All I want for Christmas


                      


Every year when Christmas gets closer, Sean and I talk about “how” we want to do gifts this time. And so far every year is different. We’ve done traditional surprise gifts after shopping for each other. 
And creative stocking stuffers only.  
 And set a $20 or $30 limit before. 
This year, I said, we don’t need anything. 
"I just want to spend time with you.” 
And that sort of became the unofficial theme. 

It is still a little difficult with his 2 away tournaments right around Christmas time, but we’re taking every moment we can. It’s all about taking as much time off work as possible…

...popcorn and a movie…cider and a fire…Christmas lights and Christmas music...Pajamas and slippers...Staying up late and sleeping in... 
All while safe and warm in the comfortable confines of home. 
Together. 
A luxury we must not undervalue when there are people suffering and hearts breaking. 
We are together and we are blessed.

I don't want a lot for Christmas 
There is just one thing I need 
 
 
I don't care about the presents 
Underneath the Christmas tree

                        

I just want you for my own 
More than you could ever know 

 

Make my wish come true 
All I want for Christmas Is you

 

                                   I don't need to hang my stocking 
                                         There upon the fireplace 
 

Santa Claus won't make me happy 
With a toy on Christmas Day 

 

                                               I just want you for my own 
                                           More than you could ever know 

 
                                                
                                              Make my wish come true 
                                        All I want for Christmas is you

                     

Oh I won't ask for much this Christmas 
I won't even wish for snow 
 

And I'm just gonna keep on waiting 
Underneath the mistletoe 


I won't make a list and send it 
To the North Pole for Saint Nick 

 

I won't even stay awake to 
                                       Hear those magic reindeer click
                                                    
                                       'Cause I just want you here tonight 
                                              Holding on to me so tight 

 
                                                  
                                                 What more can I do? 
                                        Baby all I want for Christmas is you
                                                                                
                                          Oh all the lights are shining 
                                               So brightly everywhere 
 

 And the sound of children's
laughter fills the air


And everyone is singing
 I hear those sleighbells ringing

 

Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas 
This is all I'm asking for 
 

I just want to see my baby 
Standing right outside my door 


                                          Oh I just want you for my own 
                                          More than you could ever know 
 
                                          
                                         Make my wish come true 
                               Baby all I want for Christmas is You. 


 


MERRY Christmas!!
