One day 'til Christmas Day

Christmas Day
Mild and clearing
Presents galore
Friends and Family

[Marie-Alice Maire; France]




[haiga by Ana Drobot; Romania]



Christmas morning
the solemn quiet in the house
of empty nesters
[Adelaide Shaw; USA]




savor of fruit tags
a circle of sliced pears to
the Christmas salad
