Christmas Red Wine Disaster? Area Rug Stain Rescue by Luv-A-Rug
I should have known this year’s Christmas gathering was going to be… spirited.
For one thing, I invited the kind of friends who treat “just one glass” the same way toddlers treat naps: theoretically possible, but highly unlikely.
Second, every Christmas for the last four years, something spectacular has happened to my poor Persian rug.
Every year, without fail.
A new saga.
A new stain.
A new story that starts with, “Well, it wasn’t exactly my fault…”
And a phone call to Luv-A-Rug the next morning.
So when the inevitable Christmas Red Wine Disaster happened (this year courtesy of my friend Melissa’s wildly enthusiastic holiday toast), I didn’t panic.
Not even a flutter.
Red wine arced across the living room like a festive waterfall of doom.
It splashed on the sofa (fine).
It sprinkled the curtains (replaceable).
But when it splattered across my beloved Persian rug—again—everyone froze.
Everyone except me.
“Oh, don’t worry,” I said cheerfully, blotting the rug with the confidence of a woman who has survived no fewer than three previous holiday fiascos.
“This is officially our annual Christmas Red Wine Disaster. Luv-A-Rug knows exactly what to do.”
My guests looked at me as if I were performing some kind of Santa-approved miracle.
Year One:
Cranberry sauce slip + nephew with questionable aim.
Year Two:
Chocolate fondue incident (we don’t talk about it).
Year Three:
Christmas Red Wine Disaster AND an overly enthusiastic dog who mistook the rug for a personal spotlight during his “look at me!” zoomies.
Let’s just say:
Luv-A-Rug has seen things.
Done things.
Fixed things.
They’ve brought my rug back from the kind of chaos that should require therapy.
This Year’s Christmas Red Wine Disaster?
Child’s play compared to last time’s “dog went viral in the living room” moment.
Melissa kept apologizing, hand over her mouth.
“I can’t believe I spilled it on your beautiful rug!”
I patted her on the shoulder.
“It’ll be fine. Luv-A-Rug has rescued this rug so many times, I’m pretty sure it considers them family.”
I swear the rug nodded in agreement.
The next morning, with coffee in one hand and mild shame in the other, I called Luv-A-Rug.
“Hi, it’s me again,” I said, like a regular calling into a radio show.
“We had another Christmas Red Wine Disaster. Yes… one of those nights. Yes, the Persian rug. Yes, that Persian rug. You already have a file on it? Oh good.”
They didn’t laugh.
They didn’t judge.
They simply said the words I live for every December:
“We’ll bring it back to life.”
And they always do.
The Ending (As Always):
The rug comes home looking flawless.
Like nothing ever happened.
Like the wine never flew.
Like the dog never celebrated his existence all over it.
My friends are amazed.
My rug is relieved.
And I?
I’m already planning next year’s gathering because, truly, nothing says holiday tradition like a beautifully restored Persian rug and one more Christmas Red Wine Disaster added to the scrapbook.
