Christmas Bells Are Ringing 2

Chapter 1: I'll Be Home for Christmas

It was Christmas Eve and Joanne was in Chicago for a banquet her boss was having. She had planned be home by Christmas Eve morning so that she and Maureen could bake cookies, watch Christmas movies, and get drunk off Eggnog. As she sat In the airport, it was announced that her flight was delayed.

"Damn." She said to herself. "Mo is not going to like this."

The lawyer pulled out her cell phone to call her girlfriend. Too her surprise, Maureen had picked up the phone on the first ring.

"Pookie!"

"Hey, Honeybear, what are you doing?"

"Watching Single White Female."

"Didn't that just come out in theatres?"

"Yeah."

"Maureen, that's illegal."

"No, it's not! I was just one of the lucky ones to get it on VHS."

"I fear the day I get a call from you in jail."

"Why would I make you my one phone call?" Maureen teased.

"A) I'm your girlfriend and B) I'm a lawyer."

"I love you."

"I love you more." Joanne smiled. "I have to tell you something. Please don't get mad."

"Let me guess. Your flight got delayed."

"Yes."

"Pookie!" Maureen whined. "You're going to miss Christmas , aren't you?"

"No. I promise I won't miss Christmas."

Maureen being the diva that she is hung up the phone. Joanne knew that her girlfriend couldn't stay mad at her for too long so she wasn't worried. She was only worried about making it home in time. The lawyer sat back and began humming a tune. Two women sitting next to her noticed the tune.

"Excuse meā€¦but are you singing I'll Be Home for Christmas?" One woman asked.

"Yeah, it's one of my favorites."

"Mine too." The other woman said.

Joanne

I'll be home for Christmas

You can count on me

Please have snow and mistle toe

And presents under the tree

Christmas Eve will find me

Where the love light gleams

I'll be home for Christmas

If only in my dreams

I'll be home, I'll be home

If only in my dreams

I'll be home, I'll be home

If only in my dreams

I'm dreamin' tonight

Of a place I love

Even more than I usually do

Women

(Usually do)

Joanne

And although I know

It's a long road back

I Promise You

I'll be home for Christmas

You can count on me

Please have snow and mistle toe

And presents under the tree

Christmas Eve will find me

Where the love light gleams

I'll be home for Christmas

If only in my dreams

I'll be home, I'll be home

If only in my dreams
