Don't you just remember the last few days before Christmas. You were dying of curiosity of what was in that huge box and that really heavy little box. Hum..... I wonder if I just carefully lift this piece of tape up I bet I can just slip out the box..... Oh, hi Mom.... I was just looking.... hehehehe. Guess I will have to wait till everyones asleep.To this day, I still know whats under the tree before Christmas day arrives. Those that know me never put anything under the tree until Christmas eve. I hate suspense movies and I hate the suspense of wondering what is in that big box or that pretty little box. Thats just me.
I do have one horror story though. When my husband and I were
dating.... he had put a big box under my tree. I promised not to open it and I didn't
either. Well, Christmas day arrived and I was just beside myself with anticipation. I opened this huge box and what was inside....another box..... and then another box..... all the way
down to a jewelry size box.... I was just dying by this point and when I saw that wonderful
little box I just knew it had to be a ring. WRONG! ! ! ! It was empty.. absolutely nothing
in all this mess of boxes and wrapping paper. Well it wasn't totally empty. There was a little note inside the box. It read...
Nothing can compare to the Love I feel for you!.......?
Holy Crap! ! ! ! !
Nothing could have hidden my disappointment! To this day he knows better then to ever do that again. I am sure that her thought he was just being a little clever and maybe just a little bit romantic in his cute little verse that he wrote. He won't ever do that again. Now, you are probably saying aw... ....how could I be so mean as to give him this special award .Well after being so good, and not even sneaking a peek, and not that I would have seen anything anyways, and then just knowing that when I finally got to that one pretty little box all wrapped up so
Holy Crap! ! ! ! !
sweetly that I just knew it was going to be an engagement ring, that to this day I am surprised that we ever got married. Hehehehe. It took me weeks to get over the disappointment.it was about 8 weeks until wefinally got married and then, to this day, we have never had one argument in 22 years.
I guess once was enough to last a life time. I love that man so much now that I can't imagine
my life without him unless he gives me another empty box and then.....Well... that would be
another story....HO HO HO
Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you enjoyed this true story. It makes us laugh, just a little bit,
every time I think of it. Just a little bit. Can you imagine the look on my face. Can you imagine,
even more the huge smile and anticipation on his face as I was opennig that
horrid little box. Hehehe
