CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

25th of December and I knew what that meant, Christmas. Maya had mounted and decorated the Christmas tree and I had decorated the whole place.

Christmas was one of the days that brought families together so that meant Leo was coming, he comes by on every occasion and we celebrate it with Jason, I just hope he comes since I haven't seen him.

I got to baking cookies, Christmas cookies. Maya helped out in the making of the dough and everything went out perfectly. We also made brunch since the party wouldn't start until t 12:00 am.

"Noelle, they smell really nice," Maya said."Yeah, they do because we made 'em together," Noelle replied hugging Maya.

Maya and Noelle had earlier planned a small Christmas bash and had invited a few of our friends over namely: Jason, Liam, Noah, Mikaela, Amaya, and Leo. Just a few of them.

Everyone had agreed to come, so we got to planning the day before and here we are. "Maya is everything ready if so then I'd like to go shower," Noelle said. "Yeah, you can go shower, I will shower later," Maya yelled.

After the brief confirmation, Noelle made her way to the shower and took a long hot bath, something that was odd for her to do, but it was cold and she had no other alternative.

She finished showering and came out to blow-dry her hair after she was done she picked out a red Christmas sweater, blue jeans, and some fuzzy knee-high boots. She came down the stairs fully dressed and refreshed.

Maya took her turn in the shower and came down wearing the exact same thing. "Ohh, Maya for once will you stop copying me, I'm starting to think I'm your twin sister and not Amaya!," Noelle stated.

"Sorry this outfit is extremely comfy and I like pairing up with you it's cut," Maya said nudging Noelle. Because the party wasn't about to start any soon, Noelle and Maya sat on the couch binge-watching Christmas movies and drinking hot chocolate.

"Why did you have to pick home alone, we've watched it so many times now," Noelle said.

Maya gasped, feeling fake-offended. "Don't you dare say that again this is one of Christmas' classics and it's a tradition to watch it," "Since when was it a tradition to watch Christmas classics over and over again?" Noelle retorted.

"Since I said so and it's final!" Maya replied banging her fist on the table like a gavel.

"Alright, geez take a chill pill or sumn'," Noelle said sipping her hot chocolate quietly.

Maya and Noelle continued watching the movie without further interruption until Liam came bursting in. "Hey, hey, hey party people what's the haps',"

Maya ran over to Liam almost knocking him down, right behind him was an irritated Amaya. "Yeah I'm just gonna come in like a normal person," Amaya said.

"Geez sis, chill out it's Christmas," Maya said laughing right away at her intended pun.

"So where's Jason," Noelle asked looking behind them. "Oh, he called to say he couldn't make it," Liam said.

"What, he promised me he'd come, he always finds a way to let me down," Noelle said bursting into fresh tears.

"Noelle, don't cry I'm sure he has his reasons for not being able to make it," Amaya reassured.

"But Amaya, he always bails out on me, and I was hoping he could make up for it by coming today," Noelle said wiping her tears. "Any way where's Mikaela?" Noelle asked.

"Oh, she said she's gonna pick Leo up from the airport, she texted me they're on their way," Maya said remembering her earlier conversation with Mikaela. Just then Mikaela and Leo arrived.

"Well, looks who here we were just talking about you two," Maya exclaimed.

Noelle went up to Liam hugging him so tightly he thought she was gonna kill him. "Are you trying to welcome or kill me? decide," Leo teased. "Oh hush, I could kill you if I wanted to, but it's Christmas I don't wanna kill anyone or Christmas," Noelle said.

"Yeah or else you're gonna be known as 'The Christmas Murderer,', and the whole Hollywood industry is gonna make a movie about you called, 'Beware of The Christmas Murderer," Maya pitched in.

"Yeah we get it, stop with your nonsense," Amaya reprimanded.

"Let's go watch some Christmas classics," Liam said. "So that's where Maya gets it from, you're really meant to be," Noelle said.

"Lemme guess Maya said Home Alone is a Christmas classic and it's a tradition you watch it?" Amaya added.

"Yeah, how do you know about that? do you share the same mind, I've always thought about twins that way," Noelle said.

"No! I'd die if I had to share a brain with her. She always did when were kids I'm surprised she hasn't forgotten about it," Amaya said.

Noelle, Leo, and Mikaela took the couch, Maya and Liam took the love seat, and Amaya took the single-seat couch. They watched Christmas movies that ranged from old to new. After about three hours of watching movies, they decided to take a single snack break.

Noelle distributed the cookies she had earlier made among them all and made hot chocolate for everyone.

"My sister's cooking is simply amazing," Leo praised, taking another bite out of his cookie. "Yeah we all love it unlike someone's own," Amaya said, eyeing Maya.

"Cut it out I'm improving okay," Maya said.

Leo took Noelle to a secluded area of the hall and asked the whereabouts of Jason. "Noelle, where's Jay and why isn't he here," Leo asked, using his pet name for Jason.

"I don't know it's not like I own the guy, Liam said he couldn't make it," Noelle said annoyed.

"Elle, you clearly like the guy, stop denying it to yourself, you only become annoyed like that when Jason's involved," Leo said.

"No you're wrong, I'm just annoyed because he's been my best friend and he's been avoiding me lately," Noelle said. "Then I'll have to text him and find out what's going on," Leo said.

After their short conversation, Noelle and Leo went back to the small gathering. Noelle had prepared rice and stir-fried chicken, so she served everyone and they all started eating.

"Mhm, that's right I helped with the food," Maya said out of nowhere. "And did anyone ask," Amaya retorted.

"I just wanted everyone to know that I helped in the making of very food present here, so no one should say otherwise," Maya said. "Right," Amaya said with a skeptical face.

They all enjoyed their food engaging in conversation, and before they knew it they were done with the food. "Arigatou gozaimasu for the food Noelle, in case you don't know what it means, I mean Thank you so mu-," Leo said getting cut off by Noelle.

"I know what it means, dummy," Noelle said. "No need to be rude about it," Leo replied pouting. "You know it wasn't intentional, dummy," Noelle said. "There you go again, I'm starting to rethink this whole siblings thing," Leo stated.

They all went back to the hall after cleaning the dishes and played board games.

The sun went down before they knew it and everybody had to leave.

"Thanks for coming, see you next year," Maya and Noelle said as they saw everyone off. "I'll be back by tomorrow and make sure you prepare more food for me," Leo said as he left.

"We will," Maya said. "This year's gathering was great, I can't wait for next year," Noelle exclaimed. "Yeah, and I'll have the chance to make more food with you," Maya said hugging Noelle.
