We wish you a Merry Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christmas

And a happy new year

Dear Carol Bells,

First and foremost, I want to say Merry Christmas!

Next, I am praying and hoping like crazy that everything went how I imagined it would. I hope that last night you had accepted me (not as a boyfriend yet or anything), but as the face behind the letters. I hope I was able to bring you home with me to meet my family and enjoy the evening with us. If not, well, this letter will be a little awkward so might as well not finish it.

Finally, we made it! And I'm hoping that today we'll be able to celebrate together.

Carol, I am so relieved at how everything turned out. I was very self-conscious about doing this whole letter writing thing. I didn't know how it would turn out. It could've ended horribly. But alas, it worked in our favor. I managed to help you love this season and you gave me the courage to approach you.

Carol, this letter might be a bit long because I feel like I won't need to communicate this way anymore. So I wanted to conclude with one thing; I truly am in love with you.

I will say this to you in person, but I just feel like it'll be a bit more meaningful in a letter since it helped bring us together. I don't think I could have accomplished this if I had approached you physically. I think, because I took the time to write these out and drop them off, it showed how serious I was about you.

I love you, Carol Bells, and I meant every word I ever told you about caring for you and wanting to be by your side. I meant every word about being the person to help carry and remove your burdens.

I will do my very best to treasure you and love you and not disappoint you. I'm human and therefore not perfect. I will hurt you emotionally sometimes and I apologize in advance for that. I won't always agree with you and might make you cry. Know that it will always be on accident. That I won't ever do anything to hurt you on purpose.

I will work hard to make you laugh and be happy and carry on without a care in the world. I will try my dang best to provide you with a freedom like you never experienced before.

I hope you can give me that chance, Miss Bells. I hope you can let me be your Christmas miracle and your everyday miracle. I hope that you can let me be there for you.

And last but not least, I hope that you can let yourself take a chance. I won't force you into anything but simply give you a choice because it's always been yours to make.

Yours,

Nicholas Saints

Y'all, I'm gonna cry. I seriously love this short story so much because it started off with the same idea of a guy who wanted to reach out to this silently suffering girl. But it turned into a twenty-five letter story because I didn't quite like how the first draft was turning out. 

And I have to admit, I love how I ended it as well. I personally want a Saint Nick in my life. Someone who will love me that much and respect me and give me that choice without making me feel pressured. 

Gah! I've heard about authors falling in love with their own characters and I can see how that is now xD 

But thanks so much for sticking with me and reading along! I hope y'all enjoyed reading this Christmas short story as much as I enjoyed writing it out!!! 

And feel free to check out my other works if you want :))) 

Once again, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
