The sparkle of Christmas

 The expectation.

The excitement. 

As we wait for Christmas day,

it stays with me.

The sparkle of Christmas

Our Tree is always a biggie,

 part of our Christmas tradition.

It gets covered in stuff, 

things the girls have made,

 old treasured pieces handed down

 from grandparents.

Even some dog chewed ornaments

Stuff.

 And the joy,

 an angel for each of the 

 little gorgeous ones.

A Mish Mash.

No designer - colour coding here 

just ornaments  put on

each with a thought

 a memory.

The sparkle of Christmas.

The lights set up in homes and gardens 

Miss C-B "never ever" wanted to leave this place.
Guess in the law of only her it was the best garden ever!!

Those Christmas lights shimmering all over town.

Car loads of people driving around the streets

 enjoying the magic,

 children tumbling out of cars squealing with delight.

Watching their little faces light up with joy

as they too get to enjoy
 the magic sparkle of Christmas.

And the people who spend  so much time

 and effort to give

a magical sparkle to Christmas

too so many

 thankyou.
