Twinkling

Homemade eggnog, as much as you wish.  Freshly whipped cream, the same.  Sparkle lights and polar bears.  Little Smokies and Gouda cheese.  Red ribbon wrapped round and round.  A bin of long-awaited Christmas books brought in from the barn and surrounded by children in blanket nests.  Dancing girls and tractor pancakes.  Chocolate letters tucked in wooden shoes.  An empty cradle, aglow and waiting.  

And twinkling- twinkling everywhere.
