Christmas

needles fur with a softened new blanket. Sun dancing across the sparkle lit frost. Crisp mountain air steaming warn lips and noses. Rosey cheeks and children's laughter. Choirs singing and church bells ringing. paper wrapping and cookies baking. The scent of a holiday home, a mothers loving hug . Santa's belly, wiggles like jelly. A story time for a child, a video visit for a soldier. A snuggle in front of the fireplace, a kiss under the mistletoe. The next day family will go, until the next year for another house full of cheer.
