Christmas Celebration

CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION 

            Now to recollect Happy Christmas Days,
           While raising up daughters studying in school                     
           So enthusiastic, also in craze
          to decorate Christmas Tree! Kids cheerful.

          Going on preparation, children in glee.
          Candles to glow, shining stars to twinkle.    
          Putting Santa Claus beside Christmas Tree,
           Smiling face of Santa showing wrinkle.

         Me and my daughters to tie long strong string.
         Small brass-made golden jingle bells in knot,
         swinging swift with soft sound as they could bring
        to welcome guests big Christmas cake being brought.

        Reminiscence yields past Christmas story.
       Now lone life ruminates bygone glory.

It is very hard to celebrate the holidays after children leave the nest. I was pretty lonely until my daughter gave me a granddaughter. Now the holidays are filled with joy once again as I watch my granddaughter very often. Congratulations on your placement. I hope you had a lovely holiday! : )
