Written with surprise in mind... describing it.
Anticipation curls around us
Like a light breeze on a humid day
Pleasant relief that begs for more
We gather around the Christmas tree
Our eyes wide with wonder
Some reach in and take up the gifts
Shaking them and making guesses
But all is held in secret
Wrapped in glittering paper
And flashy silken bows
When the time comes
And anticipation is stretched to a fine wire
We gather round the tree
Gifts are handed out to all
One at a time until we all hold one
Some rip and tear in great delight
Others slowly savour the experience
But each face alights with pleasure
And squeals of delight ring through the air
As the presents are revealed.
