In the soft glow of the flickering candlelight, the shadow of Frodo's lashes danced on his cheeks. He'd fallen asleep, curled up like a child in Bilbo's favourite armchair. A volume of elven lore lay open on his lap, two empty wineglasses rested nearby. A tiny smile curved one corner of his mouth.

Sam didn't have the heart to wake him.

Cold wind rattled the windowpanes, but all was warm close by the fire. Sam leaned back contentedly, eased free one pale hand and pressed a kiss into its palm.

“Happy Yuletide, my love,” he whispered, and closed his eyes.

*Joins the Aaw! chorus*. Happiness is being safe and snug with the one you life. This certainly fits Sam's wisdom.
