She carefully made it back over to Esme, while Esme pulled out a metal platter. The nest was placed on top of it, a clear plastic, rounded cover put on top. She added a small lamp next to the glass as a makeshift incubator.

“We can pick up a real one after we are finished with the cookies.” Esme yelled over to me.

I nodded and turned back to the tree, seeing that Emmett had brought in the six boxes they had of ornaments and Christmas decorations.

“Jesus, you guys like Christmas?” I exclaimed, going over to the first box.

“Hey, don't make fun of His holiday.” Emmett said in mock sternness.

“Well, when you have several Christmases to spend, you start to gather a collection, Carlisle said from beside me.

“Well, I guess that's true. Especially since you have all this money and can buy as many ornaments as you want.” I said, surveying the several different Christmas themed ornaments.

“It may help that it's my favorite holiday.” Alice said brightly from the kitchen.

I started to pull out a nice cobalt selection of ornaments. When I held it up to the lights, it cast a blue glow all around me.

“I always said blue looks best on you.” Edward said from directly behind me.

“Really? I think it looks better on the tree.” I said smirking, as I put the first ornament on a nearby branch.

Edward reached down and started grabbing several more of the delicate, blue bulbs, placing them sporadically among the tree branches.

“Why don't we put on that CD you brought?” Carlisle said from across the room.

“Sure. It's on the coffee table, next to my Christmas cards.” I said, over my shoulder, pulling out some gorgeous turquoise ornaments to add.

I heard the radio CD drive open up. He placed both the CDs from the two disc set into corresponding spots so that they would play one after another.

The first song drifted through the room, giving me that fuzzy Christmas feeling. I used to love singing along to all these old Christmas songs, but feeling like I paled in comparison to the Cullen singing voices, I simply hummed along.

It was “Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime.”

The moon is right
The spirits up
Were here tonight
And that's enough
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
