Hello everybody. I am new to this site and I need some feedback on an idea I have to propose to my girlfriend. She is crazy about Christmas and has been bugging me about getting a Christmas tree for my house. So I was planning on getting a tree and decorating it in only lights and have her ring wrapped hanging as the only ornament on the tree all throughout the season. Then, on Christmas Eve I'll build a fire in the fireplace and let her open her gift and propose. What do you all think?

My fiance proposed to me without a ring while I was hacking and sniffling in bed in my mismatched pajamas with cats crawling on me. It was still a wonderful moment.

I would put the ring up the night before, like the others mentioned.
You could decorate your tree with cheap stuff prio to christmas(dollar tree decorations). Then make some extra ornaments with letters on them (Will you marry me) On Christmas Eve or early Christmas morning when shes still sleeping or sometime when she wont be around arrange the will you marry me ornaments on the tree with the ring. She will wake up, find the tree with the message and ring and then you propose. Anyway you do it good luck! and happy proposing!
Good luck and have fun with it!
That sounds like a beautiful idea. I agree with putting it on the day before instead of leaving it on all season. If it is the only ornament on the tree, she will sneak a peak. I don't know a single girl who could resist looking for a whole month.
my FI (then BF) wanted to do this idea b/c my mom does a scavenger hunt for one gift every year. He ended up proposing in May, so that idea didn't work out, but I definitely teared up when he told me that idea!! p.s. I am also very obsessed with christmas
I would totally open that ONE ornament if it were me
good luck!!
FWIW Mr Lil's original proposal got ruined when the chocolate egg he bought to put the ring in melted (he's british, he buys me kinder eggs because they are hollow and have a litle plastic egg inside with a toy and I collect the toys). So he ended up just getting down on one knee and proposing and to be honest, as long as I got something sparkly I couldn't have cared less how elaborate it was haha.
