the greatest thing you'll ever learn,
is to love and be loved.
is to love and be loved.
The Spirit of Christmas
Saturday, December 16, 2006 ( 5:21 PM )
I'm craving chocolate.
Luscious, flowing, dark chocolate,
alongside strawberries and cream;
little chunks of milk chocolate,
dipped into a glass of pure milk;
and a cup of hot chocolate,
topped with sweet marshmallow nuggets.
As we sit beneath the blinking lights of the Christmas tree,
smiling as we lay in each other's embrace,
laughing as we hold our hands over the fireplace,
we reminisce those sweet memories;
Taking a walk in the cold,
past the lovers skating on the ice,
we glide away from them, hand in hand,
cutting through frost with our warmth;
Wandering through the streets,
as we admire the yellowed lights,
and feeling the love all around,
from the smiles of strangers.
The magic of Christmas,
alive and roaring in our hearts.
Why does xmas always seem so magical?
Is it 'cos of the presents, of the generosity that the media has commercialised and associated with xmas?
Perhaps it's something beyond our comprehension.
Or maybe, it's because of the dimmed lighting; maybe it's got some kind of psychological effect on us all. Maybe that's what got us all mesmerised and brainwashed into nicer people.
Whatever it is,
Christmas is my favourite time of year,
and the happy, lovely atmostphere is just icing on a very sweet cake.
