Celebration

Snow falling,
Wind blowing,
Flames burning.

Young and old…
Decorate
Christmas trees.

By firelight:
Children sing
Old church hymns.

what wonderful imagery of a traditional family Christmas, I especially love the final stanza with the children singing but also young and old decorating the tree:-) hugs Jan xx

Yes, they relate a lot to our Christmas celebrations. We don't use the fires because I'm from the tropics...but the children singing will tell a lot about me and my sisters, and the Christmas carol we've been having since I was six. thank you Jan for your visit and hearty comment, :)
