December 3rd:

-Harper's Point Of View-
     Tony drops the last box down onto the floor and I hear some things bump against each other inside.
I sit down on the floor next to Hazel and open up the boxes. Pine garlands, strings of lights, a few ornaments. "Good things we bought lots more decorations yesterday." Hazel says. "You guys are telling me this isn't enough? This is all I ever use to decorate with!" Hazel and I smile at each other. "There's some great stuff in here," Tony says, while picking up one of the 3 boxes, "look we've got a....broken ornament.....look a nice candle.....and a dead mouse." I quick stand up. "Are you serious!?" Hazel says. "Geez, no, im kidding." He says laughing.
Rosie and Emerson walk down the steps with the bags of decorations we bought yesterday. "Let's do the tree first." Hazel says pointing to the tree that stands in front of the big window. We invited everyone to come decorate with us, but only a few wanted to. Wanda, Bucky, Hazel's parents, Peter, Tony, Pepper, My dad, and soon my mom. She's driving to the tower right now, and should be here any minute.
Clint and Bucky secure the tree in the tree stand while we pull the decorations out of the bag.
"Ooo, candy canes." Hazel says, as she pulls one out of the box and sticks in her mouth. "Hazel those are for the tree." Rosie says. "Those are for the tree," Hazel says, pointing to the ones in the box, "this one, is for my mouth."
I pull out the boxes of color coordinated ornaments. We decided to use red and silver ornaments.
"I call putting the star on the top." Hazel says as the pulls the silver star out of the bag.
"I made some cookies yesterday while you were all gone getting the tree." Pepper says as she walks into the room, carrying a tray of gingerbread men.

Natasha wraps the last string of lights around the tree and plugs them in. "Is that the last ornament?" Bucky asks. "Yup." Chase says as he hangs it on the tree. Everyone stands back to look at it. "One more thing." Hazel says. She walks back to the seemingly empty bag, and pulls out the silver star for the top. "This." She says.
She stands on her tip toes to reach the top of the tree, but falls a tad short. "Here." Emerson says, and walks over to her. Hazel jumps up on his back and sets the star on the top.

     "Perfect

"Perfect." She says planting her feet back on the ground. "Now for the rest of the decorations." I say opening one of Tony's boxes. I pull out tinsel garlands. Lots of them.
Rosie comes over and helps me hang them around the fireplace underneath the TV. Emerson brings over the stockings and attaches them to the garlands.
'And the stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that Saint Nick, soon would be there.'
