Holiday

No Place Like Home (Full Version)
Raindrops broke the surface tension in the pool, piercing the water in tight circles and dissolving into nothingness. So began our Christmas Day this year – a dreary sunless sky composed of silence. No sounds of laughter, holiday greetings, or excited dogs. Just a disquiet peace. I made coffee and started to make breakfast hoping the smells of biscuits and bacon would rouse the rest of the sleeping family.

Tales of Hearth
It was stormy, continuously snowing. The town almost seemed to have become a mere solidified, quiet world because of the snow heaped much against the wall. There was a little house settled by the edge of the forest, however, which had put in opposition to that cold. The windows were bright with warmth, a glowing house in the bite of the night.

No Place Like Home
Just the three of us. We had celebrated Christmas Eve together the day before, my husband, my younger son, my older son and daughter-in-law, and their 3-month-old son. They lugged the car seat, diaper bag, and bottles inside, along with a few other odds and ends. We had set aside other essentials for them to take back with them, and I Aunt Bethany’d some of their Christmas presents by wrapping up everyday things we were giving them like shop towels and Advil. I overdid the baking and 14 tins of assorted cookies were filled. Jars and bowls had candy and chocolate-covered pretzels. Their stockings overflowed. I made arroz con picadillo for an early dinner and eggnog pie

Tales of Mary's Hearth and Heart.
In a cozy little apartment in Brooklyn NY lived Mary Hutcherson, she had occupied this same space for more than forty years. The house was a three story townhouse made of brick and fronted with a brownstone facade. In New York City, brownstones can be seen everywhere.

The Last Leaf in the Wind
The Last Leaf in the Wind The air was sharp with the bite of late November as the townsfolk gathered in the square, scarves wrapped tightly and breaths visible in the cold. Children chased each other with laughter while their parents sipped hot cider from steaming mugs. All eyes were on the ancient oak tree at the heart of the town, its wide branches bare except for one stubborn leaf that clung to the highest twig.

Sweet Memories
In the core of a clamoring city, in the midst of the transcending high rises and the perpetual murmur of metropolitan life, dwelled a gathering of four uncommon people: Aryan, Areba, Nisha, and Villon. Limited by a rugged obligation of kinship, they shared innumerable giggling filled minutes, genuine discussions, and remarkable undertakings.
