Become a Child at Christmas

a photo essay + prompt

"By all means, let us close our doors at Christmas, but let us fling wide our imaginations. May we be so bold as to not only honor old traditions, but invent new ones. May every staircase be a mountain slope, every ball of yarn a cannonball, every candy cane a harpoon, every aunt a pirate, every uncle a dragon, for on this strange night even God became a Child.”

- G. K. Chesterton
