The Magic of Christmas Morning

Welcoming Christmas, with the birth of Christ as family gather round the Christmas tree. 
                     Quote by_ poet

As they slept, winter welcome Christmas night.
The moon upon a clear fixed starry night
used its immutable alluring charm.
The icy winds howled pilling up snow drifts.

The morning warm sun rose to a sparkling
crystalline rug of snow and trees buckling.
Gray smoke rose from the fire in the fireplace
drifting into the air from chimney top.

You never outgrow the need to get up early
on Christmas morning, a favorite part 
with family round the tree and children's
faces glowing as they open their gifts.

Sam Kauffman November 29, 2022 at 12:11 PM Oh Eve, what wonderful memories you have brought back to me especially getting up early on Christmas morning, building a fire in the fireplace, tea and English muffins and orange marmalade as the fire warmed the chill of the house as we opened gifts in a quilted robe and fuzzy slippers. You have highlighted the rhythm of Christmas day so beautifully. Thank you for this early Christmas gift. Advent blessings dear friend.
