Merry First Christmas, my love! ๐
What can I say? I hope I'm not doing too much here but honestly, I don't care if I am. It's not even your birthday, and yet here I am, wanting to celebrate YOU because you deserve to be celebrated every single day. There's something magical about this Christmas, though. Maybe it's because the world is wrapped in fairy lights and the air smells like cinnamon and pine. Maybe it's the way snow seems to make everything feel like we're living inside a snow globe. But mostly, I think, it's because I get to spend it with you.
It's been two months now of us being together, and I want you to absolutely know that these past weeks have been the most amazing of my life. I couldn't ask for anything more. You've been so wonderful to me so open, so accepting, never judgmental. You've been there for me, listened to me, held space for me in ways I didn't even know I needed. But most importantly, you've been so incredibly supportive from day one, even when you didn't have to be. You've been so understanding, so patient, so beautifully YOU.
I wanted to make this Christmas extra special for you, to show you how much I love you. It's 2:30 in the morning right now, Christmas Day itself, and you're sleeping so beautifully on the call. I can hear your gentle breathing and it makes my heart so full. I'm absolutely exhausted, but I'm here making this silly little website for you because I'd go to the ends of the earth just to show you how much I cherish and appreciate you.
There's something about Christmas that makes love feel even more magical, isn't there? The way candles flicker in windows, the way the world seems to slow down just enough for us to hold each other closer. I think of you and I think of warmth like hot chocolate by a fire, like fairy lights twinkling in the dark, like coming home after being out in the cold. You ARE my warmth, my comfort, my home.
Thank you for all you do. Thank you for being you. Thank you for choosing me. Thank you for every late-night call, every laugh we've shared, every moment where you've made my world brighter just by existing in it.
I hope you love your gifts. I hope this Christmas feels as special to you as it does to me. And I hope you know that no matter what the new year brings, I want to face it all with you by my side.
Merry First Christmas again, my beautiful flower. Here's to many, many more. ๐นโจ
