Our Christmas Celebration!

A man wants to give the perfect Christmas Day to his Fiancée. A woman was scheduled to work on Christmas Day, 7am-3pm. She came home without a smile on her face. However, she immediately saw her man cooking in the kitchen &

She asked, “What’s all this?”
Her man replied, “Well, I wanted to cook you a great dinner on Christmas Day & besides, you knew you would be a too tired to cook dinner tonight due to work.”
She said with a surprise, “Oh, how nice! A great dinner on Jesus’s B-Day!”

With said & done, her man cooked her favorite dish of Duck meat, white rice, & lumpias. After dinner, she changed into the most comfortable clothes alive. Soon enough, she hugged her fiancée & sat together on the couch in the living room. She loves watching basketball especially when the Lakers are on. For some reason, her man disliked watching this type of sport but he put the game on the television anyways.

She asked, “What’s this? Basketball…don’t you hate watching it.”
Her man answered, “Well, it’s the only thing that is on and plus, I knew you like watching the Lakers.”
She smiled and hugged him the 2nd time around.

Later that night, he booked tickets to watch “Slumdog Millinaire.” Most of stores and restaurants are closed on Christmas Day expect the movie theaters. So, you could imagine how busy it is in movie theaters. In fact, we had people wearing those ugly bright orange vests directing us where we could park. We felt we were parking in the lot of Disneyland or something. Some parking areas are empty and they block the area by orange cones.
Her man was frustrated how this system works and he couldn’t take it anymore. So, he figured to just drive over the orange cones. The woman couldn’t believe what just happened back there. He parked, stormed out of the car, and pulled out an orange cone that was stuck under his car. He throws out that orange cone with so much force & anger.

She looked at him in shock & he said, “Ahhh, better.”
She said back, “Sweetie, you are breaking the rules & you scared me.”
He replied as each car behind him followed his lead, “Well, look. You see, people also thinks it’s a dumb system. They should be thanking me right now.”
She told him, “Well, I guess that’s another way to give Chritmas gifts to people, eh.”

We finally made it to the movie theater but when he swiped his credit card to the Automatic advanced tickets machine, it gave “Not booking found.” We went inside the building and waited in the line to get tickets the old fashion way. However, it doesn’t make sense why it’s not booked and wanted to check his e-mails on his IPhone for more ticket booking information. His fiancée was the last one using his IPhone to check her e-mails and for some reason, it couldn’t log her out. So, it seems they were in line about 15 minutes & then within 10 minutes, he managed to check his e-mails on the IPhone & they were booked at a different location but the same movie theater name.
They left as quickly as possible & there was a band outside the building. As they were walking pass them, the band sang “Don’t worry about a thing because everything little thing will be all right.” That song got stuck in her head as she continued walking with her man to the car. Sure enough, she prayed about the dilemma.
She was quiet as a mouse while he fussed & mussed his mistake during the drive way home. He tried to call the right movie theater in order to just change time to watch the movie or get a refund. It was a disaster because it always gave a busy line or when you do get a hold of them, it’s the longest introduction of an automatic voice person.

Soon enough, we sat in the dark in the living room & he was still trying to get a hold of the movie theater helpline. Eventually, he found another number to call them but it gave a voicemail to leave a message. He was going to settle with that although in the end of the beep, it gave “This voicemail is full.”

His face turned so red & told his fiancée, “Sorry, you had to witness what happened tonight.”
She stared at him & laughed, “You made my day.”

They both laughed hysterically. The woman said to his man, “I love you.” He smiled & said, “I love you, too.” She hugged him tightly & never let go.

She was quite upset about working on Christmas Day. In any case, she realized from a long & boring day of work, she was extremely thankful to have the greatest gift of all, Love. Little things always get to them but it's best to look at the positive of things. "So, next time you face a common calamity...

Identify the problem.
Pesent it to Jesus.
Do what he says..." (quoted by Max Lucado: A Gentle Thunder Book)

....And most importantly, laugh it off...perhaps, together.
