Alex got the house ready and I got some last-minute shopping done.
Rosalie went to her store and Restaurant and helped them clean up.
Emery calls Alex and is stuck in the snow.
"Hey, Alex! Can you help me?"
"Where are you at?"
"Not exactly sure. I don't pay attention to the signs just my routes."
"Can you at least send me the coordinates?"
"Sure!"
She sent them and he drives down.
"Come on car." She says to herself.
Alex comes and helps shovel her out.
"Thank you!" She tells Alex and drives home.
She meets Alex at his house and she is shivering cold so he carries her in and locks her door and Jürgen brings her stuff in.
Alex turns on the fireplace and helps Emery get warm and he prepares dinner.
Emery sleeps
"Jürgen, I am so glad she is back. I missed her."
"Me too Alex! Hey, you two should come to our Christmas party tonight."
"Alright!"
Emery got ready and looked formally for the Christmas party.
Alex's mouth dropped.
"Emery you look amazing!"
"Thank you!"
Emery is ready for the party and they spent a lot of time dancing with Jürgen, Rosalie, Renny, Penelope, Claire and some of Rosalie's friends.
Alex twirls Emery and they dance like somebody else is there.
Karen comes by and brings Emery a toast and poisons her drink. Though she just dumps it in the grass not wanting to be fooled.
"Nice try mother." She mumbled to herself.
"What's wrong?"
"Um my mother gave me a drink and I tested it with some object to see if it was poisonous and she was trying to poison me."
"No offense, but your mother is psycho."
"Tell me about it."
"So are you excited that Christmas Eve is tomorrow?"
"Yeah actually! My family and I would always do a white elephant gift exchange where we put all these presents in the middle and we would do that the night before Christmas. Then my father would tell the night they were preparing to have me."
"Wow! Seems very interesting. Oh, there is a new one I kind of don't do."
"What is it?"
"I hate the mistletoe tradition."
"Why?"
"It was bad memories with Thomas and since then I haven't kissed anyone under the mistletoe."
"Oh, you mean like this?" He says and dipped Emery under the mistletoe and kissed her.
"So what about now. What are your thoughts?"
"Well, it was different than I remembered."
"Good!"
"Alright, everyone time for the Christmas costume contest."
"Yes! As for the current contestants, we have Alex and Emery dressed like the Nutcracker and the ballerina."
"Finally we have Jürgen dressed as the mouse king and Rosalie dressed like a soldier."
"Now our winners are Alex and Emery. Congratulations you both get a gift card to Target."
They claimed their prices and a ballet performance of the nutcracker started to take place.
Emery rested her shoulder against Alex as they watched. He put his arm around her.
*Maybe Christmas will be better? Surely better than none before.* Emery thought
