What is a good way to propose for marriage on Christmas?”
Put the ring box into a larger box, (however big you want) so you’re girlfriend doesn’t have a clue what is really in the box. Fix her a nice dinner first. I would say take her out, but being Christmas all the restaurants are going to be closed and you’ll end up eating a hotdog at 7-11. Believe me, that happened to me and my husband one year. Anyway, the meal doesn’t have to be anything fancy just whatever her favorite happens to be. This is her night after all, you want to make it something she’ll never forget. A nice bottle of wine. Maybe if you want to do something humorous, right before you exchange presents excuse yourself for a few minutes and go change into a Santa suit. Then come back into the room with the box in your hand and give it to her. Or you could have someone else dress up as Santa for you. My cousin’s ex-husband did that once when I was little and my cousin was his elf. That’s still a really neat memory. Good Luck!
You have heard how men can be very thought-less with some gifts to women…such as pots and pans, toasters, dishes, electric appliances, etc. I don’t know how predictable you are, but you could put your ring in a small box inside the smallest of the pots in a set of pots and pans (making sure that the box is surrounded by tissue paper so as not to rattle or move). When she opens the pots and pans, you can only imagine her expression…she’s going to think you’re a total bonehead…then tell her to open the pots and pans to check them out and see why you purchased such a set for her! When she finds the box, those pots and pans will quickly be forgotten, but you’ll always have a story of how she thought you bought her pots and pans instead of a real gift! Another suggestion would be that you make up some great story…ask her if she heard about the meteor shower in your area the night before…when she says no, you can tell her that it was supposedly one of the largest meteors to ever fa
Position the ring as a halo on an angel ornament. Give her a series of hints starting with one in her stocking. Be humorous and witty, maybe even giving a series of small gifts along the way. By the time she gets to the ring it will be the last thing she expects. She will probably not recognize the ring for what it is at first but with the appropriate smile and bended knee she will catch on quickly. It will be a story she can treasure for ever. She will never see an angel on a tree without remembering that moment. Christmas will forever be the night of angels and the beginning of an incredible life.
There are three standard ways to propose marriage on Christmas. First way: romantically in front of her family. Christmas is a time to get the whole family together, so get yourself invited to her parents’ place for Christmas. Find a good time (Christmas morning, at the end of opening presents, Christmas dinner making a toast, etc), give a speech about why she’s so great, and propose. Standard, classical, boring. Second way: The idea is to surprise her with a ring. Christmas is entirely about hiding gifts in packages. Hey, what if I hid the ring in wrapping paper and put it under the tree with her name on it? Ding! This is a pretty standard technique, on account of it being so obvious, but it’s still a good one. The big problem is that the little ring-box-shaped present is a little obvious, so you may want to try putting it in a box that’s too big for it, or putting the ring around the neck of a beloved stuffed animal and put that in a larger box. Or something. When she opens the prese
