Christmas is a good time to ask. For one thing, if there's a ring involved, everyone can look at it at Christmas parties. Jewelry always makes a good Christmas present and engagement makes for good holiday memories. And if you ask around holiday time, it gives you plenty of time to plan a spring or summer wedding.
aw thats so sweet!! and you made me laugh with the 'you can show it off at xmas parties'

man i cannot wait to get a good guy who will hopefully propose to me. with a georgus rock. of course i dont care much about the ring but a girl can dream of a 10k d flawless diamond cant she?
