Chapter Nine

A few hours later, I stood back and looked at our tree draped in tinsel and with warm red and gold baubles hanging from nearly every branch.

“You look magical,” I said to the bushy spruce, and then slumped in the chair, hugging a red velvet cushion complete with Rudolf and an LED light-up nose. I could almost smell cinnamon in the air and taste a delicious sweet and spicy Christmas pudding covered in custard.

“You were right,” I said to Thomas.

“Always am,” Thomas said absentmindedly as he pinned holly around the fireplace. “What about this time?”

“We should have put the decorations up earlier. I already feel a million times better.”

Thomas stepped back to check his handiwork, and I rose and turned the main light off so we could admire the soft twinkle from the tree-lights as they reflected on the walls and other decorations.

“It’s starting to feel a lot like Christmas,” Thomas said, linking his arm in mine.

“It’s also starting to get late,” I said, noting the almost pitch blackness outside. “What time is it?”

Thomas walked over to the fireplace and picked up his phone. “Coming up for nine. We’d better get going.”

“We had,” I agreed. “Though, it might be an idea to change first.”

“If you’re getting naked, I can think of something else we need to do that won’t take very long.” Thomas pumped his eyebrows at me and I giggled.

“Oh, really,” I said.

“Really.”

I laughed as Thomas chased me out the room and up the stairs.
