Belated Christmas Surprise in Bed

This isn’t going to be what you think from first glance. It has nothing to do with nookie. It does involve a belated Christmas gift that was delivered to me in bed, though. In one of the most romantic, delightful, surprising ways. Let’s go back a couple of days. It’ll make more sense why this gesture was even that much more romantic.

Should an Engagement Ring be a Christmas Gift?

Marriage proposals are special anytime of the year and whenever they occur. Receiving a diamond engagement ring from the love of her life is a very exciting and wonderful experience for a woman. Men choose many different times and ways to purpose to their mate. However, should the gift be given as an occasion all in itself or is it okay for the ring to coincide with another special event or holiday? For example, should men give engagement rings as birthday or Christmas gifts? Should these gifts be given when a special occasion already exists? I think the answer to … Continue reading →
