Don't rock the boat this holiday season

[Commander Wallace]

With the holiday season upon us, many people are fortunate to have someone special in their lives to share the holidays with. Others are not so lucky. I consider myself fortunate most of the time, especially during the holiday season. On the other hand, I very much despise getting out ladders and hanging lights as the lights are always a tangled mess and don't light. Once again, This holiday season, I was asked to hang the lights at an inconvenient time and an argument with my lady ensued. I was in a hurry and did my best. Later, I wrote her an apology and off I went.








Hi sweetheart.

I am sorry about getting into an argument about putting up the Christmas lights. I guess that sometimes I feel like you are pushing me too hard when you want something. I realize that I was wrong and I am apologizing for being such a hard-headed guy. All I want is for you to be happy and be able to enjoy the holiday season. Nothing brightens the Christmas spirit like Christmas lights! I took the time to hang the lights for you today; and now I will be off to play some golf..


Again, I am very sorry for the way I acted yesterday. I'll be home late.


I returned home and my understanding better half was not at home but she left me a note which i found very thoughtful of her. What I found on the other hand was not quite so thoughtful.



Her Response

Thank you for that heart-felt apology. I don't often get an apology from you, and I truly appreciate it. I, too, felt bad about the argument and wanted to apologize. I realize that I can sometimes be a little pushy. I will try to respect your feelings from now on. Thank you for taking the time to hang the Christmas lights for me. It really means a lot. Since you were so great about hanging the lights, I also washed one of your trucks for you. I can't wait till you come home and I can see your smiling face.


I love you.

See you soon.









Happy Holidays to everyone and all the best in the New Year. I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season. I also hope your holiday season is devoid of stress of any kind
