I can't believe it's already December. I stand on the window of my room looking at the snow falling slowly into the ground.

The snowflakes we hurrying up one after the other anxiously waiting to rest on earth next to each other making a thick layer of snow.

It was so beautiful. Like this beautiful white blanket could keep you safe, warm and also bring you joy and happiness.



At that moment I was feeling surprisingly happy for no reason. I guess this season would make everyone feel happy.

Thinking of this season... It's Christmas season! My favorite time of the year!

Me and my sister would always do something for this season. Cooking, decorating the Christmas tree, buying gifts. This whole thing would make us so happy. And I guess it still does.

Maybe I should do something for this year too. I mean, I can't be miserable the entire year. I could switch things up a little bit just for the occasion.

I get out of my room with a big smile on my face. All I could think was the Christmas decorations. The shiny decorations, the nutcrackers, the lights, the Christmas tree..

When I get downstairs I see Elena walking by, she sees me and stops.

"You seem very happy today miss Aurora. I am glad to see you smile. That smile brightens this entire house."-she says to me making my smile even bigger.

"Well it is the Christmas season after all."-I say to her.-"Oh and by the way, can I ask you a favor?"

"Of course, what is it that you want?"-she asks.

"I want to bring me all the lights and decorations you can find inside this house. I want to decorate a little bit for Christmas."-I say and see her entire face light up.

"Immediately. I will look for them in the attic myself. But they might be a little bit dusty. They haven't been used in a very long time."-she says and leaves.

It was okay, nothing could stop me from doing this one thing with happiness.

After some time the maids and the butler come with boxes full of ornaments and a huge Christmas tree.

I couldn't be happier. After such a long time I was finally letting go of my sadness and harsh past and finally embracing some happy moments I was creating myself.

"Okay time to decorate!"-I say and start opening the big boxes.

The staff was starting to decorate the house with the lights and the other decorations.

After this was done and I was done giving my suggestions it was time to do my favorite thing: decorating the tree.

I grab the first ornament from the box and put it on the tree. The best feeling ever. For many people this could be tiring or messy, but for me this is a beautiful and special thing. The joy and bonding this time gives people, families is so unique.

And with that I carry on decorating the tree...

1 hour later...

I was almost done decorating when I hear someone's voice:

"What on earth is this?!"

I turn around to see him with a confused look on his face.

"I am decorating the house."-I simply say and turn around. This would be even more fun than I have imagined.

"I can see that, but why?"-he asks me.

"Because it's Christmas season."-I reply trying to retain myself from laughing.

"We have stopped decorating a long time ago."-he says coldly.

"So I was told."-I say chuckling.

"Than why would you do that?"-he asks. Was he becoming bored from all this situation? Yes he was.

"Because it is time for a change. Besides who doesn't love Christmas?"-I say.

"Well there might be some people. What's the point? People are happy for some time, they forget their problems only to get back to them after New Years."-he says.

"Well at least they have a chance of letting go of them for a while, of having hope that the future will be better. Everyone deserves that."-I say leaving him speechless.

"Maybe you're right, maybe not. We don't know that."-he says. What was that thing I noticed in his voice? Defeat?

"I know I'm right. Mr Grinch."-I say smiling at him.

"Wait what did you just call me?"-he says looking angry. I burst out laughing.

"You're a mean one Mr Grinch."-I start singing.

"Real mature."-he says.

"You really are a heel You're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch."

"Really? I don't even look like him. I am way more handsome!"-he says acting like he was hurt.

"You're a monster, Mr. Grinch Your heart's an empty hole Your brain is full of spiders, you have garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!"

"Okay, Okay we get the message miss Happiness."-he says.

"So that means I can continue decorating the tree right?"-I say looking at him.

"I guess so. Besides you have already done the mess so what's the point of saying no anyway?"-he says.

I take an ornament from the box and his expression changes. He seemed different: like he was thinking of something nice.

"So many memories."-he says touching lightly the small Swarovski Chrystal reindeer.



"This was my favorite decoration as a kid."-he says admiring the small ornament.

"Well, then maybe you should put it there."-I say pointing at the tree.

"No, that's not a good idea."-he says.

"Yes it is."- I say encouraging him.

"Maybe a change is good."-he says taking the ornament and placing it on the tree.

After we were done it was time to put the angel on top of the tree. I grab it and decide to put it on top.

I wasn't wearing any heels and that wasn't helping. Slowly I reach out to put it on top and I do, but right after that I loose my balance and fall down.

Surprisingly it doesn't hurt. Then I realize he was holding me.

I open my eyes to meet his dark ones. His arms were holding me tight.

"So tell me what was that 'I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole' thing?"-he asks smirking.

"Well, in my defense you are the one touching me."-I say to him playfully.
