at holidays

I try to remember

the good ones

outnumber bad ones

let good memories

carry my heart

not allow bad ones

to sink it like a stone

holiday magic

freshly baked cookies
aroma filling up rooms
igniting taste buds

hot chocolate mugs
steam tickling our noses
warming our tummies

warm colorful lights
brighten the cold winter sky
holiday magic

firecracker

she was always a firecracker

her light would sparkle the night sky

a bit loud and unpredictable

there was a time

there was a time

when Christmas was

magical – in a

child’s eyes

but as we grow

it looses its charms

commercialization

takes over

then it becomes just

another holiday spent

digging into pockets

for gifts

even if when we

come back to the

reason for the season

and reclaim that magic

it is still not the same

without your child’s eyes

- For those who celebrate, Merry Christmas.
