It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

The Rose Cottage was alive with activity as four teenage girls ran about the house, preparing for the upcoming event.Melanie, a short girl with long strawberry-blonde hair and bright green eyes, was covering the kitchen in tinsel, she hummed merrily as she hung silver tinsel up around the door, or tried to at least.Realising quickly she wouldn't be able to reach on her own (and refusing to get help), she grabbed a chair from the table and knelt on it, granting her the few needed inches."Hey Mel, have you seen my cookbook?" a blonde girl asked from the other door that had yet to be covered in tinsel."Over there," Melanie grunted, waving at the shelf covered in red tinsel with small pointy leaves.Melanie had picked it as a joke since the leaves had the same name as her friend. "Holly, is this lined up okay?"Holly turned with a critical look in her greeny-brown eyes."It needs dropping on the left." Holly said, hugging a dusty brown book while Melanie adjusted the tinsel accordingl

Jingle Bells

It had been half an hour since Melanie and Lydia left, the former claiming to have an idea regarding their broken decorations."They can't be that much longer." Sapphire said, tossing her mug between her hands on the table, hot chocolate long finished as they waited in the kitchen.Holly had taken a red flower from the vase, Poinsettia, and was playing with it, she heaved a bored sigh and, flower still in hand, took the mugs to the sink."You're right!" the blonde said suddenly, turning toward the living room when she was done rinsing the mugs. "Let's get set up, in case anything else is broke."Sapphire followed her sister and they started going through the box; putting tinsel, baubles and other stuff into piles on the couch.Sapphire pulled out a small bell with a red bow on top, she went to put it with the other bells, when she noticed this one, unlike the others, had metal inside.She gave it a small jingle, giggling like a child when the sound rang throughout the room, Holly chuc

Rocking Around the Christmas Tree

Lydia stared at the mess of tinsel on the floor before turning to the sisters."I'll... take care of that." Holly said, sitting on the floor by the fire and getting to work."Are we really going to need all that?" Sapphire huffed at Lydia's criticism and started putting most of the tree decorations back in the box."Done." Holly announced a few minutes later just as Sapphire and Lydia finished sorting the rest of the decorations into more reasonable amounts.Holly had the three lengths of pink tinsel layed out on the floor and was staring at the two girls expectantly.Sapphire sighed and held a hand out.Holly gave her a piece of tinsel and stood up, Lydia staring up at the tree with her hands on hips, now that they were decorating it, the tree felt bigger, she jumped as tinsel was pushed into her hand."One each," Holly explained while Sapphire struggled to get hers high enough, instead of climbing like Melanie though, she held the tinsel up, then let go, instead of falling though, i

Oh Holy Night

"Holly! I'm back!" Sapphire called as she stepped into the house.There was no response other than the sound of Christmas music, and the smell of homemade treats.Sapphire poked her head in the kitchen, the table was covered in trays of mince pies, gingerbread men, Christmas pudding, and Holly was in the middle of taking bunloaves out of the oven."Hi Saph," Holly greeted as she put the fruit loaves on the side and took off her oven mitts.It always amazed Sapphire how Holly could bake so much in just a few hours. She used to think Holly used magic, but the blonde insisted she didn't."Did you remember the icing?" Holly asked, hands on hips as she surveyed her hard work."Of course." Sapphire said, holding up her bag. "I wouldn't forget the only thing you let me do."Every year she'd come home to find Holly having finished all the baking, they agreed Sapphire would get to do the decorating, though their mother hadn't approved since Sapphire didn't leave the table until everything was

Mistletoe and Wine

Patrisha was bored, out of her mind bored stiff.Her best friend Emilie had a new board game they were going to play together with some of Holly's mince pies and bunloaf.The treats had always gone down well, and they'd only known each other for two years.'Feels longer.' she thought, staring out the window, it was such a beautiful day and she was stuck inside learning about dead people! No offense to people who liked that kind of thing (or the people who were dead), but unless she ever took an interest, she'd never really need to know about it."Trisha, can you answer this question?" the teacher asked with a pointed look.Patrisha quickly read the question on the board and tried to think of the answer, then shook her head with a sigh of defeat."Pay attention." the teacher ordered while her classmates laughed.--------When the final bell rang, Patrisha was out the door like her very life depended on it.Emilie threw her books in her bag and ran after her."Are you okay?" Emilie aske

