There are 14 days before Christmas, and have you had a “holiday date” with your mate?  Don’t tell me you’re too busy.   I know you’ve got shopping, wrapping, baking, and decorating to do, but what could be more important than taking time to spend with your partner to enjoy the season’s festivities.  My husband and I do this every year.  Last year we went to E J Thomas Hall in Akron to hear a free concert called, “A Tuba Christmas.”  Another year we went to the Cleveland Playhouse to see the Festival of Trees.  One season we set up a card table and had dinner by the Christmas tree.  Whatever you do this holiday, make sure you do at least one festive thing with your mate.
