Advent Ghosts 2024: A Christmas Star

 The TV weatherman had predicted a snowstorm, but Cecil and his grandson savored a clear night outside. A Christmas miracle? Perhaps, but only if you set the bar low, or appreciated the little things.

“What’s that?’ Timmy enquired indicating a pulsing purple orb.

Cecil chuckled “Haven’t you been listening to my stories? Must be the star of Bethlehem.”

“Umm, is it getting bigger?”

Cecil frowned, the orb now had a streaky tail and was hurtling downwards at top speed.

“Timmy, inside now.” Grandpa ordered trying his darndest to forget another story which had just come to mind. One about dinosaurs.
