♪ Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight!
We’re happy tonight,
Walking in a winter wonderland! ♪
The music would fade in and out as you stood stock-still in the threshold between the hall and living room of your home, as your eyes were wide and focused on the seasonal beauty who was crouched before the evergreen tree you had spent all of last week decorating. You had left the radio on before bed to keep the mood set for Christmas tomorrow, when your family would bustle in like a great many elves and shower your abode in Christmas spirit, eggnog stains, and yuletide laughter of exchanged gifts. You had long ago accepted the tale of “Jolly Old Saint Nicholas” as just another children’s story - a figure that was not only friendly, but reminded those babes to behave themselves during the season. This moment, however, made you wonder how anyone could have thought a fat, bearded elf could have been accepted as the Christmas icon, instead of this sparkling fey of golden wings and antlers whose delicate white-furred form was gently setting presents beneath your tree. She was beyond any sort of beauty that you had seen before; she rivaled the beauty of a frozen river edged in thick snow and tweeting birds, shone brighter than any strand of store-bought lights in the town square’s Christmas tree or statues of angels that were dusted clean of cobwebs for this one time of year in the park. She was the Season Personified with those honey eyes turning in your direction and a warm, friendly smile on her face- voluminous hair flowing down her back as she whispered with a small present in her delicate hands.
“Merry Christmas. You should go back to sleep; you are going to be very busy tomorrow.”
As if on cue, your eyes were as heavy as cement bags, and you fell into the couch beside you as the last thing you saw was that beautiful face in the light of the tree. The next morning there was pounding on the door that awoke you from your slumber- your family arriving to visit you. It was a lovely day as you chatted with those you had not seen through the year, and those you saw every other day, but your minds still lingered to the Christmas Spirit who had been in your home the night before.
