    Another Christmas

    “Oh, Bette. I’m sorry that –”

    “No, T, no apologies. It’s ancient history. I’m the one that needs to get over it, and I will. Angie is a great kid. She cares about other people, just like you.”

    Tina bit her lip and looked at Bette steadily for a moment. “I love you, Bette.”

    “I know. I love you too, T.”

    “You’re a great mom, you know that?” Tina asked. “I never would have thought of that.”

    “You’re a great mom, too. And a great wife… and a great lover,” Bette said wickedly, leaning over and giving Tina a playful bite on the neck that made Tina laugh. When Bette pulled back and looked into Tina’s eyes, she saw a light and warmth there that she hadn’t seen in weeks.

    “There it is,” Bette said.

    “What?”

    “That look. I’ve missed it.”

    Tina smiled, then turned serious. “I’m sorry that I’ve been so distant lately, Bette. This will all be over soon, I promise. And then I’ll make it up to you.”

    Bette raised an eyebrow. “Why wait?” Bette said, a teasing note in her voice as she drew Tina toward her. “You can start making it up to me right now.”

    Bette woke up in the middle of the night, an idea rattling around in her head so loudly that it had pulled her out of sleep. She knew exactly what she wanted to give to Tina for Christmas. She rolled over and squinted at the clock. It was still too early to get started. Instead she lay awake plotting and thinking about how to implement her plan until she dozed off again. She woke up the next morning with more energy than she had felt in weeks.

    “Good morning,” Tina said, emerging from the en suite bathroom in a fragrant cloud of steam. She had a spring in her step this morning too, Bette could see. Undoubtedly last night’s activities had something to do with the glow on her face.

    Tina practically twirled toward the window and looked out. “It’s a beautiful day,” she said cheerfully.

    Bette watched Tina move around their bedroom and took note of the unmistakable change in her demeanor. “Yes, it is.”

    1. I just love your holiday stories OMalley! Your curmudgeon Bette in the past has had me tickled with laughter. However, this story, touched my heart…Bette shows the true meaning of Christmas…helping others who are less fortunate, teaching our children to be kind, bringing family and friends together for good times and memories. Who needs Santa Clause…when we have your beautiful and kind Bette! Love this story!!! Thank you! Hugs to ya! Merry Christmas!

    2. Bette and Tina are going to have a perfect Christmas. I see that Bette is still all about those grand gestures even if she’s mellowed. Thank you omalley and happy holidays to you.

    3. That was a nice Christmas Story. I loved that Angie understood what Bette was trying to show her about Christmas and then when she wanted to get more toys for the other kids was just so precious. Glad too that t
