After being frustrated with feeling like we had no time for one another during the holidays, and year after year not getting our true love a gift; yet not feeling like we should because what do we need that we don&#8217;t provide for one another all year long, we came up with this movie plan.   It was our way of keeping Christmas simple and more about time together then about stuff.  We get a little something but the biggest gift is the time we carve out that night (no matter how busy it has been) to snuggle together and relax amidst all the Christmas hubbub.  Garnet is my best friend and true love, THE ONE I really want to spend quality time with over the holidays!<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.chrysaliscafe.com\/2010\/06\/introduction-to-marriage-monday.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i61.photobucket.com\/albums\/h79\/chrysaliscom\/MarriageMondayGraphic2.jpg\" border=\"0\" title=\"First Monday of every month\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>TTFN<br \/><!--Session data--><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Private Christmas Tradition There is one particular Christmas tradition that my husband and I share alone.
