Returning home at Christmas is the greatest homecoming anyone ever had, and Alice doesn´t want to leave her family again. It is going to be the best Christmas than ever before because it hasn´t been as peaceful, joyful and graceful at home ever before. It just seems as if time has been turned back and all of the bad things never happened. At New Year´s Eve she´s grateful to be rid of the old year. Alice wishes she could just tear it out of her life like pages from the calendar. Now she´s just happy, triumphant and feels grown-up because her family asks her to help them make preparations for the big New Year´s party.
Moreover she´s happy that her parents incorporate her best friend Chris an a very friendly way into their family.
