A Holiday Love Story – Blogmas 2023 Day 9

 

Please click play button to set the mood!

Hi, Beauties

We have covered a lot in the last two weeks. I can’t go any further without added a little sprinkle of Love to Blogmas.  I hope you enjoy my short story that came to me last night.

A Love Story: Falling in love at Christmas

The air was crisp, and the street was lined with twinkling Christmas lights. It was a magical time of year, and it was about to become even more enchanting.

As the sun began to set, a man and woman strolled down a quiet street, both complete strangers. As they crossed paths their eyes locked, staring as if they’ve seen each other before.  They continued to walk further away from one another, but there was a magnetic pull drawing them in, a soul connection that they couldn’t explain. This sensation intensified until they can no longer resist it. Both stopped in their tracks and turned to one another. Had the Universe conspired to bring them together? With a nervous smile she asked, “Do I know you? It feels like I know you from somewhere. You seem so familiar.”  The man walked closer to her with a curious smile on his face. “Yes, it feels like I know you from somewhere, too.”

Neither could recall where this familiar feeling came from, as he extended his hand toward hers.
“Hi, I’m Jackson.”
Harmony.”, she replies as she grasps his hand. Instantly, a spark ran up their arms and all throughout their bodies, as their souls twisted together in a connection they never felt before, it was a big  jolt…,  They stared into each other eyes, silently asking, “Wow, did you feel that?” The world around them disappeared.
“I don’t want this to end. Do you have time for a cup of coffee, there’s a café a block away.”, Jackson states slowly, still reeling from the sensation shared between them. Harmony agrees and walks in unison with him toward the quaint café she often visits around this time.

They spent hours talking, laughing and learning about each other’s lives. Realizing they had so much in common confirmed that their connection was undeniable.

The days passed quickly with every date they shared: Ice skating under the stars, enjoying hot cocoa and marshmallows during a bonfire, and a movie date with classic holiday films and snuggles on the couch. Christmas was drawing near and they had found something special in each other. It felt like they had known each other for years, so they spent Christmas day together, introducing this whirlwind romance to their loved ones. No one could deny that the two only had eyes for each other. Falling in love during Christmas was the best gift they could ever receive.

Their holiday love blossomed well beyond the season. New memories were made in the winter exploring the city, trying new restaurants and attending events. Spring brought new beginnings and they took their first trip together to a cozy cabin in the woods spending the days hiking, exploring nature, making love and discovering new things about each other. Summer was filled with lazy days at the beach, picnics in the park, and romantic strolls under the moonlight. As the seasons changed, their love only grew stronger. Jackson and Harmony laughed together, cried together, and supported one another through everything.

Years later, as they sat by the fire on Christmas Eve, they reminisced about their chance encounter all those years ago. They were grateful for that magical Christmas season that brought them together and for the love that continues to flourish.  The life they built together was filled with Love, Joy, and Wonderful memories. Their love story was one of a kind and they were blessed to have found each other during the most wonderful time of the year.

Stay tuned for the full story.

Holiday Activities At Home – Blogmas 2023 Day 7

 

Hi, Beauties

While traveling and taking vacations can be a great way to unwind and explore new places, sometimes it’s just not possible. Whether due to budget constraints, work obligations, or health concerns, there are times when staying at home is the best option. But that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice fun and relaxation! There are plenty of holiday activities you can enjoy in the comfort of your own home.

One idea is to have a movie marathon with your loved ones. Choose a theme, such as holiday movies or your favorite genre, and stock up on snacks and drinks. This is a great way to bond with your family or friends while enjoying some classic films. Yes they are DVD’s and they play on Xbox.

If you’re feeling creative, you can also try your hand at Paint & Sip.  This can be a fun and budget-friendly way to add some festive flair to your home. I found some good pictures on Amazon. Plus I did a Virtual & Sip online.

 

 

 

 

If you’re looking for a more relaxing activity, consider reading a good book or starting a new hobby. This is a great way to unwind and pass the time while also improving your knowledge and skills. Here are a few books I will be reading over the winter. Plus I have a few fictional ones on Kindle & Audible.

If you’re not into reading you can always partake in some games and puzzles. I love putting puzzles together. It helps stimulate my brain and keeps it laser focused.

 

 

 

 

 

No matter what you choose to do, the important thing is to enjoy your time at home and make the most of your holiday staycation.

Guest Post by Laquanda – Blogmas 2023 Day 5

Hi, Beauties

Here is another guest post by Laquanda. Sharing what Christmas means to her by answering five holiday questions asked by Goldie!
1.  What does Christmas mean to me?
Christmas to me is a time to spend with family and renew friendships.  I like to reflect what’s important in life and focus on giving gratitude and compassion.  Celebrating with gifts, lights, decorations, and caroling are the ways I enjoy the holiday season.  Christmas is celebrated by many to remember Jesus Christ (who Christians believe is the son of God). I try to embody that spirit for myself.

 

 

 

 

 

2.  What are you looking forward to this Holiday season?

I’m looking forward to spending time with family and friends, decorating the tree, listening to Christmas music, gift-giving,  watching Christmas movies, and eating some good food.  I’m very much looking forward to a kiss to bring in the New Year.

 

 

 

 

3. What is on your Christmas Wishlist?

I have a few items on my Wishlist. I am not picky.

    • I would like to buy or receive Dior Joy perfume.

 

 

 

 

    • I want a Elie file Coach Pocketbook.

 

 

 

 

    • The last item on my wish list is a  pair of UGG Boots Tall Sunburst.

 

 

 

 

4. What are your top three favorite Christmas songs?

    • All I Want for Christmas is You by Mariah Carey (DISCLAIMER: MUSIC BELONGS TO YOUTUBE USER/Mariah Carey)
    • Santa Baby by Eartha Kitt (DISCLAIMER: MUSIC BELONGS TO YOUTUBE USER/Eartha Kitt)
    • Let it Snow by Boys II Men (DISCLAIMER: MUSIC BELONGS TO YOUTUBE USER/Boyz II Men)

5. What is the one movie you must watch during the Holiday season?

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York

 

 

 

 

 

I am always excited to see how others will answer my five holiday questions.  Thank you Laquanda for being a guest on Blogmas. I hope you are enjoying Blogmas so far.

Random Acts of Kindness – Blogmas 2021 Day 2

Hello Beauties!

Let’s have a discussion about Random Acts of Kindness, which can be done throughout the whole year. This December, I am sharing with you my Random Acts of Holiday Kindness and I would love for you to join me.

“What is Random Acts of Kindness?”, you ask. It’s bringing joy and happiness to someone’s life unexpectedly through a small gesture.

Here are a few R. A. O. K. examples:

  1. Buy someone a cup of coffee
  2. Donate a grocery basket to a family
  3. Pay for someone’s meal at a restaurant
  4. Give essential workers a gift card
  5. Donate to a toy drive

As you can see it doesn’t take much to show kindness to someone. The holiday season is about spreading love, peace and joy. So as you go about your days during the month of December don’t forget to show kindness to someone.

Until next time…Enjoy Life 🙂
