It’s Christmas Eve! I’m getting those warm and fuzzy holiday feelings! I can’t wait to experience Asher’s first Christmas with our family. There will be the traditional Polish dinner tonight, and tomorrow opening presents at our house (can’t wait to see him tear into his gifts!), then a big family meal at Grandma’s!
Every year I write a Christmas Poem. Some years it turns out better than others. I was actually afraid it wouldn’t even happen this year. But one day, inspiration hit, and I managed to squeak this poem out.
I don’t think it’s one of my better Christmas poems. Nevertheless, I thought it would be good for me as a writer to share it with you. I hope you enjoy the heartfelt feelings behind these words.
To all my readers far and wide: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
