A Christmas Verse The night starts to bloom Out from the somber And animates the celebration Of Christmas All spotlights flashes Green-red-black-white Hues of December festivity It is the night before Christmas And the Choir sings Chorus that warmth hearts While shop toys are filled With gathering crowds And pavements clustered Of happy hearts and minds Everybody's busy with the day While childish hearts Dream eyes wide open Of the bearded Santa Claus Saying Ho!Ho!Ho! In his sleigh replenished of gifts Pulled by majestic reindeers 25th December - The scent of pines And frou-frou ornaments Under - Gifts left by some kind of ghost.

The other day I went to a glass-painting workshop at the Mauritius glass gallery, where I have chosen this geometrical paperweight to paint a reindeer and a Christmas tree on it. Also, luckily for us the cyclone is gone, else it would have ruined the festivities.
