I got home about 2am. When I entered the living room Carrie was asleep on the couch. I went upstairs to change into my pjs and I grabbed a blanket for Carrie. I laid down on or other couch and thought of all of our Christmas memories. I remember when we started our tradition of sleeping on the couch. She was about five and I was three. All I talked about that year was Santa Clause. So Carrie came up with the idea of sleeping in what ever room the fireplace was in just incase we woke up to see Santa coming down the chimney. What great memories we have together.

It was Christmas Day! I woke up to the smell of cookies and waffles. "Carrie what are you doing?" I yell from the couch.
"I'm starting our Christmas prep. Why?"
"I was just checking to make sure your okay." She laughed before replying me.
"M. I'm just fine. Hurry up and get changed so you can help me get everything ready." I went upstairs and changed out of my pjs. Once I felt I was ready I went into the kitchen and saw Carrie running between decorating cupcakes, making frosting, baking cookies and krumkakes. Plus she was slowly cooking our usual party food. Which consisted of meatballs, little hot dogs, chicken, cheese and crackers.
"I'll help you frost the cookies."
"Thanks M."

We baked all morning. By the time noon came around we started cleaning the house. Luckily Carrie cleaned most of the house yesterday night. That only took an hour. "M. Will you run to the liqiour store and get some beer, wine and anything else we might need?"
"Yeah. Give me a sec while I write them down."
"I'll send you a text when you get there."

I grabbed the keys and walked to the car. I was at a stop light when I received a text from Carrie.

Sissy: DO NOT READ UNTIL AT STORE!

I laughed knowing Carrie would send this. I pulled up to the liqiour store. Thank the good Lord it's open today. I grabbed my phone to read Carrie's text.

Sissy: DO NOT READ UNTIL AT STORE!
so I need beer, white wine, peppermint schnapps, jack Daniels, mike's hard lemonade. Plus anything you want. If you can run to the store to get hot chocolate mix that would be great.

Baby: will do

I spent an hour shopping for our party that starts in half an hour. I sped home. I put everything on the kitchen table and ran to my bedroom to find every hall decorated. I go dressed and went downstairs to find everything set up. I heard a knock on our door before I felt arms around my waist. I was in a daze for quite some time until Niall buried his face in my neck. "Merry Christmas Niall!" I said before turning around and wrapping my arms around his neck. "Merry Christmas to you too love." The girls arrived shortly after the boys.

We started up our party before I noticed that Carrie was missing. After a couple a minuets of looking Perrie pulled me next to the tree when I finally saw Carrie being pushed out of the kitchen by Harry. We took multiple pictures of everyone by our tree. The couples got their pictures taken. The bachelor and bachelorettes got a pic taken together. We had a lot of fun. Everyone enjoyed the food and games. We hardly realized that it was 4am by the time we all went to bed.
