Hey, what did you get for Christmas? I got pajamas, fancy towels, and a book on gender! I think that's pretty great, but the 12 couples in this slideshow probably think their gift was better -- they all got engaged over the holidays (i.e. the period between Thanksgiving and New Year's). There are so many, I thought we should keep a running list cause clearly a trend is afoot. As a formerly engaged on New Year's Eve person, I am now anti-holiday engagement. But that's because my engagement ended and I am reminded of that every New Year's. But I'm glad it worked out that way, so it's a nice reminder that I'm not married to that guy, but also, I would rather not be reminded of him at all on a holiday, you know? Well, whatever, good luck to these celeb couples who all got engaged during the holiday season! I really don't mean to be a downer.
