It's about Christmas.

I have a girlfriend that I've been dating for almost a year.
They are older, are currently working adults, and are good-looking and charming, so they seem to be popular without colored glasses.
And this year is our first Christmas together.

However, I was told the other day that “we will have a Christmas party at the place of work about a week before Christmas.”

I can't help but understand her opinion that work and Christmas with me are separate, but when I think that the 25th we spend together is just one day out of many fun events for her... it makes my heart block.
There is also a feeling that I want them to enjoy it, but I have a strong feeling that I can't honestly send it out, and my idea is that I want them to have a monopoly on the first Christmas.

It seems to reveal my youth, and such questions and answers to monks are very embarrassing, but after all, I wonder if my view of romance is childish. Is the vessel small?
I would be happy if you could give me some advice.

She's not your property.
Let's respect her feelings.
Wishing for her happiness and getting rid of her suffering is called mercy.
Let's have mercy.
No matter what happens in the future.

It's the opposite pattern, isn't it?

　There are many opposite patterns in stories like this, but it's proof that you really care about her.
Sorry, but I'm against Christmas in Japan. In the first place, it is contrary to religious rites that it is used for such a different purpose even though Christ's birthday is a day of celebration, but this is also evidence that Christian proselytism went well, and it leaves some frustration for Buddhists.
Why don't you spend time with the Buddha's girlfriend on her birthday? It falls on 4/8. The city is not decorated with Buddha's decorations, but if you go to a temple, there is a flower mido, and you can see a completely unusual scene.
Let's celebrate Buddha and go on a date with her. The shapes are like you haven't met, so plan your own.

well, isn't it? (laughs)

After all, she's a member of society, isn't she?
She has her own circumstances.
From now on, there will be a lot of things that you, too, will have to close your eyes to.

It's a week before Christmas, right?

If so,
No matter what kind of party it is
It doesn't matter, does it?

For women,
December 24/25 is important,
The rest of the days shouldn't be that big.

I'm going to spend that important day with you,
I'm not disrespecting you.
I want you to take her feelings into account.
