There’s honestly nothing more romantic than being in love in the winter, with the snow falling outside, your hand kept warm in his. But your boyfriend might not be as mushy as you are when it comes to the holidays, so dragging him to the events that put you in the spirit might be a struggle. Deep down he knows it’ll make you happy, but he can’t be seen stringing together popcorn to put around the tree. It’ll hurt his manly-man demeanor.
It’s the coziest season, filled with nights snuggled up to your other half by the fire with two very full glasses of wine. So it’s time you get creative on how to get your boyfriend out of the house and into the spirit like you.
