Silence dwelled the globe as 

gifts of shimmering snow swayed 

like drifting in a dream. The gears to 

scattering joy had just begun clicking

on the clock of forever. 

It is though the music orchestrating in 

the background that brought the fire in 

the fireplace to life, as had the spirits 

of the birth of Christ arose. 

Human notes of music played only faint

memories in the lips of the elves 

tucked deep in the North pole. 

It stayed as a flicker of light, reminding 

the veiled meaning of the yearly missions 

to spread gifts wrapped in gleaming papers 

of cherry red and deep green to kids

all over the universe of Earth. 

—Christmas is a time for happiness to be spread :))
