A set of six baubles, fit to put a smile on any baby's face, so he gave the shop keeper a three-penny pence piece and put them under his arm.
'Keep the change,' he chirped and carefully carried the cheerful glass ornaments to his van. Steady, so as they wouldn't rattle and break, he wrapped them in his jacket and took them home.
She had never had a Christmas before, nor would she remember this, her first one, but for sure she would remember his love for eternity.
Now the age he was, she unwrapped the old faded tissue paper, holding the two surviving baubles in her hand, placing them ceremonially upon her fireplace.
Though he was long passed away, she knew that his love would keep her strong through many Christmases and beyond.
Sending you Yuletide Blessings for you and Heartfelt thanks to all those that have ever loved you.
