After a few cold days & nights we were gifted with a mild Sunday yesterday so we spent the day outside doing some decorating for Christmas. The mild temperature continued into evening so we turned on the patio heater and sat around it with our wine glasses.
The sky was mostly clear, the quarter moon hanging over our heads, the brightness of Jupiter off in the distant sky. And it was oh so blissfully quiet outside.
So, you know, kinda magical.
Out of nowhere I was compelled to start singing, quietly, Christmas songs. The holy ones, which seemed appropriate for the night that surrounded us. JP joined in and there we were, two crazies sitting outside on a cool December night, quietly singing Christmas songs together...on the weekend of our 15th wedding anniversary. Under the moon and stars. Talk about making memories.
Some people need the fancy stuff - expensive gifts, vacations, etc. Not me. I have everything I could ever want - and then some - with the guy who sits outside with me in almost winter, quietly singing songs.
