the living room was filled with the scent of pine as you and felix worked together to decorate the christmas tree. the lights twinkled softly, casting a warm glow across the room, and felix was beaming with excitement, holding up an ornament like it was the most important thing in the world.

“do you think this one looks better on the left or the right?” he asked, holding the ornament up between the two sides of the tree, clearly in full-on holiday mode.

you laughed, watching him carefully study the branches. “honestly, it’ll look good anywhere you put it.”

felix tilted his head, still holding the ornament, deep in thought. “okay, but the placement has to be just right. we need balance. symmetry. christmas harmony!”

you raised an eyebrow, teasing, “christmas harmony, huh? this is getting serious.”

“i’m telling you,” felix said with a grin, “this tree is going to be perfect. we’re not just decorating a tree. we’re creating holiday magic!”
