“Help Me God Pick The Right One!!” by Judith Buskohl

Submitted to Contest #73

Tomorrow was Christmas Day and she was still shopping for the perfect gift for one special man in her life, her Dad. Since mom passed on two years before from a heart issue, he needed something in his life; he would just go out to buy it. Her parents had always been on the soft side of easy street, so her dad was well off and didn’t have to work one day more in his golden years. She always chuckled as she watched the look of greed come over hopefully young woman that saw a man with one foot in the grave and then watched as th...

“On Christmas Eve.” by Honest Poet

Submitted to Contest #73

The night was awash in shades of different colors. Blue, red, white, green and yellow lights illuminate the family compound. Thrown all over the walls of the fence which wrapped itself around the parsonage were shadows of different forms, appearing and disappearing and morphing into one another. The compound was teeming with people. The gate was thrown wide open and from where I sat, perched on a low stool like a bird, I could see people walking in groups into the compound. Little boys were running all over the lawn, while the older ones eng...

“Marry Me” by A Mehendale

Submitted to Contest #73

A thud. The mattress wobbles.“Hey. Marry me.”Anoushka groans, and burrows further into the pillow.______________________________________________________Some unknowable number of hours later, Anoushka is finally feeling once more capable of being alive, though not without some bitterness. She finds Jade in the kitchen, sat cross-legged on a chair and hunched over a book. She looks up as Anoushka comes in, smiles at her, soft and warm.“Merry Almost Christmas.”“Back at ya.” She pauses on her way to the kettle, hand coming to rest on the back of...

“And It All Happened On Christmas Eve!” by Karen Kitchel

Submitted to Contest #73

Tantalizing toast with homemade strawberry jam, hand-delivered by my good friend, Tony, was how this epic day began. In days gone by, Tony was my grade school hero for showing me how to reach the top of the monkey bars in less than ten seconds. Our mothers called us two peas in a pod. Over the years, we spent endless hours riding bikes together, and because of him, I realized how very much I wanted to have a brother. I thought the jar of jam must have slipped off the table without my noticing when I saw Tony down on his knees. Then before ...

Submitted to Contest #73

It was only Christmas Eve and Namhyo Kim had already received five love confessions. Namhyo Kim, age 21, attended college learning in the department of animation. She usually had to sleep in her studio since she needed to stay up to finish her projects and the college she attended did not provide dormitory rooms. Across the girls' studio where she worked was the studio specifically for boys. In there were her five good friends. Jungmin Son was her best friend. They had met each other at high school. They thought the lo...

“None of the Above” by Mei Cabral

Submitted to Contest #73

Hi my name is Mia Smith, and let me tell you my story on how I had worse and greatest Christmas eve. I know it sound confusing, so let me start... I was born with a wealthy family, but I didn't like it that much. My mom and dad always need to go to work so I rarely see them, and my sister never gave attention to me and dissapeared a day before my 5th birthday. I feel like I was invisible to my family. As a part of a wealthy family, my dad once told me, not to be a disgrace to the family and always be at the top. So I worked my ass off, s...

“proposal times 5” by C Alexis McGregor

Submitted to Contest #73

Hello everyone, I'm Verdie Feldt. I am so pleased to be speaking with your today via Zoom about one of the most joyous yet tremulous events of my recent life. This afternoon, I will share with you the intricacies that encompassed my engagement proposal for Christmas 2020. I now wonder at my surprise, given the erratic rhythm of this past year. I invite you to close your eyes, picture a tree full of garland, blinking with white lights, boughs bursting with bobbles of every shape, sheen, all in tints, tones of currant, crimson, cherry. My mo...

“The Most Confusing Holiday of the year” by Jewel May

Submitted to Contest #73

I woke up at 6:00 am on Christmas Eve 2020. Today marks my first year living on my own, I’m 19. I didn’t have any boyfriends as a kid or teen so I didn’t have anyone to move in with. I woke up early so I could go for a run, despite the holiday I still wanted to continue the day as normal. I turned the alarm off and sat up. I went to youtube on my phone and started playing some workout tunes. I threw the device back down to my bed after I stood. I made my way to the closet and grabbed my shoes from one of the shelves, set up inside. They were...

“Engagement Forest” by Shannon McGill

Submitted to Contest #73

Engagement Forest1034 wordsAh, my favorite night of the year, Christmas Eve. The snow dances in the air lazily, melting as it lands upon my face. It’s dark and glittery outside and the trees surrounding us wear the snowflakes like a formal gown, such an idyllic scene. I sit and let my five senses run free, always unnoticed as couples pass my hiding spot. The news named the vast, barely touched patch of land “Engagement Forest” but the real name is Theodore Roberts Park, after one of our local founders of the same name. It’s the perfect ...

“Every Five Years” by Annie Ruhangakiza

Submitted to Contest #73

"When you get older who will slaughter the chicken for you?" My dad always asked me this every Christmas eve as they slaughtered goats and chicken for the rest of the festive season. "I will have a husband, daddy to do all that for me. I'll also be rich to hire someone to slaughter the chicken and goats" I always replied and my dad always shook his head at my arrogance. He thought it was a skill to come in handy one day and I thought it was a role for men. I pulled the African traditional society card where men did the grazing, hunting and s...

“Merry Little Drummer Girl” by Pamela Harju

Submitted to Contest #73

“I think I made a mistake. I was wrong to break up with you. I miss you.” Mike put his hands on her shoulders and looked into her eyes. “Would you marry me?” She looked at his for once sincere face and wondered why she had ever thought him handsome. She suppressed a sigh. “No, Mike, you were right. You dumped me because you were bored of me. I don’t want to marry you.” His expression told her he hadn’t expected this. “Why not?” She wriggled away from his grip. “I’m seeing someone else.” She walked away, hoping she could unsee the pain...

“Love, Peace and Hope” by Gelyn Pescuela

Submitted to Contest #73

Sitting in a chair, having a vacation in this beautiful place where I am at peace and hearing the chirping of the bird’s leads to serenity which I wish far beyond what I expected to be. I long for your presence, and I’m dying to meet you soon but sadly this time isn’t the best time, not because you weren’t ready, but because I wasn’t ready and the world isn’t ready. I have so much time to improve myself because that’s the best thing I could do now. While waiting for you, I found myself dreaming on the eternal happiness and peace the world sh...

“CHRISTMAS EVE OFFER” by Sachin Mk

Submitted to Contest #73

We all say it is the best time of year, but Christmas has now officially been chosen as the best time to get down on one knee and ask the question, and we suspect that many of these proposals will happen just after midnight. We know that many couples like to start the New Year with a small gift and a proposal, so on Christmas Eve (December 24) there will probably be the second - most marriage proposals, followed by New Year (which is technically January, but is still a holiday) and then Christmas Day itself. A proposal made just before midni...
