Leon didn't like Christmas. He generally disliked everything about it, preferring to spend most of his Christmases like any normal day, alone. You, on the other hand, were almost like the epitome of the Christmas spirit. You loved the carols, the decorations, the presents and everything to do with the holidays.
As was tradition in most households, your family would have a big Christmas dinner, and of course you wanted to bring Leon, since he was your boyfriend and it was a great opportunity to introduce him to your whole family.
As you hung out together in his apartment, you thought about how to broach the subject with him, hoping he would agree to accompany you but his response was blunt. "No. You know I don't like Christmas."
He turned down your invitation without a second thought. He wanted to stay away from anything to do with holidays.
