this starless tree
awaiting winter solstice
its crown of glory

It’s been traditional in my family that the “man of the house” puts the star on the Christmas tree once it has been completely decorated. Usually we put up our tree on the 8th of December, in Italy that is the Feast of Annunciation of Jesus’ birth to the Virgin. This year, however, I put the tree up later than usual, and am awaiting my son who will arrive tomorrow, the 21st of December, Winter Solstice, to place the star on the tree.
winter evening
hanging stars around the house
bright Christmas cheer
