The children were excited; tomorrow was Christmas!
The tradition, to catch their Christmas angel.
Imagine now the little ones jumping up and down, rolling all around, trying to catch their angel.
The tiniest of all jumped so high while clasping his hand and shouted, “I caught mine!”
Holding his hands together with a big smile, being careful not to let the angel escape.
Minutes passed by, and as he watched the other children leaping with joy, his big brown eyes widened; looking at his hand, still holding tight, he turned to his grandmother, “please, do you have a cage?”

I like that tradition of catching one’s Christmas angel.

I love the idea of the children catching their Christmas angels, but the thought of caging it seems antithetical. You capture the little boy’s voice beautifully.

His thinking about caging it was the thought of losing it, little did he know!

What a sweet tradition told with the innocence of a child wanting to keep the angel he caught. The irony works well in this story.
