What would you do if you were in love with a beast?

Yuiko strung the flashing lights diligently, humming as she went. The small, plumpt tree soon began to shimer in the dark room. She smiled as the lights were all on the tree, and she moved to the red glistening garland. As the lights were previously, this task was also soon completed. She stood back to look at her handiwork, and fussed the tree so it was perfect. SHe smiled again and went to retrieve somethign from the front hallway closet.

"Yuiko, I'm home," a deep male voice called. Yuiko jerked around and saw her husband just slipping of his shoes and stepping into the foyer.

"Welcome home, Leo," she called. She hurridely grabbed severat large wrapped gifts and trotted into the living room. Leo watched as she went, curiosity animating his soft boyish face.

"Yuiko, what are those for?"he called shyly.

Yuiko turned to him and brushed some loose pine needles from her jeans, "It's Christmas silly!"

SIlence met her words and she continued softly, "do you...not know what Christmas is?"

Leo remained quiet and stood i shock, her mouth hanging open. Then she squeled and ran to grab Leo's shirt front.

"Oh My galloshes, LEO!!! You've never celebrated Christmas!?!?! We have to make this year EXTRA special then! Come on help me decorate!!!!" SHe continued to shake him and then promtly dragged him to the living room. His eyes immediately grew big and he stared at the bright lights anb dthe hsoft music playing from the nearby radio.

"Yuiko, it's BEAUTIFUL!" He grabbed her waist, nuzzling her neck.

As usual Yuiko blushed and laughed, "Aww, thanks, Leo!"
