You're here where you should be
Snow is falling as the carols sing
It just wasn't the same
Alone on Christmas day
Presents, what a beautiful sight
Don't mean a thing if you ain't holding me tight
You're all that I need
Underneath the tree
Tonight

I'm gonna hold you close
Make sure that you know
I was lost before you
Christmas was cold and grey
Another holiday alone to celebrate
But then one day everything changed
You're all I need
Underneath the tree

You're here where you should be
Snow is falling as the carols sing
It just wasn't the same
Alone on Christmas day
Presents, what a beautiful sight
Don't mean a thing if you ain't holding me tight
You're all that I need
Underneath the tree

I found, what I was looking for
A love that's meant for me
A heart that's mine completely
Knocked me right off my feet
And this year I will fall
With no worries at all
'Cause you are near and everything's clear
You're all I need
Underneath the tree

You're here where you should be
Snow is falling as the carols sing
It just wasn't the same
Alone on Christmas day
Presents, what a beautiful sight
Don't mean a thing if you ain't holding me tight
You're all that I need
Underneath the tree
And then one day everything changed
You're all I need
Underneath the tree

You're here where you should be
Snow is falling as the carols sing
It just wasn't the same
Alone on Christmas day
Presents, what a beautiful sight
Don't mean a thing if you ain't holding me tight
You're all that I need
Underneath the tree
Tonight

Christmas 2017

"Are we there soon mom ?" My oldest Molly ask me for the fiftieth time on our drive up to the cabin. My parents has rented a cabin in the Scottish highlands and we have driven up from London. I curse the long drive, but have to give them that it is idyllic and beautiful with thick layers of snow everywhere.
The kids are looking forward to seeing their grandparents, but they are sad they are not going to see their father and his family and if I have to be honest, so am I. These last couple of weeks I have found myself missing Tom more and more. But it is done, the divorce papers is delivered to him and he has probably sent them in. "It won't be long sweetie".
Five minutes later I can point out the windscreen at the most idyllic cabin with light shining through the windows. "Look kids, there it is".
When we park I see my parents come out on the porch and I wonder if the cabin isn't a bit big for 3 adults and 3 kids but maybe it was all they could get. I get out the car. "Merry christmas. What a beautiful place".
"Welcome everyone". My father says beaming, and my two girls run to him as soon as I let them out of the car. They adore all their grandparents.
We exchange all the normal greetings and hugs before walking inside and I look around. "Wow this really is an impressive place. But isn't it big ?"
"Actually we are having some extra guests over, so we have a shortage of rooms. Would you mind terribly sharing your room ?" My mother says.
I look a bit confused I am sure. "Share my room ? With whom ?"
"That would be me". I suddenly hear a well know voice and turn to see Tom standing there, looking absolutely handsome in his black jeans and a blue sweater. "Welcome darling".
I don't know what to say, I hadn't expected this. My mom squeezes my hand. "You two need to talk, so I will take the kids into the kitchen and give you some privacy".
And then I find myself alone with Tom, not knowing what to do or say and I end up asking. "Why are you here Tom ?"
"Well this was kind of my idea". He says softly. He steps forward to take my hands. "Stella, I know I did the worst thing I could have done. I can't explain why because no excuse is good enough, nothing will make it undone. I am not asking for your forgiveness, because what I did can't be forgiven in any way. I am only begging you to find it in your heart to let me come home, to give us another chance".
I know my eyes are welling up with tears. "Tom..".
"Please love, tell me I can tear up those papers and throw them out". He is looking at me, his eyes pleading me. Then he falls to one knee, fumbling to get something from his pocket. "Stella, you are the star in my life, you and the kids are my very existence. Please will you stay married to me ?"
I clasp my hands over my mouth. How could I say no to him ? To those beautiful eyes looking at me with such hope. "Yes Tom, yes with all my heart".
He springs to his feet, taking my breath away as he kisses me like I am his last breath of air. Then he takes my hand, sliding a beautiful heartshaped diamond on my finger. "Thank you darling. I will spend every hour of every day for the rest of my life making it up to you, making you happy".
Suddenly we are surrounded by family, not only my parents, but both Tom's parents and his sisters with their families. Everyone huggings us, telling us how happy they are for us.
Tom's mother pulls me aside. Hugging me tightly. "Thank you for giving him a new chance Stella, God knows he don't deserve it. But he has been so lost without you, without his family. So thank you my dear".
"How could I not ? He is the best father the girls could ever have and well I love him, he is my rock and my heart.
"Darling come here". Tom calls and I shuffle over to him, letting him pull me down on his lap in the big chair in front of the fireplace. "Finally you are back were you should be".
I smile at him, running my hands into his hair, kissing him softly on the nose. "I believe that I am".
"A true christmas miracle". He says softly. "You are all I need underneath my tree.. well you and your moms christmas cookies". He say grabbing one as she walks by with a plate. Well at least he shares it with me.
That night falling asleep in his warm embrace I know this is only the first of many wonderful christmasses to come.
