((IVIKINZ!))I Leapt out of bed, over joyed. I quickly ran to the bathroom, splashing my face with cold water. I shivered as it ran down my shirt but I didn't care. I jumped into my room, turning on the radio. The static in the background played as well as the happy holiday songs. I quickly changed into a red sweater, I know it's cheesy, and jeans. I jumped down the stairs, 4 at a time. "Mother! Mother!" I shouted, running down the stairs. I glanced at the fireplace, the stockings were full of candy, red and white! They also had small gifts in them. "Mum! Santa came!" I shouted. Neville rounded the corner, eyes wide. "Keep it down, sister." He scolded me, but he was joking. The same joy lit up his hazel eyes and we laughed.
We raced to the tree where Mum and Dad were waiting. The gifts were stacked high and me and Neville attacked the ones labeled to us. "Lucy slow down!" Mum called, and I grinned as I pulled out the porcelain doll carefully.
It was a beauty, honest. With auburn spirals in her hair. Small pink lips contrasted her rosy cheeks on a pale background. She had long, dark eyelashes and blue twinkly eyes to match. Her dress was magnificent, it was a beautiful caribean blue. With layers on the bottom and a bodice carefully hand stiched.
I asked for a doll. I got something way, way better.
I continued to stare at it, and then I raced to my room. Taking a rocking wooden crib Neville had made me earlier that year I carefully lined it with a blanket. Laying the doll in it carefully I heard my mom distantly ask me what I was naming it. Millions of names came to mind, but I smiled. "Holly." I replied almost instantaneously.
((KITTY I LOVED IT~))
