The Light of the Night - A Christmas Carol

I put a scoop of sand in each bag and took as many candles as I could carry. Just like Santa, I went from one house to the next. Like Santa, I was a bit stealthy and managed not to be seen. They were meant to be burned for an evening only. And I'd have to go back around tomorrow to pick them all up. So sad. But driving along the streets and seeing everyone represented in a glowing, flickering light made it all feel well worth it.
