Christmas Eve
 
There is a stillness that settles in on Christmas Eve, especially when children are involved. The world slows, lights dim, and attention turns inward. This drawing captures that quiet anticipation, where tradition, warmth, and closeness take precedence over noise and rush.
 
Two children sit side by side, dressed for the season, hats pulled low as they lean into a shared moment of reading. Their small bodies curve toward one another naturally, absorbed in the pages before them. Candles glow nearby, stacked books rest within reach, and the scene feels intimate and unguarded, as if time itself has paused to make room for togetherness.
 
Christmas Eve honors the tenderness of family rituals passed down year after year. It reflects how memory is formed through calm moments just as much as celebration. Through black ink, Lakeem preserves this scene as a reminder that cultural memory often lives in the quiet spaces, where care, learning, and love are gently shared.
