#muse:rea

There was no real explanation as to why Christmas was Rea’s favorite time of the year, but she was always so full of the spirit and joyful that it could never be contained. And when her best friend had told her that he had never really had a real Christmas she decided that her cheer was exactly what was needed. It was two weeks before the 25th and after decorating her brother’s place, and even her dorm room, she couldn’t wait anymore and went over to Issac’s with a truck full of decorations ready to make his home look the way she felt he deserved. 

While holiday classics filled the space, Rea hung her hand cut paper snowflakes along the ceilings of every room, excluding the bathroom, lit scented candles so it smelled “Christmas-y”, and hung mistletoe over a couple of doorways. Issac’s front door was lined with garland and lights, she also hung a wreath with bells on it that she hoped wouldn’t annoy him after a while. There was no fireplace but there was an entertainment center for Rea to hang their stockings from and the television was playing the recording of a real fireplace to keep some kind of illusion going. It was 80 degrees outside but they were going to have a fire of some kind. The only thing she didn’t touch was the tree. It still remained in the box, brand new, along with ornaments, garland, and lights. The receipts remained in the bags too, just in case he didn’t want the traditional red, green, and gold, she had chosen.
