Christmas Morn

Christmas Morn The tree is lit,illuminating gifts under it's branches. The stairs start creaking and children are peeking. Descending ,with oohs and awes. The desire to open the gifts is a tempting invitation. For now they sit with eyes so big, to ponder brightly wrapped gifts , encased with their names on. Desiring to see a parent come and say, time to see what santa has left for you. Then the opening begins, pleasantly providing enjoyment for the parents to see their children's fun. Paper tossed all around, The gifts opened one by one. Anne Rutherford Copyright 2008 Poems From The Heart Series

This is very nice. The opening of Gifts, one by one, is my favorite Christmas tradition.

Gosh, I have such fond memories of Christmas morning. My deceased son, Joshua, would wake up at 3:00am and try to get his younger brother, Jonathan, up too. But, he would have none of it. So, Joshua thought he would do us a favor and open them all so we could get some sleep!! Nice write...Hugs, Holly Moore
