[man ] "I hope she likes it. This brand new picnic rug and cushions will make our day under the tree.. wonderful."

 

.. this man smiles as he sees his fiance come towards him..

 

[woman] "Oh, i hope he likes what i am wearing. It is our first time out together, and with so much drama before us, with all those people asking questions I wonder if he will say..?"

 

  .. a favourite dress she bought, and it was brand new looking..

 

[woman] "HI.. FIANCE...."

[woman] "I love saying that word, as it feels so special witht the one I love....'

 

Christmas Day is much like that. The people you see are not like you see in the movies, where the step-brother takes over the house and abuses all your visitors.

 

[man] "well, HELLO THERE FIANCE.. my love. I just cannot believe you said yes! Soon we will have to worry about people talking about a baby."

 

[man] " I brought some food my mum made for us. She said just tell her it is a present to welcome you to our family.'

 

[woman] "Well, as per arrangement i made some home made lemonade."

My mum and I were a two person family. Our Christmas's were always special.. 42 of them We always shared Christmas Breakfast, Christmas Lunch and Christmas Dinner.

 

When we went to that thingy people call Christmas Mass, one year we decided to open the presents on Boxing Day and went to the beach and watch the sun rise above the horizon..

 

.. no one was on the beach, no crowds, no noise and no Priest bothering us.
