Violet loved Christmas, it was her favorite holiday. She adored the decorations, the music, the festive spirit, and the food. But the part she liked the most was spending time with her family. By family she meant her chosen family, not the ones she was biologically related to. She was always grateful that she got to spend Christmas with her friends next door, always grateful they let her in and welcomed her into their family. They had always been so kind and sweet to her, never once making her feel like an outsider or unwelcome.
It might be surprising that she loves Christmas so much because her parents are neglectful and rarely contact her while they're away, but that's precisely why the Fuller house became her refuge. They made her feel included, cherished, and loved, everything her own family failed to do. Violet does have other family, but they all didn't live in the same town, so it was hard for them to visit often, which was the reason she spent Christmas with the Fullers. And it was one of the best parts of the holidays. Her grandparents and aunts and uncles always send her cards and come visit her when they could. They would have their Christmas before actual Christmas, since her grandparents and aunts and uncles couldn't visit during actual Christmas.
Her family hated the fact her parents were so neglectful, they had always done their best to be there for her and try to knock some sense into her parents, but their efforts were useless. It wasn't like her parents would actually listen or care, they didn't care about much besides their work and themselves. Violet had thought they might try a little harder since it was Christmas. It was a holiday that was supposed to bring everyone together, but even then her parents didn't even bother. Though she wasn't really surprised, it did make her sad and it did hurt. It was the one day a year where her parents were supposed to be home, but they weren't, of course.
That didn't stop her from decorating her house with Christmas decorations. Decorating was one of her favorite things to do when Christmas rolled around. She had a whole section in her closet dedicated to her Christmas decorations. She loved adorning her house with twinkling lights, colorful ornaments, tinsel, wreaths, and stockings. Her favorite part was decorating the tree. It was a fake Christmas tree, she never had a real one, but that didn't bother her. She even had a mini tree in her bedroom, it was pink with twinkle lights and she decorated it with a variety of colorful ornaments.
The last few weeks had been so busy and chaotic that Violet didn't have time to decorate. But once everything had settled and the chaos had died down, she finally had a chance. And she decided to take that opportunity and decorated her house, which was the reason she was currently sitting on the floor surrounded by Christmas decorations, with the radio on and her playlist of Christmas songs playing. She currently wore her Marvel Christmas themed pjs and Christmas themed slippers. Her brunette hair was pulled up in a messy bun and her brown eyes were focused on stringing popcorn to add to the garland she was making. It was a lot harder than she remembered it being. She was too busy trying to concentrate on her task that she hadn't heard a knock on the door or the door being opened.
