Christmas Eve from Paige's point of Veiw

I sprang from my bed. "It's Christmas Eve," I whispered to myself.

I slid on my slippers and headed into the kitchen.

When I got there Caroline was baking waffles. "Morning," I said. "You startled me," she said taking her oven mitt off and walking over to me.

'Where is everyone?" I asked. "Well, Emma is dog-sledding with Julie and Sadie, McKenna went to a gymnastics party and took Rebecca with her, and Lily and Luke are still sleeping," Caroline replied.

"I guess it's just you and me then," I said cheerfully. "Yep!" said Caroline, "at least until the others get home." We both laughed. A loud bang nearby scared me to death a few minutes later. That's when I knew Emma was home.

She usually slams the door behind her. Sadie came walking in tracking snow, Julie came in with snowflakes  stuck to her hat, and then came Emma with the most beautiful snowflakes in her hair that I have ever seen.

A couple of minutes later Emma had lit up the tree and everyone was gathered around the tv watching the Grinch.

Only me and Caroline weren't at the tv, so I went over to watch for a while.

Breakfast was served. I sat at the table and soon everyone was gathered around me, eating Caroline's delicious waffles. There was was sugar, strawberries, syrup and whipped cream in the center of the table. I only put syrup on my waffles, though.

When everyone was finished we all helped make cookies for Santa.

   

We had lots of spare time after that, so we watched some Christmas movies.

At 3 p.m. I took out my book and read for about an hour.

When I was finished Caroline started the meatloaf, so I played on the Xbox with Rebecca until dinner was ready.

We had dinner and then got into our pajamas even though it was only 6. We opened early gifts, like we do every Christmas Eve. I opened my present 3rd because Lily and Luke went before me. By then it was around 6:30, so we played two rounds of UNO. At 7:30 we watched the Polar Express. The movie was over at 9:30 so we went to bed. Julie read us The Night Before Christmas. I couldn't sleep after that. I was too excited to sleep! It took me about an hour to fall asleep, but I did fall asleep. That's my Christmas Eve. What do you do on Christmas Eve?

Merry Christmas everyone! Paige is Peanut Butter's new doll. You can see her on the meet the dolls page. Remember to vote on our poll!                -Peanut Butter

How to make a Chistmas Tree ornament for your dolls' tree

Hi there! It's Fluff. I was bored today so I made this cute doll sized tree ornament to pass the time. It is pretty simple and is extremely fun.

You'll need:

14 green pony beads

1 yellow pony bead

6 red pony beads

1 brown pony bead

string

scissors

a ruler

1. Measure and cut 2 feet of string. ( 24 inches, 60 cm )

2. Line up the two ends of the string.

3. Tie a knot making a loop big enough to slip onto the branches of your doll's tree.

4. Tape the string to your work surface.

5. String the yellow bead on the left string.

6. Pull the right string through the yellow bead.

7. Pull!

8. I know that this photo shows two green beads but it looks better with 1 red 1 green

String on 1 red bead and 1 green bead on the left string.

Thread the right string through those two beads.

9.Pull!

10. Put on 2 green beads and 1 red bead for row three.
Thread the right string through them.

Row 4: 1 green, 1 red, 2 green

Row 5: 4 green, 1 red

11. Row 6, 1 red, 1 green, 1 red, 3 green

12. Pull really tight. You're almost done.













13.  Pull through the second green bead on each side of the tree.
The pic below explains it better than me.

  14. Thread on the brown bead.

!5. Tie a knot.

 Ta-Da! You now have your own doll-sized Christmas tree ornament.

Christmas Eve Eve

Twas the day before the day before Christmas, and all through the house  everyone was celebrating. That is, all but Chrissa.

Christmas Eve  Eve

  The date was December 23, 2013. There were exactly two days to Christmas.

And I was sleeping. What was I thinking. 7:30 and there was soooooo much to do.

I need to get going. My eyes flash open. I sit up. I look at what I wore to bed. Yesterday's clothes. Eh. I have a lot to do, I don't have time to change.

I make myself some breakfast. I need to eat, I'm starving. I can't remember if I ate dinner last night. I was really busy cleaning the house up.

After I wash the dishes, my feet are soooooooooo cold. I search around for some socks. I can't find two matching socks. I really have to get going. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and my tree isn't decorated.

I hurry into the living room and stare for a moment at the undecorated tree. It looks so plain and boring.

I dig through the box of ornaments. I can't find the lights.

I dump all of the ornaments on the floor. Still no lights. Maybe one of the girls took them somewhere. Hmmm.

I check the side of my bed. Nope.

I check in the kitchen. Still no lights. Where could they be.

In my office!

I try to untangle them but end up dragging them into my bedroom to untangle the there.

This is impossible!!!

I need to calm down. I lay down for a minute.

                     Who needs lights anyway?

I'm almost done decorating the tree.

I finish up. That was exhausting. Yaaaaaawn. I could go for a little snooze.

Creak. I hear a squeaky floorboard. Someone's in my room. I sit up all of a sudden. This person in my room is not a person, well people don't float three inches above the floor. Must have been a rat I heard. I shiver. 
"Wh-who are you?" I ask.
"I'm Caroline, the ghost of Christmas perfect-ness."
"What?"
"I'm here to show you Christmas."
"I know what Christmas is."
"Just come on. This trip will be a bit windy.

"Let me get a hat first." I replied
"Ready, Set, Hear we go!"

 Whooosh

"Here we are."

"Look at this huge tree!"

"This family is very wealthy," Caroline started, "they spent lots of money this Christmas."

"That's cool"

"But do they look happy, their Christmas is as perfect as it can get."

"No." I replied

I observed two family members sitting on the couch watching tv. They looked extremely bored.

Whooosh!

 "Where are we?" I asked looking around.

"This family is very poor. Their Christmas is almost nothing."

"That's sad."

"But do they look happy?"

"Yes!"

" Ok, last one."

I blink.

"It's me!"

"Chrissa, wake up!"

"This is going to be the best Christmas EVER!!!!"
