I’ll bet many of you are getting quite excited about the upcoming
holidays. Last year I sent out a tip for the 12 Days of a RoMANtic
Christmas. It was one of my most popular tips. I now have it on my
website under the ideas section for those who would like to see it.
I’d love it if some of you submitted ideas for Hanukkah.

Have a merry, romantic week. — Michael

I received another great batch of ideas/stories for Christmas. If
everyone was this romantic year round we’d have zero divorces!!

Hats off to Pam VanTimmeren of Muskegon, Michigan who won last week’s
contest. Her idea and many other Christmas ideas are posted on the
website ( http://theromantic.com ) Take a look for some creative
ways to bring more romance to the holidays.

This week’s contest is on the weather. It sure has gotten cold here
in North Carolina recently. ANY idea that has to do with cold (as in
temperature — not sickness) is eligible for the contest.

OUR MOST ROMANTIC PIECE OF FURNITURE
by Michael Webb

There is a very romantic piece of furniture in our house. You
probably can’t guess what it is.

The trend of these last couple of decades is to divide everything into
“his and hers.” There are his and her towels. His and her sinks.
His and her recliners. His and her checking accounts. The more
things are divided means there are less things to be shared.

When Athena and I bought our first house in North Carolina my mother
wanted to buy us a special house warming present. We asked her to
pitch in on a chair and a half. That’s right. Not one chair to fight
over or two chairs to separate us. We wanted to have one chair that
we could share together.

A chair and a half is an extra wide chair that can fit two average
size persons. It is also extra long so it is like having a built in
ottoman. Some people call it a two person chaise.

When we watch a movie we do so side by side, not separated. Even
watching the news can be a romantic occasion for us as I wrap my arms
around Athena while we view the weekend weather update. During our
midday tea break we will often have our “cuppa” in our chair.

Too much “personal space” can kill a relationship. I think we all
need more “shared space.”
