Christmas Writing 11: I Heard the Bells On Christmas Day

 

I Heard the Bells On Christmas Day

December 5, 2024


The excitement she felt on Christmas Eve was a tangible commodity. If it could be wrapped up and sold, it would contain enough energy to power a hundred households. Lying in bed was pure torture yet here she had to lie because that was expected of one at night. The radio sent out Christmas songs, which she silently sung. Sleep never did arrive as morning light crept  around the room darkening blinds. There was a certain glee when the Church Bells chimed  allowing her to rise, climb the golden stairs and wrap her grandchildren in her Christmas love.
