~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The following morning greets us with a gentle glow, a continuation of the serene holiday atmosphere. Lando suggests a day filled with cozy activities that seamlessly blend relaxation and festive charm. We begin our day in the fort, surrounded by the soft embrace of blankets and twinkling fairy lights. The morning unfolds with shared stories, laughter, and the playful spirit of board games, the joy of the season enhancing every moment.

As the day progresses, Lando proposes a delightful twist to our festive activities—wrapping Christmas presents. Together, we gather an assortment of gifts, ribbons, and decorative paper. The living room transforms into a wrapping haven, with the vibrant colors and glittering bows adding to the festive ambiance. We share tips and tricks, creating beautifully adorned packages that hold the promise of joy for our loved ones.

In the midst of the wrapping session, Lando surprises me with a gift-wrapping playlist, a curated selection of cheerful tunes that infuse the room with even more holiday spirit. The rhythm of the music becomes a backdrop to our shared laughter and the satisfying sound of scissors against wrapping paper.

After completing the wrapping extravaganza, we decide to take a break and unwind. The fort remains our sanctuary as we cuddle beneath the blankets, the glow of fairy lights casting a warm hue on our shared haven. Lando wraps his arms around me, and we revel in the simple pleasure of being close, the soft murmur of conversation punctuated by occasional laughter.

With the afternoon transitioning into evening, we decide to indulge in a classic Christmas movie—Home Alone. We set up a cozy movie-watching station with cushions and blankets, and Lando pops a big bowl of popcorn. The irresistible aroma fills the room as we settle in, the glow of the Christmas tree providing the perfect backdrop to our movie night.

As the movie begins, we lose ourselves in the hilarious antics of Kevin McCallister. The timeless charm of Home Alone combined with the joyous atmosphere of our living room creates a perfect holiday escape. The warmth of the fireplace, the scent of popcorn, and the soft glow of lights contribute to a cinematic experience that feels both nostalgic and magical.

Throughout the movie, we share popcorn, laughter, and stolen glances. Lando's hand finds mine, fingers intertwining as we navigate the familiar scenes together. The sound of our laughter harmonizes with the dialogue on screen, creating a symphony of joy that resonates in the cozy space we've created.

As the credits roll and the movie concludes, we sit in contented silence, savoring the shared experience. The fort becomes a cocoon of comfort, shielding us from the outside world as we bask in the glow of our festive haven.

As we retire for the night, the remnants of wrapping paper and the memory of Home Alone linger in the air. I reflect on the day—a perfect blend of festive activities, shared moments, and the enchanting simplicity of being together during the holiday season. Wrapped in each other's arms, we drift into dreams filled with the magic of Christmas and the anticipation of more joyous moments to come. As we get into the bed I pull him close, my boy, he have his arms around me, cuddeling me close as I play with his beautiful fluffy curls, tomorrow we both are going to go cut our hairs, I'm really scared of lando cutting his hair, what if it turn out like shit?! Will I loose feelings? I don't want that! Everyone on Tik tok say that they can loose feelings after their boyfriends got their hair cut. Anyways.
