On Christmas Eve, the power went out across the small town. No lights, no music, no warm ovens—just quiet and cold.
Lila lit a candle and noticed her neighbors doing the same. One by one, doors opened. Someone brought bread, another shared soup, and a child began to sing softly. Laughter followed.
When the lights finally returned, everyone paused. For a moment, no one rushed back inside.
That night, they realized Christmas hadn’t come from decorations or electricity—but from finding each other in the dark. 🎄✨
