Three unique ways to make the Big Ask this Christmas

And yes, there will be another Christmas this year! There is no escaping it. It's like taxes. But this year you want it special. You want to take this opportunity to make the Great Ask. You've been thinking about it for a while but you don't really know how to do it. In privacy? With family or friends? The 24th at midnight a little tipsy or the 25th at the in-laws. Stop asking yourself all these questions, we are here to help you. Here are three original ways to declare your true and great love.

Nothing better than having an accomplice you appreciate. Fernand is the uncle who makes you laugh, always in a good mood and who you hope to see arrive early to brighten up the family party. Here is the plan; during New Year's Eve, Fernand approaches your lover and slips her a good-sized gift, telling her that he appreciates it and that this year, he wants to give her a gift. You find the gesture nice while making fun of him and his idea. You leave the room claiming some sort of mission. Slightly uncomfortable, your girlfriend opens the gift which is slightly in bad taste; sexy underwear for example. You calmly return to them and you intervene with your uncle, telling him that it is inappropriate. You take the piece of clothing in your hand, revealing a small box of jewelry just below. Increasingly uncomfortable and confused, your lover sees the box containing an engagement ring . In our opinion, this is the moment when you and your partner start laughing to break the awkwardness. Perplexed, your lover quickly realizes that she has been trapped. From an embarrassing situation, this turns into a major surprise. She will tell you yes, it's a flawless plan.

It's true. You haven't been around each other for much time but you feel that this person is finally the one and that it's mutual. You want to give her a ring with a magnificent diamond and ask her to marry you, come what may. For this Christmas, make sure you have a decorated tree and a little nativity scene under the tree, even if you haven't taken it out for several years. As tradition dictates, the Jesus of the manger must be hidden until December 24 at midnight. The moment can obviously vary but we suggest that you be alone with her, around the tree, exchanging your gifts. At a well-chosen moment, ask your lover to take out little Jesus, revealing his hiding place to place him in the center of the nativity scene. To her surprise, an engagement ring is attached to it. If you sense any discomfort, all you have to do is tell him that a miracle has happened and that you have nothing to do with it. If, on the contrary, the idea seems to delight him, you can tell him that in fact, little Jesus and you are in good agreement. In front of a witness she will say yes to you in all her beautiful innocence.

December, like all months ending in "Ember", is a time to feast on fresh oysters and Christmas is often the last opportunity for large tables of this pearl mollusk. A great amateur, you know that it's not just pearls that can be hidden in this shell. The jewelry from your marriage proposal can also be slipped in with a hint of vinegar, lemon or tabasco. Here you are at the table with your future wife and you are ideally with your closest friends, accomplices of your request. You know it, everyone knows it, she's been waiting for him for a while. Oddly, the oyster with the parsley stalk remains on the plate until your girlfriend makes her choice. Time stops for a moment, everyone hoping she doesn't swallow the engagement ring with the oyster. Fortunately, the clash of textures does not allow this. She looks at you, accomplice. Finally, you've made up your mind, it's a sure yes.

A marriage proposal is probably the best gift you can give this Christmas. What's more romantic than a gold ring set with a diamond or moissanite , accompanied by a vow of love and commitment.
