Merry Xmas

We wake with a jolt, look at the clock, race down the hall, race down the stairs. 

We gather around, point and laugh, stare and cry. We squeal with delight (mostly me). We sit down to unwrap. 

We rip open boxes, tear off paper, cheer and smile and dance with joy. We anxiously hope that others like our gifts, even though they always do. 

We spend time together. We laugh, we play, we eat, we hug, we celebrate. 

For me, Christmas is about family, love, celebration, and happiness. For me, Christmas is about “we”. 

Happy holidays, no matter what you celebrate and why. Be safe, be grateful, be kind…

And wish for lots of books. 🙂
