ITS SO CLOSE TO CHRISTMAS
dont you dare correct me on that one
because christmas...
christmas means my family all getting together on christmas eve with the barbados cousins that are coming up and going to church at saint marys just like always
christams means getting to see people's faces when i give them something that they appreciate
christmas means pretty trees strung with little white lights
christmas means my family goes out and gets a huge fluffy christmas tree and decorates it with all the favorite decorations like the birds and the glass swan and tops it off with annas angel
and scarves and coats and rosy cheeks and breath you can see in delicate little clouds that linger near your face before disappearing into the clear air
and the whole house smelling like pine
and choirs singing my favorite carols ringing through the house on surround sound when the living room is lit only by a string of white lights around a garland
and christmas day and opening presents and then the OTHER side of the family coming over and everyone talking and laughing and trading gifts and the apples of my eye nicola and jake
sitting down on christmas morning opening stockings while sitting in the same places on the couch we always used to.
and last but certainly not least, christmas means there is only boxing day between me and the love of my life.
god i live for christmas.
