…and the world seemed to hold its breath.
The fireplace crackled softly, as if whispering old secrets, and the shadows danced along the walls in rhythm with the flames. Outside, the snow, rare, yet persistent , covered everything in an almost sacred silence. No voices, no footsteps, only the distant sound of the wind and a feeling of anticipation in the air.
Inside the house, every detail felt like it was waiting for something greater: the stockings carefully hung, the tree glowing with gentle lights, the presents resting like unopened promises. Even the clock, usually in a hurry, marked time with reverence.
It was the night before Christmas, when even the most tired hearts allow themselves to believe again, that miracles are possible, that tomorrow can be kind, and that for a few hours, the whole world agrees to be more human. 🎄
