Christmas Time

-Oh,  awful, what are we going to do there are just a few days till Christmas. - said Noriin
-We need to decorate the Christmas tree this Saturday - said Adelin-and to decorate outside. Before Mitko and Jolina were helping but now they are not here. We need to do it alone.
-I wish we could buy a real tree and not artificial - Noriin started dreaming.
-We have in the garden-smiled Adelin
-But I want one at home.
In  a few days they started decorating. They brought the Christmas tree from the roof, the toys and the lapms. Everywhere there was a Christmas mood. It was snowing again.

-Why today as its snowing outside to decorate. - Noriin was confused
-Today we are decorating everywhere. Let's take the ladder. - Adelin run to the door
-Wait to take the lamps as well I will come also.
Outside it was snowing peaceful on the trees. One white and calm silence. Adelin covered her with her long scarf. She looked in the distance. It was nice. The snowflakes were flying around her as soft feathers.
-I am ringing the ladder. - Noriin ran outsede.
They wrapped some boxes and took out toys and lamps. Adelin climb on the ladder. Noriin was giving her the toys from down.
-Let's go faster because we will freeze
-Only the lamps are missing - Adelin smiled - I will  leave for  you to put the star on top and we are ready.
Outside it was snowing heavier and both decide to enter at home. The weather was getting colder. Everything at home was decorated. The Christmas tree was shining. Over the fireplace was decorated. Only last to decorate the windows as well.
-Bring the ladder. - Adelin screened and took a garland I her hand.
-Just a moment. Why should we hurry?
-Only here last-Adelin took one garland and wrap it around the curtains. - Hold the ladder stronger.
-Of couse I am holding it. - Said confident Norrin.
Suddenly Adelin drop a garland on the head of Noriin.
-Noriin you really look like a Christmas tree. - smiled Adelin
-Of course I am not.
Suddenly both listen. Outside there were noises. Both went by the curtains.
It was the day before Christmas Eve. They were expecting Mitko and Suzanne to arrive from Germany. Their father went to take them from the airport. At home it was going high preparation with cooking. Adelin and Norrin were filling  peppers and tinsel. Their mother was making baklava and their grandmother was kneading  the bread for Christmas Eve. They were boiling  oshav and putting lucky peaces in the bread.  Their grandfather went to the market to buy meat for the next day for Christmas. Someone rang on the door. Mitko and Suzanne entered and left their suitcases.
-You are again late. You are coming when we finished everything.  - Noriin was angry.
-Will you not come to welcome me? - Ask her Mitko.
Noriin run and hug her brother. She was happy to see him. She meet Suzanne. Adelin came as well and they shaked hands.
-Oh. How I will speak with Suzanne as I don't know German and Spanish - got confused Noriin
-Don't warry - said Mitko - she knows as well English.
Suzanne was very nice girl. She grew up in Venezuela. But after that she moved to live in Germany with her parents.
-Look what I brought you. Christmas cookies from Germany. - her brother gave them to her.
- I adore  them. - Noriin smiled.
Two hours later they were preparing the Christmas cookies for the next day. Adelin and Noriin decorated  them. Their brother took one.
-Noriin pulled his hand. Today's its eaten only lean.
-Eh, you.
-Its not possible today. - add Adelin
The cookies became  were beautifully. Colourful. Now everything was ready they were just expecting Jolina and Mihail to come for dinner.
-Oh, when will they come? - Noriin was impatient.
-Maybe there was a delay of the flights, don't warry - Adelin said - but inside she was hoping to be nothing bad.
-It's ringing - Noriin shouted - Maybe they are,
-Who is it?-Adelin asked lookin at her sister
Noriin went out and opened the door. There were a man and a woman, looking cold. Some unknown people.
They asked if this was the house of family Georgievi, that they were looking for.
-No, it not that - said Noriin
-You have a mistake, their house is two streets across. At the darkness the houses were not so  visible.
-Oh, when will come Jolina and Mihail. We are getting hungry. It will finish Christmas Eve. - Noriin was impatient and nervous.
Adelin went and put a small wood in the fireplace. The room was glowing, the lamps on the Christmas tree and some chandeliers.
-I suggest to put on some Christmas songs. - Adelin went and find the music disc
She just wanted to think about something else. To move their mind in a different direction.
Noriin was looking at the clock. The minutes were passing. Suddenly they heared steps and voices next to the door.
-Are we not too late. - whispered Jolina
Misho rang on the bell.
-Surprise-Norrin appeared on the door and went to hug them.
-Welcome. - Adelin came ans was happy to see her sister.
-We finally came for Christmas - smiled Jolina
She was happy to be again at home by her family. She liked to be independent, to have her own life but always the heart tooks her back at home. The place where she grew up, she has many memories in that house. That was the place she was anytime welcomed.  She was missing the time she was little chield. Not the girl forced in her ambition  to achieve goals as she was at the moment. For her to reach  tops was the main goal in her life, this was bringing her happiness. But how mant things she was loosing. She was not spending enough time with her family. After work she was tired and goes directly to the house where she lives. Mihail was supporting her despite of her wishes. For a moment she thought she did not see often her family and bacame sad.
-Ah, it's so beautiful decorated - she started looking at the decoration
-Well, we put effort - add Noriin trying to look modest
Everyone sit at the table. They start long conversations and lough. They were again the whole family together. Now with more members. It was necessary to bring more chairs. Adelin was thinking. In that moments life was wonderful.
