Christmas Glow

This doesn’t & shouldn’t reflect every Christmas story & it is insane how many aspire to it even if we all do Christmas differently, which is okay & how it should be.

At eventide, lights twinkle

in the cold night, families gather

the warmth of home envelops.

 

Children's laughter echoes through the halls

gifts placed beneath the evergreen sentinel.

The table set, a feast awaits

 

rich aromas of roasted meats and spiced wine.

Faces aglow with anticipation

stories shared, traditions honoured.

 

In this moment, love’s essence crystallises

the spirit of giving, a tangible presence

binding hearts in unspoken harmony.

Author's Note

This does not and should not reflect every Christmas story and it sometimes is insane how many aspire to it even if we all do Christmas differently, which is okay and the way it should be. How is Christmas at yours and how has it changed over the years?
