Magic is what Christmas is all about.
I’ll be exploring that today and tomorrow.
One of this year’s very magical moments happened yesterday.
In Southern California, it had rained. And rained. And then–it rained. A huge winter storm, snarling the freeways and making travel a challenge.
But hearing the rain on the roof, with Christmas music playing, was magical.
We saw the lights of our neighbors’ houses glowing, ate gingerbread (a quick Christmas tip–less molasses for an old-fashioned gingerbread “cake” recipe makes it less sticky and REALLY good!) and put on our LED candles. (As mentioned before, we are ruled by felines. Any other kind would be a little treacherous!)
And then, the sun set.
We had a stormy sky, and a glow in the West that made the piled-up clouds look like an illuminated ski slope. Could there, possibly, be a rainbow?
We ran outside to find out.
Ohhhh….
A perfect one, arching over right where we were. Like having our world wrapped up in a ribbon with a “bow”.
Now, what have been some of the most magical moments for you, during your Christmas season 2019?
