'T THINK SO! Plus, Christmas cards are usually tossed once they're gotten or just get laughed at for spelling errors or the usage of words. There was this one Christmas card that our family received last year and of course Melody got to hear this story for the first time today. This Christmas card was 3 pages long, yes 3 pages long! The wording was so intellectual only Simon could read it and then he had to translate it. This was the letter from are intellectual cousins. So Theodore got all crazed about sending are Christmas cards out to the family and I just sat there and told them. Are intellectual cousins will look at it and call it amateur writing. I could just see them reading it saying that our Christmas card is amateur written. Then I went on and on with this saying that the rules for a perfect Christmas card in our intellectual cousin's book. Number 1, it has to be 3 pages long. Number 2, it has to be written formally using gigantic words. Number 3, it has to have at least 20 lines a paragraph. Simon smirked at the joke even Theodore starting cracking up. Melody was laughing so hard she couldn't breathe (because it's true) until Dave came in and we immediately stopped laughing. The last reason why I hate Christmas cards is when you're a chipmunk, you have a lot of relatives and not to mention you have your other relatives of the Seville family. That makes like around 150-250 cards. Sheesh.

Your 'A' man,

Alvin

"I remember that." Melody giggled.

"Dang, we should have done a 3 page Christmas card just for our cousins." Theodore sighed. "It would have been funny."

"Speaking of Christmas cards, I thought you liked them Alvin?" Simon asked.

"Secretly, I don't Simon." Alvin replied. "I always had a thing against them."

"That would be because you gave yourself so many paper cuts that year when you were trying to put them in envelopes, Alvin. Plus, you don't hate ALL of them just the one's you don't understand" Melody said.

"Okay I admit that." Alvin said. "But still, a 3 page Christmas card? Really?"

"Now I agree with that. I do agree Christmas cards should only be 1 page long and not that many big words." Simon said. "When we got that card, It took me a while to figure out the translation."

"Next page." Theodore said.

One more Chapter to go. It's good trust me the last chapter will be heart warming.
