Tris's POV:

I wake up on Christmas morning snuggled up in the blankets on my bed. My clock says 9:00 and I jump up suddenly full of energy when I remember I have presents to hand out. I grab my blue bathrobe and fuzzy white slippers and race down the stairs. Everyone is already gathered in the living room by the tree. It is a good thing I have a huge living room because I am just realizing how many people are staying at my house over Christmas break. Zeke, Tobias, Uriah, Will, Christina, Marlene, Shauna, Lynn, Caleb, Nick, James, my mom and I are all currently living in the same house.

"Good morning sleeping beauty," Zeke says. "Nice to see you decide to join the world of the living so we can all exchange gifts now."

I just roll my eyes and plop down on Tobias's lap. James and Nick start to grab the presents from under the tree and hand them out. I wait to open mine so I can watch Tobias open the gift I got him. When he lifts the top off the box his eyes go wide. Tobias pulls out a golden watch and tries it on. Then he puts the box on the coffee table and kisses my cheek.

"Thank you Tris," he whispers. "I love it and I love you."

I kiss the tip of his nose and he smiles that handsome smile of his. After every last present was opened, and the floor was littered with wrapping paper and boxes I have a lot of new clothes, CDs, gift cards, and jewelry. My brothers and mom clean up the living room while everybody else marches up to their rooms with their gifts and changes into comfortable clothes to go outside in.

Once I am dressed and all my presents are put away I skip out to the backyard where all of my friends are standing in the cool air chatting. The pearl white snow is glistening in the sunshine and I can smell the pine trees covered in snow. I am listening to the peaceful chirping of a bluebird when I jump in surprise from a snowball that just hit me square in the back. I whirl around and see Tobias grinning like an idiot tossing a snowball high in the air and catching it.

"Oh its on!" I think as I reach deep into the ground and make a fistful of snow.

Unfortunately for me Tobias sees this coming and ducks when I chuck my snowball at him. Instead it hits Zeke in the back of the head.

"Beatrice Prior you are going to regret doing that!" Zeke shouts while making a snowball of his own.

Oops.

Soon enough a huge snowball fight had started. At first it was just a free for all. Snow was flying in all directions. Then the girls teamed up against the boys. We ran to take cover in some pine trees at the edge of the woods and formulated a plan.

"We need a battle strategy and quick," Christina whispers.

"We should all charge out at the same time with a handful of snowballs each and pelt them," says Lynn.

"Good idea," I agree. "They are only making one snowball at a time and it will surprise them."

We all agree and each make a handful of snowballs.

"Alright, on three," Shauna whisper shouts. "One, two, three."

"Ahhhhhh!"

Shauna, Marlene, Lynn, Christina and I all sprint out of the woods pelting the boys with snowballs.

They try to throw some back but they can't build a snowball without getting hit with a whole bunch of them. Finally they give up and run towards the house.

"Take cover!" Will yells at the top of his lungs.

We chase the boys back to the house. When we get inside we are all panting and dripping wet from the snow.

"Do not come any farther into this household until you are dry!" my mother shouts from the dining room where she is working on a puzzle I got her.

We all take off our hats, gloves, boots and snow pants, and leave them on the porch outside. After that everyone goes to their rooms and changes into cleaner less sweaty clothes. I make hot cocoa for everyone while they go downstairs to the movie theater and pick out a Christmas movie. When I get to the theater I pass out the hot cocoa and we watch Home Alone. Home Alone is one of my favorite movies of all time.

As the credits are rolling at the end of the movie I stand up to stretch. Tobias has already gotten out of his seat and is standing in the doorway. I walk over to him and wrap my arms around his waist with my head laying on his chest. We stand like that for awhile, the others are deep in conversation, until Christina comes over and whispers so that only Tobias and I can hear.

"Look up you two."

Then she walks away and I look up at the ceiling to see mistletoe. Tobias smiles at me and before I can say anything he is kissing me. I kiss back and then I hear Uriah shout, "get a room!"

"Gladly!" Tobias retorts.

Then we all start laughing and it is these moments I wish I could just freeze and live in forever.
