Tidings of Joy
Ribbons dance between her fingers,
Bright paper folds under her smile.
Each tape's press, love lingers,
Gifts grow in a festive pile.
Candles flicker, shadows play,
Laughter weaves through air so crisp.
Mom's hands craft joy, keeping worry at bay,
Sealing each box with a hope-filled twist.
Snow whispers at the window, white,
While inside warmth from her heart does bloom.
Christmas glows in her tender sight,
In our home, her love fills every room.

Evening Stars
Mom twirls with tinsel in her hand,
Around the tree, the lights she wraps.
Each ornament's place, perfectly planned,
Under twinkling stars, winter’s gap.
Pine's fresh scent fills the air,
Her laughter, a melody soft and light.
Golden angels float with care,
In her touch, the tree delights.
Outside, the world wears a snowy coat,
Inside, she weaves our festive thread.
Beneath this tree, our wishes float,
By her love, our hearts are led.

Mistletoe and Gingerbread
Mom hangs mistletoe above,
Cheer spreads with each tack.
Gingerbread scents we all love,
Fill the air, stack by stack.
Her hands weave through tinsel bright,
Ornaments fall into place.
In her eyes, Christmas lights
Mirror the stars' gentle grace.
Cookies shaped like stars and trees,
Icing like fresh fallen snow,
Moments sweet as these,
Make our Christmas glow.
By the fire, she reads tales old,
Outside, the night grows deep.
Her stories, like the fire, hold
Us close as we drift to sleep.
