Christmas was always magical; and still brings out the child in me. Yet, I yearn for a simpler time when innocence was still in bloom. Although holidays come and go, Christmas was always magical. It's the season carolers' sing; and friendly neighbors wave and smile. Reindeer once adorned our rooftops, and townsfolk strung up colored lights. Christmas was always magical, and I yearn for that time again. I yearn for those childhood moments; fantasy shunned reality. And though Santa was make-believe, Christmas was always magical.

Emile, congratulations on your win in Constance's contest! You beautifully express the innocence of children filled with the magic of Christmas~if only as adults we could rekindle. Blessings, Paulette

Christmas always so magical mostly at night with all the colorful lights, blow up figures that decorate the houses and front lawns. Then the Christmas tree full of light and so many Christmas presents that make the child in us smile. Lovely write, my friend. Congratulations on your win.

Thanks, Ann, Christmas has lost some of its magic over the years, and I do miss the fantasy side of the Holliday my friend, Emile.
