Christmas Memories (G) (MickBeth)

[maggatha3]

I joined moonlightaholics in January and missed reading this in Christmas, buuuut, next year I ll be back... it was so intimate watching them decorating and having ornaments that meant something to them.. that is what we do in my family too..

[maggatha3]

Told you I'd be back, and here I am one year later, still amazed at how intimate this moment seems to me. Maybe it is because it was the first time I thought of Mick and Beth celebrating Christmas together, maybe because of the familiarity of the scene. All our ornaments of our tree mean something to us in the family...

I loved how Beth knows to keep away the sad thoughts from Mick. Most people have them in Christmas time, but she finds the right thing to say always.

I love this story. It always makes me feel warm and happy to think of Mick and Beth decorating their tree together and sharing memories, and of Beth helping Mick through the hard parts. That's what love and marriage are about, isn't it?

a tender story....especially sweet this time of year (I love happy stories any time of the year) Beautiful ornaments.... what treasures Mick and Beth truly hold in each other.

Fabulous!

Sweet and precious, like those ornaments to be taken out carefully around the holidays and enjoyed anew every year!

Thank you!

Thank you so much for the lovely comments! Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

And it's nice having help to decorate the office for Christmas!

Awww! MLC, this is such a sweet, loving story.

I love how you included pictures of all the beautiful ornaments. I enjoyed reading about the significance of each of them. I especially like Sherlock and Watson and the snowman on skis. The Bride's Tree Ornaments are really neat.

It's so cute that your family made a guest appearance in this story. As you showed here, the holidays can be very stressful, but they can also be responsible for nice, memorable moments.

Thank you, MLC!

More sweet and mushy MickBeth at Christmas! Okay by me! Thanks for the bump, Marigold! I think you have read all my Memories stories now and I appreciate all of your wonderful comments.

We need a little Christmas

Thank you!

It's been a few years since this one has come out of the box of Christmas decorations. Good thing it was wrapped in tissue paper so I don't have to dust it.

I hope you all still enjoy it.

Sweet MickBeth for Christmas! This one hasn't been hung up for quite awhile!

[Ella713]

This was so very beautiful!! I love how you captured their love story via Christmas Ornaments!!

[allegrita]

Aww, it was so nice to revisit Mick and Beth and their perfect tree!

[MickLifeCrisis]

Thank you so much Ella and Alle for reading and commenting! I love how they revisit each occasion where they bought an ornament.

Merry Christmas!

Oh, this is lovely. I'd never heard of the tradition of Brides Tree Ornaments. Learning about them in the context of Mick and Beth putting them on the tree was delightful!
