Headcanon: (For once, it’s not Emmett.)
Esme likes to hand knit a bunch of those “ugly” christmas sweaters for her family to wear nearly every year.
@the-stars-descend #and then the next day they all donate them to a nearby charity #said charity is always pleased to discover a pile of brand new exceptionally pleasant smelling sweaters each year. #along with a stack of anonymous handwritten letters for whoever receives the corresponding sweater #or maybe it’s not the next day maybe they donate them on new years?
I’m really digging this.
But I imagine it more like, as soon as December hits, that’s when the Cullens get their sweaters from Esme. So she likely would make them in November or she may have pre-made them earlier in the year.
Instead of giving them away the day after Christmas, the Cullens keep their sweaters for the entire year. As October finishes, the seasons change and everything around starts to get cold, that’s when they donate their sweaters. They donate their old sweaters to make room for their new sweaters for the holidays.
Also, I never actually said that Esme only makes one for each person. She likely makes a few for each member of the family. Like, she probably knitted Carlisle a doctor-themed sweater for work, a couple for home, and a few new festive scarves to go with them. Emmett probably requested that one of his has a bear wearing a christmas hat, or maybe a dinosaur on it.
Idk, let’s say she makes at least 3 for each member, and now inculding Bella, Renesmee, Jacob, and probably Seth (Leah gets one even if she doesn’t want one), that’s like around 30 sweaters lmao (+Carlisle’s scarves). The charities they donate to would definitely be happy with that. And I love the idea of a hand written letter attached to the sweaters.
I really like your addition and I can definitely see them doing that.
And I just…. the anonymous letters. Can you even imagine. Most of theirs is v sweet sounding. Esme’s sounds more warm and loving than Edwards but Edwards sounds more like an excerpt from a novel. Jasper’s and probably Rensmee’s is a typical “wish you a wonderful christmas and a happy new year” kind of letter. And then you have Emmett… “I fought a mountain lion and won wearing this sweater. I hope when you wear it you have an epic moment too. Merry Christmas.”
I think a lot about Rosalie holding Bella in her arms while reading. Bella with her favorite book, and Rose just happy to hold her love. Rose will absentmindedly play with Bella’s hair and read over her shoulder. At times one of them will make a comment about the book, but mostly read in silence.
Sometimes Rosalie asks Bella to read to her. She’ll lay her head in Bella’s lap and close her eyes. She doesn’t really pay attention to what the story is about. She just loves listening to Bella’s voice.

Of course! Rosalie is always dressing Bella in her clothes when they go on dates. And Bella ends up stealing her favorite sweaters of Rosalie’s. And Rosalie wears Bella’s oversized flannel shirts.

bella sees rosalie’s legs sticking out from under a jeep and describes them as “rosalie’s unmistakably perfect legs” in eclipse like there is no heterosexual explanation for this
bella: hey rose I think something is wrong with my car again :///
rosalie: really? I just checked it last week, what’s wrong with it now?
bella, clutching a fistful of wires behind her back: man I don’t know I guess you better change into your mechanic’s jumpsuit and grease stained tank top and figure it out before it kills me
Rosalie has such a hard time being with Bella at first. She doesn’t know how to be around her. She’s not used to being nervous around a human. How could some simple human make her feel this way?
