Decorating For Christmas

"Just a little bit higher!" I called from on top of my BFFs shoulders. I was putting the angel on top of the Christmas tree.
"Ughhh!" They all groaned, lifting me up higher.
"Almost......there!" I said, reaching out my hand trying to reach the top branch. "Aaaand....GOT IT!"
"Ahhh!" They all relaxed and I immediately fell to the floor. Luckily, I landed on my feet.
"Wow! Soooooomebody should work out!" I joked.
"Hey!" Gwen replied.
Ivy laughed. The others joined her. (Oh! Did I mention she's nice now? Yep! One of my new BFFS! :D)
"Well, let's turn on the lights and assess our finished project!" Jessica said.
"YAAAA!" Kiya agreed, quickly going over and plugging it in.
The tree lit up. Every branch glittered with ornaments, garlands, and twinking lights.
We oooohed and aaaaaaaaaahed for a minute, admiring the beautiful tree.
"I. LOVE IT!" I shouted. The others joined in with their "oh yes."
"Oh, tis lovely. I wish Lissie were here," Beth said, quieting down on the last sentence.
"We all do, Beth. But hey! At least she's with Molly now!" I pointed out. We still can't believe that piece of luck.

"You're right. Tis very lucky, isn't it?" She said, cheering up a bit.
"Yes, it really is," Gwen agreed.
"Lissie sure deserves best!" Sarah put in. We all agreed.
We were quiet for a minute, thinking of old times.
"Ok then, let's put up some nativities!" I suggested.
"Ya! Great idea!" Everyone replied.
So we did just that, putting up a collection of about 25. At the end, we stood back and admired the room.
"Wow, sure is beautiful," Ivy sighed.
"Yes, it is." Gwen agreed. We all nodded.
"Just perfect for the perfect Christmas!" I said. Everyone agreed.
Yes. The perfect Christmas!

Love ya!
