The Perfect Christmas Tree
Just as she heard the car door slam in the driveway, Bette gently straightened the last sparkling ornament, moving it a fraction of an inch to the left. Taking a step back, she let out a satisfying sigh.
It’s so beautiful! She smiled. Angie will love it…it’s fit for a queen…it’s the perfect Christmas tree!
Quickly looking around to make sure everything was in its place, she made her way to the front door, wanting to greet Tina and Angie at the threshold.
As Tina started up the steps, packages in one arm, Angelica hanging onto the other, the front door opened, illuminating her gorgeous partner.
"Hi Babe," Tina smiled, feeling her breath catch once again at the beautiful site in front of her.
"Hi Babe," Angelica mimicked her mother, waving her hand at Bette.
Laughing, Bette bent down and swept Angelica into her arms. "Who’s your Babe, Baby Girl?"
"You are!" Angelica giggled with glee, pressing her finger into Bette’s chest emphasizing her point.
"I am?" Bette asked, playing along with her daughter.
"Yeah! Me and mama’s Babe."
Bette squeezed Angelica tight in her arms, kissing her on each cheek. "Well, let’s go inside and see what your and mama’s Babe did while you were out shopping!"
"Uh oh…a surprise." Tina giggled at Angelica. "And, left to her own devices. I don’t know if we should be excited, or scared!"
"Hey…" Bette protested. "Just you wait, this is a good surprise."
Lifting an eyebrow, Tina wasn’t convinced for one second. She had known Bette for too many years now to know that what constituted a good surprise to Bette, wasn’t necessarily a good surprise to the rest of the family. But, not wanting to ruin the moment for her life partner, she smiled and leaned forward, placing a gentle kiss on Bette’s cheek.
"Okay, my love…show your family what you have been up to."
Bette stared into the hazel eyes that reflected profound love. There was no judgement in them, only love…and a slight mischievous twinkle.
"Close your eyes," she whispered into Tina’s ear. "You too Boo. Close your eyes." Mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled before each doing what their Babe asked them to do, and closed their eyes. Taking Tina’s free hand, Bette led them into the livingroom, positioning Tina in just the right spot for the best view. "Hurry MaBe. I wanna see." Angie said as she started to wiggle with impatience, still being held by Bette.

They may go but they are not altogether gone. We can no longer touch them, yet they still touch us. And as long as I’m being philosophical, why does eggnog taste so wretched?

Thank you for this wonderful and probably one of the most perfect Tibette Christmas story! What better way to honor and remember the ones you love… I didn’t know tbsaver, only through her story, which spoke very highly of her, just like you did. We all think of you on this anniversary, and be sure that the special person that she was will always be remembered. Thank you, have a great Christmas, and lots, lots, lots of love to you as well!

So beautiful and so great to read one of your stories again.
Sea – absolutely wonderful as always from you. Funnily i was sorting some papers out the other day and ended up re-re-re-re reading Walk on the wild side which is my all time fav LWord story because of how well written it and the originality of the concept. Thank you for this A x

Seahurst, a most delicious story! I’m glad to see you writing again, I have missed your stories.
Merry Christmas to you and your family. What an intimate setting for the extended family, hopefully one that will continue for many years to come.
What a lovely, heartwarming Christmas story and tribute to a good soul. I’ve also lost a dear friend a couple of years ago. I still miss her every now and then but I know our friendship and all the memories we shared are and will be forever etched in my heart. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and may the New Year usher in good health, more love, joy and blessings for you and the ones you love. Thank you, Seahurst! :)
Lovely story. Your quite right, more love, always just simply, more love is needed in this life ….thank you.
