In Dad's Arms

Christmas eve cuddled with dad on the couch by the tree fighting sleep milk and cookies waiting up for Santa …bursting… with overwhelming excitement and joy forever etched in my inner child’s eye AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on December 4, 2018 fro contest CHRISTMAS TREE sponsored by SHADOW HAMILTON

I wish you all the cheerfulness and happiness this next year. May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Considering I had my tree up since Halloween this year, I might be ready for it to be over earlier than usual. I needed extra cheerfulness at home this fall. Thanks for your much appreciated visit and comment, Timothy.
