“You are a mess, sweetheart.”

Glancing down at myself, I could see what he meant. I had frosting all over my apron. Thankfully, none had landed on my sweater. My hands looked like I had dyed each of my fingers different colors. And underneath my nails, I had small sugar beads. I couldn’t even imagine what my face looked like.

“Here, let me wash you.”

Daddy came over to me with a wet paper towel in his hand. Ugh, I hated when he ran the moist cloth over my face. It felt so uncomfortable. I tried to turn my head away so he wouldn’t be able to wash it, but he still managed to reach it.

“No! No more,” I cried as he finished with my face and went to wash my fingers. I didn’t understand why he couldn’t let me take a bath. That would get all the sugar off of me.

“We’re almost done. After this, how about if we watch a movie and relax a little?”

“Can we watch Arthur’s Perfect Christmas?” I asked as he pulled my apron over my head.

“Of course, baby girl. Why don’t you head into our bedroom and we can watch it up there?”

“All righty.”

I headed upstairs, thinking about how exciting it would be to watch this movie. It had come out when I was in first grade and it had been an instant classic for me. As silly as it sounded, my favorite part of the entire show was the first minute. I loved the opening scene because the music was so pretty and you could see Elwood City all decorated and ready for Christmas.

When I made it to my bedroom, I grabbed my Piglet doll and cuddled with him under the covers. I was a tiny bit cold and I wanted to huddle with my favorite stuffie.

“You and Piglet ready to watch this movie?”

“You betcha!”

He grabbed the remote and sat on the edge of the bed as he found the movie I wanted underneath our saved DVR programs.

Before he pressed play, he snuggled underneath the covers and pulled me close to him, so we were cuddling. It felt nice to be cuddled up next to my daddy. He was big and super warm and I knew that nothing could harm me when I was with him.

He finally started the movie and my favorite part began.

Ten minutes after the movie began, my eyes started to get pretty heavy. I tried to keep them open, but I finally fell asleep around the time that Arthur and his mom finished their Christmas shopping.
