Christmas Dreams

If I close my eyes its almost as if I were back there again standing in a field of snow mitted and scarfed to the chin Front window frosted from our breath iced fingers scribing yes I can almost remember the exact smell of snow... A winter hat edged in fur, warm and fuzzy round my neck big fat snowflakes falling gently while inside, electric heat father appearing from a distance buried in a snow squall mother with her rosary praying for his safe arrival , me tucked under a blanket sleepy eyed and tired praying, I hope Christmas comes soon, and then I fell asleep.

Christmas, what a blessed time of the year. A wonderful write. Wonder what it will be like this year. Guess it will not be like the ones we have had in the past. Enjoy your day and weekend..............

Lovely verse indeed Pixie. I can't imagine being amongst snow, and Christmas Day is always 90 plus degrees. Thank you for sharing this verse Pixie - Lindsay
