There's something sweet about a simple Christmas. Now it's Christmas Eve. It's quiet and the excitement of gifts and good food and great company has ended last night, an early celebration.
I've come to realize this night, that a combination of a few things make for a sweet, simple Christmas Eve. Irish cream, Hemingway, and the warm and golden glow of the lit fireplace.
I'm having quite a lovely evening, in this quiet simplicity.
Merry Christmas Eve.
Thanks, Janna, for this.
ReplyDeleteWe celebrated early this year, too, & I am aware of a bit of the inevitable melancholy that comes with an empty house again. But yes there are sweet and wonderful simple things for which to be thankful - along with "the warm and golden glow of the lit fireplace."
Quiet simplicity. Ah, yes.
