white Christmas snowflakes-
a pine tree shines in winter light;
time for togetherness
snow falls in the woods;
a mantel of happiness
envelops my heart
frosted country road-
a pine tree stands tall
by calm blue waters
on a winter morning-
snow sprinkles bright cheer
from a generous sky
sparkling reindeer-
gifts of peace and love
cover the earth
on Christmas day,
snow angels bring hope-
rejoicing in harmony

What a Merry White Christmas it was today! It started snowing on Christmas Eve right before midnight, as we were heading to midnight Mass. This Christmas morning, we woke up to blue, sunny skies and snow-covered grass and pine trees. I took a wonderful walk by the lake and in the woods in the countryside of Connecticut. We spent a lovely Christmas with our family and great scenic views. Enjoy my photographs and haiku!
