You never posted about how your apologist QA session went . <| sep |> I say yeah , it ' s worth it . When I was younger I used to worry about giftgiving with new ' friends ' around christmas time and such , but now I just don ' t care . I ' ve let go of those concerns and am just left with the positives of dating around the holidays mainly the nice warm fuzzy feelings that tend to get passed around at this time of year . It ' s pretty cute to meet someone in a coffee shop when it ' s all christmassy inside , the music is playing , the barristas are jollier than usual , you ' re drinking candycane mochaspressos out of Rudolph mugs , and big fluffy snowflakes are collecting on the window . After you leave the cafe you ' re walking through crunchy fresh snow , passing a friendly person with a cute dog that has bells on its collar and is wearing antlers . You ' ll pause under awnings looking at the displays in shop windows , like a little electric train where Santa is the conductor . And then a breeze picks up and you take their hand because hey , it ' s cold . And as you walk around and the sexual tension builds , you stop to kiss them under some big outdoor christmas tree display , even it ' s just the one outside the bank or something , doesn ' t matter , everything is pretty right now . And it may be campy , but it ' s awesome , and you get to feel like you ' re in the movies . That ' s why you date at christmas .
