”Those Christmas lights light up the street, down where the sea and city meet. May all your troubles soon be gone—oh Christmas lights, keep shinin’ on.”

You and Lana, your soon-to-be wife, are currently celebrating your first Christmas in a shared house, and honestly, the holiday has never felt so full of love.

From decorating the outside of your cozy dream house, going to Christmas tree farms and picking out a perfect one, and to decorating said tree, it was all so much more fun when you had someone special to share it with.

Right now, you two are looking through your stash of ornaments. Some are inherited from her family or her childhood, some from yours, and some that you’ve bought over the 4 years that you’ve been together. Holiday music softly plays in the background, matching the cozy ambiance perfectly.

“Hey, look at this little guy.” She grins, holding up a small and fluffy cat deep in one of the boxes. Looks familiar—it’s probably one your parents got you as a kid. “He’s funky.”
