It took me by surprise that it is only 28 days till Christmas.
As I watched the news and read articles of the Black Friday madness I began to think. What is the holidays really about?
Her side!
It's not about the perfect gift that someone told you to get her.
It's not about the appliance you think she needs.
It's not even about the dreaded holiday party you feel obligated to attend.
It's much simpler then that.
It's the perfect time to ponder on the year. What have you 'not' done that would surprise her? Have you sent a letter? Not a text, an email or a sticky note! Just a letter never using the words like, love or want. And pray tell not more then two I's. A letter full of innuendos, smile causing and blush filling thoughts.
Its the perfect time to swallow discomfort and schedule that massage for two.
The perfect time to order a fine meal and surprise her with an at home candle lit dinner. And...if you are adventurous at all... serve it wearing only an apron.
It's the time when you can give the gift of showing. Showing appreciation like, love and kindness. Wrap that in a gift. I dare you!!!!
By all means shop for an item or two but make the best gift the one to remember.
As the stores scramble to get all you can spend. As the commercials remind you that diamonds are forever. As your friends and co-workers speak of their gift list with bragging in tone. Smile.... say nothing..... and just plan on the best holiday for her.
I mean really....the end result would be the best holiday for you too....*wink-wink*
