I wasn’t expecting this to be my second post. But here I am inspired to write to you all because I just had an amazing Christmas and wanted to share it with you. I feel that I have so much to celebrate this year.

First, my partner David gave me my gifts early, and started off this holiday season with a bang for me. I recently bought a new car, a RAV 4, which is a car that I have been wanting to get for years. So after I made the purchase, David bought me all weather car mats for not only the passenger seats but the whole trunk as well! It was such a generous gift, and also something that I really needed! ❤

The second thing that tickled me pink, is the amount of shear acceptance I have received, and visibly seen from my family. I will definitely go more in depth on this topic in later posts of the blog, but just in this past week, my sister not only sent me a generous gift of all her homemade bath bombs, soaps, sugar scrubs and so much more, but she also sent gifts for everyone in my immediate polycule. I had bought gifts from her to give to my partners, but she sent me so much more than I anticipated and wanted everyone to have something from her. I can’t even express how much this touched my heart. She never questioned me, and accepted me for everything I am, and I can’t thank her enough for including my chosen family as well!

I also had some people reach out to me after my first blog post a few days ago, letting me know how they are already learning new things, and that they relate. This meant a lot to me, and I am so glad to have readers who relate with things I have been through. Please leave comments and interact in my blogs! I love hearing from you. 

One of the people who reached out to me was my sister in- law. She wanted to let me know that she thought that I was one of the most fearless women she knows, and that she looks forward to getting to know me better. This seriously made my night! I never thought of myself as a fearless person, I feel that I am scared of everything honestly. But hearing that she thinks I am fearless and brave to do love the way I feel, made me feel so happy inside.  I feel so fortunate to have family and extended family who love me the way I am. 

Christmas Eve was a fun night. My roommate Mike made dinner for everyone in our current household. We currently have 6 people, 3 dogs, many fish, and a snake living at our home that we call “The Charming Hideaway.” He made an amazing Lasagna, and we had a Chicken Pot Pie!

We decided to have a household movie night and we all cuddled up on the sectional couch with the 3 puppers and watched, “Die Hard.” As Scott and David say “The BEST Christmas movie.” I still have to disagree with this, the classic “Year Without a Santa” will always be my favorite. It was a lovely night, we ended it with opening our stockings! We all basically had more fun helping the dogs open their stockings. They were getting all excited about their new toys, and of course the TREATS! 

I woke up this morning next to fiance, Scott, and my ever so handsome puggy baby Max. The alarm went off at 7am, and it was time to start our busy day of traveling around Massachusetts to visit our families for Christmas festivities! While I was getting ready for the day I got a video call from Amie and Patrick, two of my current partners that I date separately and together. They were opening their gifts. 

Amie and I surprised Patrick with a gift that we went in on together. Amie wanted to make sure that I could share in the experience of him opening the gift on Christmas morning! We got him a professional kitchen knife set which he has been wanting for a long time! Seeing the pure excitement on his face when he realized what he had received, filled me with so much joy! It was a great way to start the day! 

I said Merry Christmas David, and everyone in the household and Scott and I headed on the road. We started the day with my dad. My dad and his wife made us a beautiful and tasty christmas breakfast, then on to Scott’s dad for some “National Lampoon” christmas fun, and then dinner at his mothers. It was a beautiful day, full of food and good company.

When we got home at the end of the day we opened the christmas gifts from my mother, step dad, and aunt. They bought us so much of what we needed for our wedding in July! It was mind blowing! I am so thrilled that my family is going to be part of my Poly wedding, and that they are excited about it! I feel truly blessed!

I have been talking to my partners all throughout the day today, and seeing all the pictures they sent to me of Christmas with their families, and my metamours families filled me with so many happy feelings. I loved seeing my partners Amie and Patrick’s son open his gifts, and David playing with his girlfriends little girl at her new kitchen set. I also got so many pictures from my mother of my nephew opening his gifts I sent to him! It truly was a merry Christmas this year!

The best gift that I have received this year is the gift of acceptance.

So I can easily say, that though I did get many very generous gifts from family and loves this season, that the best gift that I have received this year is the gift of acceptance. Acceptance of who I am, and how I choose to live. I can’t thank my friends and family enough for this gift, because it has given me the courage to become less afraid to share my experiences. I love you all, and thank you for being a part of my life. 

I am now ending my Christmas watching “The Princess Bride” with Scott and my pug curled up on the couch! I hope you all had a Happy Holiday Season! Stay tuned for a brand new post on Saturday called “The Cabin in the Woods”, you will hear all about my very first date with David!

Words you many not know:

Have Yourself a Poly Little Christmas… Continued..

I just finished my Christmas festivities with the rest of my poly family! I went and stayed the last few days with Amie and Patrick, and we celebrated our little Christmas together with their son!

I was completely blown away by the gifts I received. They were extremely personal and very special. As you continue to read my blog, one things that you will find out about me is that I am a HUGE Little Mermaid fan. It is my all time favorite movie, and was actually the first movie I went to see in a movie theater as a child.

Well, Amie and Patrick got me a hand crafted Little Mermaid musical jewelry box that played “Part of Your World.” And on the inside is a hand picked quote by the two of them from the movie and they had it engraved. “You’re the one, the one I’ve been looking for.” I completely melted. I feel so lucky to have them in my life.

As you can see in the picture above, there was a beautiful little box inside the jewelry box. It was a special gift from Patrick. He bought me my birthstone necklace! It was positively stunning! I can’t thank them both enough!

To complete my festivities Amie and I built a gingerbread train! I couldn’t have said it any better than Amie, “I love this girl. We have so much fun since we both refuse to grow up.” Amie and I got really into building this little train. and may have put frosting on each others faces in the process! I don’t know I think we “NAILED IT!” What do you think?
