This morning I checked my E-mail
(I do it daily without fail).
A great way for my day to start....
A Christmas card from my sweetheart!

A scene of snow-capped mountains tall
With sprinkles of a light snowfall,
A tiny cottage, windows bright,
With stars above cascading light.

A Christmas melody then played
All while the picture was displayed.
It's beauty took my breath away -
A precious gift for Christmas day.

But, much more than the scenery,
It was the words that got to me
Of love undying from my sweet
And how I made her life complete.

She said I was the only one
That she could truly count upon
And she would have a perfect life
The day that she became my wife.

Yes, blessed I am that she is mine.
My eyes devoured every line.
There's just one doubt that does arise -
Who are all those cc: guys?

Absolutely adorable.  Now cc could mean carbon copy, but carbon copy of what?  You might have to ask her what she really means, but I am sure that her thoughts were on the right track.

'Deer this is sooooooooo cute, I love it, love it, love it,

You had me hooked all the way to the end, now fancy sending it out like that. That's just plain careless. (It wasn't me, I was away that day, I have a note of excuse, and anyway I didn't do it) That's just in case anyone is thinking of putting the blame on me.

Wonderful writing love absolutely wonderful
