A Colorful Christmas story filled with friendships, family and treasures
The reddest ruby for Christmas is a story for all to read and enjoy.
My two best friends and I made plans to go Christmas shopping. It was Christmas Eve and I wanted to spend the day with Jenny and Amanda. We have been best friends ever since my husband and I moved into the neighborhood 7 years ago. They both had two children, but I was pregnant with my first child and we were all excited. I felt like this was going to be one of my greatest Christmas gifts I could receive. Having a baby in the holiday season.
So off to Neiman Marcus we went. It was cold and clouds covered the sky. It was my kind of day. I absolutely love the cold weather.
We gave the keys to the kind gentleman working the valet station and made a beeline into Neiman. Amanda, Jenny and I went shopping confident that we were going to find the most thoughtful Christmas gifts that we set out to buy.
Jenny immediately found her mom’s gift and Amanda bought two gifts for her hubby. I, on the other hand, took my time looking for a special gift for myself.
Walking through Neiman I decided to head on over to the Louis Vuitton store because I knew I would find that very special Christmas gift to go under my beautifully decorated tree.
Amanda, Jenny and I walked around LV until I found the perfect pocketbook. It had my name written all over it. I purchased it with love.
As the three of us sat waiting for my handbag to be monogrammed with my three initials, GTB, we sat eating macarons and drinking sparkling water that the store manager kindly offered us. The presentation of the macarons and sparkling water was lovely and we felt like Christmas queens.
After all, it was Christmas and we wanted to enjoy every second of the season.
When the manager brought my beautifully packaged gift we went to a few other stores window browsing.
We walked through the mall window shopping and had a ball talking and laughing. The mall was merry and bright and filled with Christmas shoppers from one end of the mall to the other. I loved seeing how happy the people were. Christmas has a wonderful way of pouring out love from the hearts of people everywhere.
Now time was quickly passing and winding down as it always does when you are in the company of love.
Jenny, Amanda and I were hungry and it was time for us to have an early dinner and make our way home afterwards. I was tired and felt I needed to nap.
We left the mall and went to Capital Grille for dinner. The food was incredible. I had lobster Mac and Cheese. Talk about delicious. Jenny and Amanda shared a plate of large crab cakes and their sides. They said it was more than delish.
Right after my best friends and I engaged in an awesome conversation and amazing food we headed home. We had a fantastic time. Three close friends sharing, spending and showing love one to another is simply an awesome way to spend part of the holiday season and we appreciate one another and our friendship more than we could ever express with words.
Amanda, Jenny and I hugged and they headed home.
Now that we were all home safe and sound it was time for me to relax and enjoy a warm cup of chamomile tea. My husband was on his way home and I wanted his company for the rest of the evening.
As I sat comfy and cozy awaiting my husband’s arrival I fell asleep. It wasn’t too long after I fell asleep that my husband came home and planted a warm kiss from his lips to my rosy red cheek. What a lovely way to wake up.
Not long after my husband’s sweet warm kiss woke me up we sat talking for a few minutes before we turned on Home Alone and fell asleep not long thereafter.
When we woke up I gave my husband his Christmas gifts and I opened mine from him.
I still had another gift to open which was my Christmas present to myself.
Looking for my lovely gift I noticed that the packaging was completely different. However, I didn’t say a word, but I must say that I was scratching my head puzzled. I opened my gift that I bought from the LV store to show my husband.
As I opened the gift I even noticed that the pocketbook had a little more weight to it than it did at the store. I opened my beautiful bag and found another gift inside. There was the most stunning red gift box inside my handbag. I nervously, but excitedly removed the gift box from my LV bag.
My husband said, Merry Christmas beautiful! Open your gift. When I opened the gift box my eyes saw the reddest Ruby ring I had ever seen in my life. It was, indeed, the reddest Ruby to shine in my eyes.
The day had dawned and Christmas was shining through the window of our comfortable living room. My husband and I enjoyed the day. I made brunch and then we had Christmas dinner. By the end of the night we were on our way to the hospital.
Little Baby Cyn was born. She was fine and healthy. My husband and I looked at each and said Merry Christmas. Love has come into the world. We are still smiling.
May the reddest ruby for Christmas warm your spirit and bless your heart.
