So far the party was moving on smoothly, they had drunk all there hot chocolate and Lizzie and her sister were getting ready to leave.
“Good bye,” Mrs. Brown said, “I hope to see you again.”
“Me too,” Daffodil said.
“You guys can come by anytime,” Mrs. Brown said.
“Thank you,” Daffodil said, “come on, Lizzie, time to go.”
“Aw,” Finn and Willow said, frowning.
“Don’t worry,” Lizzie said, putting on her jacket, “we’ll see each other tomorrow.”
“Okay,” Willow said.
“Bye,” Finn said.
“Come on, Fedora,” Fedora’s mom said, “we have to go now.”
“Aw,” Fedora said sadly, getting up, “See you later, alligators.”
“Bye,” Harriette said.
“I’m leaving too,” Sacia asked.
“Do you need a ride home?” Fedora asked.
“That would be great,” Sacia said.
“Come on,” Fedora said.
Harriette watched as Fedora’s family and Sacia left. Then she turned to Collin who was talking to Tamarai.
“Time for bed,” her mom said. “We have church tomorrow.”
“I know,” Harriette said.
“Okay,” Tamarai said, “good night.”
“‘Night,” Harriette said.
After Tamarai went upstairs Harriette’s mom shooed her and Collin upstairs too. After dressing in her pajamas she got into bed, said good night to Collin and fell asleep.

The next few days leading up to Christmas break went by quickly for Harriette. On the last day she gave DaeRi her present early because DaeRi and her family were going to Korea over the break.
“I love it,” DaeRi said, looking at the light purple purse that Tamarai and Harriette had bought. “Thank you so much.”
“No problem” Harriette said.
“We saw it and just knew you would love it,” Tamarai said.
DaeRi hugged Tamarai and Harriette and then they had to split up because DaeRi’s mom was there to pick her up.
Finally it was Christmas break, but Harriette wasn’t very excited just yet. Collin was going on that ski trip with his friends, which meant a whole three days without him, Harriette would miss him terribly.
“I’m not going to be gone for that long,” Collin said when Harriette told him she would miss him when he was gone. Bentley was picking him up soon.
“But it will feel like a long time to me,” Harriette said. Collin had never went anywhere without Harriette, this was the first time they’ll be apart for so long.
“I’ll miss you too,” Collin said, closing his suitcase and lifting it off the bed.
“I’ll miss you more,” Harriette said.
After Collin left Harriette spent the next few days hanging out with Fedora and Tamarai, all of Fedora’s friends were going away for break too. Sacia went to Italy to spend Christmas with her relatives, AeGuk was DaeRi’s brother so he was with her, and Bryan was skiing with his family.
But it was not that bad in the end, Harriette, Fedora, and Tamarai played board games, went to the movies, ate out for lunch at cozy restaurants, and Harriette’s mom made them a bunch of hot chocolate.
On the day that Collin was coming home Harriette was playing Monopoly with Fedora and Tamarai while drinking some hot chocolate. Fedora was winning, as she always did.
“I’m home,” Collin said as he entered the living room.
“Collin!” Harriette said jumping up to hug him. “I missed you so much.”
“I missed you too,” Collin said after Harriette stopped hugging him.
“How was it?” Fedora asked, she was still sitting at the coffee table organizing her Monopoly money.
“Fun,” Collin said.
“Any crashes?” Fedora asked.
“No,” Collin said.
“Aw,” Fedora said, “you missed the best part of skiing. Bryan better come back with a bunch of wipe out tales.”
“Welcome back,” their mom said, she had just came in from the kitchen.
“Hello,” Collin said.
“How was it?” their mom asked.
“Fun,” Collin said.
“Why don’t you go upstairs and unpack,” their mom said, “when you come back down I’ll have some hot chocolate for you.”
“Okay,” Collin said, “I’ll be right back.”
Harriette watched him as he brought his stuff upstairs.
“Can I have some more hot chocolate?” Fedora asked.
“Of course,” their mom said.
“Well,” Fedora said, yawning, “I guess our game is done, I won!”
“Tamarai started to collect everything and put it back in the box while Fedora went into the kitchen to ask for some chips.
Harriette was so glad that Collin was home, now her Christmas vacation could really start. Not that she did not have any fun the past few days, she did, but now since Collin was home she could have more fun. Hopefully Fedora will continue to stay, Harriette did not think any of her friends were home yet so why wouldn’t she?
Fedora came out of the kitchen with a tray of hot chocolate and some tortilla chips with salsa. She set it on the coffee table.
“Eat up,” Fedora said, sitting on the couch and getting some chips.
Harriette followed her lead but just drunk some hot chocolate instead. Finally Collin came downstairs and sat next to Harriette.
“Here’s your hot chocolate,” Harriette said handing him one of the mugs of hot chocolate.
“Thank you,” Collin said, taking a sip. “So what did you guys do?”
“A bunch of stuff,” Fedora said with her mouth full, Harriette shot her a disgusted look.
“Yes, a lot of stuff,” Harriette said, “like play board games, as you saw when you arrived, we also went to see a movie yesterday after shopping at the mall. I bought you something for Christmas.”
“I thought you already bought me something for Christmas?” Collin said.
“I did,” Harriette said, “I bought you another gift, the more the merrier.
“I got you something too,” Collin said, “I got it while at the ski resort.”
“Really?” Harriette said, excited to see what Collin had gotten her.
“Yep,” Collin said.
“I bought everyone presents,” Fedora said,” you guys will love them, I’m just so good at buying stuff for people.”
“I’m so excited,” Tamarai said, she was sitting on the floor playing solitaire. “Christmas is becoming one of my favorite holidays.”
“It’s already one of mine,” Fedora said, her mouth full again.
Harriette just shook her head, Fedora never listened.
“Good bye,” Mrs. Brown said, “I hope to see you again.”
“Me too,” Daffodil said.
“You guys can come by anytime,” Mrs. Brown said.
“Thank you,” Daffodil said, “come on, Lizzie, time to go.”
“Aw,” Finn and Willow said, frowning.
