Chair!

It all started with a chair. It was Christmas eve , and everything felt like it was standing still. The wind had finally died down, and the newly fallen snow was settled. I had the hot chocolate steaming in my hand, watching the marsh mellows bounce up and down in the cup with each sway of the rocking chair. Grandpa D was across the way playing a melody i had never heard before on the organ. The combination of the music, the stillness of the night, and the swaying of that chair sent me somewhere i had never been before. I felt so at peace that night and every night after wards, all because of that chair.
