To some Christmas means there’s presents beneath the tree.
To others, it’s children’s laughter, as happy as can be.
Though Christmas means all this I must admit it means more to me.
It means celebrate and share the good news with family.
The good news is Christmas is the birthday of our Lord,
The son of God, salvations deliverer who is the living word.
Christmas is the time to thank God for sending us his son.
It was through his life and because of the cross that our salvation can be won.
Christmas is the time of year to stress good will and love.
This love was given to each of us through Jesus Christ, the dove.
Praise him on this fabulous day of celebration.
Let us all take time to worship him with great jubilation.
So it is my wish to you and to all your loved ones, too.
A very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you.
It sadly seems that many have truly forgotten that fact in our modern, self-centered, 'me, me, me' world.
Thanks for this blessing of a poem. The beauty of this written piece comes from the truth of its message that "this love was given to each of us through Jesus Christ, the Dove" ....at the first Christmas.

Fine poetic expression on cultural beliefs... A Paean expressing the will of a glowing soul.

Marcia tells about her old family tradition where they had a white birthday cake and they all sang the happy birthday song to Jesus. It is good to bring our Christ back into Christmas!!!
