Christmas, walls, and mush
My Christmas was fabulous. I got lots of quality time with my kids. We watched movies, played games, and just enjoyed each other’s company. They opened their Christmas gifts on Christmas Eve. My son declared that I was the best mom ever when he opened his tickets to Jeff Dunham. My daughter was happy with her baking stuff and of course her makeup. I got Jumpin Jack Flash, a 9 week old kitty. That night we went over the river and through the woods to Grandma’s house. I spent some time with her and other family members. My kids went to their dad’s house afterwards.
The only thing I asked Santa for was some time Christmas with my guy. I got that Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. He also surprised me with a bottle of perfume. He told me about going to the counter and the lady trying to spray all these perfumes on him. He had her get a box and spray different areas to separate the scents. Smart isn’t he? He found the one he wanted after smelling about 30 different ones. I was touched that he went through so much trouble. I never had anyone that went through the trouble of actually picking something for me. Usually they just bought something off a list I created when my kids made theirs. Most of the time I didnt get anything. I truly expected nothing. The story alone almost made me mushy. He did pick the perfect perfume.
We spent time with his family. Food was fabulous. There is always so much laughter in their house. You cant help but feel good there. We played Smart Ass. Its a trivia game. My guy rocked it. Glad he was on my team. He even smoked the hard ass questions. I enjoyed watching him play.
That night he played an Elvis song for me. Although I like some of Elvis’s songs, I am not a big Elvis fan. Not a big secret. He knows this. I think Elvis contributed to the music industry and yeah some of his tunes are catchy but he isn’t usually my first choice. Anyway my guy played “Wonders of You”. Then he said the song was written for me. I didn’t know how to react. I have kept all the mush and emotions to a limit. I don’t know whether to re-inforce my wall or let him slowly take it down. I guess I am scared at any of the possibilities. Shoot I don’t even use the “L” word unless it’s with my kids or my best girlfriends. I am glad that he knows I understand as well as accept him just as he is. It is nice knowing he appreciates me.
Here are the lyrics in case you have never heard it…
The Wonders of You
When no-one else can understand me
When everything I do is wrong
You give me hope and consolation
You give me strength to carry on
And you're always there to lend a hand
In everything I do
That's the wonder
The wonder of you
And when you smile the world is brighter
You touch my hand and I'm a king
Your kiss to me is worth a fortune
Your love for me is everything
I'll guess I'll never know the reason why
You love me like you do
That's the wonder
The wonder of you
