Christmas Dance

My last post before Christmas.  May I wish a Happy and Holy Christmas to all, and a healthy New Year.  ~~  Victor

*****
Someone saw me dance in the town's square covered with white snow around the decorated pine. The lights blinked brightly, pseudo parcels hang here and there, music murmured muted carols as midnight slowly neared. On top of the pine, a star was shining strong and silvery, all around the branches green tinsel sparkled joyously. Beneath the tree, a manger stood reminding me of days gone by, when a poor couple arrived at a small but crowded town. There was no place for them. The child was born in poverty, in the town named after bread. Is there a place for Him now? Someone saw me, but went on alone towards his dreams. I danced unaided around the tree.

An awesome Christmas dance Victor, I have never lived in a country with snow as here in South Africa, we see snow perhaps every 10 - 12 years. A wonderful, blessed Christmas Victor and a New Year full of joy and lovely surprises. Hugs, Jennifer.
