We were sitting in the living room when Ashley picked up her guitar and started playing for everyone…

“Great
Fake plastic Mistletoe
Wrap me in a great big bow
And tear me apart
It’s Christmas time
So open up the flood gates
Tell me that you’ll be late
And rip me apart
Cause you say that, you say that things will be alright
But I’ve heard that, I’ve heard that so many times and I know that
It’s not Christmas if the snow don’t fall
And I’m still standing here three feet small
Lose our troubles because after all
It’s Christmas time
It’s Christmas time…
Cold
Icing on the walkways
Slip in to the games we play
We’re falling apart
A great big house
That’s made out of ginger bread
Crumbles to the ground
We’re breaking apart
But you said that, you said that things would be alright
But I’ve heard that, I’ve heard that so many times and I know that
It’s not Christmas if the snow don’t fall
And I’m still standing here three feet small
Lose our troubles because after all
It’s Christmas time
And I’ve been waiting for you to come
And it’s hard cause I feel so alone
And I just want you to come home
Waiting for you to come
And it’s hard cause I feel so alone
And I just want you to come home

It’s not Christmas if the snow don’t fall
And I’m still standing here three feet small
Lose our troubles because after all
It’s Christmas time
It’s not Christmas if the snow don’t fall
You’re not here to keep me safe and warm
Lose our troubles because after all
It’s Christmas time
It’s Christmas time again
And all your friends, all your friends
Are smiling
It’s Christmas time…” she finished and we all clapped for her then I got up when she stood and I went over and gave her a kiss

“Spencer honey, I have to see that ring again…” Ashley’s mom said

“isn’t it gorgeous…” my mom added as I held my finger out to Ashley’s mom

“it really is…my daughter was always good at picking out jewelry that meant something…” she said “…Aiden remember when she bought you that chain necklace from tiffany’s for your graduation gift?” she asked him

“uh…yeah, I’m wearing it now actually…” he said showing it

“you still wear that?” Ashley asked him sitting on the couch feeling awkward from her mom bringing it up, but Aiden noticed she felt awkward
