Stars twinkle brightly,
Emitting Christmas lights,
Glowworms glow like candle flames,
Setting scenes of delight.
All the trees that proudly stand,
Rooted to the ground,
Need no glass but just the leaves,
For beauty to be bound.
Stockings need not to be checked,
For life’s a gift right away,
And everybody we come across,
Is Santa anyway.
Some might gift us memories,
Some might gift us life,
Some might gift us betrayal,
To make us stronger through the strife.
To hear “living” birds chirp,
Is to hear Christmas carols play,
And when the world shall stand as one,
It’s Christmas everyday!!

It truly is a blessing for all of us. I really like what you said there. Get along, blog and create. Lovely. I sometimes wish the world was WordPress in that context.
The dish sounds delish. Tamales are quintessential south American, aren’t they?
Love.
