The Joy And Meaning (Of Christmas)

  

Play ring around the rosie

Circling the happy chubby snowman

In the spirit of holiday glee.

 

All fall down to make

Snow angels on the ground

In honor of those with us in spirit.

 

Let the chill of old man winter

Help remind us how precious it is

To have a roof over our heads.

 

Admire the holiday lights blinking

Reminding us that humanity

Is full of bright colors around the world.

 

Take the time to enjoy the merriment

Of fun and pleasure that Santa Claus brings

But lets not forget the true meaning

And those with no chimneys

To hang their stockings.

I like it. It takes me back to when I was younger when I knew what Christmas was about and thought about others at Christmas. Thanks.

It is so refreshing to read a poem about Christmas that accentuates the true meaning of CHRISTmas!!
Well done in delivering such an important message of caring for others in such a cheerful way!!

So very true. Everyone thinks Christmas is about presents and material things. We should all stop and think for a tiny second about a wee baby in a manger and a man on the cross !! Sincerely written ..thank you soo much,

It gave me such joy to read this and see that there are people out there that still remember what the true meaning of Christmas is. You stripped it of the commercialization and brought us back to the essence of it all. Loved it.
