It's Christmas Eve.
Today, a heavy snow fell, from morning till night, continuously coming down.
All around was a vast expanse of whiteness; as far as the eye could see, there was only white and twinkling lights.
The lights shone on the snow, and the white snow reflected a bright gloss, further enhancing the surroundings into a crystalline glass world, pure and beautiful.
Everywhere was festooned with lights and decorations; even in the community, many Christmas trees were put up, adorned with colorful lights.
This is the grandest holiday in the West, and one of the children's most loved holidays, especially on Christmas Eve. Every child awaits the arrival of Santa Claus, also anticipating their own gifts.
Jasmine Yale bought a Christmas stocking for her baby, filling it with candy and stars she had folded herself.
Every day, she prayed that this child would not be born prematurely, that he would be safe and sound.
