"We got another one!" Jasper shouted from the foyer. They had been coming in piles over the last week…Christmas cards. He walked into the living room and took a seat next to me on the sofa, holding up the card for me to see. It was decorated simply, but elegantly, with a golden tree on the front. On the inside, it read, "Merry Christmas! We miss you all! Expecting a visit soon, happy holidays!" it was signed in golden script by Charlie and most of the wolves, with the exception of Jake, but of course, he was in Avoca with us. After studying the card, I had an idea—a light bulb above the head worthy idea! We should send out a Christmas card—it wasn't too late.

"Jazz! Jazz! Jazz! I have a greaaat idea!" I said 'great' similarly to that big tiger in the cereal commercials…

"Me too!" He practically shouted

"Christmas cards!" we screamed in unison, too loud. Everyone came rushing down the stairs to see what was happening.

"That would be a great idea…" Esme clapped her hands together enthusiastically. So it was settled—surprisingly, it was our first holiday card. We decided on a picture card pretty quickly.

"Okay, ready?" the photographer was Edward, standing behind his camera, ready to rush into the frame before the flash went off. It was harder than I thought it would be to fit us all in one frame, actually…but not too bad. Bella held a giggling Renesmee, I sat in Jasper's lap, and Emmett and Rose squished into the corner of the picture. Edward rushed into the scene, and the picture was taken…Edward walked back over to the large professional camera.

"Okay…oh, come on! Guys! Don't!" Edward groaned. By 'guys', he met Emmett and Rose, who just shrugged.

"No bunny ears this time!" Edward shouted, and they laughed. The old bunny ears behind each other's heads…so childish, but oddly amusing…Edward again pressed the glossy black button, taking the picture. Again, as I expected, Edward wasn't pleased.

"Stop! Guys, do you want a holiday card, or not?" We all nodded yes. I walked over behind the tripod to see the issue. Emmett and Rose were "crying" in the picture, while everyone else looked perfect.

"Okay, last time…and, 1…2…3!" the bright flash went off. I hoped this one would be good…

It took another three hours to get a half decent picture…surprise surprise…sometimes it was an odd face from one of us, Renesmee yawning or blinking…but it was mostly Emmett and Rose—dancing, kissing, wearing sunglasses, or my personal favorite, throwing things at the camera. Eventually, however, the picture turned out okay. We looked happy, and normal enough. So this would go on the card we sent out.

"I'll go have this made into a card…" Bella said, grabbing the photo from Edward, who followed her to the door. I knew this was a good idea! I started on a list of friends to send the cards to…before I got a vision, a very vivid one. It was Bella, Edward, and I, at this post office in town—looking quite horrified. We stared each other, seeming paler than usual, even though I don't think that's possible. Then, to my relief, we erupted into a fit of giggles. And it ended there. When I finally finished my list, adding the twentieth, and last, recipient, Bella and Edward walked through the double front doors.

"Ready to go to the post office to send these?" Bella asked, fanning the cards out for me to see. I looked quickly—they had chosen excellent coloring. Merry Christmas from the Cullens was writing across the bottom in script. I didn't look at the picture close enough…

There was a collective sigh from the three of us as we gathered the envelopes together for the last time. The postal office was bustling with activity today, others sending Christmas cards, probably. It seemed early, but gifts were being sent as well, small and large. It was rather picturesque…and another vision came to me. I saw an image of the card, up close. Looking over the picture, I noticed. Why didn't we see before we sent them?! Edward heard my thoughts, and grimaced. Poor Bella didn't know what was going on. She stared at us both, confused.

"Why didn't we check that better?" I moaned

"I have no idea. Emmett and Rose spent hours 'having fun' with this shot…why would they have stopped?" Edward sighed.

"What was in the picture?!" Bella hissed, annoyed that she wasn't in on our conversation.

"Emmett and Rose…giving the camera the finger…obscene gestures at Christmas…" Edward started off, slowly collapsing into laughter. My vision had come true, as usual.

"We'll have to reshoot it…" we were silent for a few moments

"Nah…people need an interesting holiday season…" and we sent them.

Ah…my family…gotta love em'
