The night of Winter 23…

Today is the totally fabulous and absolutely beautiful Winter 23, so you know what that means! CAROLING! I tried very hard to convince Vaults to join me. I had to beg on my knees, bribe him, beg him on my knees some more, ignore him until he said he would come, and some other crazy stuff. My hard work didn't go without a reward though! Vaults ended up agreeing to go with me, and now I'm trying to pick out a cute Christmas outfit out for him.

"Do you have any red or green in your wardrobe?" I asked.

"I'm sorry if I never thought that I was going to be caroling when I bought clothes." I groaned and dug into his suitcase further. Black, brown, black, brown, black, brown…wow what a colorful wardrobe he has. I had finally reached the bottom of the suitcase, and of course his only dark red shirt had to be there.

"Finally! You are wearing this!" I threw it at him and he shrugged.

"Whatever." He grabbed some dark jeans and went into the bathroom. While he was not prepared, I was. Last Christmas my brother and I hosted our own Christmas party, and he dressed up like Santa and me in a female Santa suit. So I know what I'm wearing! I quickly slipped into the dress and some other stuff and Vaults came out.

"Ok, lets go!" he nodded slightly and we walked out, "Lets go to Natalie's house first!"

"I'm not singing by the way." Oh yes he is.

"Oh yes you are! What was the point of coming if you aren't going to sing?" I asked him.

"The point was to get you to stop begging me." Well now I shall beg him to sing, I'm not doing this alone! I dropped to my knees.

"PLEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!" I begged.

"No."

"At least talk the words. It took me all day to teach you the song!" It did…that boy has terrible memory. He still has to use the paper for some spots in Jingle Bells.

"Fine, but don't expect me to be loud like you." He said.

"I'M NOT LOUD!" Oops…maybe I shouldn't have shouted that. Anyway, we came up to Natalie's house and I knocked on the door. Natalie answered it and looked like she was about to roll on the floor laughing. She told her mother and grandfather to come to the door and they all stared at us.

"Dashing through the snow, in a one horse open sleigh. O'er the fields we go laughing all the way! Bells on bobtails ring, making spirits bright. What fun it is to laugh and sing a sleighing song tonight!" I sang while Vaults quietly mumbled the words.

"OK OK STOP I CAN'T TAKE IT!" Natalie started cracking up.

"What is so funny?" I nearly shouted.

"You two look like idiots! Especially you Vaults!" I sighed and we walked off, "I'M SORRY!" Natalie shouted as we walked off. The rest of the night basically went like that. We'd knock on the door, one person would answer, call over everyone else, we would sing, they would laugh, and we would walk off. I was lucky that Vaults stuck with me the whole night. When I asked him why he said it was because he couldn't bare the thought of me being laughed at alone when he could help. I told him he was too sweet, and that moment ended up being the only good one of the night. Oh well, there is always next year!
