It was a week before Christmas. Eira had Stefan and Damon go pick out a tree. They complied because Eira's mood was slowly getting better. She was getting into the holiday spirit and she smiled a lot.

While they got the tree, Eira went shopping with Rebekah for the ornaments to decorate the tree and also to get gifts for people. When Eira got home, she found the tree in the living room, just laying on the floor.

Eira set her bags down and her brothers came into the living room. She looked at them, "Why is it just laying on the floor?"

"I told you we should've put the tree up," Stefan scolded Damon which made Eira look directly at Damon.

Damon held his hands up in surrender, "I'm sorry. You said to get the tree. We got the tree."

Eira shook her head and she looked at the tree. Stefan walked over to the tree and pointedly looked at Damon, "We'll put the tree up."

Damon came over and helped Stefan. They each held one side and lifted it so it stood upright. They carried it to the tree stand and put the tree stump into it. Then they screwed in the bolts at the bottom to make the tree stay in place.

"There," Damon stated, wiping off the green leaflets. "All done."

"That's fine. I can decorate it myself. Watch this," Eira stated, excitedly.

Eira went over to one of the bags of decorations. She grabbed a star that went on the top of the tree. She walked over to the tree and she held the star out to one of the tree branches. The tree branches moved, grabbing a hold of the star and passing it up to the next branch until it got to the top, where that branch rested the star.

"Wow," Damon wore a look of disbelief. "Christmas trees will never be the same in my mind again."

Eira laughed and Stefan just nodded along with Damon, agreeing with him. Her brothers eventually left the room and Eira decorated the tree, well more like the tree decorated itself.

Once the tree was completely decorated, Eira smiled, proud of herself and of the tree. She took the empty bags and threw them away while she took the bags with gifts upstairs to her room.

It was Christmas morning. Eira woke up bright and early in the morning. She took a shower and got dressed, rushing down the stairs. She went into the kitchen where she made herself some hot chocolate. Stefan had introduced it to her the night before, Christmas Eve. She was in love with hot chocolate or anything chocolate.

Eira went into the living room and her brothers slowly entered the room, looking tired. Eira had put an alarm clock in their room the day before without them knowing, so they got a rude awakening.