White Christmas

Trisha shivered as she left school, Emilie giving her a worried look."It's so cold!" Trisha complained, rubbing her arms despite the gloves and numerous layers."We'll be at Holly's house soon." Emilie tried to reassure, but the red head wasn't listening, instead staring at the darkening clouds."It's getting dark faster," Emilie said. "We should hurry.""Wait," Trisha said, pointing at the sky where small white flakes were falling. "It's snowing..."Emilie took her pink glove off and held her hand out, drifting snow gathered and grew to form a large snowflake, which she gave to Trisha."Oh! Uh, th-thanks." Trisha said after spending a moment just staring in awe. "I want to show everyone, before it melts." she announced suddenly, running off to the blonde's house.Emilie chuckled and followed.--------"Look Holly, it's snowing." Melanie pointed out.The two had been needed by their teachers and decided to walk home together."Trisha loves snow, she always talks about wanting to pres

Frosty the Snowman

It was freezing when Trisha woke up the next morning, snuggled up in bed with an empty cup that was her attempt at Holly's hot chocolate sat on her bedside.She yawned, her breath misting as she got out of bed and opened the curtains. The windows had iced over, making it hard to see.She shivered as she got her slippers and coat on and ran downstairs.Trisha threw the door open, ignoring the cold blast of air, and stared at the winter wonderland in awe."Wow...!" she breathed.Trisha stepped outside, breath thick in the air as she ran around excitedly."Wow..." Lydia agreed from the door, startling the red head."Were you there the whole time?" Trisha demanded.Lydia just shrugged and put her hands in her pockets, the vision of nonchalance, it reminded Trisha of how Lydia used to be. "You should change if you're going to play in the snow."Trisha huffed and eyed Lydia's red pajamas and winter boots. "You're one to talk."Lydia shrugged again and Trisha realised she was shivering."I'm

Somewhere Only We Know

Holly, Melanie and Lydia were getting the bus, none of them liked buses, preferring to either walk or use magic as a form of travel.Today they didn't have a choice as they went to the airport; not exactly in walking distance.They were going to pick up Ann, Lydia and Melanie's best friend before she moved to Ireland."What's she like?" Holly asked, being the only one of the three to have never officially met Ann."Like you." Lydia answered vaguely.Melanie burst out laughing."She's blonde," Melanie corrected.Holly blinked in confusion."She used to be in our class," Lydia said. "She always had her hair in a bun.""I don't know." Holly shrugged, then paused. "Wait, you were the popular girl, I saw a blonde girl around you a lot, at least before you and Lydia met.""We met when we were little," Melanie giggled. "We're cousins."Holly just waved her off."We're here." Lydia said.Holly and Melanie stood up, the latter almost falling due to the sudden stop."Thanks." Melanie waved to t

Last Christmas

"Have you ever heard of a Secret Santa?" Trisha asked.Everyone was at the Rose Cottage as usual, Trisha had brought Snakes and Ladders which they were all playing."I have," Lydia said. "Everyone gets a present, then they're given to a random person, usually in a group.""Wouldn't you recognise the writing?" Melanie asked. "When you sign it?""You don't sign it." Lydia explained.Melanie just blinked in confusion."I want to do it this year." Trisha announced."I have an idea," Holly said. "I'll make everyone jumpers, and we can just pick one wrapped up."Trisha blinked. "Jumpers?"Holly nodded. "I'll do them all the same size, and I won't sign them.""Sounds great!" Emilie beamed."Makes one for Ann too." Melanie ordered."Hm..." Holly began counting on her fingers. 'Me, Saph, Melanie and Lydia, Trisha, Emilie... and Ann.' she blinked. "Seven.""Is that okay?" Trisha asked sadly, as though expecting Holly to change her mind.Holly just smiled. "Give me a week."Trisha perked up exci

Run Run Rudolph

Holly and Lydia were sat together in a small cafe; It was narrow with about ten tables per side, in two long lines."Ann took me to Santa's Grotto yesterday." Holly said while stirring her tea, letting go and watching the plastic spoon spin in the cup."I know," Lydia chuckled, putting ketchup on her cheesy toastie, Holly never liked the idea and just kept her toastie plain."Ann took Melanie last year, when she visited in Ireland," Lydia shrugged. "She only realised the next day Santa was her ex.""Melanie has a boyfriend?!" Holly cried.Lydia raised an eyebrow."Had." she corrected, biting into her toast and getting covered in ketchup.Holly gave her a napkin."He didn't want a long distance relationship when we moved, then he started dating a girl from our old school." Lydia sighed. "Everyone thought him and Mel would get married someday.""She loved him?" Holly asked, sipping her tea."Still does." Lydia smiled sadly."How could he pull off being Santa?" Holly asked."He's one of
