One snowy Christmas morning,
I went out to pick the tree
We were going to use.

I saw a beautiful sight.
So wonderful
That it becomes impossible to believe.

Snow.
So white and fresh lying on the ground.
I went closer
And saw something else.

Snow angels
Dancing and singing.
Honest!
I'm telling the truth!

I went closer
and they were alive!
I touched the nearest angel.
She had magnificent silver wings.

The snow angel giggled.
I think she thought I was tickling her.
This was too amazing!

I asked them to sing for me
And they sang a simple song,
I thought my little sister had learned from kindergarten.


The sun was beginning to set
And I had to go home.
I waved to them
And they waved back to me.
I was delighted.

The next day, Christmas day,
I did all my errands quickly
so I could visit my beloved snow angels.

I ran really fast
And I was able to catch up with them.
I whispered to them all my secrets and wishes
And they responded to me by dancing
and swaying their luminous bodies.

They told me that
They appeared only during Christmas Eve
and Christmas itself.
I was very fortunate to have seen them
yesterday morning but
I wept because I couldn't bear
to be separated from them for
I had grown fond of my sweet angels.

But it was meant to be.
So I kissed them all,
a big kiss for all my favorite angels.
They disappeared as the brightest light shone..

I was sad but happy too.

Now, 21 years have passed since
That extraordinary moment I shared with the angels when I was a child.
I have a wife now and the loveliest little girl.

Every Christmas morning,
We go to my special hideout
and say hello to all of my angels, our angels now.
Then..
We dance till the sunset.
