i laugh at my notes at the sides of the list and sigh. this is a list i made almost four years ago, and now here i am, standing in front of some store, willing to complete "my perfect christmas" for the first time.

it's december second and some stores already have christmas decorations. i will not be my friend's shame as i always am. this year i want to have a cute christmas house and spend a cute christmas day in it watching cute christmas films. and well, moulin rouge too, i am way too obsessed with that photo and i don't even try to hide it.

as i walk into the store, the heat reaches my cold body. i smile a bit, starting to feel warm and being happy about it. this is a really cold place and i hate coldness, i guess i should have thought of it before moving here.

i look around and smile as i see a shelve full of christmas lights. when i reach them i analyse every little box until a worker comes to help me. he has honey hair, not too long but definitely not short and beautiful greeny eyes. he smiles at me and asks if i need any help "oh yes please" not only because i have no idea about christmas lights, but also because i have no idea about anything.

"tell me" he says with a sweet smile.

"okay, so, i'm new in this country and i have nobody to steal decorations from, so i need to buy some and i honestly feel so lost. i have this list of things i need to have this year. maybe you could help me?" i smile trying to be as sweet as him.

he looks at me and i hand him the list. he looks at it "i'm sorry but we only have the lights here" he says, but he doesn't stop reading the list "but i think i can help you with almost everything." a cute boyfriend, i remember. i blush and look away "yeah, the tv and the deer thing may give me some trouble."

i blush even more deeply and smile a bit, glad that he hasn't mentioned the boyfriend thing. "how can you help me if you are not selling that stuff yet?" i ask, genuinely curious.

"i have three more friends that will love to help me helping you." i chuckle and smile wide.

he probably doesn't even know how important this is for me. since i don't know anyone here, and i probably won't meet someone at the end of this month, all i have left is decorations and films. "thank you so much" i say sincerely.

"but until i talk with them, i could help you with your lights, miss" i can hear the jokingly tone in his voice and i roll my eyes.

"that would be awesome."

he chooses some lights that he says i might like and then it hits me "wait. you sell lights but you don't sell any tree? like artificial or anything?" i laugh.

"we do, but they are horrible and ugly, if you want it to be your perfect christmas, all of it has to be amazing." he answers and i actually laugh, thanking him with a smirk "and you should give me your number, so i can contact you when i talk with my friends."

"that'd be awesome" i say and i give him my number.

i pay and when i'm back at my car, y add "friends" to my list, even if it's almost impossible to have friends in christmas suddenly after having been here for almost half a year.
