Dear Edward,
Christmas was better than Thanksgiving. I bought everyone a gift, even you. I gave Alice a sketch book with premade models for her designs and Emmett got a new game. I found a perfect little set of kitchen towels for Esme, and a calligraphy set for Carlisle. I got Charlie a new flannel shirt, since he had worn out a couple of the other ones. I was going to get you a book of blank sheet music for your composing, but then I saw a Christmas ornament that reminded me of you, a small crystal music note. I got both.
I got gifts too, but none of them were very exciting. Alice got me a new dress, for the party no doubt, and Emmett installed a stereo into my truck. Your parents gave me plane tickets to see my mother, but I don't know if I could leave. Charlie gave me a book, but I haven't started reading it. I keep remembering the nights where I would lay in bed reading, and you would hum my lullaby until I fell asleep. Without you there it just isn't the same.
Alice has decided that there will be a party, and that it's mandatory- at least, for me. I don't know how Esme approved of this, but for some reason she did. Alice invited most of the school, not limiting herself to the students. She also told me that everyone was allowed to bring a guest. It doesn't matter how many people are there, though. I'm still going to feel alone.
I love you.
Bella
