“This is such a perfect song to start off with.” Alice cooed from the kitchen, where she placed another batch of cookies in the oven.

“Why do you say that, honey?” Jasper asked, while hanging wreaths around the downstairs.

“Because we're finally all a true family. We have everyone we need here. Well, minus one.” She said, flashing a wink at Renesmee.

Renesmee's cheeks flared up in the blush that used to be all too familiar on my own cheeks. She had obviously been referring to Jacob.

Renesmee, now had the body of a seven-year-old and apparently had her first little girl crush, though we trusted Jacob not to act on any such feelings until she was fully grown. It still upset me that Jacob had imprinted on my daughter, but I couldn't deny my daughter the ultimate happiness he provided for her. I knew that he would take car of her when she was finally grown up and if she ever decided to go off alone with him.

“I'm just glad that I finally get to spend a Christmas with you guys.” I said, smiling at Edward.

I saw pain flicker across his eyes for a moment, as he thought of that winter when he had disappeared, but it quickly disappeared and that familiar crooked grin took its place.

“Ooh! We should take Bella on our family tradition, back where we used to live before Forks!” Alice squealed.

Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime

The choir of children sing their song
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding ohhhh
Ohhhhhhh

The Cullen men groaned, especially Edward and Emmett.

“Anyone care to explain?” I asked, totally clueless.

“Caroling.” Jasper said with contempt.

“Esme used to make us back before Emmett, but we gave up that same year. We were good, but we scared everybody because we were so odd.” Edward said.

“Then once the little one over here joined us, she decided to reinstate the caroling policy.” Rosalie said, gesturing at Alice with a frosting tube.

“What's caroling?” Renesmee said, not looking up from the cookie she was decorating.

“It's when you go door to door, singing Christmas songs, and spreading Christmas cheer.” Alice said excitedly, clutching the frosting bag to her chest, as she sighed in content.

“Yeah, well, singing and I don't get along.” I said, pulling out a long stretch of silver garland for the tree.

I heard that the song had been restarted in the background, so I looked over to see who had done it. Alice was standing next to the stereo with a huge grin.

“This song was our favorite one to sing. It's always good to start off with since it's so happy and fun.” she said in a bubbly voice, skipping back to the kitchen.

“Like you would ever let us forget.” Edward groaned, opening up a second box of decorations.

“Why would you want to?” Alice huffed.

“Do we really need to go into this?” Jasper said, spreading a wave of calm around to avoid argument.

“Fine. But I still think we should go caroling now that we have Bella and Renesmee.” Alice said in an indignant tone.

Everybody stayed silent as the song was finishing its final verse.

The moon is right
The spirits up
Were here tonight
And that's enough

Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Christmastime

“Let's go get that incubator.” Esme said, ushering Renesmee towards the garage.

“I'll come with.” Carlisle called from the back room he had run off to.

“We gotta finish decorating.” Jasper said, grabbing the Christmas lights for the front of the house.

“I'll get the ladder.” Emmett added.

“Bella and I have to finish this tree.” Edward said, as I nodded along.

“Well, Rosalie. What's your excuse?” Alice said, turning on her.

“I have some last minute shopping to do.” she blurted out running for her car.

“Ooh shopping? Count me in!” Alice said, running after Rosalie.

I let out a sigh of relief, as Alice disappeared out the door. This would be an interesting Christmas.
