nestled all snug in their beds

By

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.
And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap.

Christmas Eve is often a day full of anticipation. Whether it’s a child imagining Santa loading up the sleigh for his long flight, or adults planning and waiting for the cheerful celebration to come. We may have expectations and visions of what the holiday will hold for us. So this Christmas Eve, take a moment to breathe, relax and soak in the moment for what it is, rather than what you may have imagined it to be.

Grab your camera and snap away at what surrounds you. And as always, share the love with all of us!

  10. 'Take a moment…' – I like that. Thank you for reminding me to do that. Love, peace, joy, hope and all other good things to you for this Christmas and always.

  12. Like most people who have commented I had a lovely quiet Christmas Eve managing to even fit in a long overdue Blog update and browse through the Shutter Sisters posts that I have missed.

    Tomorrow is when it all gets hectic lots of family visiting and masses of food to be prepared. Luckily the cakes and other desserts have been made over the past week by myself and my two sisters.

    My favourite time of the year.

    Have a merry Christmas everyone and all the best for the new year.

    Take care of one another

    John
