On the 1st Date of Christmas...

Now that it's officially the Christmas season, I made Brandon open one of his Christmas presents early. Since we really don't really need a lot of 'things', I decided to put a little more thought into his gift this year. From now until December, we'll go on 12 surprise dates. Fun, right?

On the first date of Christmas, I gave my true love...
Tickets to a Jazz game! Ok, not really. But I did have intentions to until his company gave us tickets for 20th row--way better than I would ever be able to afford and concessions money. It doesn't get much better than that.


I added a surprise element by stopping at the Old World Christmas Market at the Gateway. It was patterned after the German Christmas markets that I would frequent while I was living there. The little booths, authentic German food, lights, and holiday music was a great way to kick off the Christmas season.
