Candles scented with winter smells are lit up, sitting on windowsills. Homes filled with warm candlelight. Roasting chestnuts on an open fire. I love Christmas, for it was the day of our dear Savior’s birth. Sadness diminishes whilst peace, joy, and hope replace fears. Tree is decorated, filling hearts with wonder and delight. Merry hearts are brimming with tidings of joy and good cheer. Angels doth on earth appear. Spirit of Christmas fills the air; people seem to sincerely care.

Lovely Acrostic.... dear Sara. The joy of Christmas is palpable in every line when sadness disappears and cheer fills every heart. What a beautiful image of two birds sitting close braving the inclement weather and the sheet of snow.
