I let the sounds of Christmas carols fill the background—not loud, but soft and familiar, like a warm conversation with an old friend. Their melodies carry memories, each note whispering stories of simplicity and warmth.

Above all, I find my peace in the silence. With a warm drink in my hands, the soft crackle of a fire beside me, and nothing demanding my attention in that moment. These are my refuge, a pause amidst the season’s busyness. Here, in the simplicity, I feel the true essence of Christmas—a quiet peace and a cozy, heartfelt love.

This is the Christmas I want to remember, the Christmas I want to hold onto.
