As I peek through your window
see your beautiful tree
I believe your world is perfect
you have enough food
your children have clothes
you have jobs
I want to believe your tree stands for your life
maybe it does
maybe even without enough
you laugh
you love
you live
or maybe
you pretend to be happy
you pretend you laugh, love
I want to believe even without,
you can be happy
you can see that Christmas is not about who spends the most
but about who loves the best
be it family, friends, your God or just
a love for life, to help others
to offer comfort
to see Christmas
as it was meant to be
a time for family and love
not gifts and abundance
As I peek through your window
I choose what I believe
you want me to see.
Merry Christmas my friends I hope you will soon be surrounded by family, friends and love!

No tree is up and no presents wait.
But snow is coming tonight and all is well in my little world.
I am happy there are no close by bad relatives to come over and ruin the day here.
This is beautifully written and I sometimes think it is good I cannot see or hear pass the curtains of many.
