SUMMER
NOEL.
Star.
Eve.
Belle.
Ivy.
Holly.
Or even Mary (if you’re feeling religious) would’ve been more
appropriate than what my parents named their December 24th baby.
Nothing says the holidays, snow, or Christmas magic like the name
Summer.
Summer.
Seriously?

--- --- --- --- ---
I blame my very non-Christmasy name for why my boyfriend hasn’t
fully grasped my obsession with Christmas. Okay, obsession might be too
strong of a word. It’s not like I keep decorations up year-round or sleep with
a stuffed elf. I just like the season and all the events leading up to it. Plus,
it’s my birthday month, so this time of year is extra special to me.
So it’s more like enthusiasm.
I am enthusiastic about Christmastime.
Who isn’t?
But if my parents had named me something more festive, this revelation
wouldn’t be a revelation at all. It would just be common knowledge,
something Justin would have anticipated and planned for. Nobody expects
Summer Stanworth to be obsessed with Christmas and everything leading
up to it. But if my name had been Angel Stanworth, well then, that’s par for
the course.
And it’s not like Justin doesn’t know I like Christmas. We’ve been
dating for nine months. I’ve dropped hints here and there and plan to fully
reveal my love for the holidays during the next few weeks. I’m not hiding
anything. I’m easing him into it slowly, which is more than my brother-inlaw Rick did when it came to his passion for hunting.
Juliet met Rick in December, married him by July, and BAM! By the
end of August, he was gone hunting every single weekend. She had no clue.
Completely in the dark about the fact that the man she married would be
absent from mid-August through November, chasing after animals. Going
on a family trip in the fall? Forget about it. Having an October baby? Only
if Juliet wants me holding her hand at the birth instead of Rick. That, my
friends, is why you date someone through all four seasons before you get
engaged and marry them.
Christmas just happens to be the last season Justin and I have to go
through, and if all goes well—assuming he can handle my holiday
enthusiasm—an engagement is on the horizon. I mean, I’m hoping an
engagement is on the horizon. Ever since I was a little girl, all I really
wanted was to get married and start my own family. And I will. This will be
my last holiday season as a single woman. I’m manifesting.
Do you know what else is on the horizon?
Thanksgiving.
Which kicks off the beginning of a month-long celebration full of
family traditions, Christmas parties, and holiday events. Meaning, I can’t
hide my obsession any longer. It’s about to slap us in the face. If I’m being
honest, our other problems are about to slap us in the face as well because
you can’t tell your workaholic boyfriend about your calendar full of
activities during his busiest time of year and have him be excited about it.
Can you?
Because if you can, I’d like to know exactly how you do it without
starting World War Three.
