More or less. Close enough for government work, I suppose.
I mean, it's a communal space. A lot of people are leaving things here, and I've got no problem watching over them. That's the spirit of the season, after all!
No need to do anything in return; it's just a Christmas tree, after all.
Actually, if you could go get some fresh water, that'd be peachy-keen. Otherwise, I'm just fine.
Well, yeah. Trees usually fall down if they're not in a stand; it's not like I've got roots going through the floor here or anything. That's property damage.
What, you've never had a Christmas tree?
What, you've never had...a...Hanukkah...tree?
Gah! That's rather horrible of her.
Family can be a real pain in the tuckus.
Mmm. While that's true, she's not losing you to anyone. That's not how people work, as hard as it is to accept sometimes.
With whom? With your Bubbe? With your girlfriend? Or with yourself?
You'd be surprised at the different ways to find His presence. I used to think there was one way, too, but that was ever so long ago.

Not being Jewish myself -- you see the decorations? -- makes any of the SPECIFICS I could offer perhaps not as useful as possibly could be. For me, it was going out and interacting with my old faith and new faith in ways that were unfamiliar -- ways that didn't have ties to my family or past. It helped me clear my head on what I was taught and what I -BELIEVE-
I'm not exactly busy -- but if you've got somewhere to be, don't worry if you have to leaf me alone.
Fun fun! Any special plans, or just sight-seeing?
Tip from a local: Maldon's High Street often does a vintage Christmas faire -- everyone dresses up in old vintage clothing, and Santa's there, and there's a prize for the best-dressed couple. I'm sure you could squeeze your girl into something stylish.
My kind of girl, then. Show her a good time -- and that some things are thicker than blood.
Will. You'll see me around; I'm rather hard to miss.
The pleasure is all mine, I'm sure.
Happy holidays
