Christmas in the Room
No travel plans, no shopping malls
No candy canes, no Santa Claus
For as the day of rest draws near
It’s just the two of us this yearNo silver bells or mistletoe
We’ll kiss and watch our TV shows
I’ll come to you,
I’ll sing to you
Like it’s Christmas in the room
I’ll dance with you,
I’ll laugh with you
‘Til it’s Christmas in the roomNo traffic jams, no ice and storm
Far in the house the fire is warm
No Christmas tree, no great parade
It’s just an ordinary dayNo parties planned, no place to go
It’s just the two of us alone
And in the house we see a light
That comes from what we feel insideI’ll come to you,
I’ll sing to you
Like it’s Christmas in the room
I’ll dance with you,
I’ll laugh with you
‘Til it’s Christmas in the room
‘Til it’s Christmas in the roomOh, I can see the day when we’ll die
But I don’t care to think of silence
For now I hear you laughing
The greatest joy is like the sunriseNo gifts to give, they’re all right here
Inside our hearts, the glorious cheer
And in the house we see a light
That comes from what we know inside
I’ll come to you,
I’ll sing to you
Like it’s Christmas in the room
I’ll dance with you,
I’ll laugh with you
‘Til it’s Christmas in the roomI’ll come to you,
I’ll sing to you
Like it’s Christmas in the room
I’ll dance with you,
I’ll laugh with youLike it’s Christmas in the room

I have been emotionally cheating on Kevin with Greg for years.
Kevin and I have had a lot of conversations these past couple weeks. All of them incredibly difficult. We’ve had to discuss the fact that, for the last two years, I had fallen in and out-of-bounds, romantic love with Greg.
From the inception of our communal friendship, Kevin has voiced, time and again, his discomfort about the intensity and private nature of that relationship. I am ashamed to admit it, but I listened to his clear communication of boundaries, and I disregarded them, time and again.
Kevin had a lot to say about individual moments of joy and fun in our collective dynamic, but the group has been premised on something completely antithetical to our wedding vows.
I have been emotionally cheating on Kevin with Greg for years.
We need to take a break. I have to rebuild Kevin’s trust and secure not only our marriage but the fledgling new life we have taking root in DC.
