Christmas

There is so much beauty happiness and magic in a beautifully lighted tree.
Our tree decorated by we holds memories of christmases past and the whimsy of the season. Bulbs, reindeer, elves, snowmen and Santa. Every morning when my son Gabriel wakes up he gives me a morning smooch and runs to turn on the Christmas lights. It's the first thing he does when we walk in the door at the end of the day.
The tree makes us happy we sit on the couch before bed and sing Christmas songs with all the lights off except for the tree. We watch it glow as we sing.
I love this time of year.
