Merry Christmas
Ashley Evans
May your home hum with old songs and soft laughter,
your kitchen smell like butter and something baking just a minute too long,
and your heart feel full in that quiet, holy way Christmas brings.
Here’s to twinkling lights that stay up past January,
hands wrapped around warm mugs,
stories told for the hundredth time,
and love that feels handmade and well-worn.
May this Christmas be gentle, magical, and a little whimsical—
the kind you tuck away and remember on ordinary days.
