Ella & Molly
"That was my thought," Ella replied warmly, pleased that she was right about a potential topic for Molly. "I'd like to host actually," she admitted, as if it were a bit of a secret just between the two of them. "My mother and father used to put on quite the celebration for Christmastime, and I haven't been able to truly celebrate since my father passed. It will be lovely to celebrate with all of my friends, and to host with my husband."
There would need to be a tree of course, along with stockings on the fireplace and many many gifts for everyone. "What would you like to have at a Christmas celebration?" she asked, hoping that if she took Molly's suggestions to heart, it would encourage the young lady to be excited about attending.
