I am not the owner of this image, just for the record. However, I find it very inspiring. I picture a young couple around Christmas time. It’s a 17 year old boy and a 13 year old girl from families at odds with each other. He is very destitute but she is very well to do. However, their love for each other is unequivocally strong. He spent the day walking across town in below freezing weather, just to see her for a few minutes. They meet beneath the street lamp and exchange multiple kisses. He then embraces her and she buries her face in his chest. After holding her, he presents her a beautiful watch and says how he synchronized it with the church clock. She looks at the time on the face of that watch and realizes her parents will be home soon. Sweetly, they share several more kisses and one last embrace follow by a mutual, “I love you.” Then bid each other farewell. The boy then walks home and the girl watches longingly from the bay window until he is out of her sight…That’s my Christmas in July for this evening.
