Through the eyes of a child

Do you remember when YOU were a child, and it was the holidays,

Finally!! it was here! 

Cold noses pressed against cold windows,

presents wrapped up in glitter and string,

stockings hung at the end of the bed,

waiting for Santa and what he may bring.

And there was the magic, oh yes.

and the absolute certainty that anything was possible.

Through the eyes of a child we find the joy of Christmas.

in their hearts we find its meaning.

Merry Christmas 

 from my house to yours
