Eliie never celebrated holidays. Holidays weren't celebrated in Boston, ever. And sure, Jackson celebrated a lot of the holidays, but she never joined in. Especially not after Joel's death.

She didn't see what there was to celebrate. It seemed like useless tradition to her.

Then there was you, one of her friends. You? You were a holiday freak. Ellie blamed your parents. Your parents pretty much ran all the holiday celebrations in Jackson, it was only natural you got a bit holiday crazy too.

Now here you were, in her house, begging her to join the Christmas party in town while she was just trying to sleep.
