WHITE CHRISTMAS

I rise from my cozy spindle bed.  The house is asleep, with my brothers and parents still in their beds.  Downstairs the Christmas tree stands tall, with its glistening white lights and colorful ornaments.  Below the tree are beautiful packages, in bright patterned wrappings, topped with  crisp bows. The stockings are hung from the night before, and now bursting with candies and small gifts.   

Outside, all is still.  A fresh coat of crisp sparkling white snow softly blankets our yard.  The snow is perfect and untouched.  The morning sun shines through  our pine trees, as flakes of  sparkling snow fall from rustled branches.  There is something very special about a White Christmas. 
Merry Christmas to all!
