The Christmas Doll That Watched Me Sleep
Christmas had always been my favorite time of year. The lights, the songs, the magic—it all felt like stepping into another world. This year was no different.

The Cursed Ornament
The Hammond family’s Christmas tree was always the centerpiece of their holiday celebrations. Each year, they would decorate it with lights, garlands, and a collection of ornaments that had been passed down through generations. Among them was the family’s most treasured piece: a glass ornament shaped like a star, with intricate swirls of gold and silver encased within. It was said to bring good luck, a sentiment echoed by every Hammond who had ever hung it on the tree—until this year.
