10 things I want for Christmas: Presence over Presents.

By Diamond · On December 17, 2015

1. Time
I want time. I want to take it all in. I want one moment where I can enjoy Christmas with you. Let’s put our phones down and take a walk around the block to enjoy the cold weather and Christmas lights. Let’s hold hands and have a conversation. Time goes by so quickly, and it’s the slow moments I remember. Let’s be present.

2. A Fire
I want to sit by the fire with you. Let’s lay a blanket next to the fire and enjoy a glass of wine together. Let’s be present.

3. Hot Chocolate and Conversation
I want to sit on a front porch with you and sip hot chocolate. Let’s be present.

4. I Want to Sing
Let’s put on some Christmas carols in the car and sing obnoxiously. Let’s be present.

5. I Want to Dance
I want to hear “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas” in the background while I’m in your arms. Let’s be present.

6. A Kiss
I want to kiss you under the mistletoe. Let’s be present.

7. I Want to Watch a Classic Christmas Movie

I want to put on PJs and cuddle up on the couch and watch a classic Christmas movie with you. Let’s be present.

8. I Want to Build a Snowman
Let’s go in the front yard and build a snowman, or take a road trip together to find snow. Let’s be present.

9. I Want to have a Snowball Fight
I want to be silly. I want to laugh with you… and I want to throw a snowball right in your face. Let’s be present.

10. I want us to be present.

… Because at the end of the day, all I want for Christmas is you.

Love,
Diamond
