The Stillness of Christmas Eve

Updated: Jul 5, 2022

By Cali Alvarez


I love the stillness of Christmas Eve

After everyone has gone to sleep

And the house is quiet

And the stars are still.

A whisper of Christmas magic,

Amid the blanket of ink-blue sky,

Of the Miracle soon to come

All those Eves ago.

I love the stillness of Christmas Eve

In the minutes before He came

When Mary was waiting

And the Star was rising.

A glow of hope,

Of light and love,

Of perfection and grace

Just about to be born.

I love the stillness of Christmas Eve

After everyone has gone to sleep

And the house is quiet

And the stars are still.

I recall the moments before

Our Savior arrived

The calm before the storm

Of light and love

That showered the world

In Love.

I love the stillness of Christmas Eve

Before the movement of Christmas Day.
