Christmas Magic

It's happening...

That ol' Christmas magic...

I love our old family country house at Christmas time...

I love the peace and quiet...

The remoteness from all the traffic,

and hussle and bustling city life.

This place is a glimpse of days gone by...

Days when my grandparents lived here,

and as children,

we all gathered here for the holiday dinners.

Ribbons and the scent of fresh pine..

Candle light...

The gathering of family and friends...

Oranges and cloves,

Cinnamon and more spice...

I love bringing in the greens, red berries...

Adding silk and old lace...

Candles and ribbon...

Yards and yards of ribbon...

Trailing across table tops.

We are all abustle,

preparing for the celebration to come.

Noel, noel, noel...

Blessings of Noel
