The Way Things Work

Chapter Seventy Seven

It had been almost two weeks since you had gotten back and everything was going amazingly well. You only had about two months until the wedding but most of that preparation was done. You had booked the sight and gotten the dress, you made out the invitations and picked the menus. You couldn't wait, you were finally going to marry Harry. Your focus had been momentarily switched off of the wedding though, as you and Harry were going to host Christmas. You were having Harry's family, the Tomlinsons, the Maliks, and Niall, Liam, Danielle and Perrie. It was going to be busy and all but you were quite excited, it was going to be your first big Christmas ever. 

"Babe?" 

"Yeah?" You called from the bedroom where you were getting ready. 

"Have you ever had a Christmas tree?" 

"Of course! It's been a while though." You sighed. 

"How long?" He asked as he walked into the room next to you. 

"Almost five years I guess." 

"That's a long time, do you want one again?" 

"Well yeah but-" 

"Say no more, we are going to get a tree." He smiled as he wrapped his arms around you. 

"Are you sure you want one?" 

"Never had a Christmas without one, I even have a box of ornements in storage." He quickly looked down. "That sounds so stupid doesn't it?" 

"I think it's cute, let's go." You smiled as you urged him out the door. Finally, a new tradition for you. 

You and Harry literally walked around for hours and couldn't find a decent tree, he wanted it to be perfect although you didn't care. Eventually you headed back to the car and made a quick stop at a department store where you bought a fake tree, it was easier anyways. 

"Okay, so do the lights start at the bottom or the top?" Harry looked at you. 

"I said it's been five years, I thought you always had one?" You laughed. 

"Well usually I have Louis help me." 

"Okay, so we can start our new tradition off by figuring out the lighting sequence." 

"Alright than, let's have a go." He smiled before you started off.
