The sixth day before Christmas

I finished the last Christmas gift today, and it's wrapped and under the tree. Whew!

Yesterday, some friends of ours got married—we couldn't attend, unfortunately, having already left for Christmas vacation, but in their honor, here are two Christmas-related wedding selections.  The first is from L.M. Montgomery's less-well-known series about Emily Starr.  It's a bit more grown-up than the Ann series, and I love it even better.  This is from the final book of the trilogy, Emily's Quest:
"I suppose you wouldn't have him because he didn't propose romantically," said Aunt Elizabeth contemptuously.

"No. I think my real reason was that I felt sure he was the kind of man who would give his wife a vacuum cleaner for a Christmas present," vowed Emily.
And here's the wedding scene in my favorite Christmas movie, Love Actually:
