Christmas Eve


Christmas Eve is a very special day. Santa's sleigh is just around the corner, bearing reindeer and gifts. Anticipation of Christmas morning and Santa Claus's visit after everyone is snug in their beds with dreams of sugar plums dancing in their heads. It makes me grateful for all of the things that are special to me. Each moment and memory that is my own story in life, I am able to graciously forgive and gain peace.



The fireplace is rolling and brings warmth over hot cider and sugar cookies. Family and friends laugh and share stories over dinner. Christmas cards are on the mantle spreading joy and sentiments of love. The holly hangs over the door and couples share a kiss before entering. Angels light up the trees that are decorated so beautifully.



The elves are finishing wrapping the toys and the bells are jingling in the night. Spirits are as bright as the stars in the sky. Sweet moments and dinners are full of mirth. And Santa's silhouette shadows the winter moon as he as he yells Ho-Ho-Ho. Before he twinkles into your home with his sack full of goodies he smiles and gives a jolly laugh thinking of your surprise when you awake.
