A family's night before Christmas. This is olden time. It has snowed. |

Holiday Gift The stars twinkled clearly on the cold and clear Christmas Eve night. I felt the wind blow and chill my cheeks. I stopped to tighten the straps on the snowshoes my mother let me borrow for walking to work. She wanted to make fresh hot cocoa when I came home . As I bent over I saw a lovely red ornament that someone must have dropped. Our little tree only had hand carved figures so I saved this ornament for our tree. I looked at some icicles that sparkled in the street light. Tonight the family would eat and then sing songs. It was a nice custom to enjoy on the upcoming holiday. Before the first song, little brother Ray said “I saw deer tracks in the snow in the street before I came in.” We all smiled and imagined Santa driving his deer down the street to leave presents and sweets for families with children. This was a happy thought that entered my mind as I fell asleep. |
