Markle: I still don't understand why we got the tree so late!

Sophie: Because then it will last longer!

Markle: But That doesn't make any sense!  We'll only have it up until New Year's Day!

Sophie: Well then we can plant it in the garden!

Markle: Whatever.

Sophie: Well anyway, who wants to kick the decorating off!?

Mononoke: Off of what?

Lynn: O think she means who wants to start it.

Mononoke: Oh, count me out.

Chihiro: I'll go.

Chihiro puts an ornament that's shaped like a bouquet of beautiful roses.

Sophie: That's a very lovely ornament Chihiro.

Chihiro: Thanks!  My dad gave it to me.

Lynn: I guess I'll go next.

Lynn puts an ornament up that is pretty much a giant golden ball.

Sophie: Very nice Lynn.

Then everyone just starts hanging up their ornaments.  Haku places an ornament that looks like a little paper crane on the tree, while Mononoke places one that looks like a giant deer on it. 

Then comes Hashitaka who hangs an elk on the tree, followed by Markle who puts a turnip ornament on which gets some looks from everyone else.  But they proceed to Howl who places a giant bird ornament on the tree. 

Finally they get to Sophie who places an airplane on a branch.  They all stand back to admire it.

Sophie: Well!  That looks quiet lovely!

Mononoke: I guess.

Hashitaka elbows Mononoke.

Mononoke: I mean, it looks good.

Calcifer: HANG ON!  I DIDN'T GET TO PUT ONE ON THE TREE!

Howl: Calcifer, you are literally made of fire!

Calcifer: Fine!  Then Markle?  Would you be SO kind as to put my ornament on the tree?

Markle walks up to Calcifer who nods toward the hearth where Markle notices a small ornament shaped like a heart.

Sophie: Oh Calcifer!  It's lovely!

Calcifer: Ya ya don't get all gushy on me Lady.

They all smile and sit together just staring at the tree.

Hey guys!  So I'm doing the same contest as last year!  Whoever can figure out what all the ornaments mean, gets to be in the next chapter!  But, it has to be the first person to answer.  I might do second and third place as well but I'll have to see!  Good luck!!
