Short and sweet. Christmas trees have an ageless magic, and yes, hope.

yes indeed ... well said !

(my Christmas tree is only about a foot wide
   and 2 1/2 ft. tall ... so I guess he would
     qualify well for this poem's title?!)

Our littlest trees can sometimes mean so much more. Provocative write. Thank you Lori.

Sparks dance in the tree:
heart doors open to new hope
Love connects all souls



Your beautiful Christmas thoughts inspire, dear Lori!

Love,

I've always thought smaller things are better- a single rose instead of a dozen...Makes you appreciate it more. Enjoyed.
