a tiny tricycle
decorated in garlands and sparkles
parked in the bike rack at the library
heard the train come through town
softly whistling the tune of jingle bells
watched the people line up
to catch the bus to the airport
taking them somewhere
where people were waiting to see them
turned to say hello
to the man walking his dog
in his Christmas pajamas
spent the day with family and friends
playing and laughing
simply enjoying the celebration
happy Christmas everyone.

absolutely – and – if we’re really lucky, we become a child again on other days too, not but on Christmas Day! I love Christmas Season, the Advent Sundays, calendars, sweet little notes, tiny attentions…..

Your holiday sounds perfect. In fact it was so cozy at first I thought you were quoting LIW the whole time. But then I remembered there weren’t busses and airports on the prairie 😁
