Christmas With Comet

I remember this last Christmas Eve....Gene came home with a twinkle in his eye...(no....not THAT twinkle ladies! such thoughts on my nice clean blog!) anyway....he smiled his handsome "Gene" smile, takes me in his arms and kisses me with his smooth as all hell "Gene" kiss and asks me if I feel like going somplace special. I, in my own schoolgirl "oh my GAWD he's sooooooooooooo cute" type of way giggle and say yes. So off we go to the gateway city to Tilley's Park (pardon me if that's spelled wrong) and he pulls in to the parking lot and there sits, all in a row, several LOVELY horses...and attached to the horses are sleighs. We had gotten there around 5:30 in the evening, just as the sun was gasping it's last breath of the evening before it retired until the next day. It took everyting I had not to squeal in delight. Gene gets out of the car and takes me by the hand and leads me to a large black stallion named Comet. I immediately lapse into shameless babytalk as I nuzzle and pet the gorgeous creature, and, My handsome Lover asks me if I would care to take a ride in a carraige with him. I'm not stupid...I, of course, say yes, and he helps me up into the massive carraige and settles in beside me and covers us up with a tartan blanket that has surely been just waiting there for us to notice it.
At Tilley Park each year they have a festival of lights, and so Christy (Comet's owner) begins to drive us through the large park slowly as Gene takes my hand, smiles that "Gene" smile, and kisses it...and we spend the remainder of the ride talking to the young lady in the front of the carraige and taking turns kissing each other's hands. We spent the next 45 minutes in a perfect winter wonderland fantasy, surrounded by lights of every shape and size. After the ride is finished My fiancee paid the young lady quite a handsome sum of money and I spend at least five more minutes nuzzling and babytalking the poor stallion, thanking him for the magical ride. and Gene then takes me to a perfectly romantic dinner. Afterwards we went home...went to bed, held each other closely , kissing and giggling about our evening as we thanked God for our perfect Christmas Eve...
