You’re a star on the tree,
a light in the long winter darkness,
a beacon for joy and magic.
You’re the reason there’s chocolate,
the purpose to music,
the warp and weft of all weavings.
You put the stars in my eyes,
dance a jig in my thoughts
and bring the warmth I need.
Believe in yourself,
this new year is yours
just as it’s mine.
We both have a place,
a moment in time,
a river that overflows with happy.

Note: I wish you all that’s happy, whatever you do or don’t celebrate. We are all brothers and sisters in the mystery of life, all stardust in the universe, all hungry for love and joy. I’ll be taking some time with my family the next few weeks. A million warm holiday hugs!!

And today, we got to use our new snowblower. 😉 We might make beeswax candles, too. I remember it as not easy, but it recommends heating up the wax with a hair dryer! I’m going to give it a go. XOXO

Yeah! More hugs are always welcome. That tree decorated Quincy Market in Boston. It was lovely. My son took a photo and made it the background on his phone. 🙂

The tree is taller than our house. We just admired it, we only brought home pictures. 🙂 Our tree is much more modest.

Hi Brenda, pretty star 🌟.-
Such a beautiful poem … Being the top star on a tree is such a powerful image… Shedding light like stars do… that might be something we could all aim at, figuratively speaking as you say…
Thanks for sharing your light… Merry Christmas and all my best wishes to you. Aquileana 🎄
