Christmas Eve
The night the entire family gathers.
The night you take a photo of the family dressed in red.
The night Santa drops a sheet-wrapped bundle in the backyard.
The night you hear sleigh bells on reindeer.
The night you get to open some presents.
The night Christmas lights gleam everywhere you look.
The night all the presents are wrapped and under the tree.
The night the refrigerator is stuffed with the Christmas edibles.
The night you can give a hugh sigh of relief as the stores are finally closed and you can't buy one more present even if you wanted to (which you don't).
The night you sing every carol you know.
The night it all began.
The night the Spirit of Christmas gifts each of us with a peaceful silence in our hearts.
Merry Christmas!
