What My True Love Gave on 9th December
December is the season of giving—a time when love is shown through thoughtful gestures, big or small, to the people who matter most. Just like the evergreen carol The 12 Days of Christmas, my true love has not been found wanting in the art of giving, demonstrating love and affection in meaningful ways.
On the 9th of December, my true love gave me something simple yet deeply appreciated: a day off from the kitchen. At first glance, it might seem insignificant, but for someone who spends hours planning and preparing meals, it was a gesture of pure love. My true love stepped into the role of chef for the day, cooking a meal that was hearty, warm, and made with care. He even added my favorite dessert, turning an ordinary day into one of comfort and joy.
It wasn’t about the perfection of the meal or grand displays—it was the thoughtfulness that stood out. That single act reminded me that love is most powerful in the little things. A day off, a helping hand, or even a kind word can mean the world to someone, especially when it’s offered with sincerity.

As we move through this season of giving, let’s not overlook the beauty of small gestures. You don’t need extravagant gifts to show someone they matter. The thought behind an act, however simple, can have the deepest impact.
So, as we celebrate the spirit of December, remember this: no gift is too small, no act too insignificant to brighten someone’s day. Sometimes, it’s the smallest things that leave the biggest mark.
