Kitty was sitting at home watching the snow fall to the ground. It was Christmas Eve and Kitty could see lights all over the city of Petropolis. Normally, she would be happy that Christmas was almost here, but this year she was upset that she would be spending it alone. Her husband, Dudley was stationed overseas in Afghanistan for the war. He would write to her as much as he could but it wasn't very often.
As Kitty looked outside at all the Christmas lights on her block, all she could think about was Dudley. He had been gone for over four years and he had visited her the last three Christmas's but this year in his most recent letter he said he couldn't visit her. Kitty could feel tears coming in her eyes but then a song came to her mind and she began to sing.
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas
Is you
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
And I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas Day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You baby
As Kitty stared out her window she saw a plane coming closer to the ground and heading toward the airport. As she watched it disappear, she wished more than anything that Dudley was on that plane and she would be waiting for him with open arms but instead she stayed where she was and continued to sing her song.
Oh I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
And I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do?
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
You
Oh all the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need?
Won't you please bring my baby to me?
Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is
You baby
All I want for Christmas is you baby
All I want for Christmas is you baby
All I want for Christmas is you baby
Kitty could feel a single tear rolling down her cheek. She missed Dudley so much. As she began to dose off right where she was sitting, she heard a knock at the door. She got up to answer it assuming it was just one of the TUFF agents bringing a present and telling her how sorry they were since Dudley wasn't here. She was half right. When she opened the door, her eyes grew wide and filled with tears of joy and she smiled.
There in the doorway with a smile on his face was Dudley.
Kitty wasted no time and immediately embraced her husband which he returned. "Merry Christmas, Kitty." she heard him say.
Kitty finally pulled away. "I thought you said you weren't coming this year." she said.
Dudley still smiling replied, "I said I wasn't visiting. I never said I wasn't staying."
"You mean you're not going back?" Kitty asked with joyful tears in her eyes.
Dudley nodded and wiped the tears from her eyes. "I wanted to surprise you." he said. He then grabbed his bags that he had hidden in the hallway and pulled a big present out of one. "It's for you." he said.
Kitty smiled and took the present. But to Dudley's surprise, she took the bow off and put it on his chest.
"You're my present this year." she said. It was Dudley's turn to embrace her.
"Merry Christmas, Kitty." Dudley said.
"Merry Christmas, Dudley." Kitty replied but in her mind she said;
All I want for Christmas is you
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
The End
