How to find magic during the holidays

Holiday magic

The magic of the holidays still persists even in 2020. I’m still in disbelief that Christmas is less than a week away! It felt as if the year was dragging along at a crawl with no end in sight for so long, and now we are at the end. Even though the world is still not normal as we knew it 10 months ago, the wonder and awe of the season has still come back to greet us.

Bright, glowing energy

Around this time of year when the lights start to come up around the neighborhood and scents of cinnamon and sugar waft through the air, a warm and lighthearted energy seems to encompass the world. It seems not to be one thing in particular that causes this, but a culmination of different things that causes this sort of magic. For me, this energy is bright and glowing which I summarize as aglow.

Funny how the darkest days of winter are some of the best days of the year.

Things that make the world aglow

A world aglow and what that encompasses can mean different things to different people. What are some things that make your world aglow? Often times it are things that we are grateful for or enchant us. Make a list and let yourself appreciate the magic of the holidays after such a chaotic year. Below I have a list of things that may spark some inspiration for a poem of your own.

• Crackling/hissing fire
• Frozen fingers curled around a warm cup of hot cocoa
• Nostalgic ornaments hanging on a tree
• Snuggled up on the coach with fuzzy blankets watching Christmas movies
• The smell of fresh cookies when you open the oven
• Watching the snow fall on a cold winter night
• Crunching through freshly fallen snow
• The silence as the snow falls
• Smells of pine, sugar, cinnamon and ginger

Is there anything you would add to the list? Anything stir your poetic mind? Let me know <3
