      Eli D’Amato is content spending Christmas by himself. His children are visiting relatives and it leaves Eli some much-needed quiet time before he gears up for NYE celebrations. When a visit from his acrimonious ex-wife ruins those plans, they have an unforgettable Christmas.

      The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world. -Marianne Williamson

      It’s Like That

      It was him, his notepad and pen, and The Emotions.

      Eli D’Amato focused on his goals for the upcoming year as he listed as many things possible. He always made a rule – list goals he knows he should attain, the goals he will attain, and the ones that are impossible. It was a guarantee he was going to complete at least one from each category.

      What Do The Lonely Do at Christmas blared in his corner office at Madre’s Manhattan headquarters while a steaming cup of hot cocoa was carefully placed on a corner of his desk. After a holiday gathering for the Madre’s employees, it was just Eli alone in the shop.

      Gain ten pounds of muscle.

      Eli knew he probably didn’t need to gain anymore weight. After working out for years, he was finally happy with his physique – not too bulky, but not too skinny. He kept his muscular build rather streamlined and was happy with the results. Still, it didn’t hurt him to become a bit more in shape. With his mother’s famous cuisine, Eli needed all the help he could get.

      Start saying no.

      That was always a stickler for Eli. While Joey had no problem turning down requests, Eli always wanted to accommodate people, even against his better judgment. Was he really going to say no to Girl Scouts of America? Was he really going to say no to Make-A-Wish Foundation? Was he going to turn down a grieving widower who wanted last minute flowers for his wife’s grave?

      It was why Madre’s the primer floral shop in all of New York. It was why the eponymous reality show was a smash hit, averaging 15 million viewers every week. It was why the D’Amato family was wealthier, and Eli’s fortune grew from $25 million to well over $300 million in just a few years.

      Of course, the money wasn’t all Eli’s. Whatever he had, so did his four brothers and mother. They were all wealthy on their own but Eli wanted a fair playing field between them. His fame was theirs. His money was theirs. Everyone loved how Eli was so personable despite his wealth and fame.

      He made a correction: Start saying no. Start trying to say no.

      He took a sip of the peppermint hot chocolate and thought about his next goal. It was disconcerting how easily it came to his head and the thought made the soothing beverage taste suddenly chalky. He put down the cup and began writing again.

      Start dating again.

      The thought made him feel uncomfortable. Only 33, Eli was certainly young enough to entertain a girlfriend or two (or five). While he’d briefly dated – and got his face plastered in the gossip blogs because of it – Eli wasn’t sure if settling down was a goal he wanted to attain. He was still reeling from his divorce and the hefty child support payments were a reminder why maybe he should stay single for the rest of the his life.

      While he had no shortage of action – his bed was never empty and his dick stayed wet – having a girlfriend meant a commitment he didn’t want to give to anyone. God was his first love, followed by his children, brothers and mother, then Madre’s. He simply didn’t have time for any woman in that.

      I thought you would’ve been long gone by now, Joseph Joey D’Amato entered the shared office with his brother. President and COO of Madre’s, Joey was the brains behind the business. Their mother, Nicola, was the face, while Eli was the talent behind the designs. Joey also acted as Eli’s manager, brokering million-dollar deals for his younger sibling.

      Doing my goals for next year, Eli replied. I’ll be out of here soon, though.

      That was nice what you did for the employees, Joey added, I know those bonuses are going to come in handy for a lot of families.

      Not everyone is like us and I remember how we each didn’t get a lot of gifts growing up. Eli replied. His family grew up
