"Harry, do we think we have enough food?" I ask looking down at the counter that is littered with all kinds of food. I hear him chuckle from the couch, "Win babe there is plenty of food. You realize it's just us and our friends right?" I look up at him and furrow my eyebrows. He is right, but this is the first time that everyone is over at my apartment and it's Christmas eve.

I let out a sigh, "you're right I know I'm sorry. I just want it to be perfect. I am never in the country for Christmas so this is all new to me." I drag my feet towards him and plop myself next to Harry on the couch. I bury my head into his side. "Winnie babe it's okay. Listen, everything is perfect. You have the place littered with decorations and presents. You made us incredible food," I look up to him and take in all of his words, "and if it helps I have never been in Boston for Christmas." He smiles and I can't help but to giggle.

I was supposed to be in Italy for Christmas like usual but Harry had told me that he wasn't planning on going back to England. So I decided that I was going to bring him along until my mom called me. She informed me not to come because her and my dad will be in Greece.

I love it when I find things out two weeks before leaving.

The good thing is that Kaley doesn't go home for Christmas since she goes back for Thanksgiving and Delilah never does anything for Christmas. Harry invited Kid, who is bringing his girlfriend. The fun thing about tonight is this is the first time Kaley is meeting Harry.

I met Kid the day before their fall break when I came and surprised Harry on lunch. After that Harry just included me in on his plans with Kid. So not only is he Harry's friend but now also mine. I will never admit it out loud but it's kind of nice having more than one friend that I consecutively hang out with.

"Now do you think Kaley will like me?" I nod, "yes she will love you I promise. Now will Kid's girlfriend like me?" Harry nods, just like I did a moment prior. "Yes she will love you and you will love her but she can't make it because she had other plans." Harry leans down and kisses the top of my head. We went back to watching the movie that Harry had playing which was Home Alone.

I love Christmas, it's my favorite holiday. It's a time of giving and helping, such a joyous time. Christmas was always so special growing up in Italy. It still is but now that I am in Boston, it just makes me wish I had a family of my own. A family where I can shower them with love and laughter , a family where they can be whoever they want to be. I want what my parents gave me. I come from a big family and though I am an only child I was so close to my cousins, still am. So I want a big family because I have found that family can be the one thing in the world that keeps you grounded.

We both sat cuddled on the couch watching the rest of the movie. After that I decided that it was time to shower and get ready for tonight's festivities. "I am going to shower now." I say before I pat my hand against Harry's thigh. I get up from the couch and make my way to my room. "Hey Win I am going down to mine so that I can grab that wine for tonight." Harry says loud enough for me to hear. I yell back okay before I turn on a random Christmas playlist for my shower.

After I get out of my shower I do my skincare and makeup before I go to my closet to pick out an outfit. I landed on a cream sweater and basic black trousers. Something basic but cute since we aren't going anywhere and just staying in.
