it's a short christmas story i know christmas has passed but i love it
Christmas, what is the meaning of it? Is a question that was plaguing my mind for my entire life. Christmas is the time of year in which members of each family gather in another's family member home. Christmas is the time of year in which all rich people give money to folks which are less fortunate than themselves (which they only do to make themselves sleep better at night.) Some people appreciate Christmas because it marks the anniversary of a relationship which their loved one or something of that importance which someone which is outside that relationship cannot see. Other people see Christmas as a time to thank the one above for sparing their lives for yet another year, giving thanks for being alive. Christmas can mean different things to different people but in all the essence of Christmas is still there, doing something to make yourself feel good and peaceful whether is in church or which the one that you love Christmas is a time to be thankful for something while enjoying yourself.
This Christmas I was determine to do it, I couldn't believe that I had finally gotten the courage to give it to her, but what would she say or do, what would I say? No time of thinking that now, especially when already had spent all that money. I wonder if I could just leave it and run, right that's a good idea knock on the door and run before she sees me but if I do that anybody can take credit for my gift like that Paul, he would love to do that I can't give him that satisfaction of something he didn't do. Well I guess I will have to right my name on a piece of paper and a reason why I couldn't give it in person but shit I neither have a pen or a paper damn what a time to run low on stationary haha and besides that would be an idiotic thing to do leaving an expensive thing like that outside a house in the ghetto anyone can pass by and pick it up without me getting and idea of who was the one who stole it, so I guess the only option is delivering it directly to the house in person as in to somebody like her brother, mother, father or sister but they could misplace it or lose it I could risk it not being delivered to her so I guess I had to do it myself it was the only way. Wow I was almost there the trip to her house is shorter than I thought. I was going to actually deliver it I wasn't going to run away and she wasn't going anywhere all the chips that needed to be in place was there without any untimely obstacles to prevent this blessing by God. I finally arrived taking out the present with great care and caution making sure not to damage it in the car.
I got out of the car thinking of all the things that I could be doing at this time, like being at my grandmothers house for Christmas dinner or in the bar hanging out with my friends which has no family or family doesn't want to see them or they just to ashamed to see their family. Friends like that are the ones which I learn the most from in order not to fall short in anything I do and never take my loved ones for granted and always seize the moment. As I continued walking I remember those inspirational things I was taught and was about to put them into practise right now with the sprits of all my friends supporting my decision. Then I suddenly froze I didn't think it was the weather it wasn't that cold, then I finally saw why there was a sudden pause in my movements. As I looked forward I saw him, my rival, the only man that stood in the way of the one person I needed to make my life complete and he was here and in the cold alone like me but with her, I suddenly felt the urge to scream NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Then I tried to see what they were doing not to pry or anything but just to see if my appearance would walk in on anything that was intimate or maybe I would see body language telling him to hit the road and leave her alone or something of the sort. So I would know weather to make my move or leave them for each other but if I knew for a fact that they belonged together I would have left them alone and moved on and if she thought that they belong together she wouldn't had broke off the engagement. Trying to get a proper viewing point I thought of the events that lead to this moment.
It started a week ago when I realise that the person I had seen was none other than my best friend Sonia, well if I have to say in which point in time that it all began is a Christmas when I was twelve. Sonia and I were best friend's well maybe a little more than that, and it was so our whole live and it was Christmas Eve and as usual Sonia had ask me what I giving her and I always answered the same way saying that tomorrow she would find out and always surprise her with something that she loved. For instance the Christmas before that I had given her a large chocolate heart with words engraved "my love for you is like a diamond it will last forever" back then I was kind of a player I had chat but she was the only woman I was interested in back then and up until and I still think we belong together. So that Christmas I made her this beautiful necklace with words inscribed "be mine"
