The snow fell from the sky as I walked into the school, meeting up with the others. I was in one of Tyler's hoodies. It was white hoodie that I had paired with black skinny jeans and some Ugg boots with a white beanie and a light blue and white scarf wrapped around my neck. I was beyond freezing and it was worse because I'm also anemic. "You got enough layers?" Tyler questioned, wrapping his arm around my shoulder. "No" I replied, immediately pressing against him for warmth. He smiled down at me and we walked to class.

After school I headed to my house with Tyler. Jaeyoon was back in Korea to spend the holidays with his family and my parents weren't going to be home for the holidays due to work. My mom was taking a bunch of holiday photoshoots with big celebrities and she was in such high demand, she wouldn't be able to come back home. My dad worked for some big name company and had to travel for long periods of time. I'd be spending the holidays all by myself. Of course, I had the others but they were going to be spending it with their families. I laid on my bed with a sigh. "Something wrong?" Tyler asked, taking a seat next to me. I rolled over onto my back. "I think it's just so quiet in the house now, I'm spending all month by myself, I just think it'll feel so empty" I stated. He ran his hands through my hair. "What if...me and the others stayed with you over the break?" he suggested. "I couldn't do that, you guys have family to spend it with" I sat up. "Plus, I know your mom hasn't been feeling well, I don't want you away from her when she really needs you" I added. His eyes widened before softening. "I could stay here over night and spend time with my family during the day" he replied. "I just said I don't want you away from your family, besides, you hardly ever leave Taylors side, if something were to happen, I know you'd want to be there" I turned my body to face him, now having one leg on my bed. Tyler grabbed me by my waist and pulled me into his lap. "Like I said, we could all stay here with you, I'm sure the others would be okay with it, Ben and the psycho's parents won't be in town either, I'm sure the adults wouldn't want you to be here all alone, I especially don't want you to be here alone especially when Baron lives right down the street" Tyler's nose touched mine. I knew he wouldn't let this go. I sighed. "Fine, I will ask" I gave in. He grinned before placing a kiss on my lips. I felt my back hit the bed as he now laid on top of me. We cuddled for hours, my hands running through his hair. His eyes fluttered shut and he was out. I smiled at the boy who's head laid on my chest. My hand stopped moving and I too closed my eyes and fell asleep.

Aiden snacked on popcorn as we all sat in my living room. We were watching some Christmas movie classics, A Christmas Story, The Grinch and of course The Nightmare Before Christmas. The oven went off as the cookies finished baking. I got up from the couch and took them out, setting them on the counter. Aiden was drooling at the scent. "Wait a few minutes and then you can eat them" I smiled. I went back to cuddling with Tyler. We had all gotten matching Nightmare Before Christmas pj bottoms and some comfy white shirts to pair with them. With everything that was going on in our lives, I think it was good for us to still be able to have fun like this and actually enjoy our time together when we weren't being surrounded and chased by phantoms. Tyler wrapped his arm around my shoulder as I snuggled into him.

I laughed as my snowball hit Aiden in the face. We were having a snowball fight in the front yard. We all laughed and had a good time. I snuck up behind Tyler and placed some snow in the back of his hoodie. He jumped and screamed before turning around. "Oh, you've done it now" he smirked and began chasing me. I screamed as I ran, apologizing and begging for mercy. It was stupid of me to think that I could outrun a baseball player. He grabbed me and picked me up. I laughed and begged for him to stop as he attacked my sides in tickles as a punishment. I gasped for air as he didn't stop. Eventually, he felt that I had had enough and I was able to get some air into my lungs. After spending some more time outside, we headed inside and made some hot chocolate, spending our time watching tv and playing games.

"Okay, this is the last one" I placed a present in front of Tyler. We each had gotten everyone a present. I had gotten Ashlyn a pair of new ballet shoes, Aiden some roller blades, Ben some new high end earbuds, Logan an astronomy book, Taylor a dress and Tyler a signed baseball bat. We all opened our presents, thanking and hugging each other. Afterwards we emptied our stockings and after that, we ate breakfast and watched some more movies. After a while, we went to Ashlyn's house to have a Christmas dinner. Tyler and I were wearing matching red and white Christmas sweaters. We ate and chatted with everyone and Tyler left to go do something. "Hey, Rosie?" I heard the boy call. "Yeah?" I replied. "Could you come here for a moment?" He asked. "Sure" I answered, getting up from my seat. I walked down the hall and was pulled aside. It was Tyler. "What did you need?" I questioned. "This" he leaned in and kissed me. I kissed him back and when we broke away, he smirked. "Why do I have the feeling there's a mistletoe above us?" I then looked up and I was right. "I don't remember that being there" I looked back at Tyler. "I don't know what you're talking about" he turned his blushing face away from me. I laughed and kissed his cheek. "Merry Christmas, Tyler" I smiled. "Merry Christmas to you too, Rosie."
