Tis the night before Christmas, and our home is finally quiet,
Our two children asleep, their breathing soft and light.
My wife and I sit together, tired but still smiling,
Another year of working, loving, endlessly trying.
In between work and parenting, late nights and little rest,
A small reward came through from stake.com, unexpected but blessed.
It wasn’t a fortune, nothing flashy or grand,
Just enough for a strawberry cake we could hold in our hands.
Pink, sweet, and simple, sitting on the table just right,
Shared as the house glowed warm in the Christmas light.
Our kids laughed loudly, cream on their cheeks and nose,
And in that moment, life felt richer than it shows.
No luxury, no excess, no need for more,
Just the quiet joy of knowing what we’re working for.
That night, my wife and I understood it clear and deep:
Happiness is found in moments — and the family you keep.
