A/N: Heyy everyone :) It's that time of year again ;) CHRISTMAS! And what better way to celebrate than with the twelve days of Christmas!? I'll be posting a Christmassy-themed Jalice one-shot every day between now and Christmas, the last one being posted on Christmas Eve. That's twelve one-shots of Jalice-y goodness. Enjoy ;)

The first day of Christmas

Alice giggled as she ran through the glass doors out into the snowy garden, Jasper not far behind her. His tall, long strides matched her excited running and leaping as she danced around in the falling snow. Twirling round and round, she laughed again as snowflakes stuck in her hair and eyelashes.

Jasper caught her round the waist and pulled her close to him, "Stay still, Alice."

She smiled as she looked up at him, "Why would I want to do that?"

In a flash, she was gone again. Prancing and spinning as Jasper looked after her with a fond look. He watched her for a while, his beautiful wife. She got like this every year; excited over the snow, the Christmas decorations, and especially the presents. And yet instead of growing tired of her child-like act, Jasper found it cuter every year.

After a moment, he couldn't stand just watching her anymore.

She squealed as he grabbed her and pulled her up against the old pear tree that stood in the centre of the garden. Behind it, they were sheltered from the big house, and hidden from their family.

If you asked any one of the Cullens to describe Alice and Jasper's relationship, they'd probably say something like this; They're the cutest couple you'd ever see, deeply in love and perfect for each other. They don't show their affection physically, but you can see in their eyes how they feel for each other.

It was true; the couple rarely displayed their affection for each other in front of the family. But that didn't mean they didn't show their affection in private. Hidden behind this big old oak tree, the pair had shared many a kiss. In spring Jasper had spun her around and picked stray petals out of her hair as the occasional blossom would fall down from the tree above. In the summer they'd lay under the tree, gazing up at the blue sky and at each others' sparkling skin. In fall they'd watched the amber leaves floating down around them, Alice kicking piles of them into the air. Each time would end in a kiss, sweet and gentle, tender and caring.

Now, they stood under the drifting snow, bare branches above their heads hung with icicles. Alice leant against the tree with a smile as Jasper wrapped his arms around her, as if blocking out the cold. He brushed snow gently off her nose and she laughed, a sweet tinkling sound like sleigh bells.

He leant down and sealed their lips, and although their bodies were as cold as the snow around them, he felt like his heart could warm the entire world in that moment.

Him and Alice, together. Spring, summer, fall, and winter. Always and forever.
