       Mrs.Weasley asked me to help put up the Christmas decorations, it was the one thing we didn't use magic for.
She claimed that it tarnished the holiday spirit, and that it makes you feel warm inside putting decorations in their place.
I had to agree with her, putting the Christmas tree up with her made me happy.
We have a tradition at the burrow, ugliest tree gets to come into the house
Typically the twins pick it out, but this year Ron and I took it upon ourselves to find one
We traveled into a nearby forest this morning, the sun was just barely coming up when we were looking
  "Electra don't you think it's overkill being here this early??" Ron yawned out

  "We want the ugliest looking tree don't we?" When sleep does find my mind, I wake up early
I can't remember the last time I slept past 6am it's either I am up all night or I sleep for a few hours

  "Who are we fighting against? No one comes this way and no one would be willing to get up so early for it" Ron smiled slightly when he found a stump big enough to rest his head onto

  "I don't know trolls, gnomes, some kind of magical creature have some imagination Ron" I took a giant stick and started poking his ear with it

He batted me away and closed his eyes
  "I'll be here if you need me"

I rolled my own eyes, but continued on without his help
I would prefer the rare alone time I get to that early morning attitude

Foxes were running around playing in the open field I could see in the distance
I smiled brightly at them
I tried hard to get close, but when I did the three of them scurried off west of the forest
I chased after them, I loved running it was the most free I could be
When I ran, I didn't think of anything other than my destination
A few minutes of following the leader and I spotted the ugliest tree so far
The entire top part of the tree was missing it's pine leaves, and the bottom was barely covered
I went closer to it and saw that the top was crooked and had a few branches hanging on
When I touched the bottom of the tree almost all of the leaves fell off, leaving a bare tree with those limbs
No one in their right mind would want this in their home
It made me laugh, loud enough to scare off nearby Owls
  "Ron!!" I yelled

I heard footsteps crunching in the snow, quickly
  "Everything ok??" He asked panting

  "It's perfect" I turned to look at him

He laughed
  "That's so ugly"

Speaking of the twins, they wrote to me everyday like they promised, and Fred often wrote twice. They even sent me over gifts when my birthday arrived October 18th.
Charlie wrote to me as well, I'm starting to think Fred and him had a competition to see who could write to me the most
