In a small house, Mia and her family prepare for a quiet celebration. Today is not a big party day. It is a night with candles.

Mia lights a small candle. She puts it on the table. The room is dark but warm with light from the candle.

Her father says, "Tonight we remember good things. No loud voices, just calm time."

Mia looks at the candle and thinks about her day. She feels a little happy and a little tired.

Her mother brings hot tea and puts it down gently. They sit together, quiet and close.

Outside, Mia hears a bird sing softly. It is a peaceful sound.

Mia smiles. She likes this calm night. There are no gifts or big food, only quiet and light.

She understands celebrations can be different. Sometimes, they are not about noise or fun but about calm and small things.

Before bed, Mia blows out the candle. She feels warm inside. It was a small celebration but a nice night for her and her family.

Mia thinks, maybe next time, she will try to have a quiet candle night again. It is a sweet way to stop and feel good.
