All I want for Christmas is…



So you’ve done all your holiday shopping, but have you considered the one thing your girlfriend might want more than anything this time of year? Yes, we are talking about an engagement ring. Some people might say Christmas is not the time to propose, that it should have its own separate special day.

But no one said you had to propose right on Christmas. There is Christmas Eve with family and friends, or the many holiday parties that you’ve likely been invited to. Of course, you might find that special moment when the two of you are alone away from the hustle and bustle. If your girlfriend’s favorite holiday is Christmas and all she’s done is smile because it is the holiday season the last few weeks, then this could be the perfect time to pop the big question.

But if Christmas Day is the right time for you, here’s how you could go about the proposal. First, give her a gift you know she’d really love. For this, you might have to actually LISTEN to her while you’re driving together in the car from place to place. You would be amazed at how much you can pick up from your loved one as to what they like and don’t like in a ten minute car ride.

After all, if she so happens to say, you know, I’d love to go the Nutcracker sometime. You might want to take a mental note, so that if you are driving by yourself and the radio ad so happens to mention the Nutcracker is in town, you can get the perfect gift.

So now the gift is open, you’ve enjoyed dinner with family and friends. Now you can do this one of two ways, you can propose in front of family and friends, or take her for a nice private walk. Think about it, she may have thought the day has come and gone and it couldn’t get any better, but you’ve surprised once more, and hopefully, she says the words you want to her: YES!

Whatever your holiday celebration may be, Hanukkah, Christmas or Festivas for the rest of us, Happy Holidays from the BLUEman!
