Christmas Wishes

Christmas Eve...

I love looking at the tree, decorated with ornaments new and old

some belonged to my grandparents, from before my dad was born

treasured reminders of family and times long ago




and some were given to me as a child...

they remind me of what it is to be young and believe

whilst in the Yukon I had the fun of taking the wee ones to see Santa

Tezzy wasn't too sure at first...




but with the support of her big brother she was happy to get a little closer and chat about toys and things


the Christmas desires of childhood give way to different wants

peace

kindness

understanding

acceptance

love

may you and yours experience all of these throughout the holidays and into the New Year

Merry Christmas!

How did I miss this? Utterly heartwarming and charming. Lovely to see the children and to journey back in time to my own Christmases past and to move forward with those meaningful single words listed as a Christmas wish list for the future of all.
