AOSIF · Merry Christmas | May starlight fill your windowsill

For many people, their first encounter with Christmas begins at a window on a snowy night of childhood. A corner shop’s Christmas tree dusted with snowflakes, twinkling lights casting a golden glow beneath the street lamps, and a stocking laid beside the pillow before sleep -each quietly shelters innocent dreams of Santa Claus and his reindeer sleigh, allowing the romance of fairy tales to take root in the cold night.

Whether it is the childhood joy of holding a piece of candy, or the comfort of gathering around the fire with family and friends in adulthood, whether on Christmas or on ordinary days and nights, may you always discover life’s small, tender beauties, and feel the warmth and calm of time gently unfolding.
