Day 3
{written by the adorable QuestWing }

it's snowing lightly outside. little frost stars are slowly tiptoeing across glass windows, your cat is purring, silently watching the people in their puffy coats taking a walk outside. someone has lit a softly crackling fire, the newspapers peacefully crumbling in surrender to the warm flames. you are handed a mug of hot chocolate with too many marshmallows on top and chocolate shavings, the house smells of sugar cookies fresh out of the oven, your favorite christmas song is surrounding you. your favorite ornaments are taken out, you hang them delicately on the fresh pine tree which fills your nose, you laugh as you quickly sweep up the pieces of a broken ornament. you sit back in your favorite sweater, your hands wrapped around your half empty mug as you admire the newly decorated tree. each time your eye catches a different ornament, you swell with a new kind of joy, recalling the memories that trail behind each decoration. the fire has been reduced to a slow simmer, its embers glowing and casting a warm shine on the few gifts already sitting under the tree. your loved ones join you, sitting anywhere they can to look at the ornaments as well. you are loved. you are safe. you are happy.
