Marinette sits on the sofa admiring the Christmas tree that was decorated beautifully with lovely glass ornaments, shining twinkle lights and tinsel with a shining golden star on top of the tree with little presents under it and stockings neatly hung in a row. Marinette's stocking was soft pink with her name stitched in thw white faux fur with pearly pink thread. Tikki pops out of Marinette's stocking with a little holly that was worn on her little head making her look so cute. "You have such a pretty Christmas tree, Marinette." Says the little ladybug kwami. "Thank you Tikki, my dad picked out the tree." Said Marinette as Tikki flew over to her.
"Marinette." The teen hears the voice of her mother and tells for Tikki to hide somewhere in the Christmas tree where she won't be found. "Hi mom." Marinette says seeing her mother, Sabine. "Marinette, the family is coming over to spend Christmas and we will be throwing a party on Christmas Eve and there is something special that I want you to wear for this year." Sabine takes her daughter's hand taking her to her and Tom's bedroom towards the closet opening the two doors to take out a traditional long red Chinese dress with lovely gold embroidery designs.
"Marinette, this dress belonged to me when I was your age and it was gifted to me by my mother, your grandmother and now, it'll be your turn to wear on Christmas Eve." The dark blue haired girl holds the dress up to her by a nearby mirror to get a better look and saw her reflection as she holds Sabine's dress up to her body. "I know that you will look beautiful in it." Her mom then shows her a photograph of herself with her side of the family wearing the dress and had lovely hair acessories too. "Thank you mom and I'll try the dress on." Sabine brings her daughter in for a loving hug.
Up in her room, Marinette inspects the dress in all its vintage and traditional beauty. She gently traces her hand on the silk fabric over the golden embroidery. The teen tries it on and it looked very beautiful on her.
Marinette reaches for her hairbrush and undoes both her pigtails letting her dark blue hair down and begins to brush it with her locks gliding through the hairbrush and Tikki appears and looks amazed at her miraculous holder's appearance.
"Tikki, there you are." The little red kwami flies over to her. "Marinette, you look so very pretty." She says admiring her appearance. "You really think so?" She nods looking at Marinette's mirror reflection. "Yes, and your dress is very pretty too."
"This isn't really mine, it belongs to my mom and she says I should wear this for the party on Christmas Eve." Tikki nods in agreement in awe of her holder's beauty. "I think you should and you look even prettier with your hair down." Said Tikki."Marinette, you should try one of the Christmas treats I already baked." She hear's her father's voice immediately changing out of her mother's dress and into a more warmer and comfier look which was a sweater and long warm pants going downstairs to find her father, Tom with freshly baked cookies, cakes and other holiday pastry treats. "Just like when you used to be so little." He says to his daughter remembering when she was younger trying to help him bake the treats but made a very big mess. He still had the pictures of him and his daughter making Christmassy pastry treats together as they both got together like old times and Tom showing her the different frosting piping tips to try on the cakes and cookies.
