The Memories We Made (ON HOLD)

December 24, 2002

Felicity's POV
5: 57pm
Today is Christmas Eve! My mom is hosting a Christmas Party for all of the neighbours. And throughout the house, I could smell FOOOD!

"Mum, I don't want to wear this dress!" I whined as she zipped the back of the dress up.

It was a long sleeve, red lace dress that went up to my knees and had one little green with white bow on the hip area of the dress.

"Sweetie, you look beautiful!" she gasped in astonishment as she turned me around to face her.

"Thanks Mum," I wearily smiled at her," but, why do I have to wear this?"

"This is a party and everyone is here to exchange gifts with each other, eat and just have fun, Sweetie," she explained," you have to look pretty!"

I took a brief pause then spoke up,
"Ugh, fine," I whined, "this is for you so, you owe me, for all I know I could be dressing like a hobo now but, I'm here wearing this for you."

"Thanks Honey!" she cheered kissing me on the cheek and running out my bedroom door,"I have to get ready, everyone will be here soon" she explained shutting my door.

"okay..." I sighed and sat in my bed and took out a book. The Series of Unfortunate Events: Book 7

10 minutes later

*ding dong*
the loud ring of our doorbell was moved throughout the house followed by knocking.
"Sweetie, can you get the door?" my mom yelled from somewhere in the house,"I'm still changing so tell them I'll been down in a few minutes"

"Okay!" I yelled back and jumped off my bed and headed down the stairs to open the front door.

Our house was nicely decorated with red and green streamers along the ceiling, cut out paper snowflakes stuck into the walls while some hung on the ceiling, too. And in the living room was the best part, there stood a big Christmas tree with ornaments of red and gold that were nicely placed into it, sadly the top was bare. Mum said that at the end of the party, the families will place a ornament from there home into ours and a child will be picked to place the star on top after everyone is here.

I opened my front door to find the Herison family smiling big at me.

"Hello, Fewicity!" their youngest daughter, Marcy called out who was 4 years old.

"Hi Marce," I waved at her smiling, she is so sweet,"Hello guys, come in!" I mumbled while moving aside for the rest of the family to come in.

"Yum, smells good," Mr Herison said, "Merry Christmas guys!"

"Merry Christmas!" I replied," my mom will be down soon..." and walked into the kitchen to get food... hehe.

After a while my mother came down and all the adults talked and I was left to answer the door if anyone comes.

The families that came over were...
-The Bensons- the family that lives across the street from our house.
-The Fernando Family- the family that lives on our left
-Haley and George Heifer- the married couple that lives on our right. And many other. Lastly was The Granders, Will's Family.

I opened the door of the house and was shot by the loud roar of The Granders yelling,"MERRY CHRISTMAS FELICITY!!"

The Granders were a happy, loud bunch. That made them fun. Thats what I loved about them, they were just like Will.

I stepped back and smiled," Merry Christmas everybody, come on in!"

"Hey Licity!" Will said as he walked in,"Merry Christmas!"
