Christmas with the Norris family

16 December

The following morning, I wake up feeling noticeably better, the remnants of weakness fading away. Lando is already up, busy in the kitchen preparing a special breakfast. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and something delicious wafts through the air.

I find a note on my nightstand that reads, "Good morning, my love. Breakfast is almost ready. Take your time, and join me when you're ready. - Lando."

I smile, appreciating his thoughtful gesture. Slowly getting out of bed, I make my way to the kitchen, where Lando greets me with a warm smile. The table is adorned with festive decorations, and a plate of pancakes—shaped like snowflakes—awaits me. "You didn't burn the kitchen down lan?" I giggle and he looks at me, he have no top on just his grey pjs pants "I managed to not Lu" he giggle.

Over breakfast, we share stories and laughter, savoring the simple joy of being together. Lando's company proves to be the best medicine, and I can't help but feel grateful for his constant support.

After breakfast, we decide to venture out for a short stroll in the crisp winter air. The world outside is adorned with holiday decorations, and the streets are alive with the festive spirit. Lando wraps his arm around me, and we meander through the winter wonderland, taking in the sights and sounds of the season. We wasn't out for too long since I'm still a bit sick but a lot better than the last two days.

Upon returning home, we engage in a cozy afternoon of baking Christmas cookies. Flour dusts the kitchen, and sweet scents fill the air as we create an assortment of festive treats. Lando insists on a taste test, and we share warm cookies straight from the oven, reveling in the joy of simple pleasures. I stand up on my tippy toes to kiss him, he smiles and lean down to kiss me. Not my fault he is short but I'm shorter.

As evening approaches, we decide to attend a local Christmas market, where twinkling lights and cheerful carols envelop the surroundings. Hand in hand, we explore the stalls, finding unique gifts for each other and relishing the enchanting atmosphere.

Back home, we cozy up by the fireplace, enjoying the warmth and glow of the flames. Lando surprises me with a small gift, carefully wrapped and filled with thoughtfulness. It's a reminder that love is not just spoken but expressed through gestures that touch the heart. It's a little bracelet with his initials on, he reminds me how important I am for him and everyone else.

As we retire for the night, I reflect on the past two days filled with love, laughter, and the magic of the holiday season. With Lando by my side, every moment becomes a treasured memory, turning a simple Christmas into something truly extraordinary. We both fall asleep early tangled in each other's cuddles.
