"[M]erry Christmas, my darling.", said Richard softly to his new wife as he held out a small box perfectly wrapped in bright red glossy paper with golden ribbon and a matching bow on top.
[E]mily looked at the box for a moment, then at her handsome, gentle husband and her eyes became moist. "[R]ichard...", she whispered, "...with all the bills for ...Annie... still to be paid, we can't afford..."
"[R]eally, Emily, how could I NOT find a way to afford something for our first Christmas together? [Y]ou and I have endured so much heartache this year I had to do something, find some way, to bring a little joy into our lives. [C]hristmas is supposed to be about life and love and joy …not sadness and sorrows.”
“[H]ow… how did you manage it?”, Emily asked with innocent wonder as she stared quietly at the lovely, unopened package she still held in her hands.
[R]ichard just fixed his gaze to the floor and fidgeted slightly. “[I]f you must know, …I went without lunch …and… continued to donate …well, ‘sell’ now, …my blood. [S]ome of the money I used to pay toward the hospital and doctors and… other …bills. [T]here’s still plenty to pay, but we’ll make it eventually. [M]r. Benson says the plant should be running again in a few months, too. [A]nyway, this is our FIRST Christmas and we ‘…need a little Christmas, right this very moment…’”, crooned Richard playfully.
[S]till in wonderment and profound appreciation for the thoughtfulness of her kind, loving partner, Emily was in no real hurry to open her gift. “[M]aybe it was all just a dream.”, she mused allowing a little room for the still fresh pain of their loss. “[Y]ou really shouldn’t have.”, Emily protested mildly, reflecting the sadness she still felt.
“[D]arling, I know it is difficult to celebrate anything so soon after everything that has happened, but Christmas is our one reason to hope for better, happier times.”, offered Richard perceptively.
[A]ppreciating his tender words and sentiments, Emily lovingly unwrapped her beautiful gift with only a hint of, but a newly found, anticipation. [R]ichard watched his wife closely, hopefully. [L]ifting the top off of the box under the wrappings, Emily fingered a delicate golden chain and slowly withdrew a finely engraved locket.
“[I]… I hope you like it.”, soothed Richard quietly choking a little as he struggled with the depths of his concerns for his grief-stricken wife.
[N]ow both with bittersweet tears trailing their cheeks, Emily opened the locket to reveal the picture of a newborn babe on one face and an inscription on the other.
“[G]od’s Angel - Annabeth Addams - 10/23/07 - 12/04/07”.

I took an alternate route because I'm short on time. But I did write every word with those first letters. Enjoy!

Missing Christmas with Rose is the last thing I wanted to do.
Every year since we met nearly 10 years ago, we had been able to be together at Christmas.
Recently, I received order for Iraq and would be leaving in early December.
Rose took my pending departure stoically as she always does.
Yet I could tell this was harder for her than usual.
“Can’t they let you stay until after the holidays.” she asked.
“How much difference would that make?”
Rose has never been one to bemoan her fate, so I was quite moved by her plea.
“I know Darling but maybe this will give a GI with children the chance to be home for Christmas,” I said, with more joy than I was really feeling.
She seemed to brighten a bit at that, though I knew she still wished I could stay till after Christmas.
“That’s a good way to look at it” she said, bravely hiding her sadness.
“Many children of servicemen are missing at least one parent at this time of year.
Anything we can do to get one parent home is a good thing” she added.
“Sweetheart, you give me new reasons to love you everyday,” she said kissing my cheek.
My heart swelled as she held me close for a while.
“You are the love of my life,” I whispered.
“Don’t get me crying,” she laughed.
After you left last time, it took me an hour too stop.”
“Rose, don’t cry,“ I said.
“Leaving you is so hard, but it is necessary.
I know you understand, but it is still hard.’
“Never forget how much I love you.”
Giving her one last hug, I held her close for a minute hoping this would not be the last time.

Mercy!
Everywhere I look there’s a road block.
Really never saw it coming.
Raving lunatic!
You should have warned me.
Comfort! I need comfort!
Hold me.
Really close.
Is the pain ever going to go away?
Somebody please make it stop!
This is torture.
My body can’t comprehend what has taken place.
And my mind won’t allow it.
Somebody hit my baby.
My baby is GONE!
Yes! Dear God, what am I going to do?
Did you hear me God?
A “hit and run” driver, took her life.
Raving lunatic!! He ran the red light!
“Let’s cross Mom” she said.
In that instant she was gone.
Nothing left.
Gone!

"My Gosh, whatever next?" said Santa upon seeing the a new sign.
Elves on strike! the sign proclaimed.
Redfaced with anger, Santa marched into the elves common room.
"Right you lot, you know we can't have this at this time of year" he shouted at the elves......
I've started someone else can finish it now.
