Calm on the outside.

On the inside,
Lights twinkle
Bread rises
Carols play
Bourbon is splashed in eggnog
Presents are wrapped
Greens are hung
Christmas china is loved
Visions of sugarplums dance
Green beeswax candles are in the candelabras
Beds are fluffed and puffed
A fire crackles
Two Kitchen Aid mixers are whirling
Cards await writing...
Anticipation is growing
Joy abounds.
This Christmas we have newlyweds and newly betrothed. From a Mother's heart I say, the birth of your babies brings joy only matched by those very babies finding their one and only.
Joy, Contentment, Love, Peace, to all.
