To be with her. Alone.

We are going to spend the Christmas holiday alone. My Italian true love and I.  Without the usual family social obligations. I can't think of a better way to spend a holiday.  Exclusively with my true love. Just the two of us. Too many holidays are ruined.  Especially Christmas. By going through rituals.  Obligatory stuff. I much prefer solitude. With my most precious loved one. Perhaps staying at home. But if she wishes to go to church, I will go, too. To be with her.  Alone. --Jim Broede
