Avril stared at the shelf full of nothing but Christmas decorations. Lights, tinsel, bulbs --- teal hues moved back and forth over the selection. Almost overwhelming in a sense as nothing seemed quite right. Hell, she wasn't even sure what kind of tree she wanted. A real one? Fake? Green? White? Pink? The different ideas continued to run through her mind, almost incapable of making a decision that was all in all, quite simple. She knew that, but she couldn't help but want everything to be perfect this year. Seemed naive, of course, but this would be the first time in a few years where her family would all be back together again. Well, --- for the most part. Jacob was coming in from New York, with some 'big surprise', and Peyton was starting to hang around more again. Even Tristan agreed to come home for the holidays. This, to Avril, was really all she wanted for Christmas. But she also wanted to go all out, because for once she could afford to. Yet, she just seemed stuck on the whole thing altogether. "Should I go with the blue bulbs and a white tree, give it that whole Winter Wonderland thing? Or should I go with the colored lights, plain Santa theme?" She asked the person next to her, not really tearing her eyes from the display before her. "Or are real trees the thing?" She added, now looking over at the person, "And I swear if you question why I don't already have one up, I might sock you." Since that seemed to be more the answer to anything Christmas related she had brought up lately.
