Write about a Christmas moment. Keep it tightly focused: green and red sparks twinkle on a round blue ornament, drizzled in gold glitter. On the lower half of the roundness, where less of the glitter crusted, reflect the curved images of two children in red pajamas pulling aside bright wrapping paper. The background soft chimes of Christmas music take back stage to the delighted “thank you’s” as some are shouted out in inattentive abandon while others are whispered in glorious wonder.
Or write about a birthday, if you are commercial Christmassed out.
