Victorie walked into her bunk with a tiny Christmas tree over her shoulder. Kicking off her snow-covered boots, she made her way to the tree stand she had prepared earlier. After a few minutes of fussing, Victorie had a small evergreen standing in the corner of her bunk. Now, all she had to do was let the tree's branches drop, then she could start decorating it. Victorie grinned happily. Christmas was her favorite time of the year. A shuffling noise from under the bed broke her concentration. Victorie got down on her knees and lifted the bedskirt. Her cat Whiskers blinked at her and meowed. Victorie giggled.
"Hey, little guy."
She scooped Whiskers up in her arms and walked over to the purple armchair next to her bed. She sat down and tucked her feet up under her, still holding Whiskers. Leaning her head against the tall back of the chair, Victorie stroked her cat and stared off into space, thoughts of sleigh bells and gingerbread dancing through her mind.
