It was still early but Effie was already up, just last night she had made Haymitch get a Christmas tree while she had went to the attic to get all the Christmas decorations, this would be the first Christmas of Zara with them and the former escort wanted it to be special. Been thrilled with the idea of making something special with her daughter made the blonde woman get up a bit earlier and head downstairs.
She was in the kitchen having her daily dose of coffee and hoping that she hadn’t made too much noise, the boxes were in the living room, she wanted to start this tradition with Zara. Yes, Effie had celebrated Christmas in Twelve before but this one was different, it was their first Christmas with their new family member, with their daughter. Taking a sip of her coffee her gaze was on the window that overlooked the backyard and she got lost in her thoughts wondering how her mother would had reacted to see her daughter in Twelve, with the former drunkard and now with a daughter. Probably she wouldn’t be too happy that was for sure.
