Christmas is my favorite time of the year. I always dream of a white Christmas but seldom see one. It was Christmas Eve a few years back and the snow began to fall while I was at work. I was already excited because it was Christmas Eve and to see snow falling just excited me all the more. When I left work around 3PM there was a light layer of snow on the ground. I needed to pickup a few last gifts so off I went in my Mustang with the snow falling listening to Christmas music...perfect.
I didn't call Lisa to tell her I was off. I headed straight to Target to pickup some movies and music to give as gifts. Once I was done making my selections I headed up the isle toward the long line of cash registers. In the distance I saw a strikingly beautiful woman with a big warm smile coming my way and she took my breath away. Then I realized it was Lisa and I experienced that warm "falling in love" feeling.
For a moment the song by Dan Fogelberg called Same Old Lang Syne began to play in my mind. "Met my old lover in the grocery store, the snow was falling Christmas Eve" are the opening lines to the song. I thought "what if we were no longer together" and as quickly as the thought crossed my mind I realized just how much I love her and that I would never want her to be my old lover that I met in a grocery store.
