“A Perfect Christmas Night”
Faces of Cheribs
Excitement, dis-belief
Surprise, laughter, joy
Fear of the Fat Man
Food for a crowd
Fish!, MaMa’s Lasagna!
Dipping pears in Grampa’s wine
More food than I ever thought existed
Fireplace warm
Hot chocolate, movies
Quiet Carols, Quiet night
O Holy Night
Family Fun
Grandpa’s farm
Games: everyone must play
Side splitting laughter
Following the Star….
Heavenly singers among us
Candlelight calls us
“Fall on your knees”
I wish this night would never end
The evening went way too fast
… A perfect Christmas night.
