Those of you who follow me by now know my (39M) wife, Clara (35F now, happy belated birthday, love) is deliciously depraved in bed. I try to earn every bit of the emotional, spiritual and physical affection she shows me and the work I put in everywhere else in the house pays off in the bedroom, so to speak.
But this year, I must have been on the the fucking angels list because *this year* Christmas came quickly and is coming often.
And by Christmas I mean me.
Now we’re not Christian, not by a long shot. But we’re certainly thankful for Jesus being born if you’re into that sort of thing because as you’ll see, Catholic traditions are often quite useful for more… Pagan activities.
For the past few years we’ve put up the tree on the first of the month and after decorating it, our first presents to each other are Advent Calendars with little gifts. I did a Sephora one for her last year and she did a Sake one for me the year before that. Well this year I had gotten a promotion with a *hefty* pay raise and so I got her a jewelry Advent Calendar that has a small piece of jewelry in each little box. Nothing crazy fancy but definitely nicer the closer you got to Christmas. And it was kind of sizeable. She loved the first gift which was a pair of cheap earrings she had seen a few months back and never got around to buying.
