Happy Sunday! Decorations are all packed away, Except for these crows. They will stay To adorn the tall tree And remind you and me To see holiday joy every day.

Another witchy MC, but not just for halloween. A story of friendship. It's soft and sweet and just what you want to read and night. Masterful in both prose and art.
