December Magic Makes Way for a Blooming Love (2025)

Seth and Christy had been dating for a year and half now. Each holiday they spent together he could see in her eyes a light as if she was waiting for a ring from him. And though he already done had the ring, he was waiting for a special time to give it her. He wanted to do this right and make it something she would remember for the rest of her life. So it was the beginning of December when Seth decided that Christmas would be the perfect time to ask her to marry him. He had the ring and when he was going to do it, all he needed now was a plan on how to make this Christmas one she would not only remember for the rest of her life but would always keep close in her heart. Besides, it would give her something to tell their future children and grandchildren about. He kept his options and ideas open as they went back on the road for the next two weeks. It was the week before Christmas when they were heading home that an idea hit him and the smile on his face grew big. He knew that it had been snowing while they were gone and there was a chance for more while they were home, which was perfect because he knew then he could build something very romantic around the snow.

It was then that Christy was coming back from the bathroom, who noticed the usual big smile on Seth's face. It was as if he was thinking of something that he either was planning on doing or already did. She didn't say anything at the moment as she sat back down next to him in her seat. Neither one of them said anything for a while as the plane continued flying them and several other passengers to their destinations. As Seth was looking out the window, noticing how the clouds look dark and gray and cold, he finally turned and once again looked at Christy. He reached over and took her hand into his and gave it a little light squeeze. Then he began to speak to her, still wearing that unusual smile on his face, but not saying anything that would give anything away before he was ready too. "So, my love," Seth started as he began to speak to her after several minutes of not talking. "What do you think about it snowing at home?" he said knowing that even though he was making small talk and talking about the weather, she had no idea what he was planning, though he knew he would eventually have to tell her something that might make her suspicious but he couldn't help that. "Oh, before I forget," he started to tell her. "Probably in the next day or two, I will be staying in town for some personal business that I need to do," he told her. "This will give you time to decorate the house and what not for Christmas," he said with that same unusual smile on his face.

Christy tilted her head slightly as she laced her fingers with his, her thumb brushing softly over his knuckles. She had noticed the smile too—how it lingered just a little longer than usual—and while she didn't know why, it made her heart flutter anyway.

"Well," she said with a small laugh, glancing out the window before looking back at him, "you know I love the snow. It makes everything feel quieter... calmer. And way more Christmas-y." Her eyes softened. "So I think it's perfect timing."

When he mentioned staying in town for "personal business," her brows lifted just a touch, curiosity flickering across her face. But she didn't press him. She trusted him—completely.

"Decorate the house, huh?" she teased lightly, squeezing his hand back. "So basically you're leaving me unsupervised with lights, ornaments, and Christmas music on repeat?"

She smiled warmly, leaning a little closer to him. "I can handle that. I'll make it cozy. Tree, stockings, the whole thing." Her voice gentled as she added, "Just make sure you don't work too hard with whatever you've got planned. I'll be right there when you get back."

She rested her head briefly against his shoulder, completely unaware that every word, every smile, was making Seth even more certain that Christmas would be the moment their lives changed forever.
